What would you include?  (just little caveats and anecdotes that made it a fun ride)

I would say definitely Jarmo becoming the lead on things early on, running HTGTH.  Maybe then the breakup into other forums like this one.

James' quote about "If CD comes out this year I'll eat an elephant turd and post it on youtube" guarantee, lol.

I recall on HTGTH there was a poster Mike Giulani, he was from NYC & told me he was a union plumber.  I think he broke his wrist at work, and would post constantly, probably was on some serious meds, but I think he had like 30,000 posts in about 90 days (maybe it was 10,000, but it was definitely impressive).  Then he just disappeared. I'm guessing he went back to work, although I hope he didn't OD. Anyway I'd see his post count go up like 50 within an hour, it was nonstop. Pretty crazy. He & I dm'd a few times, so sorta knew him, then he just dropped off.

I guess the RussTCB thing here, BringBackAdler getting banned what, 3 times? was pretty funny.

Axl signing on as Dexter the one night.

This was a small event, but made me laugh.  I recall one friday back in 2005 I think were talking about the label & all, and one said he'll call their phone number and ask to speak to marketing.  I read it and scoffed, but they did seem like dumb high school kids, so who knows if they did it.  Anyway one posted a little bit later he called up, got the front desk, and just asked 'hi I'm calling for the marketing department'.  While it sounds far fetched, who knows if its true. He said he got thru to somebody, and just asked 'Hi, can you tell me if Chinese Democracy is going to be released this year?'.   I don't recall the response, but it did seem like something an employee would say. Probably not someone very high up answering the phone, and they just said something like 'At this time I cannot comment on a release date for that album', but they read into it that it is still in the pipeline, and not given up on.  Anyway it just made me laugh that someone was sitting in the desk or cubicle, and answered the phone and it was just some posters from a guns n roses forum, lol.

Oh yeah, the whole Mister Sainte Laurent thing, wtf.  An amateur wrestler swindling some demos and leaking them, gosh, who saw that one coming?!

Bumblefoot actually posting was pretty kind of him.  The tumbleweeds during the DJ Ashba years, gosh I logged on & it'd be months since the last post.

It was a fun ride.  Anyone else?
