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

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?

Gotta love personal issues. I've had a few infractions there and a perma ban on another account I set up for a laugh
