If you look at the URL

http://www.xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=5

you can see that it's actually thread #5. This would have been the day that the forum changed from PHPBB to the new VBulletin software. The first four threads are gone (I imagine they were Bert setting up and testing), so it looks like you did find the oldest existing thread.

That is what I get for trusting Google.

I just went to dictionary.com found the real definition of "infamy" and even IF I had spelled it correctly it still would not have been the correct word to use in this case.
