I've been wondering, what was the first EVER topic made on this forum? It's no use looking on the last page - people bumped those.

Well there was the old old OLD OOOLLDDD ass forums for the older Blocklands (before V8) but those were removed.
Like before it went Retail.

I tried looking at The Wayback Machine's oldest version of the site in August of 2008...but something doesn't seem right. I joined in May of 2008 and I don't remember the forums looking like that, with the sections now grouped into Off Topic split up and everything so devoid of life. Or do I just have a bad memory?

Edit: I mean, I guess I didn't start using the forums for anything other than help until mid-September, but still

I remember this layout, barely. But the devoid of life thing is probably due to all forums marked as read since the wayback machine only lets you view as a guest.

I meant because almost every thread seems to have 1-2 pages and there are just over 7,000 registered members

Sounds about right. My profile number is 7993 and the profile number is higher than the registered number.

TIL profile numbers go in order by registration date

No idea how I didn't know that

I remember something about the really old forums having all the posts deleted due to some memory leak or something
so I guess the true first topic will never be found
