Answers To The Mother of all Bored History Quizzes
I have looked over the answers of everyone who replied, but wasn't about to attempt to grade each BB's answers, so you'll have to do that yourselves if you wish to know how well you did.
Given my tendency to get really verbose with my answer posts, I'm going to do what Pea did and post the answers to the questions in several segments, which will also keep me from having to find about 3 or 4 straight hours to do this all at once....
1. Who had the very first post in Bored history on the ABC Bored when it was recreated after a hacker attack on November 23, 1999?
A. 40love9236
B. MVLease
C. gusgerbils
D. helringer
I was absolutely shocked at how many people missed this question! Apparently the reason for why the Gusgerbils List was called the Gusgerbils List has become lost over time....
2. Who had the very first post on the Love Boat when it was created on December 5, 2001?
A. tubadave
B. Corn9977
C. earendel100
D. Sir_Galahad
Anyone remember Corn Flakes? I refused to change the name of the Gusgerbils List, but during its run on the Love Boat, I did entitle it the Corn Edition....
3. Who had the very first post on the Ugly Bored when it was created on May 12, 2004?
A. themanintheseersuckersuit
B. jtmattox
C. jarnon
D. RJS102254
Break a bottle over the bow. Of course, if you want to get technical, tmitsss had the first official post on the TUB after the death of the Love Boat, but since the Bored was created and linked to specifically for us ala the Love Boat (and not a Bored we merely hijacked), I've always recognized jtmattox's accomplishment even though it is not counted among his 776 career posts....
4. On which of these temporary Boreds did Gary Love post the link to the new Bored he created for us?
A. The Colbys
B. Madigan Men
C. Travel
D. Astrology
Out first temporary home, Madigan Men, went by the wayside as ABC killed all of its primetime Boreds with the exception of Alias and Once And Again on 12/4/01. We weren't on Travel even 18 hours when Gary posted the link, and we were ever closer to moving to the Bored BobJuch & Ace were setting up for us....
5. Which of these BB's created the GC on April 14, 2000 at E-Groups as a new home to BB's tired of the Nazi Bored monitor tactics and PC attacks?
A. MVLease
B. Eyegor
C. Killer_Tomato
D. TomL30
Attention Regulars....
6. Which of these BB's created the Lifeboat on January 29, 2001 as a new home for BB's if the impending Go.com shutdown were to claim our Bored?
A. DaveSenior
B. John9826
C. robertl30
D. TomMitch2
Funny that almost 7 years later, Go.com actually still exists, but that announcement was clearly the beginning of the end for that wonderful message board format and interface...
7. Which of these BB's created the Phoenix Bored on July 6, 2001 as a place for BB's to get away from the Morlocks who were attacking?
A. littlebeast13
B. Sir_Galahad
C. wild_bill_76
D. hbomb1947
And of course, as I'd stumped even Sir G on last month, his first deputy moderator was wild bill...
8. Which of these BB's created the Phoenix 2 Bored on April 20, 2003 as a place for extra storage space after the original Phoenix's file space and photo album became too cluttered?
A. Ritterskoop
B. Linus_Tx
C. takinover
D. littlebeast13
Of course, the file limits are all higher on Yahoo Groups now, but at the time there was a serious storage crunch, and there was hesitance to give up a lot of the stuff that was saved....
9. Which of these BB's coined the term Love Boat for our Gary love created Bored?
A. kidtejas
B. HF_Jai
C. christie1111
D. deb_in_ga
Poor deb missed her chance to step into Bored history by having Jai beat her to the punch by mere minutes....
10. Which of these BB's coined the term Ugly Bored for the new-format version of the Love Boat?
A. BackInTex
B. RJS102254
C. takinover
D. Eyegor
Eyegor actually came up with the term and popularized it, but it was definitely inspired by a post RJS made on the TUB while it still had unofficial status and a horrendous lack of features, proclaiming "This Bored is ugly!"
11. Which BB had the final post on the Love Boat when it was closed down on June 23, 2004?
A. Bob46187
B. themanintheseersuckersuit
C. 2121peacock
D. BackInTex
I missed the opportunity to be present for the closing of the Love Boat thanks to ESPN moving the ballgame I attended that evening up an hour so they could show it nationally. It's the only thing I hate about Wednesday being my designated ballgame night....
12. Which BB had the final known post on the Ugly Bored when the plug was pulled on October 2, 2007?
A. MarleysGh0st
B. BobJuch
C. gsn309
D. SportsFan68
Given the server issues, I found it odd that two BB's from different servers (Marley and earendel) both confirmed this as the final post. I guess there was one last bout of synchronization before the ratbastards yanked the plug out from us....
13. Put the three major Boreds we occupied in order by the number of posts we made on each of them, starting with the most posts.
A. The PRoG - 388,296
B. The Love Boat - 564,853
C. The Ugly Bored - The exact number is unknown, but we were closing in on 300,000 posts when the plug was pulled. The last Gus I gave out was to Sprots with 295000 on 9/10/07. The Bored went down 22 days later, so given our posting rate at that time, we were probably somwhere in the 299,000's...
Thus the order: B-A-C
14. What did the acronym in our nickname for the ABC Bored, The PRoG, stand for? - People's Republic of Go

