Question..

Dr_Teeth

Hey, how many of the people who joined up in Feb '98 are still posting regularily? I'd love to see the list.

Teeth.

Moving to Feedback ...

Give me a definition of 'posting regularly' and I'll see what I can find out for you.

I am, only in Poker and Soccer though, pretty much. Oh and the odd abusive post in Feedback.

Say people who still have over 1.X amount of posts per day.
How does that work anyway? Is it the average from the start their registration, or does it reset every few months and start anew?

Cloud

Well, taking those with over 500 posts who have visited in the past six months and who originally registered in February 1998 gives 44:

• Blade
• bubbles
• ButcherOfNog
• Cloud
• Coyote
• damo
• DeVore
• Draco
• Dr_Teeth
• elexes
• FreaK_BrutheR
• gandalf
• Hecate
• Hobbes
• Jaden
• Kali
• Kegser
• Kharn
• Koopa
• LoLth
• Lucutus
• Maximilian
• MiCr0
• MindPhuck
• musician
• OSiriS
• Regi
• Rev Hellfire
• Ronin
• SheroN
• SickBoy
• Slaanesh
• Slosh
• Spoonman
• tHE vAGGABOND
• TinCool
• Trojan
• TwoShedsJackson
• Venom
• Verb
• Vexorg
• Von
• WhiteWashMan
• Zero

It is inexact but gives an idea. Increasing the post count to 2000 (more like 1 a day) drops the number by about half.

Ah, Redshift! I've been trying to remember that web archive url for months. Danke.

Beruthiel

Holy crap! Talk about a nostalgia blast from the past. The original black and gold scheme and all.

Somebodies going to get some positive rep when I have some more to give.

SantaHoe

LOL, the "Real Life" forum, forgot all about that.
Bring back UBB tbh

Maximilian

Last I remember Teeth, you wandered off to play Tribes, I think it was, while the rest of us were still playing Q2

now this is kinda scary... http://web.archive.org/web/20001004052019/http://www.boards.ie/

LOL - Anyone remember that muppet - nick was Jedi?

Redshift

It's a facinating to see how much boards has evolved over the years, Sometimes there are more members actually online these days that the total registered number back then. Actually it's amazing to see how the internet in general has changed in all that time the layouts and graphics on what are now major sites like Yahoo were so simple back then.

Dr_Teeth

Thanks very much Cloud!

tipperaryboy

Really don't know what's wrong with this link, but most of the images on the homepae won't wokr on my pc?

Also, the list DeVore put up was surprising.Would've though ecksor was registered way back since 98!

smoke.me.a.kipper

some of the images take ages to load, even on broadband. and some just dont load at all.

WhiteWashMan

yes, i remember when about 50 or 60 of us got together waaaaaaaay back when, and decided to invent a virus.

we called it DeVore.

we forgot to program in some sort of self destruct sequence.
we remembered to put one in the Suds virus though.

MUAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
