I found a 13 years old post in the TC 2000 (1993) message board. Makes me wonder how far back MovieChat preserved those old IMDb posts. It's like a blast to the past!
Did you find any older post?
15 years ago: https://moviechat.org/tt0374639/Incident-at-Loch-Ness/58c7be14f9fcca09a0da3f55/This-looks-awesome
shareThis is most probably also the oldest deleted post!
shareI know this is kind of cheating but I found a post with a link that leads to something offsite posted on December 12, 1984.

Just came across one on the Coyote Ugly board 17 years old https://moviechat.org/tt0200550/Coyote-Ugly/58c77c1793cef4080d7f9d82/Coyote-Ugly-2
shareI'm sure you could find even older ones if you use the Wayback Machine, I noticed some old posts there that didn't transfer over here unfortunately.

The original post is about finding out how far back MovieChat preserved the IMDb posts. If they didn't make it then they don't count.
shareYeah the transfer seemed a bit random but thanks to Jim it's better than nothing! I hated the way IMDb used to delete forum posts, it wasn’t just troll posts they'd wipe.
shareThe first post in MovieChat was pretty cool. 😀

None of those posters are still around, including Jim himself!

Yay! I found what must have been my first thread on IMDB, that I started fifteen years ago!

And I also started this one around the same time.
