They were jokingly called grandma and grandpa by me on more than one occasion.

I remember them days. Was so funny to be called that. So many memories.

As for naming the others I'm still thinking. I have to weigh up if they play or not and want the attention. It's not rule breaking posting their names per se just don't want them to feel uncomfortable knowing they were named here.

As for the naming and shaming rule. It will not apply in this case as no one is shaming anyone. So it's within the rules. ;)

I thought and I posted. It's forum history really from 2003.

Amarra, Lady Belinda, Frideswide, Frizoid, Teagirl5, Trumpet909, Quizzical, Vorpalbunnie, Wookinstien.
They are some of the names I can remember. I'm sure there are more. After all it was back in 2003/4. The rest on the list I have were Jagex staff alt accounts which I won't name. :P

I think Tuffty is the longest-serving FMod. He might know

Nope. I'm second oldest by a few hours less.

Wednesday 4th May 2005 around 10-30pm.

Someone on the team beat me on the same day by a few hours. :P

That someone would be me, and we've been good friends ever since <3

And I'm not sure who was the very first F Mod.

From speaking with Tuffty in game and scouring the wiki it turns out the forums were released in 2001, withdrawn a few months later as there was to much rulebreaking and re-releaaed in early 2003 with a team of well trusted playermods to make sure they don't get a repeat of 2001

So there was never a first forum mod moreover a first group of forum mods, this is something I've only discovered after making this thread to find out who the first fmod was

It's all part of the F-Mod history now.

Now you know who the oldest F-Mod is.

Now you know a lot of the first few F-Mods are or were.

I just wish I had access to my other hard drives as I have a lot more of my RS history saved on them.

Yes Tox some great names in the F-Mod history. They will never be forgotten. ;)

Late 2003, Nov 11 to be specific.

Here's the newspost announcing their launch

---

We do also know, as said person has revealed it a few times on stream in the past, that one of the early FMods was Mod Ash before he became a JMod. And since he joined Jagex in 2004, that'll put him somewhere an 03/early-04 FMod group.
Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?

Thats why I can't put his user name here as he may still use the account. :P

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
