Is June 2001 the earliest Join Date for RCMB?
I looked at a couple of threads and that was the earliest I could see. There were several of those posters.

When the board software changed, users had to reregister. So even if someone had been around before then, when they reregistered it shows June, 2001 date.

I don't remember how long I was here. It was definitely before 2001 though. Maybe Trevor knows my RCMB anniversary?

I've been around since '98. When we had to re-register, I lost my user name and had to choose another. Unfortunately, my previous user name has been forever sullied by an overabundance of ******tery on the part of the guy who stole it.
My current one has kinda grown on me over the years, anyway.

In 1996 we had about 250 new posts........a month.
Actually there was a page where users could post but I didn't initially give it out to new users until they established that they were MSU fans. My first goal for the site was to make it a "haven" of sorts for MSU fans, especially those who weren't from the mid-Michigan area.

I think I posted a few times at the old RCMB....
Then finally got around to re-registering to the new board a few months after the software change.

I'm pretty sure I initially joined this place back in the football season of 1997. Man, 11 freaking years of wasting time on the internets.
