While I don't hold the record for age here, I'm wondering if I might be the earliest joiner still here(?). It was so long ago that I'm just not sure anymore - sometime in the mid-to late '90's. I'm pretty sure that the site wasn't called BGOL back then. The old address I used to enter to get here was "online-video.com", where they had a vast (for then) collection of Black porn videos which took FOREVER to download pre-DSL (14.4kbps!), back when I was still running OS/2!! From the video page(s) menu you could access the "bulletin board" which was (or soon became) BGOL. This was YEARS(#?) before the member-database failure where everyone had to re-join and all of our previous history was lost. That old address STILL (re)directs you to BGOL!
