Finally an on time recognition to @TheButterflyComposer who fortunately remains one behind me (12 vs 13) for at least 6 months or so if the rules are kept to. I dread to think what will happen to his ego when he inevitably overtakes. ( ;) ). Still it is all well deserved so my sincere congratulations.
Youngsters! I've got 10 in 23 years. Clearly the newer generation is much more free with these types of accolades. ;)

I've still been here twenty years (mildly scary thought), though TBC is still less than a decade so is closer to being a youngster. Certainly he should get off my lawn, etc, etc. ;)

TBC may well be 75 years old, but he has a baby face. I've seen him. ;)

And he only joined 9 years ago. That's some fandom! :p

Always deserved, TBC. Now, how long do we have to wait for your successor? We know you like to keep these awAARds for a minute. ;)

I know we all enjoy a little ribbing for @TheButterflyComposer (I'm strangely obsessing about the ribbing on a butterfly's wings...)...

But to be fair he didn't receive the award until Tuesday so he's got until Tuesday to pass it along. At least that's how I run this thread. No sense in someone only getting 4 days honor, or 6 when they could have a full 7.

Not a bad idea to be thinking about a successor, though... ;)

He generally takes two weeks plus, fan that he is, to pass it on. I don't think I'm wrong to bring it up early. ;)

Well... That IS a way of shortening the 6 month limit on honorees. :D It becomes a 23 or 22 week restriction, which over a decade would mean... lol

Kind of making my point, Nik. One year before me, and six more cooling fans. This one is only nine years in and he's racked up that many? And can't pass them off on time? Kids these days! :p

I am part of an online community, where I have been since 2000, and they keep saying I'm forever 16 (sometimes 14). :D

The AAR subforum is such a small town. I've been here off and on for five years and I still feel like the new girl.

I feel it in my bones, my whole body. I am soon 39 and I am not young anymore, I am sorry to say. ;) My health is, as you all know, not what it should be.

Sorry @Nikolai -- that's rough. I feel getting older myself, though I'm trying to put it off. I keep telling my wife I want to be ready for middle age, even though I'm 54 and she insists that I AM middle aged. :D

But, doing the math, I just realized you were 15 when you joined! I guess maybe I knew that from somewhere, but thinking about it now it's impressive to have folks that age around. I wonder how many teenagers are on the Forum today.

Nice to hear from the young folk here :D Oh to be only 54 again :p Don't worry Renss, it's the new 40.

Nikolai, I do know though it's all relative and sincerely hope you can continue to make the best of the cards you've been dealt. Being part of this community helps, I believe <3

I'm one of them (for how much longer depends on what age you define as stopping being a teenager...)

I feel like 40 is middle aged, with the average age being 80-something these days. :p And yes, I was a little 15-year-old Nikolai back when I joined! :D How time flies.

No worries about that Bullfilter, I love being here. :D
