A favorite time has to be 92-96 as they really reached a peak there, as well as 08-11 as I was fortunate to see them live myself and it's still the best shows I've seen by any band.

I think I can subscribe to that.
2005/06 was when I really became a fan and around the release of Lost Highway I was starting to join fanboards. To be around when Jon regained his vocal confidence and all of a sudden the rarities came shooting onto the setlists was great. As was the 2010/11 tour. These times and the pbp threads here are what I remember so vividly. I probably watched videos up and down from the concerts like I had never done before and like I most likely won't do again. Not to mention that the summer of 2011 was something I'll always remember with stunning concerts (especially Mannheim and Dresden) and the meet-ups with many of the (former) board members here. Those were the days!
From mid-2013 onwards it's gotten harder and harder trying to cling on to what had once made this band stand out and be more special to me than any other band.
