Yup, same list for me as well, though I'm not sure if the Hall of Shame was originally here when the board was created in July. I just don't remember. If it wasn't, strike that from the list.

Same as the OP. I remember there was always a great gnashing of teeth everytime a new forum was suggested :)

edit: oh yeah, there were only two or three usergroups then too.

PSW, SW vs ST, and whatever other ones were the ones that were here when the board was first created since I've been here since the first day. (As many may have noticed, I love bragging about that. :))

The Hall of Shame was not original to the board, it was created in September. I arrived here on the first day, when the board was a barebones.

I don't recall the politics forum being here when I joined, but that would
be the only new addition I have been here for.

Can't remember to be honest, I lurked since about November, so I saw the Politics board being set up, but I dont think anythings changed since I signed up, other than Politics becoming News and Politics.

And I suppose that goes to show that I'm still a newbie... :D

You should have done like me and registered right away, then lurked for months, and after that start posting that way you could brag about seniority like I always do. :D

I've been here since Day Two, and the original forum selection was as follows IIRC:

Star Trek vs Star Wars
Pure Star Wars
Science, Logic and Morality
Off-Topic
Announcements
Testing

And that was it. Other Sci-Fi, if I recall, was added about a week later...

From what I can tell, Other Sci-Fi was created on the fourth. And SLAM was around on the third, but I think it was created partway through the day, because I think I remember a discussion about its creation. Or I may simply be wrong.

I was here since day one lurking and registered about two weeks later. One of my first posts was the first chapter of Starcrossed whoch spurred people to post their own fics and thus fanfics was born. The HOS was born as a consequence of the Donkey raper invasion. Politics was born thanks to George W. Bush and his policy on Iraq. PST was born through the lobbying efforts of Trekkies like Alyeska and TheDarkling. Ahhh....the memories. This place has had its growing pains and ups and downs like any other instititution.

IIRC, SWvST, Pure SW, Fanfic, other Sci Fi, SLAM, and OT. Also, announcments and testing. At the time, there were no private forums either.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
