They didn't actually join that year. Bear in mind that 1969 was before a) Apolyton was formed, b) the internet was in use and c) many of the people with 1969/1970 join dates were even born.

But I guess they can still tell stories.

You mean Apolyton wasn't really here in 1969

I could have swore I was getting porn off the internet back in those days

I'm a 1999 guy myself. That was with a screen name before this one- which was registered in feb 2000. Right after SMAC came out, I registered my first screen name here.

Remember those days? Smac was the greatest game ever- for a few months at least

I got my first real six string.
Bought it at the five and dime.
Played it 'till my fingers bled.
Was the summer of '69.

Me and some guys from school,
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit... Joey got married.
Shoulda known... we'd never get far.

Ohh, but when I look back now,
That summer seemed to last forever.
And if I had a choice, yeah, I'd always want to be there.
Those were the best days of my life.

Yeah, what with such wonderful threads as

"How many of you guys like disco music?"
"Check out my new bell bottoms"

Ah, the memories...

Ah, ACOL. I remember when we were in open warfare with them, among some other boards as well, such as Newsmax. They're still around... http://www.planetacol.com/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi
