I searched the archives for awhile, and I found the earliest post i could find, and it was on my old nickname U-421.. The nickname i used for the WPL also.

Obviously based on how i was talking, it seems like it goes further back. I was a member of WPL clear back around July 2001, a bit before SH2 was initially released.

I'm not the oldest member, but here's my oldest post that is still available:

Anybody remember the gorilla picture I made? It had the 11th flotilla emblem tattooed to it's shoulder. EZBoard era I presume. Spring/summer 2001 while waiting for SH2.

I'm certainly not the oldest member as I joined in 2005. I did nothing but lurk or was busy playing IL2 and did not hang here much. Then, low and behold in 2006, I start a thread and poll that would probably get locked in a New York minute these days:

I guess when I look at my profile and view all my posts, they don't go as far back as when I joined.

I joined back in 2003 (I can't believe it has been that long!). I had lurked around a bit before that when I got Jane's 688i Hunter-Killer. I remember downloading a patch for it off Subsim. Anywho, what got me to sign up and register was a contest for Dangerous Waters or SH3 I believe. I don't remember which sim it was (or maybe Sub Command). All I had to do was post in the thread to be entered for a chance to win the game and I think the devs would sign it. I probably got the contest bit all wrong by now, but that is the gist of it.