15. What was the exact text that followed "&room=" in the url of the PRoG? - a_WHO_WANTS_TO_B
All ABC show message boards had this format, with a_ followed by the first 14 characters of the show's title...
16. What was the exact text that followed "&room=" in the url of the Love Boat? - kabc_bored
Gary's use of the word "bored" was a classic...
17. What was our forumID number in the url of the Ugly Bored? - 26
18. What was the name in the url of the interface which was unflatteringly referred to as "The Bumblebee Bored"?
A. abc

19. Which of these better interfaces was in popular use by most BB's until it switched to a horrendous red and yellow dominated background during Labor Day weekend of 2000?
A. abc
B. go
C. money
D. mrshowbiz

D. takinover
22. Which of these Boreds was provided as the link when the above BB introduced us to the tea interface?
A. Madigan Men
B. Making the Band
C. General Hospital
D. The Cellar
And fortunate timing that TiV linked us to this Bored one day before the Morlocks attacked. Of course, it was originally linked to by takinover that April, and he and my Merry Man Ofer37 had posted there at the time...
23. When the tea interface was yanked out from under us on October 12, 2001, all that could be seen was a blank white screen with what two words printed at the top? - Access Denied
I don't think it was up there for that long, but this was one of the few Bored/interface shutdown events I was actually present for, so I saw it with my own eyes.... and I liked it enough to make it the title of my October 2001 Bored History Recap...
24. From who did we learn of the affiliate interfaces, which we were forced to after the death of tea?
A. The Morlocks
B. Gary Love
C. The Bored Monitor
D. An unknown Merry Man
They also gave us the link to the directories, those nice guys....
25. On October 18, 2001, who rescued us from the inferior affiliate interfaces with the discovery of the wnet interface?
A. Eyegor
B. TheCalvinator24
C. BackInTex
D. littlebeast13
26. What Merry Man was the link to wnet posted under? - NeRainbow
Why BiT did this under an MM, or what that MM even means, I have no clue. But what a joyous occasion that was...
27. Were it not for the brief foray onto the affiliate interfaces, Gary Love would not have noticed us and helped us out with the creation of the Love Boat.

A. WPVI
B. KGO
C. WTVD

More to come later....

50. What is the most prodigious month in terms of number of posts in Bored history?
A. January 2001
B. April 2001
C. May 2001
D. March 2002
There were 34,344 posts in the month of April 2001, the high point of the most verbose time in Bored history. The following month, May, was the second most verbose month ever with 31,432 posts....

