Could you tell me what the first topic on the Lichess forum was?

Does anyone happen to know?

This is probably not the oldest, but it's one of the oldest threads: https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/how-could-this-happen

A post about en passant! I am pleased.

The oldest I know of is this, from 18 Oct 2010: https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/thibault-do-you-realize-all-of-your-players-are-from-4chan

It was "This teenage player Messi - will he be as good as Ronaldo when he is fully grown?"

It was soon followed by "Does putting pineapple on pizza constitute a culinary faux pas?".
