I believe this is the first post - 06-20-2001, 07:05 PM.

13 members on the first day.

Yes, I have too much time on my hand right now.

HI!

(Just busy working 12-16 hour days here in Texas, and what little time I have on Head-Fi is in read-only mode. Want to read and post more, but until the schedule calms down a bit it won't be happening.)

Wow, I had completely forgotten that vBulletin look. Also very weird to see Head-Fi with only few subforums.

It seems I have been here all of my savings account, I mean life. But in reality not long.

Old school to me is Headwize.

I don't believe I'm old enough to be old school.

Wow...some old names.
When I joined head-fi, there were only few 5000+ thread members back then. Now it seems 10000+ thread are only few out there excluding Jahn. Hehehe.

Still lurking but not much of a poster these days, too many other things taking my time, half the time I start the post and then let it go since I don't want to spend the time to do it right...

In theory I suppose I'm "close" to old school... but I'd never think of myself that way! Head-fi was already up and spinning before I arrived...

Anyway, the only thing that has been hard about head-fi over the years has been the disappearance of some of the great oldies... kelly, outdoorsman etc.

Well, I'm old....and I work at a school... Old School!
