"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.

Ahaha.
"Hey, I know how to break everything ... here's how you do it ..."

Quite possibly.

Hedfix did you make a post once asking what to say to your brother because you saw him snorting a line of coke off your kitchen table?

Bonus: Some kind of SQL injection?

The worst thing to happen to me on these forums was finding a security flaw in the website giving me access to EVERY user account.

And then getting into trouble for bringing it to the attention of the staff, but posting exactly how to do it on the forum :D.

I did get a free GAD for being a genius though.


EDIT: Some things never change though.

Game is still an annoying Brummie, he's afflicted for life though, poor guy.

Sheepy still smells.

Goatboy is still some sort of local hero.

RastaBillySkank is still an annoying little boy ;).

And Dringo is still a fanboy who finally realised Nintendo suck and went on a fire raising bender :D.

"Cardboard Tube Ninja"
I loved that so very much.

I meant 'fix and Ali, by the by. Both possessing an amazing inability to just let things go.

He was a staffie. Anyway, here's a great topic that I forgot:

I briefly departed from these forums during the age of BERADS.

So unfortunately I don't have an idea who he is/was.

For those of you who want to reminicse about BERADS, here's the thread where he was called it:

Eh?
