T O P I C R E V I E WTykeanautI apologise if I should know this or it is mentioned somewhere and I haven't seen it. But when did this fantastic forum begin please?Over the few years I have been a member it's been a truly fantastic way of chatting with like-minded people all over the world. Robert PearlmancollectSPACE debuted July 20, 1999, on the same day as the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11 and, by coincidence, the same day that Space.com came online, too.You can read about some of the history of this site as part of its Wikipedia entry...PhilipYep and "in the beginning" you didn't have to register if I recall correctly...Robert PearlmanRegistration was always required to post. The first members date to the first day the forums opened in November 1999.garymilgromNEATO that you are in Wikipedia Robert. Congratulations!Rob JoynerRobert, is there a way to tell in which order members registered? This has the makings of a unique cS lapel pin idea. You, of course, would be designated "cS1"!Robert PearlmanThere is, and there's been long time plans for "first 100" group pins... PhilipThe number of posts might give an indication about the time one has been cS forum member. That pin is a great idea...collectSPACE.com how it used to be; try the WayBackMachine.TykeanautAs I posted awhile ago, it would be nice if we could all purchase pins. Maybe gold coloured for the 'first 100' and silver for the rest of us? MarylandSpaceCount me as one of the first 100 "lurkers."MarylandSpaceAlso, what about a black 3" jacket patch for our jackets?GACspaceguy quote:Originally posted by MarylandSpace:Count me as one of the first 100 "lurkers."Mee too, I have been here from the start.tegwilymSame day as Space.com. I forgot about that site! sts205cdrI still have my space.com t-shirt that I got when I joined, along with a short-lived subscription to Ad Astra. I'd pretty much forgotten about the site, too...music_spaceYeah, I just returned to the space.com after months of neglect.
