I joined in fall 2004 when my university was available on FB. One of DH's first moves was to "poke" me. Does anyone remember that feature? I quit in 2011, shortly after DS1 was born.

I had no idea I had been on for 10 years. Apparently I joined in September 2004.

9 years! I got it the DAY it opened up to my college. I think some people voting 10 are thinking "oh I had it from the beginning" but the first year it was (slowly) adding colleges, starting with bigger ones. I knew we got FB when I had about 7 missed calls after a class one day My friend at UDel had been letting me use her log in just to see it for the prior week!

I have been on Facebook since 2004. I was a freshman in college when I first joined.

So since facebook lookback isn't working for me (boo! fb glitch!), I was able to look back to the first photo I was tagged in and it was Nov 2005. But I think I was on FB a little bit before I was tagged. So almost 9 years.
I was a junior in college.

I think 8 years. I joined my senior year of high school right after I got my .edu email address for college!

8 years for me, I don't think I was even in University yet? Maybe I was by then?

haha I joined when it was still relegated to just certain college campuses. My login is still my UNCW email address But I didn't start using it until Myspace got lame.

Since 2005. I remember everyone in my senior class waiting to get their college email addresses so they could join The Facebook, haha.

I think I joined in 2007! It was my senior year of high school! I wanted to join before that but my mom was SO against it.

@bluestriped bee: It's not working for me either!
I joined in 2008, so I guess it has been 6 years for me.

I was surprised to realize I've been using it that long! I joined in Nov 2004, so a little over 9 years. I remember getting it, because my cousin had it. I never really used it back then, I was too busy with instant messenger!

I've been on for 9 years since graduate school when it was very new. It's nothing like what it was when it started. I liked it when my inlaws weren't on it.

@Boogs: My FB video works now. I think FB fixed the glitch. Go try it.
So, I was wrong. I joined Facebook in 2004, not 2005. Must have signed up but didn't get into it til 2005.
