# so...
what was the first ever post on the b3ta messageboard? I've looked in the archives but am not sure if I've found the right one.
Just out of curiosity!

# that was the one that someone
posted up a piccy of a while back, no?

I have vague memories of the board format suddenly changing a couple of days after I signed up, but I wasn't really watching that hard at the time.

# nah. the piccy was the front page blog
the message board was the code we nicked off the guy who wrote the popbitch board. (it looked like PB, but with different colours) then we changed our minds, and Cal wrote some new message board code. Exciting stuff huh?

# well rob
thank you! I didn't know there was a board before this one.
I was just kind of interested to see if the board had kind of evolved or changed, but from the earliest post I could see on the board, I can see that it has always been mentalist pictures and what not.
And yes, it is exciting stuff!
