History of the SKMB?

**Perse Jr.** · May 22nd, 2009

I'm really interested in learning more about the SKMB. When it was created and who the original and first members were (I've got a couple ideas about this based on the Prolific member status) to sign up.

If anyone would like to share some history or funny stories about the Board from "way back when," that would be great!

Hi,

Me too, especially from Ms Mod and the Beta Testers.

Long days and pleasant nights

Anni..... remember trying to "stay on topic" . Who was it that spilled the yellow paint on their carpet and we kept talking about the Green Mile as suggestions were made to clean it up?

Roller Derby...........................

Uh...that yellow paint on the carpet was me.

And yes, I admit it. I couldn't stay on topic if my life depended on it.

Remember when you logged into the main page and it asked you if you wanted the New MB, the Old MB, or the Old, old MB? I can't find that page now. Is it gone? Deleted?

Why wasn't I informed?

There were some pretty funny things on there.
And by the way, Perse, these posts count numbers are just our posts from the NEW MB. Our old post count wasn't carried over, we had to start back at one. (Even those who didn't change User names

)

Wow, so it's possible that the people who are close to or over 1,000 posts (by thousands!) probably had that many before? Wow! Who has the most posts to date do you think? Mr. John D.?

This is the fourth(?--even I've lost count) version of a message board for the stephenking.com site. The first one was not a threaded board so was a bit disorganized which didn't help anyone for staying on topic.

Many of you who were with us from the beginning will remember my frequent response of See the FAQ which lead to Stephen's version of Read the FAQ, Dammit!! We then went to a threaded board but it didn't have all the bells and whistles that this version does. All of the versions have been moderated and posts have to be read/approved before they go live. If we'd had the post count from the first versions of the Board, there would be a lot more prolific members and possibly some Uber members (over 100,000 posts)
