I did it! It took me some time but I found a photo of the olderst active demoscener!
I dispute your research, Okkie! That's an unidentified man! https://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=386422

yeah, if even those ugly effects you coded in quickbasic as a 8yo count then we're all 25+ years active
if you were using quickbasic when you were 8years old that only means one thing: you are a noob =)
@Okkie: I saw that guy in Starbucks the other day. No way he's over 30.
Been around since 1995 (first bbstro release). Accomplished astonishingly little in those 21 years, except trash talk, wearing Afro wigs and being accused of homophobia ;)

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Steve Dompier's "A Fool on The Hill" Altair program used software loops to generate music via radio wave interference. You had to tune an AM radio to an unused channel to hear the music.
check what MIT havkers made before: SnowFlake and other display hacks. But it doesn't relate to demoscene.

Let the records show that truck was thinking about making a demo at the time when the british boats were arriving to the new world
Who might be the oldest looking? ^^
In some ways, maybe the original hackers from MIT, doing what's called display hacks

and how many scrollers have they read, expressed in kilometers of screen space
Next question: Who ist the demoscener with the most prods (aka Code/Music/Graphics)?
Maybe Virgill?

C64 musician Rob Hubbard is 69 or 70, if you can call him a scener.

Pouet feature request: Make number of prods a sortable column in the user list. :)

Would be my guess as well. He overtook Britelite recently.
Time to retire 😅
Not if you don't want Britelite to catch up. 😉
Gary is probably too young. But what about Paula, Denise and Agnus?

I think it's a matter of definition. Do standalone pictures count? JSL has around 900 graphics credits listed on CSDb.Next question: Who ist the demoscener with the most prods (aka Code/Music/Graphics)?
Hippel has the longest list in Demozoo iirc. But of course that doesn't mean a thing with actual single productions.
