What is the real date?

I can never figure out what is the real start date of the Network.

When everyone conversed on Yahoo!, I hated with a vengeance the pop-up ads and rubbish they imposed, as I had a treacle-slow dial-up connection at the time.

I'm sure I was one of the first half dozen to start using the Network, and if memory serves that was sometime in February 2001.

However, something happened that caused a transfer of data to another server, and the early accounts were lost. As I said, I was one of at least the first 10 to abandon Yahoo! and use the Network, but my membership number does not reflect this, I think I am listed as member One Hundred and something.

So is there an official Network start-up date?
