P.S. All evidence with which I am familiar indicates that Mark Serlin and Oat Willie were two different people. (Of course on the Internet who can really tell?)
I would guess Chronos, which I think is greek, and he really knows his physics. Sorry, I haven’t been around long enough to have another good question. Can someone help me out with one?
Very good silent_rob. Who has the next question?
Who was the first Mod on the SDMB, and what forum was first established? The second, etc.
Bah! For some real trivia action, meet me in #sd-trivia!
Educated guesses: TUBADIVA, ATMB, and IMHO is, IIRC, the most recent forum added. Last Mod added was, I think, Alphagene.
Now time for a stroll down memory lane . . . who was the only Mod to be de-Modded, and why was this? A link would be useful, as I’m asking this because I don’t know the story.
WAG: I believe that the first mod was CKDextHaven, and that the first forum was either the Comments forum or ATMB.
There have been three mods that I know of to be de-modded. Nickrz, Euty, and Melin. Nickrz and Euty resigned, and Melin was demoted. There are several versions of the reasons why…just do a subject search on “melin” and you should find everything you need to know.
As much as this will condemn me to be on his bad side, what was the SDMB name of Satan’s former girlfriend?
Heatherlee.
Which poster was named after one of Plato’s Dialogues?
This is an easy one, but lets see how many remeber it in 5 months. What was Mr.Cynicals shortlived alterego, and where did he first make an appearence.
Who was “The Finder” in search of?
Mr Cynical was Phædrus!?!
oldscratch - Portnoy. Not sure where he showed up.
psycat - The Finder was in search of FORMERAGENT. Supposedly part of the CIA or FBI or something. Or am I thinking of something else?
Here’s another easy one:
What was Ursa Major’s former screen name?
Great thread for us stay at homes!
Giggled over Twist’s “bless his cotton socks” comment so close to stumpers about Eve–a true board star who shows no sign of burning out, btw. She’s the first I ever read (in a thread about makeup, IIRC) who used the phrase “little white socks”. Needless to say, she used it with surgical precision.
Hope these are in the spirit of the OP…

what poster rated a near smiley-level hatred in nearly every one of Chief Scott’s posts for a long time?

which brief, incandescant (and very weird} poster was the Yeti in Guy Stuff?

Ursa Major was once known as Papa Bear…

That was brithael - he bites you know!
Whose pregnancy related details, leading up to the birth of Christopher, inspired me to join last july?
Ooh, I think that was PrairieRose. Am I right?
This is fun. I am trying desperately to think of a question, but I can’t.
::still thinking::
That’s it, boli. Prairie Rose is the mother of Christopher and she and Shirley and I (and a few assorted pop-ins) talked pregnancy and early babyhood for a while before little Chris was done coookin’. 
Howzabout this’n:
While a certain Doper meeting might not have been the very, very first, the “minutes” thread about this small gathering was the inspiration for Doper gatherings that have occured since. The question is: Where did this gathering take place, and can you name at least two of the attendees?
