The big nuke

It doesn't matter when YOU WERE THE 40TH MEMBER TO SIGN UP!!!!!11

/Cue a bunch of Dons, UBs and Ex-mods who were automatically registered trumping my sad achievement:rolleyes::p


IIRC I was the first non mod to sign up. I tried to make a thread about it at the time, but the forums got jammed up instantly after registration.

Somewhere on my HDD i had a screenshot of the forums with 0 posts.
 
I also remember people getting het up and threatening to leave because the forums were slightly the wrong shade of blue or a button had moved place or somthing.... although I think that still happens from time to time ;)

Heh aye, that happens when anything changes :p

I was here pre-nuke but was just a lurker and stayed that way until Feb 2004 when I obviously had something I needed to say :p
 
Can't believe this was 5 years ago now - bloody scary! I had to get Balddog to re-register an account for me as I was in the middle of nowhere in africa, hence by atrocious registration number. :o

I seem to remember a black forum, I wasn't really a poster or anything then though. Was this forum ever black?
 
Does anyone have a screenshot of the old VB and UBB colour schemes?

Earliest screengrab I've got is this - 26th July 2002

It's worrying that I've been on these forums for at least 1/4 of my life. I don't think I had been around for long before the big nuke, but I definitely was a member before it.

Aye, I think you must have been. As Nim is the user previous, and he was an Underboss at the time. Ah well, I tip my hat to you:D
 
I remember the nuke well, I was online the night it was due to come back on and I managed to get myself registered before it went back down briefly, hence my low user number (50). Was here at least a year pre-nuke as well. I seem to remember a race between myself and Bitboy to reach 500 posts, we both went from around 400 to 500 in the space of 2 hours. I think I won that race :D
