    Indeed, I believe I joined in the fall of 2004. The (old) "Coffee Room" was a spin off for all off-topic (non piano) content and I was in a boring job looking for some sort of interactive forum to pass the time, and the coffee room was it. I think my first thread was something dumb like "I will debate any liberal on any topic" or something and folks thought I was a sockpuppet at first, and I think Apple said "I'm scared", LOL. Oh I picked 89th since I thought Plays88Keys was a cool name, and I wanted something piano related.

    When did it move to zetaboards (TNCR), April 2005?

        @Klaus None. Just the bulk of early start dates. Jgoo opened the forum before but many came over on April 20.

        WTF is still using the same platform as the early days so you can see everyone’s join date.

          Made me think of the girl I was dating in WI at that time. She has a unique name so I googled her. Now she’s a nursing professor at the UW and is still pretty. I’ll have to email her to let her know I’m rich. I think that’s common courtesy.

                  Back before PW, you can find one or two around here who were on Usenet in the old RMMP'er Room.

                              Here's the only post I remember from my rmmp days. A guy named Michael Sayers used to prance around the forum being a dick and getting his shocked face on when people told him he was a dick.

                              news:1ea8ca04.0310...@posting.google.com...

                              Rmmp is a group of highly vulgar people, to whom any self-expression,
                              if it can be done, then by all means should be done (which includes
                              calling others "moron" and "idiot", rather than engage in a rational
                              discussion).

                              The whole group is like that, because of a handful of posters who've taken issue with you? That's a rather hateful thing to think, even if you were justified in your contempt for those specific posters.

                              Quite distinct from these persons, I do attach some
                              value to other human beings on the planet, and I do think a certain
                              decorum and responsibility for others should be maintained in how one proceeds.

                              Your posts are nothing but passive aggressive foppery. You intentionally set yourself up to be flamed, so you can pretend to absorb and respond as you think a martyr might. All of which is because you have rage issues
                              connected to social ostracization during your formative years.

                                Not that that's a bad thing.

                                But yeah, this Micheal = definite dick.

                                I have no other contribution to make to this thread, sadly. I was a late joiner, 2015. I think.

                                  During my Master's we extensively covered the material found in both the Southwick Codex' (ff. 4–93), named after its medieval home, and contains many references to braindead liberals. In the so-called 'Nowell Codex' (ff. 94–209), there contains a passage that roughly reads, "For trēowe, líberallesm ess məntall alemənt!" The meaning of the phrase was well-known to the society of the scribe, but has unfortunately been lost over time. Interesting of note, a similar notation exists as marginalia further in the manuscript, which reads, liberalls knowe naught schīte fore shīnolla!.

                                  Most scholars believe this notation was likely made by the same scribe.

                                        @Copper said in Happy anniversary TNCR:

                                        Can you say "people-year" to be more inclusive, please? Is that too much to ask?

                                          A line from Political Poetry, 1814-1867. Author unknown:

                                          You fuckers just complain of nasty Tweets
                                          When Trump dispatches Washington's morass;
                                          And then you cheer your Resident's deceits!
                                          You liberals are braindead. Kiss my ass.

                                          Please love yourself.
