In my infinite boredom, i was trying to figure out who the first member of the board was.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=2
thats Lynn Bodoni… but…
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=1
comes up an error message… so whats the deal?
It seems it was Tubadiva:
http://207.97.195.229/sdmb/showpost.php?p=3045137&postcount=7
I was not only the first person to sign on to the board . . . but also the first to have a corrupted database entry. Go figure.

A dubious honor at best.
Prior to jdavis’s troubleshooting, the database simply could not accommodate your pristine, stainless character! 
I dunno about that, but as long as I’m first in your hearts, the rest of it doesn’t matter. 
your humble TubaDiva
Always, Tuba!
Stop worrying, you’ll be in as soon as PayPal processes. Relax already.

Seems people from Toronto are paranoid. Here at the home of feral cats living at the seat of government, we’re much mere laid back
D’oh! more laid back. I previewed too.
I am not paranoid. 
And geez, can’t a girl compliment a Mod anymore? Sheeesh. :rolleyes: 
TubaDiva: Number 32 on the charts, but number one in our hearts.
