The oldest active Runboard?
I have a project which requires finding the oldest active message board here on Runboard. Do you know what board that is by chance?

Re: The oldest active Runboard?
I found several boards that still have some activity and which were created in 2003. Maybe I should change my project slightly and do one from before June 2003 and one from the last half of 2003...

Re: The oldest active Runboard?
Two things: Some ADMINS on warhammerquest have *legacy user* insted of a username why? And I guess after ten years the time the board was created goes and it just says which month it was created! Very interesting!

Re: The oldest active Runboard?
Runboard used to have global user accounts and local user accounts. Global accounts are all we have now, and local accounts could only be used at one board. Local account creations were disabled before I joined Runboard, and those accounts were deleted sometime after I joined. If I remember correctly, this was in 2006, but a search of RSF's Announcements forum might say otherwise. When Thor deleted all the local accounts, *legacy user* was put in place of their names. Therefore, any board that has a *legacy user* on staff has either been without an admin for almost a decade, the admin(s) don't know how to remove them, or they decided to keep it there for whatever reason.
Before September 24, 2003, board creation dates weren't stored in the database, so the oldest boards all say their creation date was "before September 24, 2003."

Re: The oldest active Runboard?
You're welcome, Brian.
I should also add that we can often estimate an old board's creation date if their first post is still on the board, or base it on the board owner's join date, assuming they haven't inherited the board from someone else. For example, if "Person X" owns a board that was created before September 24, 2003, and "Person X" made a "Welcome!" post before that date, it's fairly safe to assume that the board was created on the date "Person X" created their user account and/or made that "Welcome!" post.
