Happy anniversary TNCR

[jon-nyc]

The forum is 17 years old today.

Crazy.

[Mik]

Wow. That is something. Not quite sure what, but something.

[brenda]

Oh my, the teen years. That explains a lot.

[George K]

We're old.

That's why you have me here, to liven it up, make it more youthful. No, not immature! I know you people and where you're headed.

[jodi]

I think my first post in the old, old format of the original piano forum was in 1999. A question about a restrung Mason and Hamlin. Crazy that we’ve known each other for so long.

For the most part, I'd like to think that this has made our lives more interesting, if not better.

@Aqua-Letifer and @89th were on the Piano World forums…

[89th]

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]

What was the Genesis post you used to determine this date?

[jon-nyc]

@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.

[jon-nyc]

@Horace Let her know you’re svelte and a joy to be around too.

[Klaus]

But who here was on RMMP back in the days? I was. Not frequently, though.

She thought so.

[Jolly]

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

That's 25 years. Or better.

I lurked and occasionally posted.
