@OgNasty has also been here since 2011 and have been active ever since then till now... Or 2011 users are not considered under the old members count ??
I think “still active” are they key words in that subject. There were many users here when I joined that had a lot more knowledge than I did. It’s just that most people left or were chased away by the toxic environment and politics here. Myself, I thrive in toxicity so I don’t mind what this place has become. However, it is a shell of the bitcointalk that existed prior to 2017. So I don’t see me being considered an elder here to be some accomplishment. It says more about the state of the environment here that so many others decided to no longer participate.
