Had been on the AT forums before it crashed, then had to re-register on October 9, 1999, and been here ever since.

Who has the lowest member ID number here? Mine is # 709.

Yeah, I remember those days. I think I joined a day or two after the official transition. I was on the old forums for about a year I think. I don't even remember what name I went by though (it wasn't Descartes).

Time flies :(

Happy Birthday Fusetalk. :)

I remember the UBB days before the Mother of all Crashes took out the database. I could not reregister on the launch day because my Aopen AX6BC mobo was RMAed at the time and I was was three weeks without a computer (they finally stated it had been abused :confused: and would not replace it - I moved to Asus).

I just wonder what it might have been like around here the first few days before Anandtech Moderator joined on 10/12/1999... ;)

There was a pre-1999 AT, I bet Anand actually moderated it himself. :D

Harvey's is 574 and there aren't very many lower than that. They didn't start at 1.

And some people joined even before that, and had to re-register when the new FuseTalk software was rolled out 8 years ago.

Engineer's member ID is 1337! :p

Eight years of ignored bugs and feature requests. Fusetalk should be ashamed.

Also those that support continuing to use it

I actually thought they started at 500.....Could be....

Anand was on here a LOT back in '99 and '00. Had threads where he posted pics of his new cars, etc.....

Ah the good 0ld days.....

I think I joined 2000 and rejoined at 2002 with a new name.

I was 17 at the time. I grew up here. How weird.

Jason Clark (aka zuni) is 572, I bet he's the lowest.
