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.

I still wonder why he called himself Belldandy after the female character [URL]http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=belldandy&fr=FP-tab-img-t-290&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8[/URL] of a manga (comic) which then became an anime (japanese animation).
And no the only person using a manga (comic) name now is me. My name is a character who's cursed and turns into a girl when splashed with cold water, hot water turns him back into a guy. I wouldnt mind that curse. :)
I havent seen Cub!st for quite awhile.

Anyone remember the notable election when Kyz nearly won? IB just beat him.

I still like monkey_man's cunning ruse of getting users to click on a link, which made them inadvertantly post a new topic in their name with the title 'spank my ass and call me Dave' or something equally amusing.
I believe he got banned for that, then came back as 'the ghost of monkey_man'. Great days.

This is a pre-JFH era mate, when my name to everyone else was everything from "maddun" to "mad mum", but never "maddmun", as my actual name suggested.

"Your Munn" was always the best. ;)

That's the way I remember lame jokes coming off. They just don't work :).

Boo.
I can't remember much from the past.
I remember when every second post was a spoof of some sort (Usually by Drunk Cow), and that's it, pretty much.
Oh, and looking back at a lot of threads, how crappy I was (not as if that's changed, but whatever).
Oh yeah, and every thread I made was a complaint that no-one could spell my name right.
:-(
