It wasn't since I discovered Bitcoin about a month ago -- and a lot of people discovered it about the same time as me (or later!)
We'll never have times like that again, ever -- not for Bitcoin.
Yeah, great times. And just recently with Namecoins... crazy income was had for just over 1 week, then the word got out, and the difficulty went through the roof. All fairly even now on both sides (BTC, NMC), which is okay.... nice steady sensible income.
