Longest tenured and active FT poster
Is there a way to see who is the active poster with the oldest registration / signup date? I go back to mid 2000, but I know there are others who predate me by a good two years.

There is a group of originals members with a join date of May 5, 98 & May 6, 98. Some are still active. The member numbers looks to be arbitrary for the May 5 / May 6 join date
Apparently there was a FT message board before that date, when Randy reorganised the message board into Flyertalk

I'm not sure that all of the original members have the words Original Member under their usernames as some might be indicated instead as moderators, etc.

I had the impression that original members had join dates covering several months, through about November 1998, not just two days.

I'm one of the "original members" with a May 1998 join date, and I'm still active - though the days of having my company subsidize 100K miles per year are well behind me. When I do travel, which will hopefully be more in the future than it's been for the past couple of years, I'm grateful for lifetime status.

P.S. I show as May 5, 1998 and I think I have viewed the board at least once a day EVERY day since then (minus, I would estimate, 10-20 days a year when I was sick/no internet/etc.)

The profile of any member will show the join date. Usually, but not always will show "last activity"
