How long has Nonags been active? Jim, of course, is the one to provide those details. Several times in the past he has said 1995. I notice the WaPo quote (above) is from 1996.
A whois search of the dot com name shows it was registered in February of 1997 -- but back then you'll probably remember all the different Mirror sites. Does anyone miss dialup, and bandwidth usage?
The WayBack Machine (archive.org) started scanning this site in July of '97.
How long have YOU been a lifetime member of Nonags? If you're like me, you were probably gobbling up the freeware goodies long before you handed over your cash.
