Er .... March 10, 1999, give or take two days.
Prior to that, Condom was a single, private members-only board aimed only at newbies. Plans had been made a few weeks before to "open her up public" and add expand the base beyond just newbies with a bunch of new forums as well.
Then the YNOT fiasco between RickYNOT and Mojo, other people yelling at YNOT as well, Serge leaving and appearing at Condom, and the rest of the story ...
I remember it for a variety of reasons. Mostly though, I had been ready to quit at the time -- too little money for way lot of work -- and was seriously mulling it over at the time. As the events that were playing out were very obviously going to totally transform the landscape (and did) of the industry -- including bring a ton of more advertisers and money and powerbase over to Condom -- I had made the decision to stick around a bit longer.
