What Year Was This Site Created?

Has it been around since the 90s?

Webmaster and Gatordev joined in 2000... and my guess is they were here at the beginning.

I honestly don't remember. Steve made the first iteration, and I think that was '99. I think he was a little behind me and a December '98 grad, so the timing would make sense, but I may be remembering incorrectly. Webmaster took it over and added me in after I got to Pensacola in early 2000.

Those of us oldsters will remember when it originally was just a blog. Then one day I visited and went “hey, now it’s a forum!”

Edit: First hit on the Wayback Machine is October 1999, but it’s just a “you don’t have Flash” error. First main page hit is November of 1999.

Wow! That is a long time...that was back when people used to say "World Wide Web".

Yes, this site is older than you are.

The visitor counter on the side bar says XXX "Visitors since April 10, 1999.

That's back in the day of Geocities and and Angelfire.

That's pretty cool. Not a lot of websites from the 90s that are still alive

Crazy indeed that this site has survived so long. That is a true testament to those who have maintained it this whole time.

We preferred ‘information superhighway’
