What was it? What were they moaning about then? Is it still there? Also on a side note, because of the 500 post count limit, do some of the more veteran posters remember their first post? mike65, I'm looking at you ;)

I'm fast approaching No 3,000 and I know my first one was in December of the year I joined (2004). It was the 22nd according to my control panel.

I would have posted the minute I registered, as it would have seemed natural for me not to want to join a site unless I had something to say, and I'm thinking it would have had something to do with the Rock and Metal or Gigs forum.

Then again, it could have had something to do with Christmas....

I couldn't honestly tell you, but then, most of the posts I made in the 1,000 were limited to solely inside the Rock and Metal/Gigs and Events forums

The more observant of you will realise that he changed his name quite fast to Cloud

Hi,

I'm just new to this board but have a question some people might be able to help with.

I'm applying to the Army cadets this year (sent the form today) and I was just wondering if anyone on here has experience of the interviews, tests etc. that you have to do or if anyone has actually done the cadet training.

Any info at all is much appreciated.

cheers

Yes it does.

Change the thread id to 1

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1

*Awaits thanks*

Does that mean we have over 2 million threads since inception?

Also, what's the 500 post limit? I hadn't heard of that before.

When you search through your posts it will only pull up 500.

Panic's over though - I've found my first post.

Maybe try to make your next three posts interesting and on topic, and we'll celebrate your milestone but presently your nearly 500 posts of utter random rubbish is beginning to grate on me.

Quite hypocritical, because this post isn't exactly on topic either, it's also useless and utter rubbish.

He/she is just enjoying himself, and considering this is After Hours I can't see many people having an issue with him having a chat with someone in the thread, it's very rare that topics in here consist of posts soley on topic.

/Rant.

Wasn't the first Personal Issues post made by a guy called Adam whingeing about his missus and what she did with a snake and an apple, leading to them getting kicked out of their holiday-let by their god-awful landlord?

Please let that be true...

Loads.

As for the first post, it would exist in the Quake forum if it does exist. Posts have been lost before. Also the community at the time was a combination of the Cloud boards and Spinsol boards (Quake community), so to some the first post wouldn't of necessarily been on the boards.ie domain name.
