This is not the original forum. This one started in the summer of 05. There was a smaller experimental forum before that. It only had about a dozen threads. I was a poster on that as well. Also when the forums were in their infancy, there was no need to register. Anyone could post as a guest.

No, all the threads and posts were scrapped and everything started afresh. I don't think even warchief has them saved. Back when this site (forum-less) first appeared, there was a more established U.S site known as Reallivebunch. That had no forum but had a guest book which people used for debating (eventually got over run with flaming which lead to the site dis-activating).
Warchief created the original forum as a more interactive way for fans to state their appreciation. The original forum used a different software engine to the one we use now, which is why I think nothing carried over.
There were no catagories in that forum. The banner was a black and white warriors logo with red blood splats across it; then just a list of thread titles underneath.
This new engine works a lot better We've also had 2 experiments with shoutboxes in the past. First time was a disaster. Second time was better but it developed software problems after this site got hacked and wouldn't appear on screen anymore.

I never did state the starting date of the original forum. First forum on this site was concieved way back in the summer of 02. Thats around the time I became a regular visitor, using college internet access instead of doing coursework. Yay for neglecting education.