52. How many posts were made on that record day?
A. 1342
B. 1595
C. 1729
D. 1781
The 1781 posts on February 22, 2002 snapped the old record set on 3/23/01 of 1729, and was largely due to the appearance of Booch's S_N_A_F_U handle posting the same thing over and over and over again. The annoyanec continued into the next day, which at 1764 posts is the second most prodigious day in history. That February wound up with 29,284 posts, and would have easily been only the third month ever to top 30,000 posts had it been a normal sized month....

55. Who was the most prodigious poster on the PRoG?
A. SportsFan68
B. Sir_Galahad
C. TheCalvinator24
D. hbomb1947
10,015 posts, pretty good considering Cal's first anniversary was still 5 days away when the PRoG went down. Sprots was second with 8594 posts (Somehow, I was 4th!)
56. Who was the most prodigious poster on the Love Boat?
A. SportsFan68
B. PEACOCK2121
C. MarleysGh0st
D. Ritterskoop
A whopping 27,119 posts for Sprots in 30 months, a little over 3,000 more than second place Pea! 12 BB's in all posted 10,000 or more times on the Love Boat, with silvercamaro and starfish just missing 5 digits. And it was a female gabfest, as aj was the only male in the Top 8....
57. Who was the most prodigious poster on the Ugly Bored?
A. SportsFan68
B. 2121peacock
C. MarleysGh0st
D. silvercamaro
This was the butt-kicking to end all butt-kickings. Marley got 18,306 posts on the TUB in its 39 months run. Sprots was second..... with only 9,918! And once again, only one male BB in the Top 8, as #2-7 were all female, with ghost, of all people, snagging third place.
For each of the following old BB names, give the more well known handle they later used:

62. newtoyou - oldernow
Back when the PRoG went down in November 2001, I got several emails from part-time BB's asking where the new Bored was, and for entry into Phoenix so they wouldn't get lost again. One of those emails came from a BB named SeeHere101, who had originally sent Sir G a set of "answers" to a fake Bored test to prove he was really a BB and not a Morlock at the time of the invasion, which he said must have gotten lost in the cracks since he was not extended an invite. So he sent that list to me as well in his email to me, as well as a couple observations he had made.... one of which was that he believed that oldernow had an alter-ego on the Bored even prior to newtoyou.... mreckland. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there were a lot of similarities between the two. My only sticking point was that I was under the impression that mreckland was male, but I didn't actually know that for sure. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out.
Oh, and that set of fake answers SeeHere provided? Well, it was a veritable walk down memory lane in itself....

