What and when was your first messageboard post?

Summer 2001. I had been reading it for a while but was too scared to actually post anything. I thought I would sound stupid and felt like I was trespassing on the regulars' territory.

Funny thing is, those regulars who frequented the board back then have now mostly disappeared and I don't know whether to still feel like a 'new' fan or whether I have been promoted to an old 'un. Hmm.
