Jesus, has it really been that long? Talking about how Conde Nast's ownership would affect the site used to be a massively hot topic.
(I started lurking fairly soon after the acquisition)
WTF was I doing in September that I did not notice that happen?
EDIT: BFD anyway. What difference does it make whether a company is owned by its owner or its owner's owner?
Logans run. "The naming of cats is a difficult matter, it's not just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter, when I tell you that each cat's got three different names."
Okay, so I just checked and it is indeed only 2 hours. I'm kind of amazed. It felt like at least 3 hours when I watched it. albeit, it was like 9 years ago and I was muuuuuch younger.
On a recent drive across the country, I had a little time to kill in a hotel in Ft. Worth, Texas. So naturally, I watched Logan's Run on my laptop. At the end I noticed scenes were filmed IN Ft. Worth, at the "water garden"! And this is the point where I'd say I then visited the place, but I was too lazy to head back out into traffic. But I found a video of the place, it's still there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqFctCc9aYI
I can't get over that you have been on Reddit for 5-years, and joined with the name, "Jbigboote".
I cannot wrap my head around why you would do that when the possibilities were endless.
Why?!
After long deliberation I decided there was absolutely no cake theme that would be relevant to you so enjoy your goddamn regular cake, you bastard. [Happy cake day!](http://images.free-extras.com/pics/s/slice_of_chocolate_cake-1341.jpg)
Ah I see. That's probably even more true lately. Recently there's been a large influx of a much younger userbase than before. I'm a sophomore in college, I still have some friends in high school, and recently I found out that this site has become popular there. Even with freshmen and sophomores.
I'm interested in how you found this site. The fact you're older than most redditors and the fact you've been here for 5 years makes me think you started back when a large portion of this site was orientated towards programmers, and that you're a programmer yourself.
However looking though your post history makes you look like a Nokia shill. Or someone who just really, really likes every detail of a forgotten mobile company.
yeah, I have no connection to Nokia, other than being a customer (an N8 is my main cell phone), and a longtime fan of the Symbian OS. I still prefer it to iOS or (almost all implementations of) Android, as I don't have to root/jailbreak my handset to use it how I want. Now that they are a Windows shop, I don't know what I'll do for my next handset. but I digress...
As for how I found this site, I don't recall. I know I used Digg before reddit, and at some point I started up with reddit, and it eventually supplanted Digg. I'm not a programmer, not by trade, though it's not completely foreign to my job either. I work in IT, that much is true.
Haha yeah, it's very rare to find someone on this site that's been here for 5 or 6 years without an IT background.
Mad props for being a Nokia fan. They make good stuff, and I've had a few of their phones before. [I had one of these](http://i.imgur.com/8QhIH.jpg) for like 3 years in a row.
Reference is a little lost on me; I would have gone with [this guy](http://cdn.okcimg.com/php/load_okc_image.php/images/0x0/0x0/0/15753328131691064890.jpeg___1_500_1_500_cb94de6a_.png)
For those of you that are curious... I made this simple little tool that tells your your reddit birthday. Check it out [here](http://lab.ididntbreak.it/reddit)
You became a Redditor a day before Condé Nast Publications acquired Reddit. You've been here longer than the owners of the site. /applauds
[удалено]
5 years. And this was your first comment. Bravo.
[удалено]
5 years. And this was your second comment. Bravo.
Shit I should've waited too
HOLY FUCK.
You win my respect. Edit: Had to make it clear I was saying you won my respect. ;)
CAN I PLAY?
Got you beat. ;) I'm sure someone will be along anytime now to tell me the same.
Get off my lawn!
Beat me to it by about 3 weeks! Well met, O wise one.
We have a winner!
[удалено]
How is it that you've been here nearly 6 years and have so little karma?
I dunno, it was just after my third Reddit birthday that I made my first comment.
I might as well join the crowd.
So you were just a lurker for five years?
Nice try, jbigboote's alt account.
You have r/gonewild. Everyone is a winner.
[Wasted days and wasted nights...](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qu8RPvhP-U)
wow that's crazy. it's my bday too.
[Happy cake day!](http://domesticred.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/redditcakeinspiration1.jpg) I guess you can have a cake too.
Well, whadayaknow...
Jesus, has it really been that long? Talking about how Conde Nast's ownership would affect the site used to be a massively hot topic. (I started lurking fairly soon after the acquisition)
[and technically Condé Nast no longer owns reddit, the parent company does.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit)
WTF was I doing in September that I did not notice that happen? EDIT: BFD anyway. What difference does it make whether a company is owned by its owner or its owner's owner?
Only a day? I was here long before that. How long ago did reddit add comment karma? (Or was that after the creation of subreddits?)
Where do you see the join date? I can't find his or mine. (yes, this is all I have)
Well....**I** don't know where the join date is, but I do know today is his Reddit Birthday... So that would make his join date October 30th.
Those cracks in your face, do they hurt?
and probably nobody will get the reference, because, you know...
Logans run. "The naming of cats is a difficult matter, it's not just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter, when I tell you that each cat's got three different names."
Thank you for doing this in 9 minutes of the OP
Hi Gabe! Can you give me a free copy of portal 2?
I don't even have portal 2!
But you're GABE!
That's actually a quote from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Elliot, the book the musical Cats was based on. The movie quotes the book.
Paraphrased by creepy old cat gun on logans run.
Yup, I love that movie. I wasn't correcting you, just giving a little more information. The more you know.
Anyone who did not know that, cannot properly appreciate the movie.
God that movie is long as fuck.
I wish it was longer. I fell in love with Jenny Agutter.
[удалено]
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Oh man, I heard that.
Well, i'm still seeding (currently at a ratio of 48) so if you want to start again from the beginning...
God her nose is so f'ing cute.
While I admit, it feels like it the first time. I'm pretty sure it's 2 hours or under.
Only 2 hours? Gladiator is 2 hours 50 minutes!
King Kong man, King Kong
Okay, so I just checked and it is indeed only 2 hours. I'm kind of amazed. It felt like at least 3 hours when I watched it. albeit, it was like 9 years ago and I was muuuuuch younger.
"They have a true name you know."

