    Simon and Rolf started in March 2001. I joined late. In December 2001.

    There was an earlier incarnation. Somersoft had a migrated posts section. I know I was in that forum, but earlier than indicated in the migrations I think. But I'm way off being a early member. It was quite active when I discovered it.

    June 2010. We'd been in the investment property game for a couple of years by that point, but I think until then I had probably been too busy to join with all the reno work we were doing after work hours and on weekends.

    That's me, The Fence. Before that "Thorpey"

    I remember being on the old board with a person called The Wife who started " Freestylers" and I went to a few of those early Freestyler meetings in Newcastle. Must have been 2001 or earlier I'm sure.

    Edit: I miss landlubber, come back mate!

    Late 1999 it was started. I joined early 2000, but I don't recall posting much in those early days until we moved to WebBoard.

    A Brief History of Somersoft...

    FYI - you can still see the original forum from 1999/2000 archived here: Investment Property Forum TOC (Sep 1999 - Sep 2000)

    ... and here: Forum TOC (Framed) (Sep 2000 - Nov 2000)

    I can't find any archives online for the period Nov 2000 - Feb 2001 when the WebBoard version of the site was launched.

    The dates associated with certain user profiles on the version of Somersoft we have now were backdated to when they joined the WebBoard forum - since I created a new account on the new forum the day it was launched, that makes it March 2001. I was actually a member well before then - although I've yet to locate any earlier posts I made.

    I do recall posting on the original forum - I just haven't found my posts in the internet archive yet.

    "The Wife" was very active on the forums in those days, as well as with live meetings. In one meeting which she had arranged, somebody couldn't find us, so there was an announcement "Could the wife come to the front counter".

    She was in the news about four years ago, where she slipped and fell while walking the 1000km Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia, where she slipped and was knocked unconscious. A GPS device enabled rescuers to find her, saving her life.

    I have been around SS since 2009 at least. I read a lot of posts on that website and tried to register a few times but could not. You had to request a membership I think and somehow my request was never accepted. Kept reading it anyway...

    PropertyChat let me create an account so I started contributing as well.
