Anyone know the dates of operation for the old Roundtable board at THR?

[mtnbkr]

When exactly did it start?

Chris

[K Frame]

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe...

[Nick1911]

Why do you want to know?

If we told you, we would have to beat you with a rubber hose.

(sigh)

Alrighty then.

He'd probably enjoy it.  Some folks pay for that sort of treatment.

Just trying to determine if Mike was around when RT was in existence there.  I'm quite sure he was, but he says no.

RT started in 2002 if I remember correctly. Mike wasn't even born then.

That early?  I was thinking 2003.

But it's possible that you're looking at May, 2004.

That's my bid.

That's what I remember, as well, as the starting point for Round Table.

That was two months after I was gone.

I'm rather sure it's Jan 06, 2003.

[ArfinGreebly]

Google brings me archival information that shows an "off-topic" general discussion forum was still being requested in January 2004.

By August 2004 the RoundTable had been tried and abandoned.

Members' inability to remain civil cited as primary cause.

I will see if I can nail an "earliest" RoundTable post.

I may have to use the WayBack machine.

[Oleg Volk]

Arfin,

You may be able to access the RT archive on thehighroad.us

[Tuco]

Try the WayBack Machine at www.archive.org ?

[Nick1911]

Arfin,

You may be able to access the RT archive on thehighroad.us

I couldn't, but maybe I don't know how to do so in the forum software.

Anyway, the info is still in the DB, and that places the first thread started in RT as January 06, 2003.

[Brad Johnson]

If we told you, we would have to beat you with a rubber hose chicken.

There.  Fixed it for you.

A rubber Fistful?

Mike was gone. I remember finding out that a member was a co-worker of the great Irwin and asking him to pass on my regards.

[K Frame]

Yeah, Josh.

He's retired now, and I think one of his kids should be ready to graduate from college soon.

[ArfinGreebly]

Best I can come up with is May 2004 to August 2004.

There is some archival traffic that mentions the RoundTable being "closed to posting" as late as early 2005, with the remark that the forum would be going away altogether in April 2005.

Some confusion there.  It looks like it may have been closed, re-opened, then closed again.

[mtnbkr]

It was that short-lived?  I thought it lasted well over a year.

PM sent.

[Larry Ashcraft]

Checking the archives...  I'm up to the end of 2003 and no mention of the RT yet.  I've got to go to the bank and head home, but I'll look some more this evening.

The RT was disappeared from public view on 4/10/2005, but that's all the info I can find so far.

I could make this simple and PM Mal H, but today's his birthday, so I won't.

[Larry Ashcraft]

OK, got it.

Round Table opened May 24, 2004 and disappeared April 10, 2005.
