"I'll jump in first"

.....was the title of the first real thread on this forum, and was started by none other than our very own Chumbucket. *He took the time to tell us about his new V-20. *

I almost made a post to that thread to bring it back to the top, but then thought to leave the integrity of the thread as it was...and leave it at its place as the oldest thread.

Did a litttle digging around and its neat to see some of the original members :), and those who appear to be gone :( *It's hard to believe that we've been posting here for almost 4 years.

Todays trivia question....Who was the first member?

REEL ?

Nah, it took RAP 6 months to find us, or maybe 6 months before he was let in. He's made up for it since then ;D

Aside from BigShrimpin aka; Forum Administrator? Probably either MJ or Tim's buddy Trayder. Trayder runs the classicseacraft.com site.
I'm pretty sure MJ signed up before me by a day or so, but I jumped in first on the posting. ;) ;D Been a fun ride.

Well, I'll put an end to my own game I guess. I knew that I was in on the beginning, but it appears that I may have been the first to register. I remember talking about the new board w/ Tim through THT. I was poking around tonight and found that I may have been first.

I knew you signed on very early, but didn't realize. Looks like you win again Air. You lucky bastage. ;D ;)
I think THT brought most of us together at least in the beginning. Although at the time, I was also stalking Tim on the SeaCraft site as well. ;D

Wasn't looking to win anything, just killing time looking at some old posts and found some dates by accident. Still don't know how I registered 5 days before our "creator"?

THT did bring most of us together. Hard to believe it's been that long though ::) Goodness, we are all getting older. First board I was ever on has become Tidalfish. It was World Wide Angler, then Chesapeake Angler over the years.

Okay, you made me wonder how long I've been on this board. *So I looked it up and found that I joined 3 years ago today! *

congrats Pipe!!!

So Air? if you were the first then how come you only got 1000 or so posts? and the other guys got like 5000? Did you take a break from the site?
