User · Post by **User** » 13 Jul 2022, 15:48

April 12th was official opening. The year is something that people have argued about. I fully 100% stand by it being 2001 while some say it's 02.

I also joined in 2002 or 2003 - before Heretic came out.
People posted some picture of Pete behind the drumkit and Trey with a moustache.

i think you are right nick, it was 2001

User · Post by **User** » 13 Jul 2022, 16:08

happy 21st and 3 months anniversary

User · Post by **User** » 13 Jul 2022, 16:09

at the same time, i also think you are wrong, and it was 2002

User · Post by **User** » 13 Jul 2022, 16:11

no you are right it was 2001

My timeline might be a bit fucked only because I was around for the pre-morbidangelchat times.

Necro originally hosted it on his website before he went and got a proper domain. I just remember plenty of late nights when I was still in school, which couldn't have been the case in April of 02.

I also have a vague memory of a 9/11 megathread

rhino · Post by **rhino** » 13 Jul 2022, 16:39

I rightfully don't know as i joined in april or may of 2002, and the place was already full a chaotic post whoring so in my mind i always thought it was 2001

vO)))id · Post by **vO)))id** » 13 Jul 2022, 17:31

My membership might've also been in 2001 or 2002 in that case. Really can't remember well enough.
I only remember some people and the fact that Heretic was announced as H2K3 or something like that. We were mostly discussing Gateways at the time.

It had to have been 2001 because I joined the spring/summer of 02 and I remember lots of folks already having sizeable post counts.

it was 2001 - I joined around the time MA were on tour with Pantera.

User · Post by **User** » 13 Jul 2022, 22:05

it is sorted, now let's never forget this or be ambiguous about it again

happy 21 year anniversary

i joined mabb on july 25th 2002 to download in their darkened shrines, which came out in august of 2002

at that time, mabb was three months old

the way i know that is because necro's joined date in his profile was april 12, 2002

the forum technically opened the day before but he had to fix some of this and some of that and so on that day there were neither posts nor people to post them

so technically mabb's 20th anniversary was april 11, 2022

but practically mabb's 20th anniversary was april 12, 2022

and functionally neither date matters because today is july 13, 2022

though it is also july 14 in some parts of the world

end of line

you 2001 fools are on some bullshit, dusto has it. the forums started in 2002, i graduated and met trey before MABB existed, and both of those things happened in june of 2001.

We had this conversation in Philly! I am firmly in the 2001 camp. Someone get necro in here!

sorry 2001 duders but you are all incorrect

i joined this board three months into its existence and it was in july

the other way i know it was not july of 2001 is i posted like a fucking madman the day fear factory broke up and i did so on the old fear factory and snw forums because those were the only places where i posted and anyone gave a shit

and that was in february of 2002

if i had been a member of mabb from july 2001 to february of 2002 i would have been the author of a 10-page thread on mabb but i didn't know any of you hoes yet

damn y'all old as shit

i arrived in 2008 or 2009 i think...

User · Post by **User** » 14 Jul 2022, 07:20

the reason i went with 2001 is because there is an internet archive page from october 2001 for morbidangelchat.net - HOWEVER, that is only necro's landing page, if you remember it, that says "click here to enter". so not the phpbb itself, which has the first archive from april 2002. so morbidangelchat.net and some kind of forum did exist in 2001 but maybe not phpbb. does this mean there is a mabb v0.0 ? or -1

one thing i noticed when i joined in 2003 is that the majority of members were 1-2 years older than me, which you noticed back then as a teenager. of course it was irrelevant within a couple of years and we all just seemed the same age. except ninny

The plot thickens

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 14 Jul 2022, 10:35

necro had an MA fansite back in 2001, but the forums didn't go up until '02. that's where you're getting mixed up. dusto is correct, i am correct. i didn't post on forums at all until i joined the sailor scouts and that was in spring of '01, way before MABB came into existence. i had played casually on their servers a few times between then and when gateways came out (found them via the liner notes) in october of 2000. i found MABB because necro linked it on our board just after launching it. registered and posted for like a week and then mostly dodged it until mid '03.

Sad touch that MABB missed Morbid Angel's glory days, imagine postwhoring on Covenant when it was new

1993 post whoring

We didn't have internet back then.

I was only 9. Can't imagine I'd have done much post whoring.
