It's been almost ten years? Wow.
I don't think I've been here since the beginning, but I know I first started coming here before
3E came out. At least long enough to recognize "C'mon August!" Though I think I first saw Henry's sig on one of the newsgroups.
[EDIT]This gave me the idea of trying to track down the birth of the site via newsgroup postings, which are forever archived. I have not found a source as of yet that mentions the site, but I did find this post:
Prescience!
[MORE EDIT]
This post lists a website on mailbag.com that is of course no longer there.
[EVEN MORE EDIT]I found this posting on
July 29th, 1999 that does not contain the Mailbag link. The first link I can find is on
August 22nd, 1999. I'll see if I can do a more complete search between those two dates tomorrow. Or, if someone wants to get really nostalgic, there you go.
[FINAL EDIT... I PROMISE]Well duh. I was reviewing the links, and the very first one I posted has the site listed on August 13th, 1999. That narrows it down to a couple of weeks.
And yet another word from our sponsors
