I really can't remember.  I remember at first wasn't there was Shop Talk, and I believe this chat board later?  I just remember two.  I remember so many Capt Picard, Choc, Jaguar and many others who participated.

I believe it was around 1993 or the early 1990's but don't have a real date.  Anyone else have thoughts about this?  

We used to start some silly story from what someone said and we'd go on for days adding to it. Lots and lots of laughs back in the early days.

I am not sure when it started. But I do have a memory of my first post where we were talking about Bare Minerals foundation. I began by saying "I am 47 and...".

I will be 68 in a few days.

The QVC website launched in September 1996, so the message board would have started later. The earliest that I see Shop Talk on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine is their October 8, 1997 crawl of the QVC site. It's listed on the bottom left.

Farthest back had Bob Bowersox on and can't think of her name, she does jewelry now.  Only a few are left.  Has anyone had an anniversary lately?

I don't know but I do remember signing up for the board in 2005. 

It was much busier then with lots of heated political discussions and many arguments about many other things.  The boards moved quickly and it reminded me of a soap opera in a way! Very entertaining!

I came over here when "blasphemous" contributors crashed the HSN boards on Christmas Eve...around 2003, I believe.

I know I joined long before the 2010 date shown under my nic.  When they revamped the boards that time, they reset many posters' registered date to that and many of us lost hundreds or thousands on the post count.

There was no rhyme or reason to why they did that.  (Some posters said their stats weren't affected.)

All I know is that my first posts were in early 2003.

@Venezia I have that 2010 date too, because of the revamp of the board.  And as you mentioned, my post count started over at zero.  I didn't really care at the time, but now I don't remember when I actually started here except that it was well before 2010.  I do remember that I first started posting on the Fashion board, which was why my nick is "Shoesnbags."  That's my weakness, spending-wise haha.
