    Feels good to have stuck with something for so long and to have actually enjoyed doing it and found even a small measure of success.
    Help me celebrate by tell us all how long you have been with HubPages and your greatest success during that time

        8 years! That is fantastic and a success of its own accord.

          In that case, would you agree that certain who are here for 8 to 10 years, and had not write a single article aqe count as success?

      I've been here for going on ten years. My successes are winning a Hubbie award and having one of my articles featured as article of the day.

    Congratulations on three years here, and may you celebrate many more. I have been here over eleven years and have over 500 articles. I’m not sure how to measure success, but I thank HubPages for giving me the platform to write and keep improving my work. Also to allow me to meet so many wonderful fellow writers who give me constant encouragement and inspiration.

      I think I measure success by how fulfilling I find something, and how much it enriches my life.

    I've only been here a little over 2 years.
    I have written over 500 pieces and look forward to more.
    I love the support I get from my Hubpages friends.
    It helps me to pursue my goals.

      Congratulations. I have been here over 3 years. During that time I have received advice, support and friendship from fellow hubbers. I was relieved to get through Boot Camp and I am just writing my 35th article.

      500 articles in 2 years, that is inspiring and makes me feel like I am lazy haha.
      HubPages does have a great group of people onboard, I only wish I had more time to participate on the forums.

    Congratulations on the milestone, Paddy! Great to know that you have enjoyed your time here on HubPages. I have been with HubPages two years going to three and am impressed with the community of Hubbers here.

    I am still a budding writer and I really appreciate the countless advise, support, and encouragement from some very good people here. The platform has really helped connect people and provided the opportunity for many of us to be creative in sharing our stories and even some personal experiences. This is truly a wonderful platform.

    To many more good years here with some of the best souls you can ever meet and all the best, Paddy!

    Congratulations! It does take months/years to get anywhere on HubPages, at least that's my experience!

    I believe I've been here since the end of 2010. I guess my best moment was reaching my first payout. Since then, earnings have grown and shrunk, grown and shrunk...but generally it's 2 steps forwards and one step back!

      What a lion-heart you are!

        Well, I've not been active all the time over the years. There have been long periods where I've not done much more than checked my stats.

        I mean, right now, I'm struggling to be super-active, that recent Google algo change was brutal. When you write 50+ new articles and your traffic levels end up lower than you started with, it's kind of demoralizing.

        Nowadays though, I think it's important to at least edit work regularly, even during periods when you don't produce much new.

          Yes, my topic is probably a touch over saturated, but I do enjoy writing about it when I get a chance.
          I don't see much in the way of payouts but I'm doing okay for having so few articles. I just like having a platform where I can do what I like and potentially be rewarded for it. It isn't really an income stream for me, more like beer money.
