I don't know who is registered the longest, but I have Si beat by 4 days.
I was registered Nov. 6 1998. There were a lot of us registered in Nov. 1998

Diane...Actually your registration date shows as Jan.13 2000.
I believe Bruce's first meet in North Tonawanda was in 1997. It was my first meet and a huge eye opener as to what could be accomplished. I remember it as your first meet also.

I first got an internet connection in '96 and I'm sure this is one of the first sites I became interested in. There were quite a few here already. A local guy, Neil Woodgate, who used to stir up a little trouble here, first told me about it.

I don't know how you find such info, but I had a member number in the thirties, then something changed and I got a new number a couple years later. I have been enjoying this group for a long time and consider you all family.

Thanks for that link Si...I had forgotten about that listing page. Mine shows 5 May 1996 on that page.

Si, I could not get that link to work. Also, remember the original page of members profiles? and the first pages for the green button chat? I can't find any of that anymore either.

Then search for yourself, click on your shop name and your original profile will show up. That page is also located in the left panel as "Find a Letterhead". That info is from the original website before Steve updated this forum program in 1998.

I just did a search, on FIND A LETTERHEAD, for the following people. Since Barb & Steve started this site, I figured 1995 or 1996 as the latest. It has them listed as 3/18/1997
Dave Grundy. 5/5/96 Bruce Evans. 5/26/96 Si Allen. 7/18/96 Bruce Bowers. 8/18/96 Rick Sacks. 11/3/96 Barb & Steve Shortreed. 3/10/97 Diane & Ernie Balch. 4/24/97 Chuck Peterson. 9/5/99

So Dave Grundy is member 103. Who would be number one? Or maybe the Shortreeds started with number 101 as their first member and Dave was actually the third member.

I asked Steve about member "numbers" a long time ago. Maybe 20 years ago. At the time, he just said that the "numbers" were just randomly assigned. Or maybe it was based on close proximity to "letterhead.com" head office in Fergus Ontario Canada
Don...Si and I were online way before Gore came along!!! LOL

Dave, there once was a page here that was for the members to introduce themselves. It had the chat names and a brief bio. Do you still have a link to that page?

Dave, it was before that. I think it had a black background and was more associated with the chat than membership. There's a guy who's name I'm wanting to connect with that was on one of those profiles.

If I could remember his name I wouldn't be looking for that page. I think he called himself Lone Wolf or something like that on the chat. He lived down in the southern California desert.
