When did this site go live?
 

Was looking at my date of inception....I feel like Logan's World....anyways, when did this site go up? I think it was early '99.

Who are the first 10-100 posters...

I don't think the site allows for that type of search....

I'd like to know as well. I can't remember exactly, but I've been here since around 2002. Of course, I don't post nearly as often as some of you, so you'd never know it by my post count.

I believe it was early 1998.

It's been longer than you may think. Here is a picture of the PP computer nerve center when they went live...

Here's Wayne at the helm of the first PPOT server, when it went online.

Wayne joined in January of 95.

That internet wayback machine doesn't go back far enough.

This site def. did not exist in January 1995. (At least the public forums didn't).

I know it doesn't.... Still cool to see all those screenshots....

My years here and post count don't 'jive' either. I read 100+ posts for every one I make.

What's the oldest thread out there? This is the earliest I could find:

Yep, that's about the earliest. Early 1998.

Here's some trivia. The 911 Tech bd is the most popular, with almost 15X the number of posts as the 914 bd.

But, the 914 bd at one time was the most popular, by far, board here. It had for a long time double the posts of the 911 bd.

I have always wondered how may terabytes of data the board uses.

Interesting. Wayne beat me by five years.

I think i had an account that I created about five years before this one. I wish I could find it now... just think of all the extra credibility I would have!

For all you rookies out there, the site has had two inceptions. We were posting on here for a few years, and then Wayne changed the structure and everybody had to "resign" up sometime in 1999/2000. I seem to remember it @ 1996 or 97...

My first post at pelican was 11-23-1999 (under a different user name).

Ironically, it was Mikey who first told me about this site IIRC.

It might have gone live in 1998, but da party didn't start until January of 2008. Ya!

To commemorate that early thread, I'm going to go find a really, really old thread and bump it up for no reason whatsoever.

It's been long enough that I barely remember...

Except for me, McLovin and Campbell.....not any other posters from 99....anybody recall any other posters with 1999 join dates?

I do remember resigning up, forgot about that.
