When was this forum founded?

The archives only date back to January 2008, but is this forum also so old?

So I guess it's older.
Oddly I don't see any regulars who joined before 2008.

I believe the site was trashed in 2007 and reborn in 2008.

I suspect there is something wrong with that profile. When Bjarne Stroustrup created C++, (s)he would have been 94. And 117 when (s)he joined the forum. I guess it was supposed to say 1989...

Was it still operated by twicker back then or did he take over since the 1999?

Wow that website is amazing!
You can even browse the old pages :D

The old forum was...weird lol.

[z05DSL3A]

and the same questions are still being asked. (!)

What are you trying to say, Grey?

[S6k9GNh0]

The old forum problem more resembled a mailing list.

This still confuses me. Isn't there anybody here who has been a member longer than I ?
^{or was that supposed to be "me"?}
