Guess I didn't make your original list of Top Members. And, I sponsored one of them/
It is great to see all the AR royalty right there! What fun.

Craig- Class of 2008! You deserve an honorary PhD just for putting this together! Day job or not, I'm glad to see you when I see you.

I actually joined in 2008 but I didn't actually start blogging until 2009. I was a late bloomer.
Craig, I just wish we started blogging when we joined in 2006 instead of promptly taking a 3 year sabbatical before we came back!

Hi Craig - just in time for Back to School night -- won't my parents be surprised when I tell them?
Yes, this is cool. I look at it from time to time. I'm in the great year of 2010 right along with you. I just hit my 4 yr mark of blogging beg of July. I had a 5 month hiatus between signing up and doing anything.
I do check it out from time to time. I'm rapidly approaching 6 years. It's just a few days away.

I'm class of 2009 Craig.. In the Real Estate world you are considered a Rookie for the first 5 years. So I guess I graduated this summer (although I didn't start blogging until mid-2011). Woohoo!

Class of 2009 for me. I really didn't get started writing a post for awhile but once I got the fever it hasn't let up

Good morning Craig,
I came over from Kathy's post this morning and not sure how I missed this post! What a great idea!! 'm from the 2008 group..I started posting the end of October when things had slowed down due to the mortgage crisis! So glad I did!!

I would be 5th row, 2008 roster. It's cool to look at some of the top bloggers and seeing when they joined. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I'm in the 2010 group, though I think I joined in 2008. Some people start blogging on Day One; others need to lurk a while first.

Craig, what a nice post. I remember commenting on the last one that you wrote. So nice to see our friends in one concise spot. Also nice to see that I am in such good company for 2013! Thank you for my inclusion in your post. ![]()

Oh my, what a surprise to see my ugly mug in the class of 2008! Where has the time gone???

I found us... it took a while but I did... I wrote my first post on 12/30/2011... Time goes fast when you're having fun

I'm the class of 2007.....although I signed up on New Year's Eve of 2007, LOL!
I really had to dig deep to find the link but when I did I was hooked and spent more time than I wish to admit tracking old AR friends. Thanks Craig!

I'm wondering how this post didn't get featured yet. It's great to see all of the '06's who were the brave early adopters.

I believe I'm from the class of 2008, but I started late in the year. (I'm going to use that as an excuse for not being in the top numbers.) Plus, I didn't participate very much in my first year.

Hi Craig... What a fun post! It does look like a yearbook. I'll be celebrating the completion of my 5th year at Activerain on 11/23/2014... Looks like I'm going for a doctorate :O) Though we don't see you as often (with the day gig and all) and I can totally relate. You're always on my radar and I appreciate your contributions!

I've been plugging away since 2007 - which is a startling fact to me sometimes. It's good to see so many new and very active bloggers.
Sandy Padula and Norm...

That's a neat feature that I didn't know existed on ActiveRain. I joined in 2008, and I am ranked #18.

Craig, I have stumbled on this before so it is nice to have this post as a good reminder to see who I am friends with!
Class of 2010 for me. That is fun. I will have to drill down and check this out further.
Hey Craig, This reminds me of the fact that I signed up in 2010 but then disappeared until we met. My blogging career as I know it now started three years ago October in 2011 after much coaxing and encouragement from you. Thanks so much!!

Craig, I'm in 2006 together with Margaret Rome. Haven't looked at that roster in a while!
2010 was a very good year for new AR bloggers! Look at those awesome mugs!
Debbie Gartner

Wow, I did not know I joined ActiveRain way back in 2007, with my first post in 2008, 3 more in 2009 and nothing until July 2010 after that!

Craig - This was fun. Thank you. It's been a long time since I first joined the Rain.
There was a time when I was in the top of my class, but alas... business and life keep interfering. This is a good nudge to get busy! Thanks for the post, Craig.
Maragret Rome and I both joined on the same day in July 2006. There were about 800 of us at the time.

Hi Craig, Glad to be a part of the Class of 2011. We certainly have some great bloggers in all these Groups by the years. Great job putting this together.

Craig,
So many of the original early adopters are long gone. It's nice to see though, that there are still quite a few using the platform to it's fullest advantage.

Hi Craig. Thanks for the post! I look at this roster every now and then, and it does make me push myself a little more. When I first became a Realtor, I blogged so much my husband had to practically pry my fingers off the keyboard (which, of course, became a blog post), but now I do find that the actual business of Real Estate keeps me so busy I just don't do the posts as often. But - I can "feel a change coming on!"

OK... now you've got me curious. I've never really looked at the roster, but I will now!

Hey Craig,
I will check this out for myself. Not sure when I joined or how I found out about Active Rain. Happy Labor Day!
I just checked this out. I joined in 2010 and I am #12. This is good since I didn't start blogging after joining for a year. Thanks and Happy Labor Day.

Craig, "I coulda been a contenda!" I joined in 2007--can you believe it, with all of those grand champions, but didn't do a darned thing til 2010-2011...I'm not even sure.
Anyway, enough about ME, back to YOU. You always deliver very interesting posts and I'm thrilled that Kathy Streib guided us your way!

I am proud to be on the 2010 class page 1 and I will strive to be higher next year.
I'll be darn. I'm in a class up there. Right after my 40th real class reunion! Thanks!
HI Craig - I never knew that existed! I'm in a super class 10/08: Dorie Dillard, Jay Markanich, Tammie White, Joyce Kelley and Wayne Johnson, to name a few.

Spotted AR in late 2006, joined and started blogging first of 2007...in January. Boy, lots of changes from the small ranks to large waves and the programming fare. Nothing stays static, the same.
So cool! I'm in the class of 2012. I often forget that because I didn't do anything with my account until 2013. But glad I made the decision to!
Craig, How cool is that. Wow, I've been blogging in the Rain for over 7 years. Maybe that is what's up with me. Perhaps I am experiencing a 7-year itch or something like that.
Class of 2012 here, I suppose I am heading into Junior year in the Rain this 2015. Excited to keep blogging ahead.
Hi Craig,
It's hard to believe but I'm in the class of 2007! I was a slow starter though!:)
Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm in the class of 2007! I've been a little slow in blogging this year. I may have senioritis... Have a great week!
Craig: I am a graduate of the 2010 class. Still chugging out real estate content for my local readers.
