"The complete history of UKchatforums.com"

I often think about the history of these forums, and how things used to be. That's not to say they've declined in quality over the years, but as with most things, you keep them going long enough and you'll find people complaining that things ain't what they used to be.

Anyway, I got to remembering some of the good times while bored at work today (a regular occurence) and yeah, it might be a bit sad, but some of the memories really did make me smile. UKchatforums.com must be my most visited website ever (still my homepage) and despite it just being a collection of poorly-designed .gif images and text-speak, sometimes it genuinely manages to make me laugh out loud (LOL).

So... in the spirit of one of my Shiznit lists, I want your top UKchatforums.com moments of all time, from throughout history - it can be favourite users, brilliant moments of realisation or just your favourite threads. I'll get us kicked off with a few memories that brightened up my day.

THE BELLDANDY SAGA - I've never had so much fun berating someone over the internet as I did with Belldandy. Probably still floating around somewhere under a newly mysterious (very probably Manga-related) username, Belldandy was NEVER WRONG. Even if he was, he wasn't. And if he really was, then he'd run away and not come out to play, until the next time he was wrong. It came close to bullying at a few points (I used to get his emails) but it was coming from both sides: Goaty, Light, Pandy, myself and others (all anti-war and common sense) versus the one man righteous army of Belldandy.

The Belldandy saga reached a hilarious conclusion, when on one of his many mysterious reappearances under another nick (HALO Fan), he was sussed by the lot of us and nevertheless proceeded to dispute it for several months, despite have all the curt mannerisms and blind flag-wankery that good old Bell had. It stopped being fun when we finally saw a picture of him on Special Observe, then realised our physical name calling was disturbingly prophetic.

There have been others, but none as more fun to bait as Belldandy.

Dan2K1 was the kind of guy who would write a 5,000 word review on a memory card, and mean it. See, what I didn't tell you lot, was that if you got on my nerves in any way, you'd be unofficially black-balled. It paid to be nice to the Snuggly.

I swear that I used to post a hell of a lot of (I hope) thought provoking stuff, and debates off of the back of it.

Now I seem to spend most of my time here screeching at idiots.

I think I need to unwind...

Dan2K1 was hilarious. Unintentionally. He'd complain about not winning all of the time. His posts and reviews were incredibly long, and very dry and matter of fact. The guy didn't have a sense of humour at all.

Seriosly, check some of these out:

And a classic Why did I not win?

That's the one where he totally loses it, calls er-no an f.c. threatens to pull his ears off and, I quote:

GET THIS: they didn't even consider my post because they didn't even read it because they stink of evil monkey.

And he wrote this: Dan2K never bloody 1 - he'd won loads of times.

Worth reading that thread to see the way Tony came on and told it like it is.

Ah the first FOG story.

Yeah, my wife bought it for me for Christmas.

Loved the news article - "her erotic reign of terror"

I predict the first 3 levels will be great fun, until the cries of "we need wood!", "we need fooood", coupled with the fact that our creature is out of reach, cause the disc to go straight back in the case for ever and ever.

I just read that and it makes me want to install Black and White again.

Perhaps not, there's a new game out soon isn't there ...

Didn't someone's girlfriend buy it for their birthday?

Well, we were all five years younger. Can't believe some of my naive, exclamation mark happy posts. Notably, I didn't link to any of those. ;o)
