When did BYOND memberships come to be? Like the year/month or perhaps the exact date we were able to purchase memberships which included the unique page and ability to post. I know back then the page did not even equal to what it is now it used to be the gray and blue default css and didn't have many things like the calender and custom boxes.

I want to guess Saturday, April 09, 2005. It was probably earlier.

June 01 of 2005.

Before that it was private for a select group of beta testers, so you will find posts before June 01, 2005, but it was not accessible to the general public at that point.

The gray and blue style was gone before memberships came to be, or I would've seen it, I believe.

June of 2005. If I'm not mistaken, everyone was offered a 15 day trial as well.

As stated before, memberships were officially introduced in June of 2005. They were however in the process of design and testing for upwards of a year before that.

No, not that one. I saw that. There was a more ancient blue/black design... try around 02.

You're quite correct, this has been said for a long time. However Tom seems to like this site better so it sticks.

I was talking about the orginal members page, but that's ok. I've seen the '02 layout etc.
