I think Fenway or buff are the indestructibles on this site. I have been here since September 6 1997.

For those who do not know why the start date is 2002 for the oldest memberships it is because for the longest time if a team sneezed the site would crash and the more seezes the longer tge site was off. So a complete reboot happened

For those who listen to tsn radio, Lowetide on tsn1260 was the OG mod on the oiler board.

Old farts appreciation thread! I'm glad I drifted in for this.

 

[HisIceness]

I've only been here 10 years but when I first joined, the main board was always a big fight between Flames and Oilers about which team and which city sucked the most. Fun stuff

 

[PanthersPens62]

I will be celebrating my 12th anniversary of joining this great community on March 7. It was a joy to be here in the good ole days of the Lady Advice thread & the good ole political wars.

Man those names take me back

The old twisty style version of this site lost all previous posts and history when they did the first upgrade, iicrc. But in terms of folks I remember from when I started coming here in the back half of the 90s, Gee Wally, Black Eye, empty netter, playmaker, and a few others were definitely on the Bruins section.

The oldest non administrative account is https://hfboards.mandatory.com/members/brent-burns-beard.2/

Assuming we're not counting the old old site anyway.

LOL.

I'd been checking prospect on Hockey's Future probably 15 - 20 years ago.
Only about 5 years ago did I realize there was a message board.

Burns was born in 1985. Assuming that account was originally created in 1996, Burns was in ~6th grade when someone started an account which would someday be named after his giant beard.

 

[Ceremony]

I'm going to assume @Brent Burns Beard changed their username before the last board software change, so their username history isn't logged.

Decided to log in for the first time in years, and of course I see this thread...

I'm certainly nowhere near the oldest 1% of members, but I remember lurking this board during elementary and highschool (early 2000s) and then I made this account the summer before first year/freshman year University in 2007. I rarely posted because I was so young and felt uncomfortable voicing my opinions (and luckily they don't show up in my history, they were mostly childish reactions during game day threads from what I remember.)

I posted 340 messages on one trip to the can.

I came on here officially in 2011, but I remember visiting the site way back in 2006. I was just really young and like @Kenobody said, was just too uncomfortable being that young sharing my opinions online.

Why did the Hockey Futures website shut down? It’s been years since I remember what the story was between the website and the forum boards.

I was the Crusher back in the 90s but hardly posted. The I didn't register here for a while after the transition. Was briefly Crusty the Clown then Legionnaire finally felt right.

I kinda laugh when they call us old or whatnot but I was 25 when I first registered. Time goes by so fast.

Also makes me giggle when some say they still won't be posting here before they hit "x" age. Yeah, you likely will because life slows down and it is an easy way to spend time at home with your SO and or children without having your time totally consumed.
