I remember when the boards were just simple message boards; didn't require registration and then one day it went to this format. For some reason I thought I held out and didn't register a name for a long time but my date is 10/11/99 and yours is Oct 12 1999. I can't remember the exact day they went to the new board but my register date seems to be fairly early compared to others, I guess I registered either the day it changed or maybe the day after.

Even Atila's registration date is Oct 12, 1999 so maybe I did register on the first day of the new boards and his was 10/12 because he's in Europe.
