What was the first thread on AT?

[Whitecloak]

any ideas?

 

[jackywebdesign]

uhh... my guess is it's Anand announcing the forums?

 

[Whitecloak]

would it be possible to get a peep at it? or are really old messages trashed .

 

[TripleJ]

All threads from a couple of months ago were trashed because the server stuffed up, but someone might have it stored away somewhere.

yeah, someone who can't get out of the house and has no social life, maybe.

wait... I have it around here somewhere...

It was on another BBS before FuseTalk. But, I wasn't here. Some old folks will come into this thread with &quot;Elite&quot; under their Nic saying how great the old days were. How great the debates were. And how the Forum has degenerated to us simple folk. Hold on, you'll see them.

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

and they were probably lying

 

[MrCodeDude]

Probably a test post by the person who set up the Anandtech Forums.

[pulpp]

[NikPreviousAcct]

[Whitecloak]

[Edski]

butter

 

[Viper22]

The &quot;butter&quot; thread from the UBB Forums before fusetalk ever came around was a damn classic.

The old days were great. The debates were great. The Forum has degenerated in to simple folk.

Russ, NCNE

 

[RossMAN]

and what's wrong with simple folk?

 

[Edski]

The old forums where a lot better....not the design, but the group of people that were around at the time. Not that people today suck or anything like that...it was just more personel then. The analogy that best fits it is like when you and a few of your friends find an out of the way fishing hole that no one knows about. You spend all summer fishing to your hearts content....but when you come back the next summer you find that 50,000 others have found your fishing hole.

Paaaarkaaaay!

RossMAN,

I don't know. Ask Hamburgerpimp.

Russ, NCNE

 

[RossMAN]

LMAO @ Russ, thanks for the laugh.

 

[jaydee]

I don't know about the first, but butter was pretty old, not to mention so freaking long...

One of the first in ATOT was probably a religious discussion between Harvey and Netopia. It was probably the second after the one by the administator telling them to stop cluttering up general hardware with them.

I was still new then and that was quite a long time ago. Someone please correct me if I have that or the names wrong.
