History of TRF?

I've been around for about 9 years (though I took a couple of pretty long breaks when I kind of lost my fascination with watches), but, it occurred to me tonight that I really don't know the history of TRF.

When did the forum start, what was the impetus for it, did it start on another platform? Who are the longest-term members of the forum?

I know everyone will agree TRF did not truly exist before I joined.
