I went looking for the last page of posts to the forum and found that http://blogoscoped.com/forum/all-362.html was the last page and http://blogoscoped.com/forum/48.html was the last post on that page.
http://blogoscoped.com/forum/1.html doesn't exist, where is it?
also, are these the first two posts to the blog? http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2003_05_01_index.html
i'm procrastinating :/ |
Actually, these two threads are older (but they have more recent replies, which is why they weren't the last ones on the page):

I'm guessing Philipp made a few test posts which he subsequently deleted...
(BTW, we have discussed this before but I can't find the thread...) |
>Actually, these two threads are older (but they have more recent replies, which is why they weren't the last ones on the page)
Yeah, i didn't have the patience to look for older threads
>I'm guessing Philipp made a few test posts which he subsequently deleted...
Ooo-- censorship, Philipp?
i'm kidding-- it would be cool to have been able to see the first forum post ever though |
And when I say test posts, I mean test posts. I'm guessing they'd probably look something like this:
Subject: test
Post body: test
:-)
The links above are likely to be for the first actual forum posts. AFAIK the forum software has never changed, unlike the blog software which started with Blogger. I seem to remember Philipp saying that there were even a few older blog posts / articles than the ones on that page you've linked to but I can't remember. |

ah, haha-- when i read the first post i somehow didn't see "test" |
This was the first Google Blogoscoped forum post:
http://blogoscoped.com/forum/33.html
The forum database was shared with other sites like FindForward.com's forum or GamesfortheBrain.com so that's why the ID space is shared. (No GUIDs, as threads are never private :)).
I actually did not include the first couple of blog posts before when moving the blog from Blogger.com to a database here. But I just reinstated the first post now, which was from April 28th 2003 and can now be found in the updated archive (http://blogoscoped.com/calendar/2003-04).
So here goes, the first Google Blogoscoped post ever :)
http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2003_04_28_index.html
There's now three posts missing from April containing somewhat incoherent ramblings but if you really want them email me... but none of them was before the above one :) I was living in Malaysia at the time and posting from internet cafes.
In a way though the blog started here http://www.outer-court.com/tech/ ... the manual creation of HTML files and timestamps and links and so on took to long so that caused the switch to the blog style... |
