I'm pretty sure I was around in 2002, but got banned once for some reason. This account says since 2004.

i started with "something"73, don't remember the name. also k10k and a few more. then newstoday and the jingle came on, qbn since 2002. pre 2000 the internet wasn't that "big", so it took one site or a few to find great info, inspiration and discussion around design and web development. later more sites appeared, spam took over most of the forums and here was the only place where something was still going on. even today, without https and vimeo (don't mention soundcloud!) support this is the most fun place i visit. and it is down to people, i think. all 20 of us with at least 4 usernames each :) still, most of the time i read things here or follow links that appear a day or two later on social networks or elsewhere. i mean where could i have whiteness brett*ashing live, hedge and more funny/bizarre stuff mixed with things i love. sometimes i send the link to people (designers and developers) and tell them how interesting this place is. nobody has yet understood what i'm talking about. a few times (drunk or stoned, usually i don't even try) i spoke about the specific language used here or some phrases, nothing. :) i seriously think this place is a big part of internet history if there is such a thing.

I love reading my posts back from 2003 and see what I was discussing. My site critiques, my flash screensavers, and Internet Explorer on Mac 9.x, etc.
Some pretty entertaining stuff. I would say about 90% of respondents have all left.

formed – I can only remember Surf Station and Aus INFront (think that's what it was called) being the best forums pre NewsToday. Can you recall any others? Klan123 was pretty good also.
- OMG aus INFront fuck i forgot about that. Design is kinky!????rabbit

Oldest member would probably predate qbn, and new today as well... I think when dreamless shut down a lot of people sort of ended up here... and what came before dreamless? Flasher.net?

I thought Newstoday was some weird news aggregator site... and was pissed of h73 or whatever it was had disappeared. Out of spite it took me a year or so before I joined NT. Mainly to thank transfatty for his deep space mayonnaise mixes.

QBN still won't reactivate my original account. Jan/Feb-ish 2002.
TDR forums before that.