Some more answers....
66. What was the name of the Bored's original Bored monitor? - Barbara
ABC_Barbara actually posted on the Bored, unlike the many other anonymous BM's who came after her. In fact, she had Post #6 on the PRoG...
67. What was the name of her replacement, whose tactics helped spur the move to the GC? - Ann
ABC_Ann took over after a farewell post by Barbara on 2/29/00, and all heck broke loose shortly thereafter. It was interesting to note the post someone (I believe TiV) linked to after it was found out that ABC was going to outsource its message boards to another company a couple months ago, which basically stated that ABC's moderation tactics in general were some of the worst in cyberspace, which was supposedly part of the reason for the switch. Perhaps Ann gets too much credit, er, blame for what occured that Spring than she deserves (And since she, nor any other post-Barbara moderator ever posted on the Bored, there's no telling exactly who was behind the moderation mess)...
68. What was the name of the Bored monitor who posted the warning about war dialing and the use of the PIN generator on May 17, 2001?
A. Jen
B. Erica
C. Melissa
D. Tina
The WWTBAM staff had to know war dialing was going on all throughout both of the initial audition runs, if for no other reason that it was openly discussed on the Bored, and even war dialers were recruited publicly. The PIN generator had to be the final straw for them, which along with the fact that so many of the same faces were showing up at each audition, helped spell the end for that method of holding auditions within 2 weeks.
69. Which station's Bored monitor posted the message on the Love Boat of the link to the TUB on May 12, 2004?
A. WTVD
B. KGO
C. WTVG
D. WLS
I just noticed something while looking a little closer at this question. The WTVG administrator first posted that our Bored would be "restored" and that it would be on a new location with a new url on 5/12/04. The administrator then posted that new link 5 days later. What's odd is that jtmattox did indeed get the first post on the new Bored on 5/12/04, but there are two problems:
1. If the link was not given until 5/17, how did he get the first post on 5/12, not to mention the several other BB's (Including RJS with the "This Bored is Ugly!" post) who posted several minutes later.
2. The time recorded for jtmattox's first post is 12:12 PM PDT, but the initial WTVG announcement was made at 12:32 PM PDT. This has to be due to a screw-up with the clocks on the TUB at the time... which, if you'll remember, used to only list the hour a post was made...
Interesting. Even I can learn something from my Bored history quizzes....
70. Which station set up a WWTBAM Bored shortly after the death of the PRoG that we had discussed settling on, though fortunately stuck with the Love Boat?
A. WPVI
B. WLS
C. WABC
D. WJRT
The Chicago Bored. It didn't last long, dying a slow, painful death during the summer of 2002. It's only notable activity was berg's animated smily face post...
71. How far back did the Rot that occured nearly continuously from September 2001 through January 2004 delete past posts?
A. 30 days
B. 60 days
C. 90 days
D. 120 days
Surely everyone remembers 90 Day Rot....?
72. Which of these BB's gave us behind the scenes insight into Kati Knudsen's infamous WWTBAM appearance?
A. walhal
B. tubadave
C. sjcornman
D. jetsong401
It was through sjcornman's story that we heard of Kati's alleged swing she took at her husband as he tried to console her upon being bounced from the seat after her memorable run. Several BB's wondered why the punch was edited out of the GSN repeat several years later. Answer: It was never shown in the first place... we only knew about it because of sjcornman's behind the scenes account...
