I joined in 1999, just as I placed my order for my MY99, (yes, a nine month wait and the closest thing I could test drive was a Terzo!).
Don't post much nowadays but read others and still get the odd chuckle!

Anyone remember Audilover/LordoftheRings/LOTR? One of the biggest wind-up merchants I've ever wittnessed on this board, on a par with Mycroft, with claims of his inside sources in the VW Group, his love for Audi's was unnatural. His spats with some forum members, including myself were epic, so much so he's been wiped off this board completely! You may see traces of his presence where he as been quoted.
Who was the dude who typed in text speak, also he managed to post his comments with an accent which I didn't think was possible! Could never understand what he was writing as a result.

The clown who used to post in phonetic Glasgow dialect drivel was mentioned above - Moses- it was like reading a Z movie Trainspotting script
The Pro Pro Pro thread tickled me too as well as of course the classic Norman D Landing / The Cows...

June 2000 for me. Took delivery of a spanking new DBM MY2000 in Mar 00 after a 4 month wait. IIRC the waiting times were just starting to get a bit more reasonable at that time.
Can't remember why I hadn't joined before that though, as I certainly remember finding SN very useful.

I can't exactly remember if Moses typed in text speak, but he was able to make his typo in Scottish accent. I thought he was a decent guy. Not that I ever understood him properly
but I remember having a fun conversation with him here about an actor while someone stuck their ore in to call him allsorts 
I didn't understand what was going on, it was all very weird. That was the last I saw him here.

There was some testing through September 1998 and opened to the public in October. I joined on 22 October 1998 and there were 10 or so people ahead of me - I'm sure at some point the statistics also had the sequential number of when you joined.
In the years before Scoobynet, the community was basically a big mailing list with everyone getting emailed every reply to every thread - it was a bit quieter back then and much more technically focussed !
