is there any way to find your first post?

Was just wondering what it was! Oddly I always though I signed up for this site during the 2004 election. It was actually October 25th, 2008 according to my profile!

The "my posts" link only goes back 30 days so i was curious if there is a way to search for post #1.

1. not very easily

the search function now only goes back to 2011, some memorable topics can be found before that but searching is hit or miss. add to the problem the 2016 hack and the moves to different DU versions and it can be really hard.

2. Good question.

Is there a way to query posts back to 2001? That would be fascinating.

Back then, I was already cynical about Republicans and their ideas about political power, They spent the 60's/70's studying RW takeovers in SA and CA. That was the laboratory to produce the game plan for their takeover.

On edit-

Better search/archive tools would be a real great feature for the user and potentially monetizing social researching.....

4. Yeah, my first post was the first post ever

And I quote: "Some message board this is!"

5. well, i made an effort with this but i think you should take it from here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/archives.php?date=2008x10x25

i did a word search on all the threads going down to: "help needed - a friend just got a flyer"
that's the thread you can start doing your takk word search on

i also did the word search for the last 25 threads.

if you find your first post please let me know. now i'm curious to see what i've been looking for
good luck!
