Well, if you go way back, we are at least 23 and counting...
if you go to the very beginning of the Epi "Gail's Recipe Swap".
I had been thinking the same thing about how this board had slowed almost to a stop. Time was I'd log in and it would take quite a while to read through all of the new posts. Now I search to see if there is a new post!
What a great article, thank you! I joined Gail's quite early in 1996, not long
after we got an Internet connection. DH had been told at work that the internet was boring, so I had to ask for the connection as a birthday present, December 1995, as he wasn't interested.
I turned 68 on March 14, 2018. I posted on original Gail's but have no recollection of exactly when
I joined. I moved over to 'epicurious' and was also at 'finerkitchens' (is that the right order?) and finally gravitated here when some kind soul from one of the first 3 sites sent me an E-mail to alert me about the new "eat.at" swap. These sites have turned out to be simply wonderful for acquiring delicious new recipes; learning or improving cooking techniques; and making new friends.
