How many are there in the 17th Oct 2002 club?

Abyss · 24 Nov 2014 at 13:27

The "ultimate lurker" thread made me wonder if there are many people still about that have a joining date of the 17th October 2002 (the first day after the forums were reset).

There are some obvious people such as Gilly, [TW]Fox and Spie but just wondered if how many lesser known people are still active 12 years on...

Me...I think.

Basher · 24 Nov 2014 at 13:30

I was out on the 17th.

Rilot · 24 Nov 2014 at 13:32

I was a day late. Re-joined on the 18th.

Me too.

I doubt it will be too long before a significant proportion of the forums was born after the big nuke!

Going from the topics in GD, I assume this already happened

I was obviously asleep as 18th for me too.

All "lesser known" apparently

MagicBoy · 24 Nov 2014 at 14:04

I'm the 18th, seem to recall the nuke was the evening of the 17th. I'm #1219, so there must be less than that from the 17th,

Sure I asked/found out before, but what caused the nuke in 2002?

bledd · 24 Nov 2014 at 14:07

21st.

Me and Malt Vinegar went down to the public machines in Uni and signed back up. We didn't have internet in halls; criminal

I don't think it was anything dubious, just a time for a clear out, perhaps a version upgrade.

Hexus was hacked and had it's whole DB removed

(I think)

Feek · 24 Nov 2014 at 14:13

The database was badly corrupted. We'd been limping along for quite a while and it was finally time to blat everything and start again.

It's when we switched from the gun avatars (which I naturally preferred) to the gangsters and I believe the vBulletin version was updated as well.

ChrisB · 24 Nov 2014 at 14:15

Didn't rejoin until much later
