    Sadly the very first Yahoo! Answers user's account has been deactivated so you shall have to settle for 'sloppy seconds'.

    The second user on Yahoo! Answers was a staff account under the name of Ofer who worked on designing the very first Yahoo! Answers layout.

    Profile: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Au_0qT...

    The first non-staff member to create an account was user Tata927 on the 29th June 2005 during the testing stages of Yahoo! Answers.

    Profile: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Au_0qT...

    While I'm here I'll also show the first (remaining) question posted by user Tim, again a member of the Yahoo! Answers staff testing team who asked the question:

    What is a good Korean BBQ restaurant in the Bay Area?

    http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai...

    The question was posted almost four years ago and is the third oldest question left on Yahoo! Answers after the first two were removed.

    Now how did I find these records ?

    Well for one I have had them saved in a word document for over a year (after all I have been using Yahoo! Answers for a long time) however looking at the URLS of these profiles and questions, the reference number (i.e. qid=1005070500003) is the indicator here. The first question started with 1005070500001, and profile pages use a similar reference system.

    You would need to ask a moderator, and they would have to look up question #1 through 10, and see what ones are test questions (to get the bugs out) and what is the first user asked question.

    Actually if this is question # 20,090,119,222,916 you can just change that number to 1 and see what comes up!

    Good Luck !

    Wow that would be awesome to know. I think it's impossible to find out since YA doesn't have a proper "date" iirc. You know like a question may be asked "2 years and 34 days ago and 23 mins" but YA will just say 2 years ago.
