That makes me feel better about 743 from November 2001.

We missed the 25th Anniversary? Or am I recalling that this was a sort of second generation of the board?
Hey, on the bright side, it should be well nigh unhackable since I'm pretty sure that means it was programmed in punch cards and running on a curiously snappy PDP-1. ;-)
(Still, backups. I'd even host a mirror.)

Third or fourth, even? I would be inclined to count from the old UP board, which I started lurking on in the latter half of 1997. Not sure how old it was at that point. Probably no more than a year, if that?

I actually found a version of that saved on my hard drive recently, but I was too lazy to go find it again before posting.

I pop in occasionally, for old times sake. Like today.

Same, but taking it relatively easy compared to before. My eldest is now only a few years off the age I was when I first discovered the original incarnation of Flare, so am spending more time at home.

I'm still kicking. Got a wife of sixteen years, two daughters 9 and 6, and an otherwise excellent life I couldn't possibly deserve. Slowly catching up on Prodigy and Lower Decks, love what I've seen so far. Picard was sadly meh, and Discovery couldn't hold my attention for twenty minutes. I'm hoping to get my kids into some form of Trek, they've just gotten old enough to enjoy Back to the Future, so there's hope!
