The oldest post I was able to find was this one -> http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f16/craftsman-12-band-saw-hickory-2-post2/#post2
Not surprisingly, it involved tools

I'm sure it is a good one, but the site says I lack permission to view it.:tinysmile_cry_t::tinysmile_cry_t:

Don't feel bad Ray, neither do I!:gar-La;
It is not a real thread but one of the voices that only Bas hears.
For the record I can not see it either.
Looks like we updated software early on...

I've decided to bring things back in a piecemeal fashion.
The Home Page has been replaced. It still is at www.ncwoodworker.net The primary difference is that the News portion is just the Topics from the Announcements. That way anyone who wishes to make an announcement just posts in the announcement forum. There are NO special comments, just normal replies to topics. How's that Insomniac\\/
The import of the users and forums went much better than I expected. But of course, not everything is perfect. The forum page is at www.ncwoodworker.net/forums
First, your profile and options. It is very important that when you log in the first time, that you click the "UserCP" and set up both your profile and your options. There are abunch of new profile fields that should be set. Also, the import did not pick up the default options. I strongly suggest that you select "Hybrid" mode for thread viewing, at least until you get used to the new displays. Also, pick up the WYSWIG mode for editing.
The reason for the extra fields in the profile is to assist members in searching for members. A major reason for this site is to let members meet each other becuase of location and/or interests. vBulletin provides extensive facilities for search forums and members.
This system has literally thousands of options for set up by the Admin. I made a best guess at what some of them really meant. So don't be surprised, if I screwed up some or even a lot. Just let me know know and I will fix asap.
Please post your problems, questions, etc in this thread so everything can be seen by everybody. That will help me a lot. There is a FAQ supplied by the the vBulletin people. Please try that first.
Logging in: If you have trouble logging in, please email me at admin@ncwoodworker.net.
More info shortly,
Steve
PS. Sorry about the smiley display. Did some cleanup but not enough.

The reason that almost nobody can see it is that those threads were long ago archived. It is just that the way I archived them let's some of us to see them.
The official Anniversary is july 10, 2005. I joined the site as user id #1 and announced on woodnet that we were open for business. The site was just a CMS and only a couple of forums. Monty/Insomniac pushed to go full forums, and the result was the post that Mike found about updating the software. There one more change in base software and that was the shift to vBulletin in Sept or October.
Of the almost 500 people who joined between then and the end of 2005, there are still 54 members who have average at least one visit a week for the last 180 days. That's over 10% of users have remained active. So regardless of you think, we are still doing well and keeping people vsiting even if they don't post as often as they used to.

Wow, how cool is that!:icon_cheers:icon_cheers:icon_cheers
Congratulations and :new_birth to Steve and all those early members who have made this such a great site. I'm one of the more recent joiners, but already I consider this site an important part of my daily activities.
Thank you all, :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

I think DaveO posted a link to this before, but if you go to archive.org, at the top, in the "Way Back Machine," type in the URL of this site (or any site) and check out what they looked like at certain checkpoints in the past. Here is what NCWWer looked like back on February 2, 2006. http://web.archive.org/web/20060202130207/http://ncwoodworker.net/
Looks quite different!
Looks quite different!
They only save the text version in order to save their disc space. It never looked like that. You have to realize they archive millions of web sites.
