Woo-Hoo! I found my long-lost first posts!

Larry_OHF · 06-05-2006, 07:00 PM

For the longest time, I have wondered why I could not locate my first posts on Ironworks. I remembered joining back in September of 2000, but could not find any proof of that. I used to be known as simply larry from home and something like larry2 from my work PC.

Today, I have finally figured out why and where those posts are.

For some reason, the forum mixed my old login with another member's login that registered in 2004, and so my posts are labelled under this other guy's name.

Here is my very first post made on Ironworks, located in the BG Tales of the Sword Coast forum. See: CHAZMEL

And here is my second one, with Adhrael proving that he knew he was talking to "larry" and not Chazmel.

Happened to trip on them as I was searching for an unrelated topic.

Do you feel old now Larry, everyone else in those threads is unregisted now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

robertthebard · 06-05-2006, 08:44 PM

Way back then, you didn't have to register. I'm not sure which one would make me feel older. Larry, don't go looking for my old posts...

Memnoch · 06-05-2006, 09:38 PM

Well, after your effort Larry, I was inspired to check for mine. I knew I joined the blue board back in early November 2000, but I couldn't remember the original name I used before the first "crash". But a search turned up one of my first posts too!

Mem's first post

Looking at some of those other early posts is like a blast from the past eh - Glorick, Armisael, Rikard, Azrael, Petrarcus, Aspy, Tipsy, Jerome...and geez but our language was a bit rough as well...
