AudiogoN Inception Date?

When Audiogon redid their system a few years ago, (remember
that debacle?) all of us that have been on here since around
the beginning, had all of our inception dates changed to
12/31/1969. Don't know why, but that's what happened.

I think that 12/31/1969 date is a bug from when the A'gon upgrade happened a couple of years ago. It appears on certain screens. When I looked up Rx8man in this section of Audiogon: Home > Learn > Member lookup the Active Since Date is:08-19-02

I found this from doing some searching. Can't verify it is true or not though.

I'm checking my birth records and savings account.

Here is an enduring thread from January 2001:

I've been a member since 12/01/01 and I know Audiogon was around for a while before then. Don't know the exact date but 1998 sounds reasonable. Maybe someone knowledgeable will pipe in.
