I thought that I asked this question in the last few days but I see nothing about the question. My question, once again, is what were the first few questions on this board and who were the authors? If this appeared before I apologize. I could not find the answer in the archives.

That record may not exist anymore. We had a lot of data destroyed about a year ago, and beyond that before this board was in it’s current web BBS format it existed as a board on AOL and that data may well be gone at this point.

Good Luck.
