You can sort the members list by join date here:

Note that this came after a software upgrade that did not preserve the sign-on dates. I think PF actually first started about Jan 01.

Greg?

True, infact if we added the two years we lost do to drastic software changes we'd have another ~200k posts and ~10k more members.

Pool guess: Monday, June 2nd 3:45 pm MST.

Hate to get nit-picky, but we are on daylight saving time. So these guesses should really say MDT, CDT, EDT, etc. I guess we'll assume that's what people mean?

My guess: Tuesday June 3, 7:15 a.m. EDT.
