(I'd post this one on JR's, but with the exception of the L Position and Zbu-Land, the microbes are out to
take the place
nuff said.)

What I think would be kinda cool was to create a feature in WWYK? talking about the site's history, it's
evolution throught time, how things have changed, etc. The "Institutions" and the "regulars" would feel proud
(I think), and it would definetely set these forums apart from all the other "faceless" forums out there
And speaking of history, I've been diggin up old stuff and I came up with a few questions. Mind if ask? Of
course not; here they come:

1)Who were the original creators of WWYK? Is there any matrimonial thing goin on between the creators?

2)Who were the first Zookeepers, and what is the order of the admission as Zookeepers

3)How (in the world did they admit) that guy from the Table to be a Zookeeper?

4)Any WWYK? monsters who have disapeared but left a legend? (And where the hell is that Doc Holliday?)

5) There seem to be two "fases" in WWYK?. One "before" and one "after". Am I wrong? If not, would anyone
care to explain?

I will be awaiting your answers in suspense...

Zach started WWYK. She and I would play a car game when we were kids. We pick and TV show and discuss who we would off. We played it for about 15 years. Then we played on the way to Long Island with her then Boyfriend, LBJ. He was amazed by our little game. We had never thought anything of it. A couple months later there was the web site.

Is there any matrimonial thing goin on between the creators?
Zach and I are sibling. LBJ and Zach got married in June. They are currently on their Honeymoon.

2)Who were the first Zookeepers, and what is the order of the admission as Zookeepers

The first moderators were LBJ, Myself, Lotus and Captain Grant. There was an un-moderated forum called 'Talk amongst your selves' which Zach and Zbu fought for control over. Ultimately, they both got their own forums. For a brief stint, Silent Bob had a forum. You see that amused me, because silent bob didn't talk. It was a "quit forum." It pissed people off so I took it down. Then I made Slacker a quasi-moderator. He had the status but he didn't have a forum. After a little while in moderator pergatory, Slacker was finally given a forum.Soon the Good Captain left us and went on his merry way to countless adventures at sea.

PunkflowerGirl moderated Slackerville while Slacker tried his damnest to impregnate the female population of Italy. When Slacker came back, He proudly reclaimed his thrown a top of Mount Slackerville. Soon things got messy. Both PunkFlowerGirl and Britt were given new forums. Then PunkFlowerGirl and I had a bit of a falling out. That is all I am going to say about that.

The Captain returned with tales of life outside of WWYK. We rejoiced. In order to unsure that Captian's table never went empty again, I made Tostito a co-moderator. This summer with my sister wedding and their big trip to Europe, it was decided that we might need some more moderators. Fatjohnny and Mosrite were recruited.

I think that gets us up to speed.

3)How (in the world did they admit) that guy from the Table to be a Zookeeper?
What kind of stupid question is this? Tostito keeps the place interesting.

4)Any WWYK? monsters who have disapeared but left a legend? (And where the hell is that Doc Holliday?)
Lamer, Fritz and She is not a monster but there is still some bruises over the PFG situation.
Other Legends (not monsters) Big Black Boots and Kylee.

5) There seem to be two "fases" in WWYK?. One "before" and one "after". Am I wrong? If not, would anyone care to explain?
First, we had a message board type system, and we would ad a different message board for each show. It was a Crude and primitive system. Nobody really paid attention to it until Captain Grant came to fight off the forces of Captain McEvil and his Spiteful Lepers from Dimension X. We soon up graded the Disscusion board, to give Nick and arse boy a place to get their agression out in style.

Then we also updated the main page a little while later. Originally we only had one active episode at a time and the past episodes were archived. Then LBJ used some of his HTML wizardry and we have the kick ass system we have up now.


As for a history page; I had started working on writing a profile for each of the moderators and setting up a page very similar to what you just mentioned.

over and out, roger wilco and all that

edit to say:
Boy oh boy, I can really be long winded.

Well I'm really glad that For Whom.... asked as I'd been wondering a little about the history as well.

Thanks for filling in the gaps.

Well, why didn't anyone ask? I mean, it's not like we in power are just inaccessible, is it?

Then take some Nuprin and call your doctor. With enough time, you can catch it in time.

Good question, Bell! Sounds like a damn good idea to have a page devoted to explaining the origins for any newcomers to the boards. Rocket...well phrased explanation, sweetie. Though you did forget to mention a few other MIA's...all in all...top class!

So, with the Moderator History page...will you be needing input from each of us?