73. Which BB introduced the Bored to Fukola cola on March 20, 2001?
A. TheCalvinator24
B. BackIntex
C. hbomb1947
D. megaaddict
Harv became the BB that was associated with Fukola since I believe he was the first one to order any, or at least to post pictures of him drinking it after it arrived. But it was brought to light by BiT...
74. After Go disabled the link to poster profiles from the message list in August 2000, in what color did the names of posters on a person's Preferred list show up in? - Green
And yes, green is good, Mr. boardmonitorr....
75. What color did the names of posters on a person's Ignored list show up in? - Gray
With thanks to Eyegor for reminding me about the gray/grey debate...
76. Which BB was the first to break the news of the first WWTBAM auditions for regular shows in the infamous "The party is over" thread?
A. Sir_Galahad
B. TomMitch2
C. MVLease
D. Killer_Tomato
Certainly one of the more infamous posts in Bored history that was unfortunately never archived since October 2000 was one of the first targets of the sporadic Dry Rot that hit in March 2001...
77. Name the seven cities this first round of auditions in the Fall of 2000 were held in. - Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, New York, Sacramento, Seattle, Birmingham
When I was typing up this answer, I was only able to come up with 6 cities, completely blanking on the 7th. I forgot that New York auditions weren't just a stealth audition invention... and we were quite well represented in New York too as I now remember. I believe the above cities are in their correct order, too....
Match each of the following March 2001 audition cities to the city which held a WWTBAm audition at the same time:
78. New Orleans - Chicago
79. Miami - San Diego
80. Philadelphia - Dallas
A. Chicago
B. Dallas
C. San Diego
81. For each of the above pairs, identify which city had Sonny's AP team running the audition. - New Orleans, San Diego, Philadelphia
The fact that these three cities were overly represented on the postcard list (There were no postcards back then, just cards) compared to their sister audition cities was the spark behind FloridaPete's claim that Sonny's crew was passing far more people than Jennifer's crew was...
82. Which BB had all their previous posts deleted in April of 2000 for questioning the Bored monitor about her questionable deletions?
A. Jayhawker536
B. LoriNY
C. wrs1075
D. dr_evil50
This was a story I'd gotten from Eyegor and not something I knew of first-hand, so it was no surprise that over the years I managed to misremember the specific details of it. Jayhawker explains what occured to her better in her post in this thread...
83. Which BB had their account frozen and all their previous posts deleted in September of 2000 after jokingly telling a newbie they'd have to pay him for entry to the GC?
A. Todd_Rundgren
B. Sir_Galahad
C. macemace48
D. traininvain
Sir G was posting as sir_galahad2k for a week of so until he was given his account back. But onyl a handful of his previous posts were able to be restored...
84. The most famous account to get booched of course was that of booch1152. On the night of November 1, 2000 he posted 17 consecutive EOM's on which Go Bored?
A. Astrology
B. Dating
C. Pets
D. Travel
85. Which milestone post was he attempting to get?
A. 10,000
B. 20,000
C. 40,000
D. 80,000
86. Later that month, which BB got her account booched when, after being involved in a mini-flame debate, she tried to lighten the mood by talking about lingerie?
A. samcat23
B. aussiegirl828
C. WANNABE82
D. Corn9977
WANNABE and her teddy (No, not ScrabbleTed, though he liked to kid her about it)....
More to come sometime....

