You mean the internet or Pelican?

August 1998. As I recall, the board was around 6 months old. I started using my name as my user name. I could see the writing on the wall as far as that being a bad idea on the growing Internet, and changed to another name, lost that password a few years ago and started fresh again. Opposite from what I was in '98 and an Internet newbie, I'm big on Internet privacy now.

Here's a trivia question for other long-timers:


Back in the beginning ('98), the most popular forum with the most posting activity was __________________.

Gotcha by a few months.

Crazy to think how much has happened in my life since then:
Brought a wrecked 911 back to life.
Got married.
Got a doctorate, residency, and another masters degree.
Had two kids.
Spent 10 years in the Navy, lived in several places.
Finally settled back in Colorado.
Bought a practice.
Bought another practice.
Sold my 911, (to a fellow Pelican)
Bought another project car.
Still here.....

Sorry was replying to MAS.

Look at this bunch of losers with nothing better to do than post online.

I was on here before the swap over to this 'newer board' also. I think it was sometime in late '97 or early '98 as that is when I got my first 911. I was in between Pcars when it swapped over and rejoined in Nov. '00.

[Evans, Marv]

I'm amazed actually at how many have been here over 10 years. I was a young guy when I found this place. Now look at what happened to me.

[BlueSkyJaunte]

You lose.

I should have been more specific, I meant the most popular forum here on Pelican Parts in 1998.

In the beginning, one of the forums here had just about as much activity/posts as all the others combined.

(Hint: You should be able to guess this one!)

[Por_sha911]

That's "Mr. Knucklehead" to you sir.

[cstreit]

I dunno. Let's see

Edit: looks like I have you beat by 2 months Motion.

[fintstone]

You beat me...although I was lurking here for several months before signing in...as I figured I was too ignorant. Still ignorant, but lots of posts.
