Well Solandia's first post appears to be 5th August 2001 at 02:09 GMT - a reply to the previous posts about the rebirth of Aeclectic.
Now I agree that what we would love to know is the time when Solandia got Aeclectic up and running again. It looks from the thread that several previous members had been doing daily checks, so it doesn't look like Aeclectic was (re)born again as far as the membership was concerned till around the time of the first post of this thread.
However, this also suggests that the main site could still be accessed for at least some, if not all of the time that the forums were down. Again should we take the main site as the true Aeclectic. in which case the May 2000 date looks more probable, or did it 'give birth' to these forums, which were born on the 4th August 2001 - so which is 'Aeclectic' - the main site or these forums?
