June 2003, can you beat this?

**buckman341** · 11-05-2012, 18:09

Been a long time since I visited this site. Obviously interest for Diablo 3 has lured me back. Sadly I will be stuck deployed in SW Asia for the first month of release ;(

Anyways, who else has been around for a long time. Can anyone beat Just 2003?

That's about when the forum servers blew up, making it impossible for anyone to have a joined date preceding it, so no.

Other than admin cheating - *cough*Elly*cough* - there is indeed no way to have a join date preceding that, as June 2003 was the month of the Great Forum Crash. Everything was wiped clean, including the member base, so everyone joining before that had to make a new account. There are still quite a few members with June 2003, we tend to stick around for a while here.

I have a registration email from Oct of 1999 from this site, there were plenty here before me.

Huh, yeah. After the Great Crash, my old account name...whatever it was...didn't work anymore and I had to re-join with a new name. I'd say I was here from sometime in 2000 or so. Back then I mostly lurked and occasionally jabbed at Babin.

I got 2 E-mails from Flux <Flux@diabloii.net> in Jun 2002 and 1 from RPGForums.net /<Elly@diabloii.net> in Jan 2003 from Prior to the Crash.

Now If I could just Find My pants and Wallet.

Is this the thread where we figure out who has the longest member?

**BobCox2** · 12-05-2012, 07:37

I vote for Elly

It's like a drug. No matter how much you avoid it, and no matter how long you've been gone, you'll come back eventually... apparently to find the same threads still active.
