Really, it started in 1999?
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 01:16 PM
This site was made in 1999? I thought it was made in 2001, because the earliest I've seen a user sign up was 2001. Maybe the site came in 1999, and the forum didn't come until 2001?
Actually Happy Days Online was first and it was going to be just a Happy Days site, and I guess TJ decided to add more sitcoms in 1999, then started the boards in 2000
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 01:17 PM
I dont think very many 2000 members still post here :lol:
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 01:32 PM
Oh nice. Everything starts with the almighty Happy Days! :lol:
No I'm just kidding. I didn't know that CJ, thanks.
LOL my rgeistartion started with it, so maybe youre kinda right
Youre welcome!
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 01:38 PM
Yeah, you were one of the first few members on the site, right? I wonder if TJ was, besides him, who was the first member to sign up, and if they still regularly post.
No I wasnt tons of people regostered before me, I registered 20 days before TJL :lol:
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 01:39 PM
Most likely lol. You're probably right. In fact, I haven't seen any. I thought I saw TJ signed up, was 2001 but I could be wrong. Obviously he is the creator of the site and came here first, but maybe my eyes deceived me or he just signed himself up late.
He registered February 2,2000, so thats when the boards started.

I think TJ started SO in early 2000. That's when he made his first post. No matter, Happy 9th or 10th Anniversary. :)
Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 02:21 PM
Oh ok, cool. Then my eyes deceived me lol.
Damn lol. You seem like one of the first users/people to register for the forum on the site, because of your registration date & number of posts :cool:.
Yup
LOL yeah, well the random board,HD board and the CC board and sub forums all had to do with that, plus the CC board on the HD board that lasted a year.
Actually TJ started the boards in 200, the site in 1999, and HD Online in 1997

Oh nice. So this construction project or site officially is 11 years in the making lol. Unbelievable how time flies by. Are all the MODs and admin- are they all TJ's personal friends off the site or how did that come about, choosing mods and such? I'd like to know, interesting.
None of them know each other personally. TJ is admin cause well, duh he tsrated the site, Pav cause he posts TV schedules before anyone else, Seth for his graphics, and Janice cause of what she did with this board, those things. Choosing mods usually happens when someone asks to be a moderator for a board. SOME of the moderators for diff. boards dont post much or at all anymore. I asked to be one once and it didnt work out, but oh well.
Ive been here...WAY too long.

SitcomsOnline launched on January 19, 1999. This version of the boards came in February 2000. Before that we had the old style boards at insidetheweb.com from 1999-2000. I remember posting there like it was yesterday. So 18 more days til the big 1-0! Doesn't feel like 10 years ago!
Some history... as Cactus Jack said, Happy Days Online started it all on May 12, 1997. Then came sites for Diff'rent Strokes, Gimme a Break!, Mork & Mindy, The Courtship of Eddie's Father in 1998 then mini sites for Hello,Larry and Please Don't Eat the Daisies before Sitcoms Online launched. After SO launched, full sites for Webster, Hogan Family, Silver Spoons, Family Ties,and Facts of Life were created, along with many mini sites.
My Jack's Bistro website just celebrated its 10th anniversary in December as well. Can't believe it has been 10 years...December 1998.

Cactus Jack
01-01-2009, 03:21 PM
That's interesting. I thought they all knew him personally, or at least one or two of did. It's ok- too long or too little, it's all good lol.
Btw, I know this is random but I saw you like and watch Happy Days yourself CJ, did you get the 4th season on DVD? Just curious how it was.
Maybe this is a call for a PM.
Well I dont know one of them might have met him once.
I do/did, I havent gotten it yet, I plan to soon.
Maybe it is, cause I have some crazy HD stuff to share stuff having to do with the board back in the day

There was a very basic message board in 99-00 though.
I remember there was a "test" version of these ultimate bulletin boards that opened on 2/2/00 before that date. I know I helped test it, but I had to re-register since it was redone. That's why it says I joined 2/17/00.

Happy 10th SO! I don't know what I'd do without you. It made me feel less insane with my show obsessions, gave me something to do when I was bored, people to chat with...the amazing friends I've met here. I've been a lurker since 2001-2002 and finally registered late in 02 under a different name than I have now. Some interesting times here. Here's to 10 more! party:
Also, congrats Pav on the 10th of your Jack's Bistro site. It was one of the first TC sites I discovered when my interest in the show started.

It's going to depend on whether we just get upgrading vBulletin to the new version (3.7.4) out of the way *now* (in which case downtime will be longer) or put it off (in which case there's a shorter downtime, but there'll be significantly fewer benefits to the upgrade for now besides the new theme)

Congratulations on ten years -- that's fantastic!!
I surfed onto this site two years ago and have enjoyed my visits ever since then -- thank you for giving us a place to meet up with other sitcom fans to share information and memories.
Looking forward to many more sitcoms and many more years!! Lee
