HombreSal Posted October 23, 2020 As in, the one who's been here before everyone else and is still active to this day. 1 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted October 23, 2020 I would say it would have to be Linguica. Although technically John Romero has an older join date of December 10, 1993; but that join date was modified as a joke. 7 Share this post Link to post
DooM Bear Posted October 23, 2020 I misread the title and was hoping to see a lively 92yo taking home the “oldest active Doomworld member” title :-P I dunno why but it always just warms my soul when I see people in their 80’s and 90’s enjoying video games :-D Anyways, yep Linguica started Doomworld so he woulda been the first person on the site :-) 3 Share this post Link to post

So... I'll be expecting my well-earned cookies in the mail shortly :) 15 Share this post Link to post
dmslr Posted October 23, 2020 More correct question would be: "Who is the oldest continually active member in doomworld? Except Linguica and Mordeth" 1 Share this post Link to post

I'll be expecting my well-earned cookies in the mail shortly :) Well, looks like his last post was on Saturday, so I think that counts as active. I knew you've been around for a long ass time, but Ling has you beat by a hair. You guys can divvy up the cookies as you see fit. Or you know, you could give them to someone who wasn't a founder. Not sure who that would be though. And @Grazza: I forgot about Julian's absurd join date. However it looks like the last post by Julian was back in 2013, so that definitely fails the continually active criteria. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) The question makes me think of age, at one point it would have been Ty who sadly passed some years ago, GreyGhost was active and in his 60’s but is now awol - hopefully not gone though.. @Steve D and @Doom_Dude, please don’t be annoyed at me for singling you guys out, but I think you may be the oldest most experienced active Doomworld denizens.. right? 3 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted October 23, 2020 god, i remember GreyGhost being quite active too. i hope nothing has happened to them, last time they posted were back in 2016... 3 Share this post Link to post

You'll have to do better than that to get me annoyed. ;) I'm one of the old ones yeah, and have been around since 2000. I was only slightly active here for years, then Newdoom went away, so I migrated over here and started posting more crap and stuff. I'm probably more old and lazy than experienced. :D What about Covaro, he was doing the news right after Linguica started posting. And Bloodshedder has been around since 99. And the mysterious Mordeth, who pops up when you least expect it. ;) Edited October 23, 2020 by Doom_Dude 2 Share this post Link to post

baja blast rd. Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Linguica under any interpretation of the title. - Continually active: yeah, he's been around since DW started and is currently active. - Oldest: yeah, the Bible makes references to him. He's been around for thousands of years. Doomworld is rumored to be primarily an experiment who gets into heaven and who is condemned to... Post Hell Everything Else. 7 Share this post Link to post

Bauul Posted October 23, 2020 10 hours ago, HombreSal said: As in, the one who's been here before everyone else and is still active to this day Do you mean continously active (i.e. earliest join date and remained reasonably active ever since) or do you simply mean earliest join date and active today? Because your thread title suggests the former while your top post suggests the latter. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted October 23, 2020 I would not call myself "continually active" on Doomworld, I was inactive around 2008 - 2014. 4 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted October 23, 2020 I have been continually active since 2000. But I don’t post that much. 2 Share this post Link to post

Endless Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Pretty sure is @Mordeth, since Ling had a period off from Doomworld, tho, indeed, he's the oldest user. That makes me think of the crazy loyalty of these guys, people who have been in the community for almost three decades. Respect. 2 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Nebula Posted October 23, 2020 I've been visiting Doomworld almost ever since it started, but didn't register until early 2006 here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted October 23, 2020 I might be among the longest-active regular members (non-founder/mod). I've been visiting Doomworld since before it had forums. 3 Share this post Link to post
