Would it be Alex? Just by default?

I think this is the first "live" post on WP: First post on WP?

19 June 2004

Judging by the little numbers on the links - http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp9.html#9

I expect this is post 9

Ah, I believe that for some reason or other, the first 8 posts were deleted. Maybe they were test posts.

I believe that is the earliest post still extant on the forum.

Thanks Grisha :)

This was back in 2004 before things happened in 2007.

I'd like to find myself a nice decent Aspie man about my age. I'd like to be in a relationship with someone who would understand my quirks.

Smiles :D

That's the same exact post as mine, except mine in numbered "6"- I supposed the earlier ones were "tests".

If you read the thread, you'll see that Alex says that WP has not even been officially launched yet, there can't be too many older than this one...

Was I on speed in 2004, or was I just hyper? 8O

The first post was indeed a test.

It has the topic heading though

"new topic test - **OLD Global Moderators OLD**"

Woah. That just hit me.

Welcome to WrongPlanet.net! Thank you very much for the congratulations. Dan and I have been, and still are, working very hard on this site. If you have the time, we would really appreciate it if you helped us by writing an article or a how-to guide that we could use in our "article" section. By the way, I am a 17 year old high school student from Charlottesville, Virginia. I will turn 18 in 8 days. I will let Dan introduce himself. By the way, if you were confused about the way the chatroom worked, don't worry, I was confused at first too. We will try to get it to function in the way that a standard chatroom does.


Alex was my age when he created WP? That's pretty sweet actually. If I spent as much time reading up on how to write HTML as I spend posting on WP, I could probably create my own AS forum website too.
