I can almost remember which forum was closed because of the flaming stuff, and as for the rest of the questions, I'm stumped.

Didn't even know there were two Scotts...

No one can answer even one? Shame. Maybe they are too hard.

I'm disappointed with myself for knowing almost all of the answers.

Wrong on this one!

Wrong.

Wrong.

Oldbeane

Wrong.

Who was the second owner of ZU?

Lars

Wrong.

Good job on the others though, however I think some of them might be up for debate.

Crap, I think I got KKL mistaken with some other position.

May I have another try?

Lars was the first owner, and then Lee was the second (???)

The "Anime_Queen's bro" question is a trick because she had two brothers here, the other is Rudi/Rudolf. :3

That's right! But you've only answered half the question regarding Lars.

What was Serious Discussion called when it was first created?

Was it actually called Internet: Serious Business when it first started up or was that just a one-time joke?

I didn't even know that...

I'm participating in the next ZU awards for the first time in a few years to nominate this as best thread.

Oh, right, his pseudonym.

Umm, this is totally going out on a limb here, but was it larscism or something like that?

That's his AIM name.

It was Anakin, I think.

Ahhh I knew I had seen it somewhere.

Alright, I'm stumped now. Do you know the answers to all of those questions?

Edit-

**** me, it was Anakin, I should've remembered that.

Close enough, it was -Anakin.

Correct. Hasaki it was!

I:SB was the actual name of SD when it started. Correct!

I was close enough with the Serious Business... >_>

I love this thread

And I still think it was better since it meant people didn't take it as seriously. God-damn.

No, it was called that because of all the flaming that occurred there. However, this was not the board that I mentioned in my other question.

Are you sure? I'm sure it was just 'Serious Discussion' when it first started, and then was changed to 'Internet: Serious Business' at the same time that every other forum had its name and description changed as a joke (the Technology forum's changed description has remained since as well). Then when everything was put back how it was, Internet: Serious Business stayed for a while afterwards, and then changed back to Serious Discussion.

I could just be remembering this all back-to-front though.