Projection. Your customer had cats who didn't listen to him because....

Renew. Renew. I prefer to remember [Jessica 6](http://imgur.com/hT3WO) and her costume. It makes me feel younger.
mmmm, Jenny Agutter. I had (still have) such a crush on her
She has a nice website where you can find details of how to get your grubby hands on a signed pic. Naturally, I'm not going to provide a URL.
No question. I empathize. I was always amazed and thankful for the ice cave scene and whatever plot point contributed to the gratuitous disrobing.
I can't get over that you have been on Reddit for 5-years, and joined with the name, "Jbigboote". I cannot wrap my head around why you would do that when the possibilities were endless. Why?!

I'm proud that I immediately recognized the reference. What an awesome movie.
It's pronounced "big booTAY"!
Best of the Johns, really.
smallberries was real good too.
The possibilities were not endless, now get off my lawn!
It was a brilliant reference.
I don't. Explain?
Liar_tuck nailed it.
Logan's run, as people have already commented. In the words of Stephen Fry, "Well, you must have some points for that!"
hey, nice day, to have your cake day!
After long deliberation I decided there was absolutely no cake theme that would be relevant to you so enjoy your goddamn regular cake, you bastard. [Happy cake day!](http://images.free-extras.com/pics/s/slice_of_chocolate_cake-1341.jpg)
Tell us a story, old timer.
in my day, reposts were frowned upon.
Reddit needs more Logan's Run references.
[Sorry for 240p](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sax6J8n1AiE)
"how long have you been living here?" and now we have the answer.
right with ya brother. i didn't even notice my 5 year bday
I get it. And im young! That's two in the hand.
FISH! AND PLANKTON! AND SEA GREENS! AND PROTEIN FROM THE SEA!
And you call yourself a redditor!
Welcome to my world.
[Indeed](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pEOz7nxky6Y#t=407s)
I have that on DVD. :)
SEA MINERALS!!!
I watched it last night. :-)
You've been here 5 years and honestly thought nobody would get this?
I can honestly say I don't recall any other Logan's Run references in my time here.
If Family Guy makes references to it, it's a pretty safe bet it's not that obscure.
family guy makes a hundred references an episode. I'm sure many of them are missed by young folks.
Oh I see. Being on reddit for 5 years isn't the same as being old. I've been here for 3 and I'm only 19.
I should perhaps clarify, in addition to reddit making me feel old, I actually am pretty old (compared to the average redditor).
Ah I see. That's probably even more true lately. Recently there's been a large influx of a much younger userbase than before. I'm a sophomore in college, I still have some friends in high school, and recently I found out that this site has become popular there. Even with freshmen and sophomores.

