You've done a good job in creating and managing this forum, it seems to me.  Congrats.

Thanks...I have lots of help, couldn't keep it going without the mods and other helpful members.

Group hug!!

[not your typical...]

Group hug!!

Even though I'm a newb, can I get in on the hug?

[Buddy]

He's kind of like Lord Voldemort?

Most likely derived from Asmo, same with Sauron and others.

The wisdom of not sharing your evil plan through monologue with your nemesis, a hard won lesson for Asmo.  All young evilgelicals now benefit from gratuitously cruel behavioural therapy to prevent them blurting out their plan.

The Norway story was his cover story, that he is merely a somewhat disturbed human living in the frigid Northern wastelands.  

It is rumoured he hast taken physical form and is gathering an army of polar bears and blaming their disappearance on global warming which is actually caused by his vast volcanic forge.

I have warned him that some are suggesting his deeds are derivative of other evil geniuses.  
He seemed to take notice but I'm not sure if he's called off his immaculate conception plan, he really wants a mini me he can order to suffer a torturous death and then zombifie.

I'll trade cheap Swedish Cheese and Danish beer for my pet polar bear. It would go great with my moose.

Hahaha. Then we could have polar bear play dates. That'd be fun.

'course! You're part of the group!

Yay! *bounces while clapping swiftly and grinning wide* Now I feel all loved and accepted.

[Tank]

Whitney created her account on the 22nd June 2006, which marks the start of the forum, she is account number 2, number 1 is 'Anonymous'.

[McQ]

And then there's Tank, who has done tons to improve things.Although lots of people have worked hard on the forum, and helped it to evolve and grow, Tank dug deep into how the forum works, and discovered all kinds of stuff I never knew existed.

He's like the James Brown of forum moderators (that would be James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, who was also called the Hardest Working Man in Show Business). Except Tank isn't dead.


So many changes over time. This grew from a teensy little forum into the juggernaut it is now (it's not really, but I wanted to use that word so badly!). We've had some really interesting people come and go. Some we miss, some...well not so much. I think we've really learned how to deal with trolls very well.

I appreciate the various members and the unique viewpoints I've been exposed to here. I've been able to disagree with people on topics and continue to interact with them regardless, in most cases. That's a good reflection on Whitney and the job she's done, and the membership as a whole.

I can tell you a part of it, the story of how Asmo became a part of it anyway.

Asmo originated in a happy dimension where he had been attempting an evil take over for millennia.
He failed in the end, he took too much pride in his evil deeds, required to much artistry of himself.  Although his evil was innovative and won many awards, there just wasn't enough of it.  His physical form was destroyed but his essence took refuge in the HAF forum.  No one believes the Norway story do they?

I believe the Norway story.  Slarty Bartfast is my brother.

I miss the habit of switching to a discussion of shampoo whenever a faithhead started preaching.  That was fun.

Who's to say you still can't? I think I would enjoy this talk of shampoo instead of hearing someone preach at me about how I'm going to hell.

Well at least give the staff a chance to sort the problem out (if it happens at all) before you head for the hills!
