How old is Lit?

[Liar]

I just noticed that there's nominations for "The 10th Annual Literotica Award" going on.

Does that mean that Lit has tuned 10 years old, or is about to? And where is/was the party and why isn't/wasn't I invited?

Rumor has it we all get to post free that day. Of course, that's just a rumor.

Weird Harold would know but I think 1999 sound about right for the full fledged edition. [I nearly typed full felched edition and I have no idea what felching is. (note to self: Ask Stella what felching is)]

I have been reading stories here since late 1999, so I am not all that surprised.

Does this mean that lit is underage, and we should leave her alone for another eight years?

Laurel said 1999 yesterday and we have a number of posters with 1999 registration dates. I think it must be 1999 with my powerful skills of deduction.

Lit is bit over ten years old. The awards are ten years old, but Lit was around one or two years before they started giving out awards.

1999 is when they converted from UBB forum software to vBulletin software and UBB didn't track join dates or they didin't convert to the vBulletin database format, I forget which.

Despite Pure's research at whois, I'm pretty sure there was an incarnation of Literotica before Literotica.com's record was created in late 1998. (there is -- or was -- a literotica.ORG as well as Literotica.com.) I think the oldest stories are dated sometime in 1997.
