How exciting, BP is coming up to 1,000,000 POSTS! What a fete for @Joshua Dorkin next to him, who has been here the longest? @Jon Holdman ? I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all of you that stuck it out in the early days, as like any business venture, I'm sue there was a lot of wondering what would come of it, and here all of you are, you've made it a SUCCESS!!! and by far THE best real estate site anywhere!! Thank you! 

So.. How long have YOU been here, and how did you find BP?

I think I joined the site in early 2007.  I started seriously looking at RE investments in 2006 after a project I had put a lot of effort into in my day job was cancelled.  Found this site not too long after that.  I don't recall exactly when @Joshua Dorkin convinced me to become a moderator.
