History of MR?

[Psycho graphic]

Is there a thread anywhere with the history of how MR got started? When, who, why?

 

[TimberTDI]

I was asking the same thing myself. I remember when MR only had a half a dozen members but everything after that is a blur.

I would be cool to see who the original members were. I see that Steven has been a member for a while. I do remeber it being much smaller and i have seen a ton of members come and go.

you can set your preferences to look at threads from the begining, the default is 100 days ago. go to your user cp / edit options and select show all threads. you can see the first post ever in the general discussion,
12/05/2002 10:35 pm. the member numbers are gone, but you can who were the first people to post.

There is something that we wrote up on how it started but it hasn't been posted yet. Should be up in the next couple of weeks.
