"Age Pyramid" of the CPod community? [usage not biological age]

19th October 2005 :)

I remember the first podcasts I heard were about Christmas, so I must've started in December of 05. It was love at first ... listen. I still love my chinese pod, even if I'm not computer savvy enough to figure out a lot of the site. I listen to my podcasts, do some of the premium practice stuff. I even have been talking to Aggie for the past couple of months. WOW, has that ever helped my conversational Chinese. I am a walking advertisement for Chinesepod whenever I meet anyone with even the smallest interest in learning Manderin.

OK, Bazza and Lantian take the crown. Still around since CPod's Cretaceous period. I myself consider myself fairly "young", having discovered CPod not before April 2006.

And I started listening back in November 06. I too am wondering about Mexico Bob, he's a wonderful encouraging guy. Hope he's okay.

Bob Mrotek where are you ? (I told you there´s this hole...) ;-)

I started in last month, [June].

Excuter, I think I just fell in that Hole Of Lost Posts you mentioned.

or should I say "lost users". Thats strange...

you gotta use the way of community using the way with exit on it might mean you never find your way back. huh..*fill in the sound of a cold wind here* ;-)

Henning When I click on "User Details" under your profile, it has "Registered: Nov 30, 1999" Hmmmm....you must have had a premonition that CPod was going to form 6 years AFTER you registered! Wow! That's AWESOME!

how shall I say this... well I started before the switch but don´t know when exactly. I don´t care much about that kinda thing´s what count´s is I´m here ;-) for my age see my profile please :-) ähm...jaaa...it seems there´s a hole somewhere where which eats the users that used to be around here when I started...(carefull don´t fall in it!)

I REALLY miss Bob. I was counting on him to pull me through SpanishSense.

I found the site November or December of 2005 and registered early 2006. I became a basic subscriber a few months later. Presently, I'm in my second month as a practice subscriber. It's been very interesting to watch the site grow, pains and all.

I just registered to the Cantonese forum and noticed Mexico Bob has also registered. Probably a good sign.

Non-paying participant since September 2005; premium subscriber since March 2006.

FYI Have been logged in from very early days when I chanced upon the site, used many other sites to translate my friends emails and chats on QQ ! Started to find time for Chinese pod then signed up on V3 as I felt I had free_loaded long enough! I am now finding it hard to fit in the study time, but will not drop off. Having worked in China over the past 15 years, and loving the place I shall always keep up the language practice and hope to return at least once a year

Registered Dec. 2005, but was a listener before I got the courage to commit. When was the first podcast?

March 2006 was when I discovered CPod. I've been adicted since.

A few months after I started living in China someone introduced me to ChinesePod, used it for free for a good year or so, became a Premium subscriber after the launch of V3. Almost never left comments until recently. Use it every day.

I started reading Ken's blog in November 2006. I'm a subscriber since January 2007.
