Who was the first?

Do people still go on the old version?

Not sure what you mean, this site is the only version of BYC currently online, I just linked a snapshot of what the old site looked like that was saved by web.archive.org.

Ok

And I was someone else before I took the speckledhen screen name, a play on my real name.

I saw just @ivan3 there. Anyone know what happened to him?

When did you join the pre-Rob site?

 

[CarpCharacin]

I was looking at the old site on web.archive.org, and I think the pre-Rob site was hosted on a free forum host called ezboard, which became Yuku, and then Tapatalk groups, but I think all of the really old posts were automatically deleted. It is still online here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/backyardchickens/

When did you join the pre-Rob site?

Maybe a month or so after it started up? It was Feb 3 after the startup.

Long time then.

@casportpony I think I misunderstood your question. Did you ask when I joined the one b4 this one? I think it was in 2005 that I first joined that one, before I got chickens, when I was planning to have guineas only.

It IS hard to believe so much time has gone by! I remember reaching out to BYC in those very early days and being so glad to find that resource! And yeah so many of us are still here! Older and much wiser....I have made so many virtual friends in BYC and have met some in person. Amazing.
