What's the first thread YOU created? Give us the forum/date/thread title, & how you feel about it now that you're older & wiser

In retrospect I'd wish my first thread was more interesting/controversial but there you go.

I think I deserve a honorable mention for only having started 11 threads in all the years I've been a member here and for being an active poster for 2.5 years before starting a thread.

Also, the my favourite thread among the ones I've started is this one: And it wasn't even really me who started it (thanks PP).

Pretty benign thread.

But I am not older and wiser. I'm older and wiseasser.

psh so boring it's embarassing, i thought for sure it woulda been something concerning butts. if i read that thread now i'd be like this guy's subnormal intelligence. i musta been high. and it took longer than i'd like to admit before i picked up the idea that i should have a separate rail thread and that i didn't need to justify all my bustouts. but i also see stylistic writing differences that i'm glad i changed, like my comma use is different today, and sometimes i leave a paragraph without a period because you can clearly see it's done

Are you guys checking the archives? Because the current software is very incomplete (only active threads were carried forward)

http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/ubbthreads.php

And the archive's Search appears to be pretty broken, and never had a way to Search by OP anyhow.

FWIW, my first post on 2+2 was in this thread:

I am actually pretty happy given the alternative it could have been which was believe it or not a religious thread.

I think my first one was about Paradise Poker bonuses on my previous short-lived account. People were mean to me!

That thread where the PG&C community was thoroughly outed for having the majority of their OP's written by a handful of professional writers to help build the growth of poker, and all of the other creative things the higher ups do to make 2p2 a better place than most.

Interesting thread idea. Mine turned out to be this one: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32...es-sngs-80244/
Kind of an interesting phenom in which I noticed that $10 SnGs seemed easier than $5 SnGs.

Next was a HH in which I included results in a spoiler, which is ironic, given how often I tell new posters not to do that these days.

The third was a "rec player" rant that would fit right in with the "screw you, Negranu, rec players want to win" one from NVG last month. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32...al-play-92623/

I'm agnostic about the existence of my first thread.

I'm guessing mine will be something about poker bonuses - now I'm off to search and find out.

After a day of paying to sit in the 4 seat but being forced to sit in the 4 and a half seat bec of the 500 pounder seated next to me I started a B&M thread 'Charge the behemoths more!' I thought it was funny but I got flamed a bit by fat ppl. Here it is although I can't get it to display properly (OP not in there, etc)

I think I suck at this archive searching thing; I can't seem to find any posts for myself before August 2006 - hard to believe I'd have an account and be able to stay silent for 3 months.

Regardless, it of course was indeed about bonuses...and rakeback:

Not a very exciting thread, but the site names...oh, some of those sites. Tribeca, Crypto - those were the days of printing money!

Haha, somewhat predictable, mine was Sept '09, a strat thread in STTF about how I played AK

cliffs
$6.50 STT on stars
still 9 handed
17bb eff
I raise 1/3 my stack

I ask if I should have folded

Now that I am older and wiser
