I tried to write down dates as they came at me, but I obviously missed a few big ones. And I totally forgot to keep notes when $incere tried to Scam us.. And there was one guy before that that AJ and his wife busted before $incere... Anyone remember his name? ENJOY!
what about me? mar 05 j/k I honestly haven't been frequenting this board as much as I honestly should. I really like the collectors better than the dealers for the most part. AJ knows where I am going with this.
Dak deserves way, way more than one line. He had everyone talking for weeks and weeks. Also the reason why AJ joined kept the board hopping for a couple weeks!
Aren't December 14 2004 and August 14th 2009 just a little contradictory? GDJMSP did not become admin until well after I joined. Sorry, but I cannot give you a specific date. 03-11-2005 RickieB joins. I will try for some more later,
Oh really? Interesting. He's been an admin since I started. Just assumed he's been an admin since year 1... Or even as early as 150 BC And they don't contradict. Aidans line says "thus far". Then BNB stole it when he joined.
No worries, neither can I. Nope, I was the first, and for a long time, only, Moderator for Coin Talk. It was much later when we had 7 Moderators that Peter hung that title around my neck. It's pretty much meaningless. Gonna getcha for that :hammer: edit - this really doesn't belong in Introductions, moving it to Coin Chat
Here are a couple more for you. 06-05-2007 GDJMSP became admin. Cannot find the announcement thread, but http://www.cointalk.com/t25676/. That should put you withing a day or so. 9-29-03 GDJMSP becomes cointalk's first moderator. http://www.cointalk.com/t464/ 12-04-2006 spock1k King of Hearts joined
How about: 06/08/08: http://www.cointalk.com/t38034/ Handsome Toad holds contest! 137 Post later, the winners are still waiting for their prizes! It is official, Treashunt is no longer waiting by the mail box!
Well I did join in 04 - seems like just yesterday, but I didn't become a Moderator till 3/05http://www.cointalk.com/t5766/ Looking back through that thread I found this comment by KLJ: The funny thing is that I did put down my CT Moderator work on my Resume! Thanks for bring these memories up Snaz - it has been a great ride along with everyone here and a big thanks to Peter, Doug and the other Mod's for putting up with me! Speedy
Oh yeah - we also have some other Moderators not listed there - The_Cave_Troll Zaneman and one retired Moderator - satootoko - better known as Roy. Maybe another highlight is when Zaneman got hired at PCGS, and then when he and Chris both got hired at Heritage. Speedy
