When did these messageboards get started and who has been a member the longest?

frankhardy

If you read my title, then you know my question.

Stingray

Dude has been around here for awhile I believe, somewhere around early 2001 I think is when this all started.

Alfiewt

I think these boards were launched sometime in 2001, but there was another messageboad here before the launch of the "new boards". I'm not sure who has been here the longest, but I think some people from the old boards are still around.

drewsef

lost my old username, but I have been around here since Feb. 2001, but was doing coins then and didn't really even know or pay attention to the sportscards forum

Davemri

Just posting to see how long I've been around.

bhelser

If you put your mouse over the user's profile icon, it tells you what profile ID they are

Profile 24954 here

I was a member of the "old" boards (coin ones) and came along with the transition.

frankhardy

31,349 posts? I think that's the most I've seen.

DaddyRich

Dang, how long have I been on these boards? I even forgot.

Coinhead was a Great guy! He died (I think) 2 years ago. Clw is still around. There is no way that someone today would be able to reach that amount of posts without the open forum.

the old Open Forum was a vacuum that sucked you in....a Hotel California of sorts...

frankhardy

I remember the Open Forum. I participated in a few debates. I see that alot of the high posters are into coins. They must get more action than the sports cards forum.

Wasn't Coinhead a Battlestar Gallactica fan??

and Stargate and of course, Jello w/Meg Ryan. (at least that's probably how he would have preferred it)

gameusedhoop

I guess that I got in earlier in the game than I thought. I was doing only game worn jerseys until 2001, then I finally decided that this grading thing might stick. Tried it, liked it, needed more!

Feb '01 for me. I'm one of the Old Crew.

ArnyVee

I started in early '03, but didn't get serious into posting/responding/etc until about a little less than 2 years ago.

The PSA Registry page is my home page for IE and I check the boards everytime I go onto the computer. (Nearly everyday)

stormsurge

I didn't know the open forum was cut - bummer - stuff got wild there on occasion lol

lawnmowerman

I was a member back in 1977. My user name was BootieTime and I even had the # 1 Emmitt set back then!

I really dont care if you dont believe me.

royalbrett

Does anyone have a joined date prior to 2001?

baseballjeff

I'll have to post to see when I joined.

What ever happened to Jay with Quality Cards?

BobaFett72

2001 was the official start of this forum,but there was a prior message board. i wonder how many carried over?

Treetop

I've never seen a start date for any CU member earlier than 2001

And February at that, that I seen.

Mefer

I am one of the old farts from February of 2001. I do not post much but like to remain mysterious.

Hey Mefer,

How is the Kiss card collection going?? I rarely see anything up on Ebay for sale. Always keeping an eye out to pick up a few of them.

BobS

Been here a while. Loved the open forum. That moon landing conspiracy thread was my favorite. Didn't it have like 10,000 replies or something?

jrinck

I joined around the 9/11 timeframe.

I'll be here 4 yrs in Jan - that's quite a bit of time.

I've seen them come and go in that time and have been an active participant.

I've definitely seen all kinds of stuff and have gotten in a few scrapes myself.

It can go from really interesting and fun - to ass numbingly boring - and all points between.

With respect to my hobby pursuits and enjoyment - I can't put a value on that time spent.

I've made some really good hobby friends and also some really good personal friendships also.

No matter what crap is happening outside and around this computer screen, I can always come here and get away from it all!

Oh boy April 2001!

JackWESQ

Wow, August 2002 for me. Can't believe it's been over five (5) years. But I didn't make my first post until January 12, 2004. Hmm. I guess I just read the boards early on.

/s/ JackWESQ

I think there used to be a link to the old boards content.

Anyone? Bueller?



I can't believe I have been here 3 years.

Everyone click on the "eyeglasses" icon next to the "Private Message" icon and see what your "average posts per day" is. Mine is 1.69.

April 2001...
I post every two weeks of so .... just like I bathe,... whether I need to or not.

BunchOBull

Apparently the longest standing member who still has an active account on the "new" forum is simply known by the ID "John." He was the 4th person to register for CU; 1, 2, and 3 have all suspended their accounts or had them suspended. mikeschmidt is the longest standing member who is a regular on the Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum at 69th registered.

I gotta believe Schmidty beat thegemintman and me only because we were too busy sniping them 64 Topps Giants way back when.
