RecentChanges only goes back 90 days.

But Special:Log goes back alllll the way. The first log entry is Goldentamagotchi and Osumesu21 being promoted on 2007-04-29.

The database dump on Special:Statistics is usually the most reliable way to find info about wiki creation - except that it doesn't contain deleted pages.

The dump says that the first page created was File:Favicon.ico - created by User:Default on 2006-03-16 - which matches the date on Special:WikiStats

The first page created by someone else was Tamagotchi Growth Chart, created 2007-04-29 by you, Osumesu21.

The creation date of File:Favicon.ico should be correct. It appears that File:Favicon.ico is no longer included in the suite of default pages, but the pages added by User:Default all the date the wiki was created.

Are you sure you actually created the wiki yourself? The Rights log entry seems to indicate that you adopted it - and the database dump seems to indicate that the creator made no edits, which is not uncommon.

edit: In 2007, User:Angela would normally leave a welcome message with the person who created the wiki. The fact that I can't see one is interesting - can you check Angela's deleted contributions and let me know if there's an earlier deleted edit?
