ESL Discussion

I'm a new comer here but I've already realized that EC is very helpful for me in my efforts to improve my English skills. It's the real source of different  materials and I've already started to use them in my studies. But honestly I'm interested in the members of this club most of all. On the one hand, there are some people who come here and then leave that place for different reasons. On the other hand, there are some people who are very close. It's clearly they've known each other for a long time, because they have got a lot in common, they know much about each other ( I mean their families, hobbies, problems.........). And there are some new comers. Some of us will stay here for a long time ( I do hope to be in this group), some will leave. I'm eager to find out some information.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THE MEMBER OF EC?

IS THERE ANY RECORD? WHO HAS BEEN HERE FOR THE LONGEST TIME?
