My oldest message I could find is dated 7th September 2000. Unfortunatly many Messages from this area seem to be deleted.

Ok, here'e the FIRST POST from the Space Empires IV thread. August 2000.

Things I noticed...

Even back then, Richard couldn't spell, and Tim loved ribbing him about it.

Master Bellisarious is the first poster name I recognize that doesn't work for Shrapnel. He posted before he even registered. Hadrian is the first registerd poster in that thread I recognize.

And even way back them people were kvetching about the shipping costs to Canada.

Sheesh. Things never change do they?

And PvK's member number 18 is going to be tough to beat. Obviously he was a Shrapnel regular before Space Empires became part of the fold.

The only other "handle" I have posted under was "Sir Gryphin" but dropped the "Sir" out of respect for people from nations where that ment something.

An admirable gesture, but I wouldn't have worried too much - after all this forum is already bulging with self proffered Captains, Admirals and so on=-)

Do you think a knighthood means actually means something here in the UK then?

User number 3 is Mark Sterner, a guy who was around here in the early wargame days. He had 146 Posts and Last posted in July of 2000.

Actually he is still a regular on the cgOnline forums, just not here. He will be back once we get 82nd up and running

If one does not want to be found but yet partake in the fun, one assumes a disguise, otherwise, one would get barraged with questions, recommendations, etc, to the point it would no longer be enjoyable. Therefore, my theory is that all of MM & Shrapnel, including Aaron, are amongst us, at least at times.

just some ideas mac
