Unfortunately, we weren't able to import users from WebBoard directly - people had to create their own user accounts in vBulletin and then I retroactively changed old user accounts for users I could identify to match the new vB accounts.
As such, I don't have a full list of WebBoard users in vB.
I guess I could try and find any user who was a member in 2002 or earlier (I backdated WebBoard users join dates in vB to match when they joined WebBoard, pre-dating the September 2002 launch of the vB forum) ... who is still active now.
Okay, there were 571 users listed with a join date earlier than 1st Jan 2003 and of those, 88 have visited the site at some time in 2012 ... 60 have visited within the past 3 months and 31 have posted in the past month.
Here is a list of those 31:
- Sim
- Ian Somers
- Rolf Latham
- Kristine..
- see_change
- geoffw
- Crystal
- Rixter
- flyingace
- Elizabeth L
- Mr. Fabulous
- landlubber
- Joe D
- keithj
- PT_Bear
- Steve Navra
- Ace in the Hole
- Jacque
- JamesGG
- The Fence
- WillG
- NigelW
- Ian (WA)
- Lily House

G'Day Sim
I clearly remember the day this new Board started up
As Member #20 since March, 2001 the Forum has been of real significance in my life. It is a dynamic, interesting and safe place to be. Safe, in that abuse and general bad manners are not tolerated here, it is a place for serious discussion about property investing and it has certainly inspired many people to consider investing in property
As always, thanks for all your work and of course to Jan & to Ian for making the Forum possible at all and to the Moderators and Administrators for the ongoing management and functioning of the site
Cheers

Thanks right back at you Geoff - without the users contributing, this forum would be nothing compared to what it is ... and the moderators who have worked hard over the years have helped make it happen.
I might have built the site, but I didn't make it great - everyone did that.
Sweet, made the list, surprisingly.
Sim, I just checked back on my history and found my first post to be on October 2001.
However, my stats say join date is September 2002.
Can I be promoted?

I was a latecomer to the Party having only joined up early 2004, I've learned a hell of a lot from many of the forum members over the years though and am still learning
Thanks to Sim as Administrator, the Moderators, the Forum Members, and most importantly, a big thank you to Jan & Ian as creators and hosts of this site, because without them, none of us would be on this forum.
The posts that bring an Aha moment, the members that ask a question you wanted to know the answer to also, strategy threads that get you thinking, seasoned members and industry participants who post here regularly, even the threads that chase Alice down the rabbit hole only to be padlocked by a Moderator.... all bring a variety of opinions and insight

Spending time here brings my average up
And it sure beats waking up and reading the newspaper

Thanks to Sim and all the contributors and administrators. Having been on SS since 2002 (actually earlier but I changed logs in) I have found this an amazing source of information and continually amazed by the generosity of all involved.
There is just over 1.6mill people who have an investment property in Aust and I hazard to guess most are missing the best place for advice and help.
Keep up the work.

Happy birthday Somersoft.
Thanks to all the mods and Sim for keeping it running and a great place to ask a million questions and gain support for all our endeavours - property and non property.