Perhaps Ann gets too much credit, er, blame for what occured that Spring than she deserves (And since she, nor any other post-Barbara moderator ever posted on the Bored, there's no telling exactly who was behind the moderation mess)...
68. What was the name of the Bored monitor who posted the warning about war dialing and the use of the PIN generator on May 17, 2001?
A. Jen
B. Erica
C. Melissa
D. Tina
The WWTBAM staff had to know war dialing was going on all throughout both of the initial audition runs, if for no other reason that it was openly discussed on the Bored, and even war dialers were recruited publicly. The PIN generator had to be the final straw for them, which along with the fact that so many of the same faces were showing up at each audition, helped spell the end for that method of holding auditions within 2 weeks.
69. Which station's Bored monitor posted the message on the Love Boat of the link to the TUB on May 12, 2004?
A. WTVD
B. KGO
C. WTVG
D. WLS
I just noticed something while looking a little closer at this question. The WTVG administrator first posted that our Bored would be "restored" and that it would be on a new location with a new url on 5/12/04. The administrator then posted that new link 5 days later. What's odd is that jtmattox did indeed get the first post on the new Bored on 5/12/04, but there are two problems:
1. If the link was not given until 5/17, how did he get the first post on 5/12, not to mention the several other BB's (Including RJS with the "This Bored is Ugly!" post) who posted several minutes later.
2. The time recorded for jtmattox's first post is 12:12 PM PDT, but the initial WTVG announcement was made at 12:32 PM PDT. This has to be due to a screw-up with the clocks on the TUB at the time... which, if you'll remember, used to only list the hour a post was made...
Interesting. Even I can learn something from my Bored history quizzes....
70. Which station set up a WWTBAM Bored shortly after the death of the PRoG that we had discussed settling on, though fortunately stuck with the Love Boat?
A. WPVI
B. WLS
C. WABC
D. WJRT
The Chicago Bored. It didn't last long, dying a slow, painful death during the summer of 2002. It's only notable activity was berg's animated smily face post...
71. How far back did the Rot that occured nearly continuously from September 2001 through January 2004 delete past posts?
A. 30 days
B. 60 days
C. 90 days
D. 120 days
Surely everyone remembers 90 Day Rot....?
72. Which of these BB's gave us behind the scenes insight into Kati Knudsen's infamous WWTBAM appearance?
A. walhal
B. tubadave
C. sjcornman
D. jetsong401
It was through sjcornman's story that we heard of Kati's alleged swing she took at her husband as he tried to console her upon being bounced from the seat after her memorable run. Several BB's wondered why the punch was edited out of the GSN repeat several years later. Answer: It was never shown in the first place... we only knew about it because of sjcornman's behind the scenes account...
73. Which BB introduced the Bored to Fukola cola on March 20, 2001?
A. TheCalvinator24
B. BackIntex
C. hbomb1947
D. megaaddict
Harv became the BB that was associated with Fukola since I believe he was the first one to order any, or at least to post pictures of him drinking it after it arrived. But it was brought to light by BiT...
74. After Go disabled the link to poster profiles from the message list in August 2000, in what color did the names of posters on a person's Preferred list show up in? - Green
And yes, green is good, Mr. boardmonitorr....
75. What color did the names of posters on a person's Ignored list show up in? - Gray
With thanks to Eyegor for reminding me about the gray/grey debate...
76. Which BB was the first to break the news of the first WWTBAM auditions for regular shows in the infamous "The party is over" thread?
A. Sir_Galahad
B. TomMitch2
C. MVLease
D. Killer_Tomato
Certainly one of the more infamous posts in Bored history that was unfortunately never archived since October 2000 was one of the first targets of the sporadic Dry Rot that hit in March 2001...
77. Name the seven cities this first round of auditions in the Fall of 2000 were held in. - Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, New York, Sacramento, Seattle, Birmingham
When I was typing up this answer, I was only able to come up with 6 cities, completely blanking on the 7th. I forgot that New York auditions weren't just a stealth audition invention... and we were quite well represented in New York too as I now remember. I believe the above cities are in their correct order, too....
Match each of the following March 2001 audition cities to the city which held a WWTBAm audition at the same time:
78. New Orleans - Chicago
79. Miami - San Diego
80. Philadelphia - Dallas
A. Chicago
B. Dallas
C. San Diego
81. For each of the above pairs, identify which city had Sonny's AP team running the audition. - New Orleans, San Diego, Philadelphia
The fact that these three cities were overly represented on the postcard list (There were no postcards back then, just cards) compared to their sister audition cities was the spark behind FloridaPete's claim that Sonny's crew was passing far more people than Jennifer's crew was...
82. Which BB had all their previous posts deleted in April of 2000 for questioning the Bored monitor about her questionable deletions?
A. Jayhawker536
B. LoriNY
C. wrs1075
D. dr_evil50
This was a story I'd gotten from Eyegor and not something I knew of first-hand, so it was no surprise that over the years I managed to misremember the specific details of it. Jayhawker explains what occured to her better in her post in this thread...
83. Which BB had their account frozen and all their previous posts deleted in September of 2000 after jokingly telling a newbie they'd have to pay him for entry to the GC?
A. Todd_Rundgren
B. Sir_Galahad
C. macemace48

WANNABE and her teddy (No, not ScrabbleTed, though he liked to kid her about it)....

87. How many choices were available on the Go Bored poll feature? - 7
88. Which BB hacked Go's poll feature in October 2000 to create a MegaPoll that allowed there to be up to 50 choices? - TomMitch2
I still have the url of where he posted the 50 choice poll in my original Bored notebook (With the WTVT®, I had to write all those sites down!). On a lark, I typed it in, not expecting to find anything, but apparently it's some kind of astronomy site now....
http://championshipglory.wcwuniverse.com/test.html
89. Which BB revamped the MegaPoll in April 2001 after the site the original MegaPoll feature was posted on was taken down? - BackInTex
This, as well as Eyegor's modifications for tea and wnet can still be found in the Lifeboat and in Phoenix....
90. Who posted the first MegaPoll on October 8, 2000?
A. TomMitch2
B. ScrabbleTed
C. macemace48
D. Todd_Rundgren
91. What was the question asked in the first MegaPoll? - Which state do you live in?
A pretty intuitive choice of topic for a poll with 50 choices....
92. The first poll to include WGAS in Gastonia as the final choice was posted on December 31, 2000 by who? - littlebeast13
Well, since I discovered the station, I decided to use it to replace the old TM standby "WGAS?"... though it would never take the place of the old TR standbys "KT shot JR" or "ô¿ô"....
93. What was the station format of WGAS in Gastonia at the time it was discovered on November 15, 2000? - Christian/Gospel
94. Which BB won the very first QoD contest held from July 1-14, 2000?
A. Catway
B. Killer_Tomato
C. TankleToon
D. boof8888
95. Which BB was the first to massively overhaul the QoD during their reign in September 2000? - Todd_Rundgren
Massively overhaul may be an understatement. Not only was it the first time multiple parts were used in individual QoD's, but the point system was expanded and AM and PM questions were also added...
96. Which BB did an even more radical overhaul of the game in April of 2001, which began a period of several months at which the QoD was at the height of its popularity? - robertl30
By the time Cal ran the March 2001 QoD, there was enough backlash against the TR format that had been used for 7 conecutive months, that only 6 BB's played seriously enough to earn even triple digit points. That month's winner, robertl30, completely turned the QoD format on its side when he dropped the number of questions a day back to one, posted it at the same time, and allowed players to answer individual posts in as many posts as they wished. Plus, the points were no longer awared on a rigid scale with a big fat zero for anyone who didn't answer every part correct, but points were awarded for each individual part, and the number of points gotten would depend on how quickly on answered from the time of the original QoD post. It was complicated, but wildly popular, and the QoD would go on to thrive in ever-changing formats for several years afterwards...
97. Which BB was the first to award real prizes for order of finish in the final QoD standings? - ScrabbleTed
This was in the November 2000 QoD. I finished third and got a small stash....
98. Which city was originally scheduled to hold a stealth audition on September 12, 2001? - Boston
The Northeasterners on the Bored constantly griped that WWTBAM had never held an audition in their neck of the woods other than the occasional New York auditions. Well, they were finally scheduled to get one.... only to have the events of the day before postpone it...
99. Which BB reported getting a call to be on the show in December 2001 shortly after Bixby returned with the news that the show was shutting down for the season?
A. cbgorbett
B. lulu5123
C. Mo_Hillbilly
D. lilclyde's Baboo
This caused a minor stir on the Bored, as lulu didn't have enough Bored cred yet to be completely believed over Bix's news that her shows were the last ones to be taped for the season.
100. Who received the first flyer tipping us off to the new method of stealth auditions in June 2001?
A. BobJuch
B. hbomb1947
C. jac070
D. traininvain
This came so quickly off the sudden halt to the Spring audition tour (Which was chalked up to the aversion of a writer's strike for the upcoming season), and the flap over the stealth auditions for the Father's Day episode held at WDW's Play It attraction, that it too was something that had to actually transpire before many could believe it.
101. Who was the first BB to be called to appear in Syndicated WWTBAM on July 2, 2002?
A. Corn9977
B. taurus4848
C. peter5858
D. lilyvonschtupp26
He was among the several BB's who were called from stealth auditions held the previous Fall, but never received a postcard from it. It was a baffling way for SyndieBAM to select its first batch of contestants, especially since there were so many BB's still wading in the original APP...
102. Which BB started the legendary "Since We're Making Confessions" thread on August 21, 2002?
A. Ritterskoop
B. PEACOCK2121
C. NE1410S
D. two_eagle_bdm

A. DevilKitty100
B. silvercamaro
C. Bixby17
D. marrymeflyfree
105. In which BB's transcript thread was the above term coined? - Barbarella09
She may have very well had the longest transcript thread in Bored history, as it made it well over 100, and maybe even to 200 posts (I'm not going to count it, but I did save the entire thread over in my Phoenix archive...)
106. Which BB's misspelling coined the term "taping my watch" on December 19, 2000?
A. ScrabbleTed
B. Im_Ace
C. Eyegor
D. TheCalvinator24
107. What was the BB above impatiently waiting for when he coined the above term? - A Bored Game question
QoD was an almost univesal distractor, but the QoD was on hiatus at the time, so the Bored Game was the only action in town. It was one of my Bored Game questions he was waiting for, as I was late in my specific time I'd set to post it. It was snowing in Atlanta that day, and he'd trudged to work early specifically to have a shot at answering it (Remember when people used to plan their lives around the silliest things on this Bored....?)
