What is the Oldest account on HFBoards?

[Bones Malone]

I think Fenway or buff are the indestructibles on this site. I have been here since September 6 1997.

For those who do not know why the start date is 2002 for the oldest memberships it is because for the longest time if a team sneezed the site would crash and the more seezes the longer tge site was off. So a complete reboot happened

For those who listen to tsn radio, Lowetide on tsn1260 was the OG mod on the oiler board.

Glad to see nothing has changed in 25 years

I remember the old forum.

I don’t think I joined then, but I remember blue text, white or light colored background.

I don’t have gray hair yet, so there’s that.

I'm a refugee from the old bb.com board, a/k/a the wild west lol. That place was a zoo.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I've been around since about late 97 or early 98. Something like that.

   You've been on HF for 20 years!

Guess it has to do with when the site was updated.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I was a lurker for a few years before I decided to make an account and post but its neat to see some of the golden oldies post

 

[Chaos2k7]

2003 for me but lurked for a few years before posting, pretty sure I found the original hockey's future website through slam.ca

Lol, good times my guys.

 

[Stealth JD]

Easily 20 years. I remember closely following the prospect reports from '98, but don't think i stopped lurking and starting posting until a few years later. May have had a previous incarnation of my ID back in the early, early years ('02/'03). Stopped getting banned a few years later. lol

when it was a thing, i was the king of the arcade...had more first place records than anyone!

Kids.

Is there a prize for the lowest number of posts by longest tenure?

 

[Byrral]

I can't get back to the early 2000s and I don't post much but I do read almost daily. Great site.

 

[HabsAddict]

I was here as Yoda well pre 2000 then as HabsAddict a year later.

That would be around 1997 or 1998? Left because it was the wild west back then and found quieter place to post.

One thing i do remember is they showed peoples IP and that was a no-no to me. But after a while they stopped that.

Does anyone know the actual age of this site?

Pre covid i would win hands down. Post covid, tons of post on....covid.

 

[HabsAddict]

HF began in ‘97.
Ive been here since January’98.

Soooo....out of shear dumb couriosity, is there a record of old posters? Look for Yoda. It could of been....1997.

I think you and i go way back but i can't remember a damn thing about who i interacted with.

no list in existence that I know of.
What I distinctly remember though is the night we shutdown the old format the last two on line was me and @chehabi .
He had a few months senority on me. So we agreed he get very last post.
He did.
Then fade to black.
This new format was then born a few hours later.
