Member since 2012 (ah wut, I still have the activation email!), after migrating (easily) from a dying Delicious. Thank you so much for running this! As far as actually useful web services go (and holy crap is this useful!) it's by far the most stable I've ever used, and it never got bogged down in useless crap like 99% of other web services which constantly need to pivot while looking for a way to actually make money.

It's been a frickin' journey. ~2004, started using Delicious. ~2005, built my own search site because Delicious couldn't handle searching through a few thousand bookmarks with a few thousand tags! 2006, contacted by a researcher looking into tag clouds because mine had more unique tags than bookmarks. 2012, migrated to Pinboard for a fixed lifetime fee. Best money I ever spent! Today, heard about the bookmark archive functionality and signed up immediately.
