Yeah, I thought it would be interesting to start this thread, itsd be awesome for the people who have no idea of all what happened from 2000-now.. Ive only been here 6 years and a month and know a lot, but some have been here the whole time, so help me in this peeps


A few key moments that others can and should elaborate on

2001-2: The Nancy McKeon Craze
When FOL came to Nick at Nite and The Division came on, Nancy McKeon had a HUGE cult, to the point where saying you didn't like her, made you an outcast, and hating her made you worse than the worst person in the world.

2002:Nate Bush
This was also the year RainMan came, some loved him,while others hated him,most did, his constant threads about Last of the Summer Wine, writing letters to the cast,vagina M&Ms,sending him money, his AIM chats that no one wanted to be in, LOL I was in some.


2003: Pics in sigs gone,fights, Dorothy and her countless usernames, I wouldnt be surprised if one of the current most posting members is actually her, come on Mikey, spill the beans ;))
Anyone who was here before summer of 2003 knows that pics in sigs were allowed. That chnaged,mostly because people would put too many picsi n their sigs ( me in 2002), too big of pics in sigs, and lots of text,and ascii art and blends,marquees, blinkies, some sigs as long as an enitre PAGE), members even threatened to LEAVE because of it , there were fights too, mostly on Chit Chat, so many, Random Posts was closed for a while, who can forget that whole BrandonSex Pervert ordeal?
Ah yes, Dorothy, great name eh,sounds like she was a great person right? WRONG A MUNDO! She was mysterious, she had like 7547545459475903 screennames, got in fights with people, some people arent sure if that was even a girl. She was a WEIRDO, more than that actually. I last heard that she is registered under the name Mikado (KIDDING, KIDDING LOL) ;) ), but it was also the start of the original 4 random groups, The HD Mafia, The Night Owls,Crystal's group,and the Party Thread people.

2004: Invasion of the Pre-Teens, Trolls, Fights, People Leaving
In 2004, it started a whole new era of pre-teens, soem of hwo are now 15 and 16, actually most were FULL HOUSE fans, now theyre not, people were annoyed by them, and everything, Thats So Raven board invasions by the Charkony gang, Trolls like I am Him, HankNick, OU812 and omega 2 and tons more. More fights, parody threads leading to fights, Free AKA thread, some people leaving and making a new board, political argument BS, etc.


2005: New Board, Miss Golden, Chuck E Cheese threads:
Not much in 05, except the new board, Miss Golden and her wanting to crossover this board and some wrestling board. The constant Chuck E Cheese threads, TERRI ALDEN HATER and her beauty queen threads, and not knowing if she was a guy or girl.



2006: SMURFTRACTORS!: The HD gang is BACK IN ACTION, as the SMURFTRACOTRS, and our American Idol obsession, writing American Idol: The Sitcom, new members, members leaving etc. Chit Chat changes in a BIG way

2007: Same stuff as late 2006: New members,we were mostly on MSN, etc. etc.


2008: We're back! and what could happen next We dont know :D

Is Mikado Dorothy? Is Monika related to Holly? All that and more on the next

Sitcoms Online


;)


What I forogot, cause I KNOW there's more,you can add

Don't forget that TJ closed the politics board for about a year. :lol: I don't even remember when that was anymore. Maybe 2005? I know it was open through the end of '04. Then he reopened it, but kept it out of sight to the general public. You had to request access to the board yourself for it to show up on the page.

God, I don't even remember anymore. :lol:

And yeahhhh, 2004 was CRAZY. I was here the whole time and it still boggles my mind. As I recall, Janice was appointed CC moderator that year. So she had a LOT of work on her hands... Kudos to her for all the hard work!

Nice idea, but please play nice. No reliving past fights. That only leads to present fights. Thanks.

