So was I. The changeover occured in Oct. of 2001, if I'm not mistaken, and I could very well be.

It seems to me that you're right, as Tim Thompson's join date is Oct. 2001, and his is a poster the on the page ToSeek linked to.
(I just happened to notice that just now, and it's not worth going back a page to compare ToSeek's join date when I'm off to bed next. IIRC, though, ToSeek's date is also Oct. 2001.)

Yes, I believe that's right. Unfortunately, there wasn't any way to port over the messages from the previous system, though somehow we've managed to keep most of them through the more recent transitions.

Way back in 2001, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and played music on things called records.

Yeah, that's why I kinda, sorta, chuckle about reconstituting this board. Even though I wasn't a member back at that time.
