What Was Your First Post?

henry3k56 · 26th January 2002, 01:46

Ok, ok. Starting out at Winamp Forums was rough. After the grueling months (even years) to get yourself noticed here by fellow Winampers, what was your first post that you made that kept you coming back for more forum posting. Mainly this (I think) would be suited for people who have posted about 150 (probably more)posts or more and are considered popular around the forums, just because they post fun stuff, interesting stuff, helpful stuff, or just stupid (if you want to call it that). So share us your first posts, either by quoting it yourself, or linking it, how ever you wish. Heres mine after searching over 400 posts to find it, or just search for it by name. It'll also be helpful to explain what your thoughts are now about your first post.

I still think that Tripod is the best, Angelfire now sucks, and Geocities is plain terrible. They got too Yahoo'ey with Yahoo!. Angelfire got TerraLycos Networked, and Tripod still is the best one out there yet for free webpages. Just that they all suck at linking my signature to here, so I use http://hometown.aol.com.

I honestly couldn't tell you, it was so long ago. It was either a tech help question or... something else.

i think it was something about computer viruses, but i'm not sure

My advice is to get another mp3 encoder like musicmatch jukebox that doesn't require you to pay for a stupid little coder.

is it very common for plug-ins to contain viruses (ie, one's for ripping from cds), or am i just being paranoid and again displaying my ignorance of all things electronic?

papadoc · 26th January 2002, 02:02

My first post was in Technical Support Newbies,
probably asking how to do something,
I can't exactly remember.
I looked but the search won't go back that far.
(or I'm not doing it right)
Anyway...DJ Egg was the first person I talked to.
And what a great friend he's turned out to be,
along with allot of others good people here.

rm' · 26th January 2002, 02:02

This is the earliest post that the search found by me. June 15 2000... heh... Tech Support. I highly doubt that it's my first post though.... I got my minidisc player well after I even had knowledge that Nullsoft had a forum. I bet that this is either the first post after my account got whacked by UBB, or the earliest post that hasn't been deleted from the DB.

n_ick2000 · 26th January 2002, 02:30

I remember my first post. It was about crystal pepsi in the old "red mountain dew" thread.

Mine was in a puzzle game last summer... grif was there, RM was there, sawg was there.... like a 50 page thread or something... something about riddles if I remember correctly...

Aeiri · 26th January 2002, 02:39

AHHHH I tried searching and I forgot, with that mess up in October with my E-mail, my register date was set to October 2001, all the search results come up with stuff AFTER October, they must have a thing that searches only within the dates they have been "registered".... (BTW: Thanks sawg again for that help in October

Alas, my first posts were in "Skin Love" circa July, 2000, where I stirred things up by reporting skin "rips" and generally being a pest.

Those posts have been archived or deleted now.

The earliest post I can find is this one:
