Since 2007. I didn't make an account until January of 2011. My first game was OP Mad Dog.

First AP game was 2002.

Carlton Field. Met tool and Rick. It was Ricks first game as well.

I had been Selling Airsoft retail for about 6 months at that time and was trying to find time to come out and play. Stumbled apon AP and met Matt at a gunshow.

When I started with AP games I was just tagging along with my brother and his team. Didn't need an account.

It's been over 11 years since I went to my first game hosted by APST, and have been a member of the community since then.

Oh and if we're not talking about AP community activity... 8-9 years maybe? I bought my TM AK Beta before playing with AP...
