I had to laugh, my exwife told me about it. We didn't have internet at home, I'm thinking late '98. She showed it to me at her work station. I'd access the net at work occassionally, like Matt / PA said, to post you needed a email address to enter, I didn't have one so I used the one at Contact US at HNI email...LOL Bucking the system. Made some friends and soon got internet at home. I was hooked. Back then, alot less forums and only 4 mods, course we didn't have the traffic then either. I was the first poster to hit the 1000 mark, the first at 2000 and then people caught and surpassed me. I'm member number 3209, right before Matt joined.