Memories. :lol:

Since I haven't always been a member here, I admit out of boredom it's fun to read some of the old threads and discussions. I think it's a good way to get to know your board members. :)

:lol: that is SO ironic. for the past hour i've been looking through my old posts and collecting some of the best ones to post as a myspace blog.

i hereby declare 2004 on this site, the year of sarah. because that was when i pretty much ruled this place with my sheer randomness.

here's a post i made in 2005 that could be relevant to this thread.

heh, remember when everyone threw a tantrum and claimed they were going to leave the boards just because images were disabled in signatures?

(if this were "family guy", a flashback of everyone whining and yelling at TJ over the "deaths of their siggys" would appear, and there would be no exaggerations or extra satire thrown into the scene because it's hilarious enough as it is)

or the time a certain elizabeth montgomery fan left and said she was about to shoot herself and told another member that she wanted her dead all just because this 'villain' made an LJ and sort of role-played her?

(flashback of the two members speaking in their posts made towards each other during holly's last few days here, only this time there is a bit of exaggeration to the extent that would not have been surprising; in the background, the song "last resort" by papa roach is playing on holly's cd player and she is shown crying, mascara running down her face, and cutting her wrists with a chain saw, and next to her is a suicide note she had just written that reads: "to everyone on sitcomsonline.com chit chat message board - as i slide the chainsaw down my wrists, i become farther away from all of you stupid people and closer to liz, whom i've never had any interaction with whatsoever but love with all of my tortured heart more than anyone i actually know. i hate you." all while kristina is playing with a yo-yo and trying not to laugh)

the good old days.

2003: Pics in sigs gone,fights, Dorothy and her countless usernames, I wouldnt be surprised if one of the current most posting members is actually her, come on Mikey, spill the beans ;))
:eek: Ummmmm no, I've never had any other username than Mikado....and I'm all Guy! :crazy: In fact, not only is my adult pic in some threads, even my baby pics are in here, and they show ive never been a girl! :lol:

Mikado you look like Peter Brady in that 14 yr old pic :)

2003---a new member called mr roper arrives at the board. :D

The fall of 2003-John Ritter died. The whole board was in mourning. I remember all the threads about him and just about everyone had a John Ritter avatar up. It was so sad. :(

AH..............................2001 and 2002. Those were the times!:lol: I remember good old Nate and the Nancy McKeon wars. What fun times we had!;) Oh and remember Cara Oatmeal? I think that she changed her name at least 6 times but she never fooled anyone.:lol: She was a trip and was banned.
I just have to say that this board has been so much fun even though I don't post as much anymore. Thanks TJ for the memories!:wave:

2004 was SO's The Odyssey LOL

It's been an epic seven years!

how about that guy on the different strokes board that asked all of us if the gooch was ever seen on the show and then about 20 people who were longtime fans of the show . including myself told him no and then he kept wanting to know if we had proof of that besides the fact that some of us here had seen every ep and knew the anwser . he was strange

Mikey, I swear from the first time I seen you in that pic with the dog, you have always reminded me of Peter Brady. :lol:

LucyFan: "The Facts of Life" made me GAY!

Oh MAN. I totally forgot about LucyFan! He was quite the character. :lol:

Oh MAN. I totally forgot about LucyFan! He was quite the character. :lol:

Oh wait, that was me! LOL

You my friend are in the Sitcoms Online Hall of Fame.

And not just for all your usernames.

;)

I remember the year 2003 as the year that ALOT of celebrities died. That was the year we lost John Ritter, Art Carney, Fred "Rerun" Berry, the guy who played Wilson on "Home Improvement." Plus many more. It got to the point where I'd come to SO and would be surprised if someone DIDN'T die. Which is a sad thing to say, but that's how it was back then.

As for fights and stuff, I mostly tried to steer clear of the drama. I come here and enjoy talking about sitcoms and other stuff. I'm not very good with confrontation and I always end up feeling extremely guilty if I do argue with someone.

Good times, good times.

Nice Pictures:wave: :D

I miss being able to put pics in my siggy.:(
