    What's the oldest active thread

    I just saw the Word Association thread, which was started November 4th, 2005 and is still very active with 1206 pages as of this posting and the most recent post shortly before I started this thread. I was just wondering if this is the oldest active thread, or if it isn't what one is?

    Re: What's the oldest active thread

    I'm betting Thread Rules and Guidelines is the oldest thread. Either that or Welcome to Ubuntuforums.org.

    Both are dated October 9, 2004.

    P.S. I've moved this to the forums subforum.

    I guess it depends on how you define active. If you mean that it shows up in the first ten pages of new posts, that shouldn't be too hard to find.

    I was going by the thread not being closed.

    I guess the definition of active is a little hazy. I was simply impressed by the longevity and activity of the word association thread, and was wondering if there was a older thread with similar levels of activity.

    I'm now on a quest to see who claims the honor of posting the first question on the forums not on the mailing list. So far I have looked at the first 70 threads, and except for 4 threads by ubuntu-geek, all have been posts to the mailing list.

    I'm pretty sure he means threads that are still being posted in within the past couple days.

    Success, it looks like the honor goes to thread 94, a howto written by disposable. So now all I have to do is make a post there, and I will have answered my own question!!!
