LT's other thread got me thinking; I was originally registered WAY back, I think in 1999, two ARFCOM revisions back. If I'm not mistaken, on the first iteration. Is there anyway to find out when I FIRST registered with previous versions of the site? |
|
Ar15.com was the first thing I typed into the bar when I got online, just to see what would pop up. Had never heard of the site. About a year later I stumbled across the forums, these were the first I had ever seen but didn't register for a long time. Yes I was a slow starter on the internets & still a huge lurker  |
Hook us up with a link...inquiring minds want to know! |
What was your screen name on the old board? |
I checked, but didn't find it. To paraphrase from the old thread: Go to: www.archive.org/web/web.php In the search box, enter: www.forums.ar15.com/cgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=XXXXXXX Replace the X's at the end with your old screen name. Capitalization and punctuation counts. You may find that your old posts are cached, but your profile isn't. There are just over 11,000 pages you can access from the old board from one search I ran: web.archive.org/web/*sr_1nr_20000/http://forums.ar15.com/* If you don't remember your exact screen name, and you're a glutton for punishment, you can dig through the pages at each link and look for one of your old posts. |

I read an article article in SGN on arfcom in either 98 or 99 and spent some time lurking and tried to join the old board but I sucked at the interweb back then and couldnt get it to take I was going to use the handle 556_blaster, I wonder how my life would have been different had I used that name. |
Call the ATF, they'll Know...

Ran another search. I think this is the complete list of profiles that are cached from the old board. web.archive.org/web/*sr_1nr_1941/http://www.forums.ar15.com/cgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=* |
That's not nearly all of them. |
|
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, cause Iwas here since at least 99' if not longer, and I'm nowhere near being in that list. I was running searches for my profle on FalFiles too, I know for a fact I was a member over there back in 96/97, and I cant find squat. |
|
I joined (under another name which I can't remember) in 2000, wasn't very active. Got jumped by ammoman about something (posted a photo of my cat after a bath), quit posting and just lurked for a long time. I registered this account just to browse back when you had to be logged in to browse during periods of high traffic. |
No, that's not all of them, it's the only ones that are cached. |
