Access threads from the very beginning of LQ


Hi,

Looking at the thread about LQ's 14th anniversary, I have thought to myself that I'd love to read Jeremy's first post on the forum (and generally some early posts). I looked at Jeremy's statistics but it looks like only the last 600 threads get displayed in Jeremy's thread history.

Is there any way of accessing the very early threads?


By the way, thank you for the greatest forum ever!

Ah, interesting. Thanks. If you go to a particular section of the forum, you seem to be able to reach threads from 2000. If you go through eg Jeremy's public profile (Threads started by Jeremy), the earliest one is from 2010 (last 600 threads).

Actually, this is the first thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...estions-org-2/
The search can list them in order, but actual thread start date is only found in the first post in the thread.

As noted, the current search will only return a maximum of 600 results. While that will be changed in the future, all threads are directly accessible (and available by threadid).
