I've been on Usenet since 1996. : )
What about this group?
I don't really care enough to research it. What are you hoping to gain
by knowing this, anyway?
I'm not looking to gain anything. However I was considering giving
credit to someone for their longevity.
Also, it's quite likely that the mac computer groups existed well before
this iPhone (and subsequently Michelle's iPad) newsgroups did.
I think comp.mobile.android may have been created at about the same time as misc.phone.mobile.iphone,
Certainly this group wasn't created until the first iPhone was created, although the iPod existed before the iPhone (June 29, 2007) was released.

Hi badgolferman,
It's different when you converse with an adult, versus an iKook, huh?
:)
As far as I am concerned, there's no need for you to apologize to
Jolly Roger for you having asked a simple question requesting data
from others. I generally search for the data I need using the
typical Usenet archives.
<http://tinyurl.com/misc-phone-mobile-iphone> But, of course, they
only go back to when they first started archiving.
Of course, the group "can" be older than the archive, for all I know.
It's not Jolly Roger's nature to be helpful, of course, and therefore
he lashed out at you because, like always, he doesn't like you asking >questions - but I think your question is valid as it helps to
understand.
And I, for one, try to understand each and every one of you on this
ng.
Moving forward to help you answer the information of the history of
the ng, particularly since you've been kindly and dutifully compiling
& reporting statistics for a while, this says the group goes back
fifteen years.
<https://misc.phone.mobile.iphone.narkive.com/>
When you go to that page (which is very often down but it's up right
now), it shows a histogram of all the posts, and it says below that
bar chart misc.phone.mobile.iphone 9122 Threads
175057 Posts
Ranked #239
First post 15 years ago
There is a way to reverse sort with the oldest thread first.
If you look at "Display Options" on the right header.
Can you do me a favor and try to sort narkive by this set of options?
"Last message date, Oldest first"
When I did that, it errored out as "Couldn't Save Options, Please
Retry" but that could be because of my browser settings (for privacy).
If you can get that sort to work, you'll get the people posting
fifteen years ago (circa 2008, which is about the right time frame).
I get the same error message: Couldn't Save Options, Please Retry
Interestingly enough when I tried the link on the phone, the Display
Options didn't even show up. I had to use the desktop browser to see
that menu item.
Oh well, thank you for trying. It was just a curiosity thing.
In summary, (a) it's great you're seeking data as all data is good
data, and (b) I tried to help where I could, and (c) the iKooks,
sadly, do not.
I think nospam could help if he wanted to, but alas it's often hard to
get a straight answer from him. At the very least we know he is among
those with the longest tenure in this group so he could say if anyone
else has been around longer than he has.

Hi badgolferman,
A conversation with you is different than one with the child-like iKooks.

If you spoke to people in person as you write to and about them in
here, you'd get bitch-slapped a dozen times a day.

People don't want to have to wash their hands that much.

Nothing a solid pair of beemer gloves can't solve. As a bonus, a good
slap with them would provide a prolonged effect. ; )

Nah, those are generally soft and lightweight, with no knuckle and
finger protection. Go with beemer gloves instead, and aim for the nose
and eyes. ; )

my answers are always straight, unless i'm toying with a troll.
Is that what you think of me?
