Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site?


I wonder if anyone else remembers Audiogon from 15+ years ago. I remember visiting the site daily scrolling through all the listings. Back then posting was free and you had an endless number of ads.  It had as many used audio listings as Ebay. I can remember buying a Paradigm CC-200 and also a pair of Paradigm ADP-150's  back around 1999. Those were my first two purchases. How about you?

I've been a member here since 1997 but agon has my membership date as 2008.
I was posting before I became a member. Back then just a email address would get you going.
Back then there wasn't a whole lot of gear to choose from. Probably less than what's offered on Audio Asylum today.
The posts in the forum were instantaneous and very lightly moderated. Major flame wars ruled the day (analog vs digital etc) which caused the eventual heavy moderation.
Many of the old timers are now gone for good or contribute very infrequently.
The heaviest posters back then- sedond,cornfedboy,albertporter,unsound,musicdoc,treja,carl_eber, swampwalker,psychicanimal.
There were many others, but time has erased them from my memory.
The good old days!
