    What's the Oldest Thread on TSR?
    Anyone know what the oldest Thread on TSR is? Would be interesting to see if anyone can find it (TSR history) just for the hell of it...

    There doesn't seem to be threads 1 or 2, so the oldest I can find is this: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3

    WOW - now that is history - and to think that was just less than a month after 9/11 - wonder if there's anything from September that year about the incident...

    I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me, but check out the bottom-most thread last comment date on this page - must have been a wrong entry date (1/1/1970!) as I doubt there would have been many computers in those days, let alone TSR

    1/1/1970 is a sort of default date / date missing value, so it's not totally random :nah:

    Also, mods can change the date on posts. A few months ago I made what I believe was the first post of 2013, for example.
