Trivia Quiz as a way of preserving history

[QUOTE=Lee Spurgeon]Dear Friends:

Since the old forum and therefore the old records are gone, here is a trivia quiz to preserve a bit of our history.

[QUOTE=Lee Spurgeon]Dear Brandy:

I think you would know who had 1000 posts under two different user names if anyone did. On the fewest words to reach 100 posts, I completely forgot about Clyde the Yooper, you get extra credit for that one.

Lee[/QUOTE]

Guess that would be Brandy and her evil twin Brandy 2. I honestly thought there might be someone else. Forgive my senility.:D 😀 😀

Remember I have “CRS” Illness- Can’t Remember Sh_t:p

Lee, I actually had over 6,000 posts as the Evil Twin and the Good Twin.

This is really bad, I started the thread about Princess Suzy but couldn’t even remember the name of it………………..where is my memory?

Debs,

That was “The Quest” to bad that story is now gone, I used to go back and read it every now and then. We had so much fun rescuing Princess Susi.

The other stories were quite fun too.

And let us not forget MYRT AND THE VANDELLAS, our doo-wop group.

Cheers,
Marge

Hi,

Let’s see how really good you people are in this. The last forum set up wasn’t the original forum. There was one before that which I was a member of, that was the original. Who and how many were on the original forum, then came to this last one we had? Yes, some of the people listed, were the first to sign on this last forum format change, but certainly wern’t the first to sign up on the forum as a whole. This is the 3rd radical change in the forums format, which existed since the mid 90’s here.

4. Who had the most posts on the old forum? No surprise here:
Dawn~Lynn 10610

Hi Marc, and Lee:

I was on the site sometime after the onset of GBS in Nov 2000. There was a site then but I do not rembember much about it.

Jfitzen (GBS — Going Beyond Survival)

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][COLOR=”Indigo”][SIZE=”3″]Hi Friends::p

I think one of the first on the old forum was “Lou” – I’m sure some of you remember him – he ended up having a stroke and we never heard from him again. I do believe he played a small part in the “Suzy” story and also, one thing I remember about Lou (cuz I wrote a poem) after 7 years, he could wiggle his toes – which proves there is no time limit for things improving with regard to GBS.

Another thing I must remind you about Lou, when he stopped wearing his AFO’s, he buried them out in the garden and also, his commode went out in the garden and planted flowers in it. Does anybody else remember him saying this – he was a riot – he made us chuckle.

Did anybody ever hear from Lou or his wife?

Hugs, Myrt [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

Hi Myrt,

I do remember Lou. You and I have talked about him these past years wondering about his health. I also remember the poem you wrote for him and his wiggling toes. He was an inspiration to alot of people. Lou and I e-mailed each other alot, then like you said his wife posted that he had a stroke. I tried to contact her through the old forums, but without success, the message was that he was not accepting any e-mail anymore.

I often think about Lou and what might have happened to him. He was a sweet guy.

We did have fun didn’t we in “The Quest” to find Princess Susi my little sister. I use to make Susi laugh with my long drawn out Queen of Sicily title.

As Archie and Edith Bunker use to say “[B]Those Were The Days”[/B]

Where’s that Dan Juan Murphy, Susi’s protector and Knight Sir Dan? I sent him an e-mail last week telling him to come back to the forums.

5. Which two individuals had the most posts per day on the old forum?
Dawn~Lynn @ 9.65 per day
rosebuddozen @ 4.87 per day

6. Which individual on the old forum tried to become a Senior Member with the absolute fewest number of words actually posted. No Clue

[SIZE=”3″][FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][COLOR=”DarkRed”]Hi Brandy:

Thanks so much for remembering Lou too – I didn’t realize you e-mailed back and forth for awhile ….. I remember that he was tall (6’4″) I believe.

I often wonder how Lou made out too – I tried to find out through Trish one time but she couldn’t find out anything and perhaps her hands were tied for saying anything if she did.

Like you say, Brandy, [B]”Those Were The Days![/B]

Till we chat again,

Hugs, Myrt[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

In the words of Tiny Tim, “God bless us, everyone.”

I beat Shannon I am happy :p

I am thinking I could get in trouble with the red-headed stepchild crowd if I used that one Lee. So how about, Shannon works for a living so therefore I was easily able to post more then her :p

[QUOTE=Lee Spurgeon]Dear Jerimy:

I think you may wish to rephrase that last post. I believe that last statement violates the physical violence sub-clause of Section 9, Pagagraph D, Item VII of the secret forum guidlines. As a suggestion, you should say something like “I defeated Shannon, my self-esteemed has improved.”, or “In a non-competetive manner, I am proud of my acheivements” or “I beat her like a red-headed step child”.

The rules are here for everyones benefit. For example, I take delight in ignoring the rules.

Cordially Yours,

Cadet Lee
Junior Auxilliary PC Police Force[/QUOTE]

Lee,

Wait a minute weren’t you the Mayor last week? I think we should make Marc the “Chief of Police” who runs around in a squirrel suit.What say you Marc? :p :p :p :p

donna,-mayor-police chief one in the same here in toledo!!!!:p

jerimy, did you get the first smack in or what?! i can’t believe shan would let you win!!!;)

No worries, Shan never lets me get in the last volley, she is just home from work and therefore hasn’t seen this yet. I fully expect retribution at some point 🙂

[QUOTE=angel2ndclass22699]#14 jethros’ avatar was a figure juggling, dawn’s was a rose. there was also a thread about who we would throw off the island-similar to survivor series.[/QUOTE]

That was my favorite thread “Throwing People Off the Island” into shark infested waters. We reserved that for nasty people. 😀 😀

I think Ali was particularly fond of that thread too.

Lee,

A trivia question and I think you might remember.

[B]How many users online back in March 21, 2004( oh crap, I think that was the date)[/B] It was the most users online in our forums.

Waiting for an answer.

Oh crap again, I lost the numbers. I think it was 148.

I have got to get off this prednisone, it’s making me like a crazed woman.

😮 :confused: 😡

I thought it was 148 also

Lee,

We never broke the record. In a way I am glad about that. I also wish that we didn’t have to have so many members and new members, even though it is nice to talk to other people, I just wish that it wasn’t for an illness.
