First question you asked the board

This was a fun(ny) question. Just interesting to think about. I thought it would be fun to see what you all asked the board! If you're embarrassed about your first question, maybe say one of your early ones. :)

How do I not stress as an incoming freshman? CLASSIC! I was 17 when I asked that. A year and a half later I would be a Board writer. Weird! And yes, I did use the nym "Mico" before becoming a writer. Lots of dumb freshman questions, ahhh good times.

I really wanted something to be open all night in Rexburg. At the time, there was only a mexican restaurant that was open until 2am. McDonalds wasn't even open past midnight then and Walmart still closes at 11pm. They're building a new larger Walmart in Rexburg, but even it won't be open all night.

From 2007, questions about how to protect my laptop and data while spending a few months overseas. #tbt to when a 4 gig thumb drive would cost $40.......

That's the first one that I have under my account, but I remembered asking this one a couple of years earlier, from before you had to be registered to ask questions: http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/16516/
Warning: It probably contains a bit of a humblebrag.

Oh man, wet blanket. Was it ever revealed which writer that was?

That wet blanket answer was wonderful. :D Did you take the advice from the Board? Interesting first questions everyone!

Shrinky Dink, Rexburg sounds like a very... quiet... place. 2 a.m. is pretty late, though! It is interesting BYU-I's honor code says you have to be in your *own* apartment by a certain time. Just interesting wording.

Emiliana, great #tbt. You were going to just take CDs, craziness. I remember being so excited to put my assignments on CDs in high school and get those cool colored CD cases. :P (In elementary school we did floppy disks but we didn't really have assignments, it was like "do a drawing in paint then bring it to class.")

I know I asked some really dumb questions (mostly I tried to be a "clever" asker) but this first one of mine is only a little obnoxious: https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/39539/

I've been bobtheenchantedone for more than a decade now, so it was an obvious 'nym choice.

This was my third one. The first two were not very interesting.

I did, however, ask some paper questions back in the early 2000s. But my first online questions were in 2007.

yes! it... was me

I did eventually choose one of the guys and we dated for over a year. Uffish was my roommate and she helped encourage me to not be misleading :-).

- Logging out of Facebook. Lame question, classic answer from Optimistic..
- Peach-pineapple salsa. Still love it.
- Scholarship eligibility with tons of AP credit
- First question with my nym, about an art display in the HFAC. Settled on the nym in 2007. Fun fact: there was a a writer who hadn't survived long with "Portia," but no one seems to know who she was. So I added the "of Belmont."

All these are from 2006, which I think is a bit earlier than most, here.

First online question, rejected. Actually 25% of my first dozen questions were rejected:
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/66624/ - Suggesting Alumni Association as possible home for the board
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67536/ - Inquiry as to Commander Keen's status
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67653/ - Inquiry about renaming Popular Questions to Popular Answers

First writer answered question:
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/66625/ - Katya!

Questions in first dozen where a writer earned an Editor's choice for answering:
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67072/ - Worm origins
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67537/ - Writer lifespan and boardboard afterlife
https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67748/ - lagrange points

I read for a number of years before actually asking a question. The possibility of the board going away broke through that barrier for me and I've averaged about two questions a week since then.
