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.

Ah, genius. I was such a complete dick ... should have been banned, really.
Stryke pounded on me, then he apologised when I was good and won GAD, now we pound in eachother.
Good times.

Good times.
Azul's tantrum when he didn't win GAD for his sketch of Tonty.
Excellent.
Excellent.

Oh, sort of modifying sessions, SR should have made the session codes dynamic rather than static?

No, worse, you had access to everyone's addresses and membership numbers :D.
You could even log on as staff.
I was going to log in as Tony to prove a point, but I thought that was taking it a bit far, so I logged in as a notable, with his permission, instead.

No, nothing that complex, just a little bit of cookie modification :D.
Everyone had a little encrypted number in their cookie to register who they were.
But the links on each person's name on every single post had the same number you needed to put in the cookie to log in as them, so, copy paste, you became someone else.
I was Grix Thraves for a while to prove I wasn't lying, but no one would believe it, so I posted how to do it and got into trouble :d.
