Didn't it start on July 4, 2000?

I found my way here and started lurking about mid-way through BB1. I remember reading the LFPs when Curtis did his Trinitron dance, and I loved Eddiesleg. I'd gotten the live feeds but nothing exciting ever seemed to occur while I was watching. I found it more convenient to read the "good stuff" in the LFPs and skip over the mundane happenings instead of being glued to my computer hoping that the shenanigans would occur while I was watching.

I finally signed up and got my password 7-26-2001 during BB2 and posted a few times until 9-02-2001 when I umm sort of got in trouble over calling Nicole a bad name, go figure, and got myself "evicted." Came back in as Fanny on 9-21-2001 and I've been a model poster ever since. :)

I am amazed at how many of us lurked for so long before actually joining, LOL.

Admin, when did you start the board? How long did it take before you received the letter from CBS?

I registered the name bigbrotherfanclub.com and started the original site soon after Big Brother started on TV. Best I can tell, July 10 was the day I registered the name, probably started the site on July 7, as that's the earliest file date I can find from the original site.

I got the letter to Cease and Desist on July 24, 2000.

I think I joined in July of 2001. I was SO new to the internet. Meet Tess, War, and Lance in chat. War was learning to paint folders back then, and they had mine looking pretty good. They taught me some of the ropes...Thank you! Remember watching the live feeds and chatting, that was the best, and lots of laughs! I MISS the good ole days! Dh just doesn't understand chatting, so I don't chat very often now. But my kids know I post here and they know my nick. This way I don't feel as if I'm hiding anything.(He has heard to many stories of people misbehaving on the internet)

My nick was in honor of a very sweet niece(we called her "our little social butterfly")who I miss, and love.

I bought a computer this past summer, always loved Big Brother on TV, typed it in - found Big Brother BBQ , clicked on their Live Feed Updates.
. . Hello, Clubhouse! Lurked ( thanks to tvch posters I knew the word lurker, lol ) for a couple of months, and joined in Sept 2003.

I think I also joined in July 2001... BBII. Lurked for a while before that, posted a few times in the BBII threads (under another name... I think I started again with this name about a year later.)

Thanks Admin. I know I started before July 24th then. I knew you would be able to pinpoint that date. :)

Ooops, then again, maybe you received it and didn't tell anyone about it for a while.

Oh my. I just downloaded the archives for BB1 and have been glancing through them to see if I could fine me even though I very rarely posted back then. Ya know, reading through stuff- the whole board had a different atmosphere/personality back then. We're much nicer now it seems. Maybe it's familarity :) I also saw some names of people who I thought we a lot newer than they are, some old names I remember that are now gone, and some that are still here that I knew were here. :) heehee. This is fun.

I have no idea whatsoever...it was one of the BB, it wasn't the first...but have no idea if it was the second or third. Can we just make one up if we don't know???

You know, I can't imagine not watching BB or Survivor (or any of these shows) without an online discussion board.

I know I must have gone somewhere during BB1. I wonder now if I lurked here during BB1 and finally joined during BB2?

The earliest discussion board I remember for a reallity show was Survivor Sucks. Maybe I did BB Sucks (I think I remember one). Maybe that's what brought me here. I can see myself asking the CBS chat room if there was a site that liked the show, rather than the Sucks boards.

Kaili, didn't you have a much longer name back then? I think I've seen it in my scrolling :)

Tess, I'm not sure I remember! lol Maybe Draheid1. Yeah, that's it!

(Or maybe shell or shelb or something along those lines. I wasn't horribly bad, just minorly bad...of course!) :)

Draheid you are just awesome! Thanks for taking the time to figure it all out for us! I know I lurked long before I posted, but you got further than I would have!

Dear Dra,

Ummm, will I suffer consequences if I answer truthfully? :)

Dra, how are you finding these so quickly? I can't even find one of my posts in the old BB archives yet!

Reiki was Stormywhatever in chat? I don't think I knew that. I always liked Stormy, AND I like Reiki. Imagine that!

Yes Juju. But I was neither Stormy, nor Whatever on the board. I was Stormywhatever Those were somebody else. Evidently I wasn't MissKim either. I was Kimber1011 as opposed to just plain Kimmmber who was somebody else. That's why I became Reiki. :)
