Do it now. It's cool reading some of the first threads made on this board. A Chiefsplanet history lesson if you will. I don't think the names are always right, but back then it was sheik to sign your name to each post. You'll be able to figure it out.

Interesting. You're right based on the date stamp. I wonder why the software gave that one #497 and the one I posted #1. They are usually assigned sequentially.

You can't look at the lounge in the archives, you have to look at the archives in the archives.

HaHA! HERE's the real number one (marked as 450 for some reason). I didn't realize you could sort on the start time.

Is there any way to look up your very first post on the planet?

I really think we should pursue Priest Holmes when he becomes a UFA in 2001. The guy has always impressed me and I think he's undervalued by the Ravens. Also, I think this Waters kid we picked up is really gonna be something special on the offensive line in the future. He has great feet and hands, just needs some reps and more strength to compete in the trenches.

1) Mike Cloud. Here's a 1000 yard rusher, if they just give him the ball. Having about 40 receptions will be a plus.

That's some funny stuff. What a bunch of homers we are. Frank Moreu will be a Pro Bowler for sure. Sylvester Morris will be #1. LMAO

yeah, we can't fix that.. it is due to the switch from the UBB s/w I first used to the new stuff.. it hosed up the username/user# relationship

Yep. The new software has enough options to find it!


Go to Advanced Search.
Type in the username of the person you're interested in.
Sort results by "Last Posting Date" and "In Ascending Order."
Show results as Posts.


The only issue might be for some of you old fogies if the database has you linked to posts that aren't yours, but this is theoretically your first post, Spott:

You can get close at least...


Go to Advanced Search.

That'll get you the oldest post you have based on the last time the thread was posted on. Unfortunately, that won't cover threads that have kept going. For example, if your first post was in the "word association" thread, you'll never know from what I can tell.

Another issue for some of you old fogies might be the database corruption issue, but this is theoretically your first post:
