Members started coming over from the old Knightmare forum in mid-November 2002. The earliest post I can find is this one from James.

Alright Nic

Good work on the site update, and good choice of forum too - these ones really do the business and you can do lots of cool stuff with them!  ;D

Cheers

As Grimaldine Grimwold noted on the forum's first anniversary:

In some ways, this forum has been a bit of a lucky talisman for KM fans- its arrival coincided almost exactly with Challenge deciding to rerun the old KM episodes.

No matter how high or low life force energy has been since, the forum has been here for us.

Despite the incursions of social media and the demands of adult life offline, we've had more than 860 members notching up well over 50,000 posts.

Whether you were around at the beginning or have contributed since, thank you to everyone who's helped to make this forum such an entertaining and fascinating place to be a Knightmare fan.
