The Subsim Radio Room forums began in ~1998-99, with a Matt's CGI script forum. Unfortunately, all those threads are gone.

Then we switched to a hosted forum, EZBoard. Sniff, them's all gone, too.

Edit: the posts are gone but the Wayback Machine still lists the threads and forums here.

And around 2002 I got bold and setup a phpBB 1.4.4 forum, and we have most of the threads and discussions from then until now, progressing through phpBB 2.19 and the current vBulletin premier software.

Members come and go, but there are some who still post regularly here. Bill Nichols, John Channing, EAST, Deamon, XabbaRus, kilorocky, and others come to mind.

My challenge to you: if you have been posting here since way back, search the archives and post a link to your earliest post. If you want to claim time from the Matt's Script/EZBoard era. make a claim and post some recollections from that time, what you remember discussing, with whom, and what was the big deal at that time.

Post your memories, claims, and flat out lies here.

The winner will receive a Subsim Ping Prize, which you can brag about or sell on ebay and then retire.

Good hunting!
