Mac,
I do not remember the exact date it was created, and I definitely could not save the info from the "old-school" forum. However, I rememer being at the dealer in July of 2002 with my initial deposit.
Then I visited a very cool site:
www.archive.org
It shows the past history of nearly all websites in existance. Pretty cool to look up Yahoo! or Ebay or some of the other big guys.
Their earliest records show the site being up on July 27, 2002. So sometime before then. Look it up by typing in:
www.elcova.com/h2.
By all means order a drink, but I have not hired any bar tenders or waitresses, so it may take a while before you see it.
