Late response due to being out of town – and without internet, much to my horror – but I’m here (or still here)(or here again)(or still here, s’more) now. Or something.
Dude, they told you you only got a tote bag? And then stiffed you on it?
…that’s cold.
I joined back in March 1999 (a transfer over from the AOL forum). But I lost my original joining date and post count when I changed usernames.
RJKUgly’s join date is 11 March 1999.
samclem’s join date is 15 August 1999.
Weird stuff, Maynard. It looks to be a time zone issue. When I set my time zone to Mountain Time, your join date shows as 3/11/99 at 22:00. When I go back to my regular Central Time, your join date shows in the system as 3/12/99 at 0:00.
VBulletin, at some point, must have rounded join times to an xx:00 format; a quick glance at various posters shows that they all have similar join times–albeit, very few on the edge like your account.
Basically, when it comes to 3/11 and 3/12, you’re a man of both worlds.
It’s definitely a time zone thing. A while back someone asked who was the last '99er or something similar. The answer depended on the time zone of who looked.
I wondered if it might be a time zone thing, but I didn’t know VB stored a time as well as date when the users joined.
My memory was I was out of town on business the first day the board opened to registration and I didn’t get signed until the next day. But maybe it was just very late the first day, just after midnight Chicago time.
So I’m a sort of a day-1-er.
Thanks people!
Splitter!
Yoohoo.
It’s odd. I mostly lurk, so if anyone were to look at my recent posts most of them would be related to this title.
I never got a tote bag. I’d really rather have a mug, though, if they get around to passing out gifts.
I’m still here.
I got mine, but it was full of coal.
My tote bag had a goat head in it…:eek:
I got the goat head, but it was in a Stop & Shop bag with a hole in it…
Mind if I ask what your username used to be?

I’m Spartacus! Well, a Charter Member anyway.
And I have a March 1999 join date too.
At least two of us…
Charter members of what?
A board that wouldn’t have us as charter members.
