I was browsing the Software/Hardware Forums and ran across this ...

I am not picking on this member in any way..I just want to know how he/she got such an old Join Date

Here's his first posts:

Odd though the join date is.

According to the posts in that thread it was DB crashes, Time travel, or everyone is imagining it.

It's funny how in that post the example given was BG-0's join date same as this thread.

BIG-O’s join date is 05-Jul-2008. These things just get ‘corrupted’ from time to time. It’s wonderful what computers can do.

The earliest join date I can find is 27-Nov-1998 for user ‘mucklehead’. The earliest join date for a member still actively posting is 02-Dec-1998 for user ‘angel’. System crashes and periodic major changes to the board software have caused some (much?) of this early data to be erratic, to say the least.

See http://www.techguy.org/history.html for Mike’s comments on the early days.

The oldest member here is John Will. He has been here since the dawn of Time.


As a matter of fact, I have a picture of John fixing the first computer bug::

I should really edit my join date... make it look like I've been around here the longest!

well, I havent done the math yet...I just finished reading your "Historical Notes" but if you do alter your join date, to make it look like your here the longest, than you better get busy at the Historical Facts page also, cause off the top of my head, based on when you started the TSG web site, and your age at that time, you must have been a time traveler in order to have joined in 1970..

Just remember not to make the date go back to a date before you was born.

[TechGuy]

Think that might be suspicious, hewee?

[bp936]

Is the question "FIRST" or "OLDEST"??
I am not the first but probably the oldest. from the Flintstone age.

[dotty999]

I may be the oldest! methinks cats were around long before then.

The impressive part is, I fixed that one when I was two years old!
