Ya got me a bit K-Man so no challenge here.
- Oct 1996, Bought my domain sqvirtual, set up shop and learned basic html and built a little site just messing around. Problem was I didn't know diddly about making any money.
- Oct 31, 1997, I stumble on that first board (YNot?) and seen Fantasyman and a few jousting for position.
Aaah to go to that night again.
I still remember how well Pink Bits sold. Damn that sold easy in them days.

These 4 come to mind as being there, on that board, ready for your traffic that night.
A few more came soon after but not too many others at the very beginning.
Note: 2 were Aussie too.
Occurs to me everyone back then was named *man too.
