Forums is 5 years old today based on first topic post, looking at how there are no other posts before that day.
For my timezone, the first non-vetex/system posts were on the 18th tmr.
This was the first post made by someone who wasn’t vetex or system (at least from what I could find from searching), about 6 hours after the vetex/system posts:
