Hey guys, this thread isn't really important at all i've just always been curious as to who was the very first Newschoolers member. The closest i've seen is MacMahoooon but he's only member number 46. Anyone know the number 1 member?

I got one that might not be as easy. Who was the second member? I know the answer, do you?

Apart from Harvey, the member numbers up until David Lesh have a low post count. The majority of them haven't logged in on that account since before Sept 2001.

Probably just accounts created to test features of the site

Yeah bigtime. This place was literally built from the ground up. When there was ten dudes hanging out here and they were all friends of Harvey's - they were all just skiing on the weekends and coming on NS to talk about it. Past that they talked about skiing together on the weekends - wash, rinse, repeat and you've basically got Newschoolers.com

Uh well I just logged in for the first time in about five+ years, and I was one of the first. I remember when this came online. Wow have things changed. I think I'd be in the first few thousand member numbers probably.

Not everything has changed though. I met up with Harvey same year it launched and who would have guessed then.  I might come back a little more often now as I too used to run and action sports company and am (as life does) coming back full circle into it.

And I can't bloody wait!

Hi to everyone who has joined since...ohhhhhhhh probably the past 14 or so years!

I'm fronty.

I still think that one Australian guy "X" is the coolest member on this site.

To find out who was the first, second, third etc., do this.

https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/members/profile/member_id/1/
See that number in the URL that is a 1, after the member_id part? That means the 1st user. copy that link into the bar and it will be Harvey. putting a 2 there will send you to flanker.

Yeah, from what I've heard Lesh was the first random person to join NS that wasn't connected with developing the site.
