Happy Deathday to all!

***Mister Underhill*** · 09-08-2005, 02:41 PM

I just realized that I made my first post on the Downs on 5 September '00. That means I've been skulking amongst these mounds for five years Monday. Hard to believe!

It also means that HI's deathday can't be far behind, as we were "unborn" within a few days of each other, IIRC.

Well happy deathday to you Mister Underhill. Happy belated deathday to Meela and happy early deathday to HI.

Congrats, Underhillo! Your post made me curious and I went searching for my first post. I could not find anything earlier than about October, 2000, though I know I was posting before then. I recall my first post, which I think opened a new thread, and who replied (nastily). I think it may have been swept away in a Barrow-cleaning. If I recall, I first posted a day after I joined...

According to your profile, Mithadan, your join date was 7-12-2000. So happy (belated) 5th deathday!

Thank you for the Happy D-Day wishes, all.

Mith -- nice to have some direct conversation with you for the first time in quite a while! Fortunately my own welcome was much more gentle, thanks to the likes of you.

The join dates for older members aren't necessarily accurate -- I can't remember if they reflect the first post found in the database from the migration, or if they just take the stored "join date" from an earlier version of the forum. I know when we migrated from EZBoard to UBB, it was based on post date, but I'm not sure how UBB to vBulletin went.

As you surmise, Mith, your earliest post was likely either swept up in barrow cleaning or irretrievably lost during one of the many Great Corruptions of our UBB days.

I wish I knew when I joined (sometime in 2001 I believe). Where does it give an exact date? I only see month, year here.

And happy deathday, Mr. Underhill! Mine was more belated than the rest, but it got here eventually...
