Can someone give me the date when we started this forum.
Thanks Bill W.
The transition from Yahoo?
Here's the Initial Yahoo date: http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=1.msg0#new (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=1.msg0#new)
Edit: I was way off.
I'm sure someone who was around then can give better info.
The transition to ForeForums seems to have been occurring in May, 2010, altho I thought it was a lot earlier than that. Test post.. (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9448.msg41955#msg41955)
My date seems to be 11-3-2003, I was here when this forum kicked off as a transition form the Old Yahoo group, I have no idea when I joined the Yahoo Group. I think I remember that I had to choose a new user name for here. I believe that dates earlier than this are dates that members joined the Yahoo group.
Been a good ride, wonder how many other groups last as long as this Yahoo/foreforums has ?

Not much earlier, but I joined April 27th 2010 and am fairly certain it was to this forum and not the Yahoo group. Could not deal with the clunkiness of Yahoo.
On edit: On further review I did join Yahoo first but I hated that format.
On April 19, 2010 Yahoo Group owner and moderator John Lang posted some thoughts on the group's future and asking if it was perhaps time to look at other site alternatives The Group's Future (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9349.0)
Our Rough draft "proof of concept" was April 27, 2010. This is the date we announced on the Yahoo Group that Steve had data mined the group posts and put the posts into this forum format. Very Rough Draft, SMF Yahoo Group posts mined (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9423.0)
Site went "live" for testing May 11, 2010. Board ready for testing (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=9506.0)
Announcement was made by the Yahoo Group moderators on June 30, 2010 that the Yahoo group would be closed and all new posts would be on Foreforums. The New Foreforum and Yahoo (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=10087.0)

Thanks everyone.

The start-up Steve and Michelle executed was excellent. Those were pretty exiting times to be able to post pictures right within the post.
OOOOOps Guess that 2003 date was the date I joined Yahoo. Been a long time and my memory is getting worse all the time.

b^.^d . . .and what a wonderful ride it is. Thanks Steve & Michelle.
I know it's technically "off topic," but this seems as if it's a good time to say how much I appreciate all of the effort that goes into maintaining this forum. It has been of enormous benefit to me, and I can't imagine not having access to all of the combined knowledge and experience that's available here!
