Flashback time.... Your first post?

[Hooked Newbie]

Not sure why, but I decided to look back at my first post. OMG, I was soooo clueless. A big (and ongoing) thanks goes out to those that have helped me over the last year or so. Of note, the "29" I started with is actually a 20 and I've added 14 tanks since (4 more starting up next week). All hail AC! :D

So what was your first post? How much have you learned? How have the folks here helped you to improve in the hobby? Etc... Feel free to ramble as I just have. ;)

[cam191919]

first post or first thread?

[Hooked Newbie]

Whichever. I chose first thread because I found it rather enlightening personally as far as how much the folks here have taught me. I almost wanted to post in it to flame myself!

[Rbishop]

hmmmm...my second post..

FW Testing Kits
I am getting back into the world of aquariums after a few years away from the hobby. As I have been shopping, I do not notice the "dry-tab" testing kits being available. Have they gone away, replaced by strip or liquid testing only?

[Slappy*McFish]

I can't remember and there is no record of it that I know of.

[jpappy789]

I came to AC with a little experience/knowledge about the basics already so my first thread is boring...

[irishspy]

My first post was in 2002, when I thought I was getting back into aquaria, only to have a grumpy apartment manager say "no." I wonder if that's in the archives....

[Lady G]

OMG....I don't even think I want to see my first post...thread whatever, those POOR fish!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, I know it was about the coating on my columbian sharks skin...I knew NOTHING, had no clue...have learned so much since then and had so much help here...I wouldn't even know where to start with the thank yous!!!

BTW, how do I look for my first post?

[Lupin]

This is your first post, Lady G?

Click on your profiles and choose either posts or threads option. If you have more than 1000 posts, then stick with threads as the posts option is limited to 40 pages only which is enough for 1000 posts.

[Catpicklesdog]

My first post has been deleted!! It was in the article section about red slime algae which I was suffering from at the time (and how I found AC) I remember I commented on how much the tank looked like mine!

[Hooked Newbie]

OK.... I take full credit for Cam welcoming Lupin to the site. :rofl:

[legendaryfrog]

Hahaha, my first post wasnt even made by me. I originally got into this site because I hired my nephew to help me stock my parent's new 150g tank by asking online. First hundred-something posts were actually his.

Days later, I stumbled onto here accidently, only to find I had an account already set up.

[Kashta]

Well, I haven't been here for long, yet. I'll have to wait a while to laugh at how idiotic I am at the moment.

Lmao.

I vote to have a hundred-something post to be deducted from his account.

First thread besides the introduction thread

[Lady G]

LMAO!!! Hey, I just noticed they had my thread moved...there is no way I posted that in BW section, I never even heard of it then...LMAO, and that is way shortened too. We went through the whole..your tank is way overstocked, you need to get rid of the Columbians, the balas, and the irredecent sharks, OMG...yeah I was a complete newb and knew nothing LMAO!!! Hey, it was suppose to be my sons tank, not mine:headshake2:

My first thread was a lame intro, 'I'm a computer geek... I like shrimp... blah blah blah."

It is funny that over 90% of all of my posts are in the Freshwater Invertebrates section. If it weren't for my shrimp sales thread, and Mafia, it would be 100%. :D

[Sploke]

My first post was a thread, and by that time I had already made most of the dumb mistakes so its not so bad lol.

I did that Doll, but It only goes back to 11/02...not my 'actual' 1st post. A lot of posts were lost years ago when the forum 'switched over' or something. I can't remember.

[Dangerdoll]

ah.... I didn't even check the date of mine... I just know it's the first thread I created.... I couldn't find the first post I ever made, I can only assume it was pretty dorky.... but yes, there was some kind of thing that happened now that you mention it where a lot of things were lost.

[jm1212]

my first one was before neo took over. like a month before. (so yeah, i remember when there were flame wars)

"my posts" link doesnt go back far enough. i remember it though. i think it was about stocking (go figure) and the person tried stuffing a bunch of huge fish in their 20.

then again, my first thread was a disaster. yes, i was clueless too

but look at me now :D

(a little less clueless)

[wataugachicken]

oh, nice thread.

this is me reading over old stuff:

that was a good post. bump.
that was a good one too. bump.
oh, i made a great point there. bump.
