Hello. What age is this forum? What was the year it started?

EFDan · 02-11-2019, 11:27 PM

1964.

We used to use pigeons to send messages/communicate/swap gear.

Very funny.

Alex7, I should know this, but I’ll tag andrewjs18 so that you get an accurate answer. Smile

I am guessing June-July 2015 based on the oldest post I saw plus "when joined" dates.

I do recall an article on the history of shaving forums.

I joined in September 2015, and remember that the site was a few months old at that time. Andrewjs18's profile says he joined in 04-13-2015. He was presumably was the first member, so that is probably about the time the site went live.

Here is a post from that time:

we started building the site in May of 2015 but didn't tell the public about it until I think June.

So 2015 was the founding year of this forum.

of the new iteration of DFS, yes. DFS existed long ago under different ownership (a personal friend of mine owned it, actually).
