My first post (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1227). I joined because I wanted to ask a question about domain hosting.

My first thread (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1291) which got relatively popular with the regulars ;)

And we are talking about the vB boards not the pre-october 2000 boards.


It's ironic that I started out by asking about domain hosting and now I'm a domain host myself.lol

According to this forum, this was (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16) the first thread I posted in. But I can swear that it wasn't, that was like my 70th post...

And what's wrong with my 70th post on the 16th message? Perhaps I posted on like 69 other threads and posted on that after?

My first thread (http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8281)

I joined because I needed a web host with unlimited bandwidth. At that time, I did not know that unlimited bandwidth does not exist.

My second post was 2 months later, I didn't post a lot in my first 6 months.

I don't remember why I signed up, just for fun I guess.

I signed up because the new forum required it.

My first post was a question about mimicking Netscape's layers with something that would work in IE. I was never answered (I got a reply, but no answer). Oh, I also expressed my disgust for linear forums. I haven't done that in a while, maybe I should start again.

God, I hate linear forums.

Let's see, back when it used to be WebBBS I think my first post was actually commenting on the new message board software (I liked it but the design had a few kinks, they were eventually worked out), Back in wwwboard days, my first post, if I remember right, dealt something with an FWP. I don't remember which one or about what, exactly.

I wonder what my first post will be when the forum changes again.

Sorry for digging this up (kinda) but I've been away, and I am in NLC so I can do that... right? Anywho...

GC's first post at this forum... I think it's funny because it's like every thread he has ever been in.

http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4047

I joined because I was looking for freewebspace, and I am pretty sure my first post was something to do with that.

My first thread was a few months back asking for some tricky mysql help... http://freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4746

I joined ebcause after about 3 years of tech support at solution scripts (makes of homefree) and many more years of free hosting & paid hosting consulting jobs I figured I might as well try and help emerging and struggiling hsots and their users a bit....

It seems I joined in order to promote revamp.net for some reason? Or, as someone in that thread put it, I joined in order to be the "voice of reason" that "stands above the voice of obnoxious know-it-allness." :D

By the way, Coolin, note that I was right and revamp.net still exists. ;)
