Well, I was recently using web.archive.org for a reason, and I decided to see if any versions of AGN were on it. I tried it, and it worked. Low and Behold, now I could see what the forums looked like at different times, and even some classic themes and whatnot...
Anywho, I looked at the most recent one, and it turned out to be June 21 or something like that last year, and it was just about the time that I first came to AGN. And so, I humbly present my newbieness of first arriving, caps locked title and all. It wasn't so bad. Really.

See if you can find YOUR first post. go to web.archive.org and search for AGN
LOL!! There's me and GM!!
Wow, that's cool, I remember those themes, there's that awesome one, the blue and large text one with the characters around Armageddon Games. I miss UBB. I even remember a few of those old topics.
Unforunately, I wasn't able to locate my first post though.
omfg this is awesome, we can dig up history
I found out a couple more cool things.
ZeldaNet
The First Zelda Portal.
This place is really cool.
Sadly this doesn't go back to Nov 2000 so I have no way of locating my 1st post 😞
Interesting. Looked at the old(er) QDB, and checked the Quests forum.
The most recent quest submitted was October 6, 2001.
Niiice...

Oh, shut up.
Speaking of that, though, there's no way to get into the FTP of that, is there? Might be nice to get some files off of there; basically, the uploader that stopped working properly, forcing us to look for an alternative (I'm totally serious; half of the quests weren't being uploaded).

Holy shit! Talk about nostalgia all over! Wow... The old forums! The old QDB! The old Zelda Portal!
And ZHQ! Hey, I've always liked this pic:
