"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.

Heh. I was going to reply in detail.

Then I thought "The wobble bottom is actually taking pride in being laughed at by everyone. And that point about security has been answered in detail already, and he's doubtless read it already. The fat fool. Whilst his desire to see Iran invaded shows he's a racist butterball who wants to see his White All American Army invade another nation of brown people."

So I decided not to bother.

Tell you what Bell; we'll see you again when the Tories become electable, eh?

Heh, I can see it happening. I had to stop myself from debate-replying to him. Light doesn't have a hope of avoiding it ;^)

If you too want to talk dirty to each other, please, get a room!

Don't be silly, it's just radar. Like bats, but all the flying around in circles is even more pronounced.

*Goes back to trawling chat forums for his name*

Oh, but first, hey Bell, how's it going?

*Hugs Bell*

*Slips him the tongue*

I really hope Light or someone doesn't link to an unanswered topic from way back. Actually, I can see this thread turning into another Belldandy v the world fiasco.

It's funny how these long forgotten members just magically appear when people post about them. Kind of like they spend much of their time scanning through these forums for any mere mention of their names. All this without ever posting themselves.

Such a terribly sad practise.

It was in the Nintendo Forum I believe.

What on earth do you mean, Belldandy?

He stated one of his favourite moments on the site, not all of them.

Wow, thanks Snuggly, a completely contradictory post though. I apparently had nothing worth saying, yet around about one year after even being relatively active on the site I still merit two paragraphs and no one else is mentioned.

And I was right, scores of you argued that increased security and various counter terrorism exercises in the UK were mere propaganda tools used by the current government. Oh. Dear.

See you all when Iran kicks off eh? :P

I was brown-nosing Grix.
Not goaty.

Say it from me, too. I had many a good conversation with him on MSN and he even threatened to drive to my place and take me to the cinema.

I can't see any brown-nosing going on in here.

Remember a lot of what is being mentioned however, shame there is a big gap in my knowledge due to disappearing for x amount of months/years. Oh well :]
