So, what was the very first thread here in SYM?
What date did GB start, and of you was the first to register?

frogus · Post by **frogus** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 10:04 am

I was the first member, and my first thread was called 'SYM - Looking Back'.

Frogus: Huh? It says registred: Jan 2002 at your name...

For a list of member by registed date, go here

As for the first thread, I have no idea.

Of the old timers, Kid 012943613046 seems to be the senior member who still haunts this place. (excluding Buck)

We used to have a member #, which was in order of registering.

As for the first thread, I have no idea.

Probably something like:

test test

filter test: <insert dirty language here>

a b c
this is green

But that's just pure speculation.

In the beginning SYM was barren and empty, with just Buck floating around.....then for some reason he said: Let there be Weasel! On the second day he said: Let there be Mr. Sleep! And so forth until the seventh day on which he rested on. Then little other SYM'ers started popping up everywhere...

KidD48941235713.3125a and Mr Sleep maybe senior, but Weasel usually knows those things, being Weasel.

I think the first *original* thread was "Thank you, Buck" or something like that for the new place to spam by...

Weasel (who else?).

I said original, because Buck moved some (well, many) non-BG2 related threads, such as Goody, Roleplaying in Athkatla, and Chrissy's object of desire from BG2 forum to here, unlike any other forum created later.

In the beginning was the word...and the word was "Let there be SPAM!"...

No worries,

In my wicked days, I might have thanked Buck for a new place to spam.

Now I have seen the light and thank Buck for a place where I can spread the light of Weasel.

(The Goddess of Wisdom, Minerva I believe might be correct about the *original* first thread.

)

Goddess of wisdom and war, the offspring of Zeus and Metis.

You did indeed and that was the first thread, I even recall saying "you should have called this Goody"

Old age and my wife have lead to my mind losing track Mr.Sleep.

Well youth and too much booze might have clouded my recollection but who is going to argue the point?

It didn't take long to do this - I just scrolled down and only looked at people with over 100 posts - the mark of a SYMer.

Also - I noticed a new member by the name of Mrs. Sleep!
