15 Years on Model Mayhem = 1.5 Decades, 4-5-2020
Who would have thought... I've joined Model Mayhem on April 5th, 2005 and my member number is 130. I've joined within the first week of MM opened up it's doors for members. The Greek Model Maria Tsar is the one who pushed me for days to join, but I was busy with my own NYC modeling group I just founded earlier... on... MY SPACE.. no kidding! It has been an amazing and also a rough ride with the modern administration and moderators. I am still here, although I am absent for months at at time now. Apr 05 20 11:29 am Link Congratulations! I joined in Dec 23, 2006 - member # 297020 so people started piling in pretty quickly! Lot of changes, I have no idea why I am still here at this point. Music has re-directed my creativity almost entirely. I still take pictures of stuff I want to sell. Sort of "cheesy" commercial photography. It can be a learning experience, I always want every and any defect to be well depicted so customers know what they are buying - used stuffs. I've literally 2 returns since 2000, one of them a package the Post Office smashed. I do see some potential models out and about but now is not the time or place. Apr 05 20 04:12 pm Link Happy anniversary! mine will be in October, pretty impressive numbers in the early days of MM, you were #130, and only six months later I was #55589. To say the growth as impressive for a modeling site would truly be an understatement! Apr 05 20 04:14 pm Link Hmm, old fart roll call huh. I can do that. #267917 Nov.18 2006 :-) Apr 05 20 06:01 pm Link I have been on Model Mayhem since January 20, 2006.  Apr 05 20 06:32 pm Link April 23rd 2005......here.....!!! Apr 05 20 08:38 pm Link U the Man Udor ! Apr 05 20 10:59 pm Link 3 x High Fives for reaching 15 years on Model Mayhem. After all this time on MM and you don't post this in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives Forum. Perhaps as well as the 3 x high fives you should also receive a similar number of lashings! Apr 06 20 01:41 am Link April 21, 2005. 2645. Good grief. Apr 06 20 08:39 am Link I'm only in my 11th year here. Apr 06 20 09:46 am Link udor wrote: I can't remember my "secret code" ta get in either Mr. U . . . ain't it grand gettin' aged . . . Apr 06 20 02:20 pm Link I joined September 2006 Joined One Model Place 5 years earlier Apr 06 20 03:26 pm Link I came in at Sep 23, 2005 still great journey with many ups and downs , so congratulations on being here for so many Udor Apr 06 20 04:34 pm Link I'm coming onto my 5 year anniversary and I'm # 37098554856928009684218450683190683475!!! LoL Udor, congrats and hope you make another 15 more!! Yeah those were the good old days when you could post pretty much anything and you'd get 5000 views in 1 day!!! Even 5 years later in my short time here it's changed a lot for model response. It's gonna take a melding of MM and IG to get even a ghost of the good ole days back!! Congrats to all of you, it's the only reason MM is still here!!!

But I can't remember what year I first joined. I was also early on One Model Place which died a slow death. I joined in June 2005 - just discovered where that info was! I'm a slow learner...

Reached old fart status on mm years. Apr 17 20 12:13 pm Link I don't turn 15 for another month or so on June 13th, #11270 I was on OMP first... but this was just more fun and I dumped OMP after a while (OMP took itself too seriously) I still come here in bits and spurts... but there is really an overall quiet here. Apr 28 20 06:26 am Link Udor . . . do you feel you got your $1,800.oo worth out of your membership here ? Been here since Aug 15, 2006 . . . . still have some catching up to do . . . KM Apr 28 20 08:59 am Link Hey Udor, Good for you! Oh, I missed my anniversary! I had joined Apr 09, 2005 and #663 ... you beat me by a matter of just a few days. Congratulations to us old timers. Don't know if it's worth much? The website seems to have lost ground in importance. Apr 29 20 02:15 am Link May 10, i'll join you with the 15 year thingie...

May 08 20 05:18 am Link Joined much later than you--in 2012 May 08 20 07:52 am Link I got on board several months after you but I have been following your posts for ALMOST 15 years and I want to say that it was always refreshing to have someone here who actually knew what he was talking about. Early on, there were several photographers who shared an enormous amount of knowledge. Alas, like many places on the web, they got drowned out by the clueless but louder multitude and most have long since gone silent (why fight that fight?). Wanted to thank you for your participation on the forums all these years. May 08 20 10:46 am Link I joined late April, 2009. I think I was the last batch of legacy members. So its has been 11 years. But it certainly looks like inactivity for the last few years, not my part though. Cameras and lights are still working, just not being used. Bought a ring light year and a half ago. Have not used it once. I mean on Mayhem, I did use it once on some business headshots if that counts. May 08 20 02:24 pm Link Congrats Udor. My 15 will be in November. May 08 20 10:34 pm Link April 24, 2005 - #2971 - and a mod pretty much since then. May 09 20 02:00 pm Link Brings back warm feelings for good ole' MM. Very nice to see some of the original pillars of the community here. Udor- I hope you are still here posting in another 15--- I have learned tons from the many talented folks here, and consider my time here well spent. The only thing you can count on in life is change and MM isnt what it once was---- but ahhh, in its glory days it was some fun, eh? I am a relative newbie here, got here Oct 27, 2005 # 55583 May 09 20 02:34 pm Link 15 Years ago today I joined, lot of changes, sadly some of the old friends are no longer with us.
