ArchivesHow old is this site?
I know this probably isn't the right place to ask this question but when was this site founded?, the earliest comments I could find were from 2005 and I would like to know the exact date this site was founded for curiosity's sake.

Adding to this: people might be interested in viewing screenshots of the early days of Behind the Name. These are located at the Wayback Machine at https://archive.org/web/ . The earliest screenshot that they have, is from March 2000:

Oh, how I miss those days! I wish I could go back. :(

I had no idea just how recent this current layout was. I had completely forgotten about the old layout from when I first signed up...

Oh, my freaking goodness! This is gold.
I remember that BtN had a somewhat similar layout when I signed up in February 2004, maybe with another sidebar to the (our) right, but that could be much later on and my memory playing tricks on me. I kinda miss that sharp-edged colorful layout a bit.

woooooooooooooow! I think the Wayback Machine just may be my newest website obsession! Did y'all know these boards used to just be one ginormous forum??? And threads were simply called messages, and to indicate that there was more to the message than the subject line you'd put txt instead of m??? Mind. Blown.

Oh so that's what that '(m)' means! The mystery is finally solved! xD

(m) means (more).

In my experience, any forum post with mature content is labelled (m). I had no idea BtN used it for a different purpose. I just assumed that anybody putting (m) was following those rules

I'm a little late to respond here but this board typically does (PG-13) or something to warn about mature content.
Most other forums don't allow you to write messages in the title of a reply. If someone writes a sentence reply in their title, they'd mark it with (nt) or (m) to allow people to know quickly if their post needs to be opened.

Wow! I didn't know this site had such a long history! It launched a year after I was born :0
