Can I find my very first post?

[Alex]

I have this strange desire to find my very first post here on Apolyton , but I did a search and could only get a post from April 1999. I'm pretty sure it was not my first post, so I wonder: are the archives really complete?

[MarkG]

who said our archives are complete

[Dauphin]

Are any of the old old forums archived somewhere, be it online or offline? Forums such as the old CtP OT?

[Grrr]

The internet archives have them. web1.archive.org go to the waybackmachine and go apolyton.net. then view it as old as you want.

[Dauphin]

Not far enough. Doesn't have anything from when the forums where each seperate.

[Grrr]

So when were Apolyton CS forums founded?

Seriously...

Apolyton was founded on July 24, 1998. I bet the forums were made soon thereafter.

Umm, I found my first post and blushed in shame. But then I found a few not-so-bad posts of mine, too.

Well my first post was in August 98 sometime, on the old CtP forum.

I found my first post. Oh, the nostalgy...

I listed myself as a player to a SMAC PBEM game.
The game, Gecko, is *still* in progress, since 6.7. 2001, and is somewhere around MY 2202.

that doesn't work for me. i take one of the dates but then it takes me to a current version of the board

[devilmunchkin]

or it lets me on the previos format of the board but doesn't let me view the actual thread

Did you try searching your old username, making results at least 6 months old, and then having the results at ascending order? Worked for me.

[devilmunchkin]

does it matter where you search? should i do a search on that web, in the archives..or anywhere?
