How old is the cage site?

How old is the cage site?

I enjoy being a part of this community and i was just wondering how many years ago did the cage site come to existence?

Also are there any active members on this site who have been here from the very start? By active i mean those who write blogs, post forums and participate in discussions?

Great to have you aboard, Curiousmind. You sound curious indeed

THE CAGE opened its gates to the public for the first time January 1st 2016 for a two year pilot before going full scale.

As for active members from the get go, they'll have to come up and say hi if they want.

I was not here from the "beginning" but I joined the site during the "pilot" phase. I found this site totally by accident.

It does sadden me somewhat that I wasn't here at the beginning, but just cause there wasn't anything else worth my time. The community surely needed a place like this well before its time

@House Talion​ I wasn't here from the get-go, either, I came in at the end of November 2017. At that time it seemed a lot like it does now albeit with fewer members. But then again as many have signed on, others have moved on, so in hindsight it seems to me to be a dynamic site with a lot of moving parts yet with the original common thread.

I did and do appreciate the one goodie that came with joining in the pilot period, and that's the free premium.

Who doesn't like to save a buck?

I've been here since April 2017!! My! Time does fly...

And the free premium membership is a nice perq.

I've been around since Nov 2016... Does that make me a Cage Senior Citizen? Admittedly I haven't been super engaged this past year, but it's changed a lot since I first signed up. I remember searching Users for Canadians and have 8 pop up from across the country. Sometimes there would only be a handful of users signed on at any given time. Lol.

I am one of the founding members.
It has been an amazing experience and a great adventure.

I joined December 2017, so not from the get go, but during the pilot period.

Overall here has been good, but like most things its had its moments, not the site, but some of those who have been here, some sadly still here.

Sites evolve, ebb and flow, people come and go, but some of those who were here but have now gone have in my view, left the site much poorer for there not being here. I for one miss them.

I have been on since March 2016. From what I’ve heard I’m the 17th person to join this site.
