How long you been on the bboard?

Just a quick survey to find out who all have been here for a while, and who all have just recently taken the slide! I've been lurking in one form or another since 1998, but I know that there may be some still here that go back to the original board, though I forget the name of it.

P.S. Does QBall79 still post here?
I have always been here...

insert evil laugh here.
My first sliders board was the MCA universal, thou I didn't post there anymore frequently than I post here. I posted a few times on the Fox board back then also. I was just getting into the whole b-board thing and happened upon the universal board early in the second season.
Of course from what I have seen TF is the earliest B-Boarder still posting.

Maybe late 1998, but I really don't remember being here for many (if any) Season Four episodes.
But, then again, I don't remember being a newbie with the premiere of "The Unstuck Man".
I'll say 1999. I'd check back for my first post, but its been purged...
Wow. This is my 4th calendar year...?

Hurried posting strikes again! As Hyperspace noted, I actually started lurking in the Sliders community back in late 1996. My first post was at the Universal MCA Netforum on 3/15/97 if memory serves. I'm not the earliest still around, though. WrongArturo (who posted here in the last few days) was posting at MCA in 1996 if not earlier.

I'd say early 1999. I really didn't follow the show very intently during the Fox period. mostly because it aired on the weekend all the time. then I watched the Making of... show on Scifi and kept on watching. Because scifi reaired each episode several times that week, which Fox did not. I was able to keep up.
Then there was rerun hell. And then in I guess April/May 1999, when Revelations aired and nothing more. I didn't know what the heck was going on. that was such a bad season ender I didnt think the season ended!!! Bill Dial to thank for that one.
so I came to this board to see what happened and learned Jerry o'connell was off the show! i was not happy. i kind of here a little while then gone. Got into some bouts with some of the regulars. a lot of fun!!
Really this is the ONLY message board I have ever used regularly. I think this board and all of you people on it over the years deserve a lot of credit for that! this board is a real testiment to it, because it has remained very viable for so many years. if you include the MCA/Fox boards, that's quite a long time
Well...

I first posted on the Fox board around the time Sliders was canceled after season 3 (that'd probably be May of 1997). Back then, I was still undecided on my name.
I quickly switched over the the MCA forum and posted there until it was taken down (though it was later replaced by a new system, I never took to that one)
On this board, I posted probably within a couple days of it opening, but dropped out of it until the MCA forum went down. I didn't want to make the move, but I did (met good people here too, I must say).
I made up the name "Informant" for the Fox board. It's been with me since. Of course back then, I stumbled with "Informer" before realizing that sounded stupid and switched to the more mysterious version.
Before that, I did post on the Scifi boards, mostly in Star Trek related threads and under a different name. Me and Star Trek fans never meshed too well though.

Having found it just after season 4 started airing in the UK (We got it first! That was the sole purpose of my website!!), which I was on holiday in France, visiting Futuroscope. Yes, I can remember that much about how I found it. I also remember that when we returned from France, there'd been a power cut and we hadn't recorded Just Say Yes, which I still haven't seen as it has not yet been repeated.

BT has been on this board too long.

My first post on this board was on 02/26/2001 but I had been lurking here for a little over a year before that, probably somewhere around the time when the final couple of episodes were aired. You probably could have surmised that I don't go WAY back just by my handle.
Speaking of my handle and the episode it is taken from, I had gone back to look for my original post (to verify at least that I had the right month) but I started looking in the wrong year at first (2000 instead of 2001). The point is that I ended up re-reading some of the posted reviews of "The Seer". Needless to say they were mostly of a negative nature and while I don't have quite the negative perception of that episode that those posters and others do I really got a kick out of some of those reviews. Ah, those were the days when there were new Sliders episodes to bash!
Well....

The Seer negativity & Sliders Chat room!
Date: 01/05/2003
From: Grizzlor
funny you should mention that! One of the reasons I wasn't much of a presence for almost a year after coming here (I too read but didnt post early on) was there was such a massive flow of rumors and spoilers and I hate knowing spoilers. Temporal Flux of course got the Seer spoilers like before the season started that old fox! So many of us new the outcome, I didnt because i refused to read them. Really the negativity was do to the Cliffhanger ending that was given. nobody liked that. The writers strung us along all year and resolved nothing.
I was also a regular during 99-00 on the Scifi Sliders chat room. I had a good going with a lot of folks there. A lot of us, still here and not, would discuss the show there and not post anything. In fact I remember a day/night in July 1999 when news was spreading the show was cancelled. Quite a riot in there! I also recall a "Quinn15" whoever he is now, just blasting JOC on a mission to mars chat on AOL i think. Quite humorous.

I've been posting since 1998 I think, back before I had Sci-Fi and was relying on a friend to lend me his Season 4 tapes. It was also in the days of Expert and his site, always chock full of rumors and news about the proposed 5th season. Anyone remember "Sleepless in San Francisco?"
I still read the board obviously, but post very rarely anymore as I don't have as much time as I used to.

Started at MCA, moved to BBoard when it opened, but wasn't a regular poster here until the old Netforum finally kicked the bucket.
Remember "Sleepless in San Francisco?" I remember when Executive gave his review of "Slither" and called it a return to the alt-history roots the show because of the throwaway line that tobacco was illegal on that world.
My first post was to Syrup to tell him to shut the fuck up over gloating about getting the most questions asked at a JOC online chat. He had asked questions like "What did you and Charlie wear for Halloween?" instead of questions that might actually elicit interest.
For the record, JOC and COC raided the wardrobe department and went as aviators. Thanks, Syrup.
