    Nov 28, 2008 for me. I think my "attendance" has been about as sporadic as my exam taking during that time though. This is only my 60th post!

    Yeah it was great. Things change I guess - currently working on an Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016 migration so the on premise server lives on :)

    We're just about to migrate to 2016 from 2010. Just need to move the mailboxes, a job for half term.

    Mad how the cert landscape has changed over the years. It's definitely speeding up, is the latest that you need to renew your MCSE every year with MS? I think once I got over about 10 Microsoft exams I started to think, I've done enough of these I think. I'm not sure what certs I'll do in the future. Great foundation that first MCSE and VCP for me tho, did learn a ton

    Who was it that wrote a book for CompTIA A+, like a day-to-day for A+ technicians, was it you @jk2447 ? That's my earliest memory of CertForums. If not, it was a fellow called @tripwire or something like that.

    Hey it's still great now, just some new names, fresh blood into the IT rat race trying to work up the ranks. I don't do as many certifications these days, I feel like I've done my dues, but I still come on here to see what people are saying. Important to encourage people who are new to this, CF kept me studying early on when I wanted to quit. I mean who wants to sacrifice hundreds of hours of their life, its hard isn't it, and often has to be done

    Apparently I've been a member since Sept 1st 2008, to say my activity has been haphazard since then is probably an understatement!
