The earliest of this forum's 53000+ posts date from 17th November 2002. I wasn't a member back then, but early posts like these suggest that it was a great improvement on its predecessor:

By 11th December, the forum had its first 1000 posts.
Today, in the era of video sharing websites and social media, many people would not look twice at an internet forum for nostalgia, fandom and community. Fortunately in our case, there are still plenty of people who find continuing value in being here.
I have made a point of posting here at least once a month since October 2003. I'm grateful for the countless interesting, thoughtful and hilarious posts I've read here. I look forward to the ones yet to come.
