Your memory is good, apparently you joined July 12th, 2008. Didn't take long to find.
Can't say much about the old times, as I joined the EGB later. I do however think that this club is still very much worthwile. My wish to join back then certainly helped me being invested in the well being of the portal and staying around. Even with portal mods, this thread is helpful, as many of the regulars have a good eye on the portal and report stuff faster than other users. On top of that, the EGB in my mind can also be sort of a trainings ground for future users knowing rule-breaking submissions and being a big help for portal mods in the long term. Right now the portal is well protected, with the EGB being active and lots of active portal mods, but people leave eventually and I personally feel good knowing that this Club is still going. That's just my view on it. I apreciate you all.
