Will anything special happen on this forum's 10 year anniversary?

EDIT: Pretty sure there were 2 nukes. UBB to vBulletin in 2001 and another to reset vBulletin in Oct 2002.

March 2001 was the first one. IIRC one was something of an 'emergency' reset whereas the other was planned, I could be wrong though.

I remember it took me about a week to re-register in 2002 because it wouldn't accept the email addresses I was using, free ones like Hotmail, Barrysworld(?) etc were banned. Shows how times have changed, I was fairly content to go a week without posting back then... :)

Nah, he was a pre 2002'er as well. I could have stolen his name (As I was one of the first to re-register) but didn't.

Awww! I must have been thinking of someone else who was afflicted so, in that case.

Not quite as long ago as you guys, but it goes to show how long it's been since I registered because when I did, Gmail was so new that it was accepted :D

Gmail was accepted when I signed up so I'm guessing they never banned it.
 
Back in 2005 it wouldn't accept my hotmail address, which was a pain in the bottom.

I remember registration being closed for ages, i tryed to join the forum for about 2 months.
 
Registration was closed due to the server load, UBB board had to be reset every Monday for about three months before the eventual emergency database crash that led up to the big nuke. I remember the days of old on here clocking my slot a athlon from 650mhz up to 800mhz with a heatsink bigger than most itx motherboards! And two delta screamer 60mm fans!!
