DSF: Where have we come from? Where are we going? What the f**k are we gonna do when we get there?


For some reason, I had the idea of coming up with a definitive list of events in the DS.com forum's lifetime. Having only been active on the forums properly since last summer, I can only put in stuff that happened from then to now, so I would like to encourage that 'pasty-into-first-message' thing. Note: This will probably fail miserably.

2002

- [at some point]: Danny Stewart Forums version 1.0 come online. USS Tetryon starts

2003

2004

- June 2004: Chris Britton and Ross Hendrie join the forums.

2005

- [2005 - 2006]: USS Tetryon ends. Forums may have been inhabited solely by Chris Britton, Danny Stewart, Ross Hendrie, Bajoran Rogue and Ronnie Rowlands.



2006

- [August 2006] Recurring Villain joins. Chris Britton, Jez and Dalek104 become a Moderator and Admins respectively

2007

- [Before Summer 2007]: The great reign of RV as a moderator ends with RV temporarily leaving the forums until mass demand forces his return. The War against the Dolts - The Dolts (Daryl, Sam, some others) vs Danny plus some others. It ends in a victory for Danny and the others.

- Summer 2007: LOTTL leaves much of the community in shock and Danny petitions for it to be erased from cannon. Murray And Keff sigs and avatars run rampant. Chris suggests how to survive a Zombie Uprising.

- Late Summer 2007: Murray And Keff sigs and avatars begin to annoy some members, leading to mass protests and parody. Eventually things quieten down, and people start to argue about the difference between Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, whether each has a spellchecker, and whether Danny will set up a Teamspeak server.

- November 2007: Superkid11 gets an iMac. Cheers (mostly) all around. Demonoid shuts down, community mourns and rumors of DS.com's move to Sweden are quashed. DS.com Top Gear-style show proposed.

- December 2007: Chatbox returns, meanwhile, snake-fondling. Everyone forgets entirely about Christmas, except for Ronnie, who can't afford a cigar. DSF turns 5 years old


2008

- January 2008: Ben gets an iPod nano, Danny confirms the Wikipedia article for Ethernet Crossover Cable is his favorite place on the entire internet to host files.

- February 2008: Chris Britton starts reviewing games. Ronnie starts doing video rants. Rat has an operation, Chris passes his driving test. Ronnie engages in battles and is banned permanently.
