Zeldar:
As a potential starting point in the search, try what appears to be the oldest post, based on “showpost” number.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2
There appears to be no p=1 post and p=3 is by TubaDiva even though it only shows as “Guest.”
Does anybody have the answer to “which post is the first to show an actual screen name besides “Guest””?
I think that was poster “whitetho.”
Or at least that’s what in the sig.
There may (and probably were) actual posts before then – we were not on vB to start with and IIRC we lost some posts in the transfer process to vB. This is what has survived. But geez, we’re talking 1999 here! A lot of blood under the bridge since then, yessiree.

Good catch! I didn’t look carefully enough.
Somebody ought to make a sig out of
“…just adding to the blood under the bridge.”
