Ah, first posts. Here's mine. Subject? Correct. Politics! hahahhaaha... I was asked "Had you been reading the cellar before you joined?" Uh, yeah. About five minutes.

and thanks xoxoxoBruce for your welcome!

I think I must have lurked for almost a year before I joined, then I didn't post until I was sure I wouldn't get flamed by dave. I don't remember my first post, but I know I was nervous about participating for a long time.

My nine-year anniversary doesn't come up until May. Evidently this was my first post.

I found my way here via slashdot. I spent months here only reading the IOTD before wandering around to the rest of the site.

Dunno how others did it, but I went to google and used

"site:cellar.org dar512"

Then set the search dates to somewhere around your join date. (On the left Show search tools>Custom Range>...)

Neat tip. I always wondered what my first post was.

It was in this thread.

I had been lurking for an unknown time, but long enough to want to contribute, because I sent an IotD to UT which he used in April 2003. I joined in July 2003. And my first post was September 2003.

Thank you, friend! :D That was a good IotD, I learned a lot.

Your welcome! You'll see at the bottom of the thread that I returned to the scene of the crime much later to throw in a comment.

Mine was in word association

I remember making a post about "the red headed league" and getting a pm from Wolf, so I'm not really sure.

I was bent out of shape about the right to keep and bear tomatoes, if I'm not mistaken.

I can't figure my first post [too lazy] but I think it was a vid in politics and immediately I was set upon as a spammer. :) I lurked here for years before posting.

When I searched google what comes up is Nirvana of course and then my self righteous bitch sub title. :D

My first post was also my first (and maybe only) IoTD contribution (Orangutans and Tigers).

It also contained my first movie quote.

Awww, Nirvana. I see I was nice to you in that first thread.

Really? Ms Meanie who drives everyone away? Who would've thunk?

I guess I can tell a goodie from a baddie. ;)

Welcome, Nirvana! :lol:

I can't find my first post. It only goes back 500. How'd you all do that?

Post #18 has the instructions. It's a special Google search.

Oh, thanks.

I can't get that search tool to do anything. It's clickable, but nothing happens.

I went to advanced search and I see no custom range spot.
