So. What went on before I joined (two months ago)
This doubles as a thread for newbies to find out the stuff they have always been just dying to know.
The history of BSG
Well the great Troll wars had just ended, with 500 members irritated to death.
And then followed the plague of naff puns, the damage caused is only just being recognised.
Before BSG 'Sitcoms' were called 'Comedic Moving Pictures on the Televisual Electricity Box'
Shame though, the BCMPOTTEBG has a nice ring to it.

The contributors to the "Premonitions" thread talked about you endlessly!

Short timeline:
Mark set up the site in about 2003.
I started writing guides and things just as stuff was taking off in early 2005.
Mark and I began making plans for the site in late 2005/early 2006.
Board launched in August 2006.
Those are the highlights.
I joined about 18 months ago and Aaron has been trying to get rid of me ever since.
Oh - and I made several good writing partnerships here too.

March 2007 - EllieJP joined.Those are the highlights.
Awwww thanks Aaron. 
Some point 07 - Ruby joined. Made a nice cup of virtual tea and promoted peace and love. Aaron classed her as a whore.
A friendship was born!
Ruby, you also joined in March 2007. A whole 9 people before Ellie.
And I'm a relative newcomer too aren't I?
