AudiogoN Inception Date?


Panning through old threads, I noticed a few members as early as late 98/early 99.

Emailed service a while back no answer, figured if anyone should know, they would.

When did all this start and who was the first poster(s)?

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.

Created: 1998-05-14

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.
