Hello,
I’ve been using linux a bit over 20 years now. I started with ubuntu 5.04, I still have screenshots from back then.
I used to hang out on the ubuntuforums from 2005 until maybe 2010.
I registered again because while reading a discussion from about a year ago, there was a link to an ubuntuforums thread and the link just redirects to the index of this discourse page. So I came to post in the ‘site feedback’ forum about that.
Regards,
dhr
Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse 
Glad to see you made it here and we hope you find much to keep you interested for the future.
Hello @dusthillresident and welcome to the ‘club’ aka Discourse. 
Welcome @dusthillresident, my Ubuntu experience has followed the same trajectory as yours. I was on the old forum from, probably, about 2005 and found it very useful as I’d never had contact with Linux before. At that time there seemed to be many people like me who needed quite basic help and I was able to provide some of that.
Eventually I retired and got involved in other things although still using Ubuntu regularly. It’s so reliable I’ve only rarely needed help. Recently I came back and discovered Discourse. Looking at the posts I get the impression that most users now are asking for help that’s well `beyond my pay grade’. But that’s good because it means Ubuntu has become much more mainstream than back in those early days.
Enjoy the Discourse experience!
