You’re kidding right. There were hundreds of regulars on SSSF and a bare few here. MAny are on the FB page

bob(from black rock) said:

Many didn’t shift over to the Holiday Forum. I was locked out at work until recently when they gave us extended internet access

it was lively with all those other people

most of them were mad of course

Some went across to the SSSF Forums

So of the current regulars, who has the longest history of SSSF activity?

you are dealing with non compos mentis – insults are part of the bargain here – or anywhere else on line

That was my guess (or the other D person (and not me)).

Martin B would be another possibility, although he’s more of an irregular these days.

I have a lot of good friends from the forum.

I first visited the old SSSF forum and SG in, I think 1999, or maybe 2000, but definitely by 2001. Maybe around the same time that Kursk submarine went down. Dunno.

My first SSSF thread was about dingoes and I was shot down by 4DSpecs. I will never forget that name …. 4DSpecs!

4DSPECS!

Seriously, what sort of name is that? :)

Never met anyone from any of the forums IRL.

I’ve met a small amount of people including morrie, who I miss seeing here.

I started before we moved to Penshurst, and that was 2001. I think I was here in 1999 or 2000 but not really avidly here quite as early as that. My first question was about why Tasmanian aboriginal people were still darkly pigmented when they were so far South for quite a long time. I wondered if it suggested the ozone hole was a really longstanding feature of the Southern Hemisphere. I can’t remember if I really got many answers or not.

I think I started in Scribbly around early/mid 2002. Then I ran away from there when the Hunter Valley vs someone else shit storm got way out of control. I thought I’d be safer in sssf. Boy was I wrong :/

(Takes notes)

I wish I could find that thread again.

Being a newbie, I wanted to create some discussion but failed to provide my own opinion first. I can’t remember whether you had an opinion or not, just that you had a big gripe with the thread.

Since I can’t recall ever being offended by you as TRD, I may now need to set my grudge free, dammit :)

absolutely not

its like the scene with spock and kirk in the ring fighting each other

an old trick is to allow your opponent to turn his back then leap onto his back sink your fangs into his neck sucking his life out

• an old trick is to allow your opponent to turn his back then leap onto his back sink your fangs into his neck sucking his life out

First, you gotta shriek like a woman and keep sobbing until he turns away in disgust. That’s when it’s time to kick some back.

The oldest post I can find that belongs to me was June 1999. I’m fairly sure I was around a year or so before then and DV was already part of the furniture.

Cymek said:

Not always.

So, you’ve won the argument. You turn to walk away. Then, you stop and turn back, saying:

“Oh, and you must give me the name of your tailor. So that i can avoid them.”

Jeebers, we’ll be soon be claiming priority like those ‘First Fleet’ wankers.

We’re going to start calling everyone who started in the 20th Century Sir, Sir.

2002 for me, I think.

i’m still here and that is all that counts. you lucky, lucky lot you.

‘bout the Ides of March plus three in 2003 for me. Not much more than a mere stripling, I was.

I am not sure, I think I was in Sydney at the time. When was that time everyone had to reregister names, I lost my original name at that time.

Early 2004 for me.

Took me nearly a year before I was comfortable to meet any forumers in real life. First one was Michael V & Mrs V on a visit to Perth. It was just a few days after the Boxing Day Tsunami, and it was the topic of conversation – we were sitting outside in the beer garden trying to estimate the height on the buildings over the street and trying to imagine if one was coming down the street at us.

I have only been modded once, and it was a ricochet modding for posting in close proximity to someone who displeased Kylie somehow. No correspondence was entered into, and the whole incident was never explained. It remains a mystery.

No not a modding name change, the whole forum, everyone had to reregister.

All of my bans were the same, but three strikes and you’re out.

I got no warning, no strikes, no response to E-mails, and had no idea what I’d done to deserve the smiting. Pointing these things out didn’t seem to make any difference.

The whole episode was a joke – As was so much of the modding on that forum.

once as chrispen and they banned bogsnorkler because they thought it offensive. lots of correspondence entered into. was fun.

One was a coven shit-fight that I got home from work and stumbled into the middle of – everyone got banned.

One was a shit-fight about zoos.

One was a remark regarding experiments in nano-thermite to determine the explosive properties of the substance. Got Geoff D a perma-ban too. I felt sorry for him.

Never, ever banned.

I’m a fucking angel!

Me too, but I would never have considered registering an offensive handle like “Bogsnorkler”. Sheesh.

the birth of that name is a story in itself.

Someone here goes off occasionally, new names. Telling everyone to get fucked, starting threads with abusive titles. But generally gets ignored.

I think it is the same one from the old site, same MO. It would be intersti g to find out who it is.

It’s the same character who was making SSSF unusable in its last few months. He peeps in here now & then and we ban his latest handle and lock the doors.

Roy found out who he is and gave me his name & address (lives in Hobart), but I’ve never felt inclined to look him up :)

Same for me. I did my early morning hellos, went to work and later in the day found I couldn’t get onto the forums. I have no idea what the problem was. I had referred to The Hypochondriac Whinger, so I emailed and asked for an explanation, and pointed out that if that was their problem they should note that it was a registered nick. Never got an explanation.

I believe CS was about ’98/‘99, myself and Junglenut were introduced to Scribbly Gum in 2005. I stayed with SG while Junglenut moved over to TechTalk..

First people to meet IRL for me was the Adelaide mob, Fire Orchid (Freak), JJ, Ilago, Andronicus, Neddles & Neo, Karloskar and a few others that just escape me..

She was a cruel and capricious God, as they mostly are

I know the big Melbourne pud, making sure that piggy buggered off, was held in about March 2000. So I was on SSSF some time before that.

I would have been the late 90s. Was well and truly part of the furniture when the twin towers came down, but there was already a well established coven by the time I arrived.

I moved to my current office in 2005 and I was on SSSF a year or two before that I think. I joined after I had a “discussion” with a moon hoax conspiracy theorist and I wanted to know if there were any telescopes that could see the lunar modules.

The question went into moderation and I never saw any answers,

I guess we were Coven 2, kii.

I was around SSSF for quite a long while but can’t remember how long.

Dropbear said:

I missed it too.

It was stupid and childish.

So was the dark orange stuff (at least until I figured it out, anyway).

I started when it was just one long thread. Long before velvet and mutant. I have enjoyed meeting all the people I have met over the years, except one. Many of the people I have met through sssf are very good friends now. I even went to a wedding or two and have accommodated traveling visitors many times. They are all part of the family history.
