What is the first module uploaded to ModArchive?
« on: August 28, 2021, 05:22:39 »

First of all hello everyone, I am new to this forum, although I have had a ModArchive account for not long.

What is the first module uploaded to ModArchive?

As far as I know, ModArchive is from 1996 ... I came across a module uploaded in 1995, how is that possible?

ModArchive went through many different code bases. Most probably the very first version from 1996 didn't store any upload date, so a later iteration of the website which added upload dates simply took the file modification date, which could be older than 1996. Just a theory but it's the most likely explanation from my point of view.
Sadly there appears to be no web.archive.org capture from 1996, but you can see that in 1997, there was no indication of the upload date so I'm afraid there is no way of telling which of those modules was uploaded first.
