SW First Post Thread
-
Since we're all reminiscing here, I thought I would go ahead and begin the thread.
go to your profile and click "Activity" -> "Contributions" -> scroll to the bottom -> click the last page -> scroll to the last post -> there you go.

I wish that I could find mine. We could write a script that searches for them, I guess.

Oh weird, is that really the first one? Does not seem possible. Because I was Datil just weeks later. This does not seem right. From other things that I researched, this just does not add up.

I wouldn't even know where to look for my first post, it's probably something incredibly stupid.

I heard something about a script that you wrote that helped you earn pepper points like really quick. It was legit, but after that, SW made some kind of rule that put an end to it. Sound familiar?

That was AFTER there were pepper points and that was never used with my account. That was years into the pepper system and was done to show that a new account that had never posted could make Mace in three hours, which it did.

There is the introduction of the pepper points. I was a Datil on the day that they were started and I was heavily involved in the discussions about the peppers before they were released (because I thought it was a horrible idea and tried to stop it.) I was already the top poster before the peppers were thought of, which is why I was brought in to talk about them. Which makes March 2nd seem way too early. That also does not look like a very likely first post. Maybe that is my first THREAD?

I attended SpiceCorps Houston for the famous meeting where everyone was wearing nametags with my name on them thanks to @dengelhardt as a joke about how much posting I did in July. So March 2nd isn't possible, I don't think.

I was the top poster of all time by a good margin by May, 2009.

Here's to a public display of n00bishness:

There is my first post.

Unfortunately I had my accounts merged in the wayback, and all it moved over was my badges, so my earliest listed post is 2010 despite having been a user since Beta. I suppose I could see if Google could help me out with that old account...

Mine:-

I think I was recommending Meraki... how far I've come.
-
That really was my first. So March 2nd, 2009. That's the first one. And I just found the real thread that started it all....

Found it. All that remains of that account that was "merged":

This has to be (not to took my own horn) the most famous post ever on Spiceworks. One day, I posted some very clearly needed corrections to misinformation on SW where people were attacking open source and @akp982 provided the challenge that took me from ~15 posts over every days to the top poster of all time in just a few weeks...

Ohh and not meaning to be bitchy but you have 18 contributions to spiceworks community I have how many?

His response also made no sense since I was the one saying that RoR and SQLite already worked on Linux, but he responded as if I had said the opposite.
But that was the gauntlet being thrown that caused me to be so active.
