I've been here for a while but nowhere near the oldest, I'm sure. All you old farts check in here and lets see if we can smoke out the granddaddy of us all.

You could probably tell by their profile ID number.

I don't think so; I don't think they were loaded in in join date order when the new forums came online.
 
Your memory serves you well Nonaya. The oldest I can think of is Engineer...

I'm still here. But I wasn't around prior to the re-launch, in fact I was probably only vaguely aware the forums existed until the re-launch was on the front page.

I go for quality, not quantity, lol.
 
Might be Harvey?

I wasn't very thorough, but I tried looking for the lowest user ID I could find.

Jason Clark (writer of AT articles?) was 572, but last time he posted was 2007.
Harvey is user 574 with a join time of 10/9/1999 2:12:18 AM

On an unrelated note, Engineer's ID is 1337 😛

(Anand Lal Shimpi is 789)
 
Hmm. I was only around for maybe a few months before we switched to FT. I know there were people here well before that, but I don't know if any are still posting?
 
I lurked here in 1999. For some reason, I never wanted to register on any of the sites I frequented. Although I did have a 3 or 4 digit Slashdot ID. Lost the email address back in like 98, though, so that's gone.
 
I think I started posting with my real name and decided against it, and then opened a new account- it was so long ago I really don't remember anymore. I guess we're going by who has been posting consecutively, and so far in this thread it looks like Eli has us the trophy.