Fire's worth its weight in gold... when it's cold!
Motherfucking Logan's Run! One of my most favorite movies since I was young. Love it.
4.5 yearer here. I didn't remember until Liar_tuck pointed it out. Then I remembered his goofy voice.
love that movie, great reference
I own that shit bro, its a classic!
I did.
Carousal! Carousal!
Carousel! Carousel!
jbigboote, you must show us your hand.
Bigboo*tay!* Bigboo*tay!*
Shhh.. Lord Whorfin will hear you!
The deuce you say!
You musta knowa some of them amonkeyboys.
Oh shit! It's my 5-year bday, too! Congrats to us! I also feel grizzled :[
My 5-year is on Monday and I still don't know if I should post anything. Oh well! Happy cake day!
do it. I made a comment this morning and saw the cake, and knew I had to post something.
What brought you to Reddit 5 years ago? I don't even remember at this point.
I found reddit after reading a Paul Graham article explaining Y-Combinator.
Nice! Also, my cake day kicked in. AAAAWWW YEAHHH
Get off my lawn! Lousy kids...
[Happy cake day!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrj1q0bSQr1qbbpaoo1_400.jpg) This cake holds absolutely relevance but I just think it's super.
How do you have only 56 karma?!
My main username is something else :p
How very self indulgent.
Well, who indeed are you?
Carousel!
came here to say this. bravo!
Hey, me too! 5-year-birthday people, unite!!

That guy is probably the best part of the whole movie.
Why is this light on my hand blinking?!
Happy Cakeday!
be proud. you've seen everything on the internet. ever.
RENEW!!
I love that movie. Luckily, I watch every movie that Kevin Smith has recommended on any of his podcasts.

Logan's Run=most underrated sci-fi movie ever
You should try 5 years on 4chan then going on this very subreddit. You'll feel like [this](http://courtneykupsch.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/82.jpg).
/b/ may be a shithole but everytime a laugh you lose thread comes up, one of the images hits the frontpage a few hours later.
exactly, reddit filters most of the good stuff for me. I'm sure I miss some gems, but I can live with the trade-off.
you are an original piece of the global mind
All the people, all the time!?
happy birthday!
Dear Athei! This page... the references..... overload.....
I hate outside! I hate it!
IT'S MY JOB TO FREEZE YOU!
Paw Paw?
Time for a new account
Hipster
So you're saying you post a lot of cat pictures? :)
[How I feel after 3 years, getting close to 4...](http://i.imgur.com/zjmNT.jpg)
I wish I felt like the Dude, ever. closest I get is drinking white russians, and visiting r/trees.
You reminded me I was supposed to get this on blu-ray. Just ordered it from Amazon, thanks.
Do each of your cats have a name that you call them, a secret name they use when conversing with other cats and a special fancy name?
tell us wise man, how many reposts have you seen? What scared you the most?
That's how I felt after five minutes on /b/
What's the most re-posted thing you've seen?
Found this site about five years ago too, wish I made an account back then haha.
Logan's Run!
Cat man, do?
Those cracks in your face... do they hurt? shit...5 hours late, oh well. :)
Sanctuaaaaaaaary...
there is NO
God, I would turn into jello. I can't get off and its only been months.
You missed the orgy shop.
Upvoted for Logan's Run picture. Happy Reddit birthday
I do envy your 5-year old account, but this was a pretty unimaginative post for such a seasoned redditor.
meh, I don't post much, at least not anything that has any chance of being popular. I'm mostly a comment-in-obscure-subreddits guy.
I can dig it.
As a fellow five-yearerer, I would just like to tell all these young n00bs to get off my virtual lawn!
Yay, Peter Ustinov. Didn't even need to look it up!
What, surrounded by cats?
You really, really wanted to tell everyone, didn't you?
Fixed .... http://www.zoomsit.com/imagini_site/boy8.jpg
Me too. Every time I see a repost, "Quiet down you damn kids!"
I expected the "WHAT YEAR IS IT????" meme. I am dissapoint.
This guy looks like my dad in the mornings. Same hairstyle and beard, same body shape. He even has a housecoat from the 70s he refuses to throw away.
love logans run :)
I'm Up voting solely for the Logan's Run picture.
Logan's Run...Bravo sir, Bravo.
That's also how I felt after just two years working at McDonalds.
Do you also happen to have a ton of cats? Would you like one of my hand jewels?
Remember reddiquette? It's amazing no one even reads the sidebar.
Reddit has been around for at least 5 years!? wtf have i been doing with myself.
[Happy cake day!](http://seeingyourstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Old_Spice_cake.png) This seemed the most relevant cake to use.
