    Since I am on the lower end of the post count (meaning pretty much still a newb but advancing on the ladder), I would like to know on how did this website here and this forum get it's beginning and start? Who were the first members to join and if they are still around? I would assume Baldrick would know since he created this board and everything. I was always interested in hearing a little history on how things started....the first people who used to be here from the beginning and whether they are still here or not.

    So how about it?

    VTM

    EDIT: In addition to the above post, what was life here like back then, forums things like that (even though it was only about 4 years ago )
    I have the staff of power, now it's up to me to use it to its full potential to command my life and be successful.

    Adam, satstorm and zzyzzx were 3 of the first still active members with vitualis close behind. I was about the 700th member to join. Look here for complete member information.

    It started as www.flipbookwhileIhumassistance.com, then changed to www.scrollingthroughmypicturesplayingamidiaid.com, then (I think) www.animatedgifwithawavfileofmehummingamidisongsupport.com before going to www.vcdhep.com et al.

    Somewhere there is a summary of the history of the site. I saw it here a while back (maybe further back than I'm thinking but I've seen it). I remember seeing just a blank page with BIN, QUE and something else on it...

    This is how it was when I first came here, but I didn't join the forum for another year...

    It all came to Baldrick in a day dream. A voice said to him "If you built it, forum whores will come"

    How did you get that? I didn't know we could search for member names and just get the members. I thought we had to wade through all the posts

    I clicked the link given by Craig Tucker and sorted by descending "Username". This puts all members alphabetically. I then modified the URL to skip ahead a few hundred pages and found all Cobras.

    Easy!

    You can look alphabetically through the memberlist. I dont think there is a way of searching it though.

    Ahhh ...thanks.

    When the page comes up in the default (by join date) I noticed there are several users without a join date and they precede Baldrick. Were they part of the construction crew?

    Thats a glitch in the matrix.

    Actually Baldrick has explained this before, cant remember the exact reason, something to do with changing the forum boards I think, and some data was lost.
