So how about it, fellow dopers? What was you first post? Mine was: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=79072](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=79072) And it was about a caving website that I thought was interesting. ---

Mine must have gotten destroyed when the boards crashed earlier this year. Someone started a thread with a title like ‘What are your secret single behaviors?’ Mine was that I pee in the sink. ---

Hmmm…I _thought_ my first post was about [gas tanks](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=14304), but, after searching, I see I started a thread in March of 2000 regarding the gameshow [Who wants to be a millionaire](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=13552). I even stated that it was my first post. Biff! Zap! Pow! ---

Mine was mostly to see if I could post properly – I popped into the “Comments on Cecil’s Columns” forum, and with respect to Cecil’s Column on the “Rule of Thumb.” IIIRC, I wrote: “I agree with Cecil.” [sub]Of course, I gave a reason too… [/sub] ---

It was a year ago…the board crashed or something and I had to re-register in March… I asked what I needed to know to have a happy and fufilling experience here at the SDMB…Rue and Canadian Sue were especially kind (thank guys!) then Crunchy Frog swooped in and I was introduced to the epic newbie threads. Highly recomended! ---

Mine was about finding a pile of crap in my frieght elevator at work but I don’t think I know how to post a link…(I am such a newbie loser). It did, however, include some classic **King Nifty** contributions. Such as: > [@](#): > > You are a liar! > [@](#): > > I demand a cite! etc. 😃 ---

The search function reveals that my first post is [right here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=226261#post226261) For bonus points it was also a thread killer. However, I think my real first post was a question in GQ that was lost in a hamster hiccup. ---
