Mine says 10/12 but I been a member of AT forums going back to the board before it was fuse talk. I believe it was in late 1997. Didn't we activate these accounts. I remeber something different when they switched to this board is what may explain his date and mine as well.

When AT switched back in 1999 the was a huge database catastrophy and everyone that joined before that date was reset to 10/09/99 if you reactivated your account that day. I was a day late.

Also if you check, you can't find posts older than that date either.

It was more than that; we were previously using the Ultimate Bulletin Board package, and throughly beating the snot out of it due to the number of users and messages. Jason(Zuni) built Fusetalk since there wasn't anything good enough out there(at least in Anand's eyes), and it went live on October 9th, 1999. There was no good way to import the old forums in to this though(especially since the DB was in shambles), so it was decided that there was going to be a clean break, which resulted in this.
