"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.

So I'm sitting here, doing absolutely nothing at 1:38 in the morning, refreshing the thread to check for new posts, and I'm wondering why I left SR.

Hm...

So how have you guys all been? Nintys still at it or have they given up yet?

Ah, that explains the "I don't know him, but still familar" thing.


Aye, but DJ was bit of a lamer name, moreso than this one.

Thanks Gaz, actually I did get in to Uni, but Imperial College seemed like a waste of time. Remind me, where did you go in the end? ;-)

Penis comparisons aside, actually I got a desk job doing PHP for a sizable some of money. These days I live with my girlfriend, play lots of World of Warcraft and generally try to avoid my past :-)

Me too.
Although I diagree with the edit part.

If that sounds a bit gay, it's because it is a bit gay. Very gay, in fact.
Oooh ... Grixy Grixy ... he could love you in so many ways.
