    I'm not sure "Grandpa" is the right analogy. As you get older, time flies faster. I still think 1990 was 10 years ago.

    Same. I also still think Simpsons is in its golden age, though that is now to be debated since the movie's hype ended ten years ago.

    Was discussing this the other day. It's over 13 years now. Quite a while. I was so young and my god. My original posts.... horrible.

    If I do the math it was several years over ten ago. I honestly can't name the exact when. But it was definitely in middle school.

    aboutttt 13 years now :D

    It all started on Neopets & Neopets Guilds. I had my little crew of RP buddies on there. Then I took it to MSN Groups bc I had no idea forums existed. I wasn't even really sure what a forum was back then, only that people roleplayed on them lol. When MSN Groups died out, I had my span of rebellious/effed-up teenage years where I took a long hiatus. That spanned from age 14 - 18.

    In 2010, I discovered SoulsRPG and haven't left there since. I have recently started branching out to other RPs, too, just to get a taste and feel of other things and how sites run. I plan to create my own roleplay someday :3

    Edit: Somewhere in between Neopets & my long hiatus, there was, of course, GaiaOnline. But I never truly got the hang of how that worked xD I tried, though.

    17 years, been rping since I was 10 years old and started out on neopets. At around 13 years old I rped on Myspace groups. Man those were the days. xD At 14 my friends and I opened a rp site through proboards. Around 15 I moved to Invisionfree and stayed there for the better half of my life until about four or five years ago moving to JCINK and I don't think I would give it up for the world. I also have a character who was my first ever rp character I still play though she has evolved GREATLY. She isn't even the same species she started as.

    i began rp when i was nine years old, i believe (which is well over a decade ago at this point). but it was kind of an off-and-on affair for me since i struggled a lot w/creative writing + my muse for it, as i think would be understandable for the snot-nosed kid i was when i began.

    as far as uninterrupted rp + finding a niche for myself though, i've been happy w/where i am in rp since roughly the beginning of 2014

    I don't know exaaaaactly. I started on Neopets prooobably 17 or 18 years ago! :o But my first forum RP was on suddenlauch right after I was introduced to Tolkien Fandom, which was 15 years ago! My posts were terrible but it's fun to look back on some of the old dead boards I used to be on and see my old writing and how it has improved!

    I have been roleplaying since around 2009, so almost 10 years, wow hard to believe! Started roleplaying on a site called Max-Dan-Wiz and then staffed on RpNation for sometime and then started running my own general board. It was really weird like once I began to staff, doesn't seem like I can go back to being a normal member.

    Eighteen years. Which is really weird for me. My first RPG was a Cats Musical RP played over an e-mail list.

    That makes me really old in internet years.

    Lets see...about 14-15 years of official roleplay, before that just wrote for my own amusement. So...RP is better for the additional inspiration acquired from a back and forth rather than me knowing everything that's going to happen. ...I like mystery.

    Guh... Roughly 18 years? I forget. I remember I mostly roleplayed with my goofy friends and sister with this tattered notebook before internet was a huge thing.
