Gothick, you're probably right. Going down memory lane, sometimes memories get misremembered..lol.
I started posting on the SciFi Dominion Board on Halloween 96 and pretty much stayed with it til they purged the last DS Boards in 2006, then came on board here after membership reopened. The great thing about SciFi was posters were allowed to create their own boards, even it was for a show not carried by SciFi like Bewitched. That board was created later on and was purged not long after the entire series was written up. Had to be very frustrating. Over time, there were a bunch of DS Boards... as soon as 1 would get crowded with posts, another one would start. I don't even remember who did all that. The older boards would remain accessible, a marvelous archive. Another fun board which MB adopted was the captions. Sci-fi would run screen grabs in real time for each show on Sci-fi. Because we didn't have Sci-fi for nearly the entire run of DS, it was my way of staying up with the show and the daily postings.
My best memory is organizing a boardster meet up at the 98 Fest in Vegas. It was really cool matching up the faces with their handles in person. I still have a group photo in our club photo album. I do remember but never met Ashenrider... he really had a thing for KLS lol. And on the trolling and hostilities. I wasn't affected directly and not privey to all the specific ugliness but know it got bad enough to involve the police. Looking back, maybe I should have bailed on the Sci-fi dominion too but it's where I first started online and felt an attachment there. It did split off the DS fans into 2 separate online camps and I wasn't able to replicate the meetups at later fests. But the dominion is long gone and the forums board is still here and going strong. Repeating what I said after the big crash and downage a huge thank you to MB and Midnite for everything they have done and continuous to do for over 20 years. Wow.
