Watershed moments in SDMB history; or, the SDMB Anthology Project

…yeah, and I remember when some acronym named himself my behavior evaluator.

As I recall, one of the first mega-threads on the post-AOL SDMB was the “Prayer at Graduation” thread started by Cessandra…it numbered several pages and was very heated…

It was quite a moment

Nah, I just searched all titles with “SDMB” and “likes” in them.

The great fatherjohn suv meltdown…

So, why did Satan get banned? Was it his total disregard for all laws of copyright and intellectual property?

Self-immolation.

IIRC, Satan got banned because he kept posting when he should have gone to bed. He painted a huge target on his chest and dared the mods to ban him by becoming increasingly angry and defiant. It worked. :frowning:

More than one person around here has done the same. Hint: If you’re getting all worked up and people are saying, “Dude, take a break.” then you should probably take their advice and go feed some ducks.

Wow, you remember that one? I’m stunned, as it was my OP. Here is a link to it.
JohnJohn was the one with the “thing” for Hilary Clinton’s fat ass.

As for Phaedrus and the Phaedybucks, there is still one mystery left, that NO ONE will answer, and I’d really just like to know the answer. Whatever happened to the Phaedybucks, and Manhatten? Truly, I just want to know, I harbor no other feelings than curiosity. Last thing anyone would say was that he could not answer, was in some way restricted from answering. Not, “I don’t wanna” but “I can’t”. Why?
Drainbead and Satan are still getting married, last I heard. They are still on my AIM list and I see them once in a while.

Hey, who could forget Mike Masterson aka Silo? I forget why he got banned, but he sure was a jerk! Every single thread he started had to do with his dick, the size, the girth, how it flapped in the wind, whatever. :putz:

I’m curious about this, too, of course.

In the thread where Phaedrus admits he will pay, he also states:

From what Phaedrus said, my guess is that he included a provision that restricts people from answering what really happened. Still, though, I wouldn’t complain if manny were to buy a round of drinks in NYC …

Oh, sure! Take all the easy threads. Anyone can read BBQ, MPSIMS, IMHO, GD. It takes a village to read Comments on Staff Reports. So you might not remember Mad Hatter.

And I can’t believe that Up the Butt, Bob starring Libertarian hasn’t been mentioned.

Yeah, well, here’s where Esprix owes his tm : http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=925842#post925842

I was drinking at the moment, BTW :slight_smile:

Oh, and fyi, before DopeFests, there were DopeStocks

Perky Dan.

HAHHAHAAAHAHAHHAHAHA!
He had another name before PerkyDan, but I can’t remember what it was.

Has the “trained statistician” been mentioned? Or the guy who was 1/16th Indian and never failed to remind everyone of it? God, I hated that guy.

I remember JDT! He made me giggle. And the Nazi groundhog thread was the first thread I ever read on SDMB.

I’m curious about the Ms. magazine thing someone mentioned earlier. What was that about? I tried to do a search but Ms is only 2 characters and just using “magazine” didn’t turn up anything.

What about …ohhh…what was his name…some guy who had a web site that we would trick each other into opening. Some guy in a…I remember **JaxAshby ** or something like that.
For those not in the know, JaxAshby was a guy ( 40’s semi-fit) who seemed to think he was God’s Gift To Women and had pictures of himself on his websight that were…well…a little too much.

Not a watershed moment, but a part of our sick sense of humor.

Our finest hour
Polycarp’s in trouble!

This is one of my favorite threads. It certainly wins the prize for Biggest Hijack Ever.

I don’t know where this was supposed to go, but it didn’t.

Try here :slight_smile:
