				Questions from a n00b...
			 How old is this forum? Is there a sort of time period allotting how many threads are visible to members? It doesn't seem like all threads are visible. The numbers don't appear to add up. ---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ---------- Quote: 
 But I'd still like to know how old the forum is plzty! | |

| Asshole Administrator Location: Chicago | Well, all that you see goes back to the last crash in 2003.  We have roughly 2.5M threads since then.  If you take it back to the very beginning, I think it was '98 or '99, but it was centered around a video game clan and the stuff they were interested in.   You might want to check out the Hall of Fame for some very interesting stuff.

| Currently sour but formerly Dlishs Super Moderator Location: Australia/UAE | i'd also like to add that the more you contribute, the more access you get to this site. this place works on a tiered system, so the more valuable a member you become, the more 'goodies' that you get access to. dont fret...just post, and it will come
