Well, sure! An easy feat for someone born in 1974 who has been a member since 1969! You can make numbers do anything!

Damn! What was this site like in 1969??

To read more about how this all grew into the power HTF that we know today...just go to http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/history.

Chris was an early subscriber to the newsletter...when it was still printed on "wide-rule" paper by hand. He was then born five years later!

Yeah, it's a screwup. Some of us who ported over through all the formats, from Delphi to the Delphi Forum Online and so on got screwed up dates when the conversions kept going on But I've been a proud member since late '95 is the earliest WinD script I can find of HTF.

*laugh* And in the early days of the forum, all that was mostly talked about were LD players and the like.

The most spirited debates involved things like Speaker Wire, why Turntables sounded better then CD, etc.

I'm just glad they don't combine total posts from all the boards I'm on

 

[Mike Frezon]

How about breaking-in speakers? THAT ever come up?!

 

[Chris]

Yeah, we went through that I actually broke out WinD last night to look at some of the posts. There are a few members from the old days I really wonder what happened to, because damn, they were some funny, good people. What's funny is how often things would come up in that lists that you'd NEVER post on a board like this today; people posted phone #s and asked another member to call them And, strangely enough, it happened, and flames would stop because the two had spoken in person. Just funny that way.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Makes sense, really. I often think that communications problems between members would often improve if there was a way for them to communicate away from the e-page.

I always think it would be a trip to attend a Scooterpalooza or some such localized event to meet up with some of the HTF membership. I have met two HTFers who live near me and my perspective when trading posts with them is vastly different than the individual preconceived notions I have about the others (life yourself!).

I hearby present you with one of Stan Lee's coveted no-prizes!

 

[Lee Scoggins]

No problem. I'll accept a no-prize.

Better yet Justin, send me the MoFi releases for the past 2 months. I still don't have the McCoy Tyner SACD.
