How old is NSC?

[Billy Whizzkid]

... and what was the first post? And while we on the subject ... what is the record number of posts by one person?

As you can see I am clearly bored at work.

Three million years.

The first post on NSC was in July 1924 by a very young Lord Bracknell enquiring about his JCL status. 1066gull made 23,680 posts over the course of 18 months in 2006/7.

Bozza posted a link earlier this afternoon and and I believe northstandchat.com has been around since 2001, may be wrong but he will know.

I think it started in 1996. It was definitely around in 1997 as it played a part in Fans Utd.

I'm sure Our Lord [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] could enlighten us as to some of the statistics, if he has any time for us

Yeah it must be pre 2001 - 9/11 and REMF obviously spring to mind. If it's 96/97 then surely a nod to the 15 year anniversary is imminent or has been missed?!

Was a couple of years earlier than that I think. I'd guess 93 or 94.

North Stand Chat was originally a CB Radio channel that evolved into an email discussion list and then the messageboard we enjoy today.

NSC started in 1997-ish, evolving from another site. "Went colour" in 2002 (I think) then moved to this version of the site in July 2003 hence that being the earliest reg-date

There were some notable incidents involved in the version changes, such as no longer being able to pretend to be another user when it moved off the original system, and "Turkeygate"...

such as no longer being able to pretend to be another user...

Christ - do you remember how tiresome that became. And people moan about NSC now.

My call sign in the late 90's on the original NSC was Barry Evans. I was using a Tiny computer!!!

NSC originally started on 'Womens Hour' on Radio 4.

NSC started in 1996 I believe and Gary Crittenden (Manx Seagull) ran it until Bozza took up the reins around 2001. It certainly went vBulletin well before July 2003 (I'd guess around late 2001?) because all history was definitely lost during that upgrade.

I remember Turkeygate blowing up but can't remember what actually happened.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Hear our jcl cries for a detailed lid blowing of this turkeygate of which it is you speak

It previous used .co.uk so the .com registration is not accurate.

Turkeygate = its documented in NSC Gold.
