Joetheeskimo Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 It all started with this one guy named Joe. he created a language called PHP and put together an insane forum called vBuleltin. At first it was free but soon it was the rage and he started charging 80 dollahs for it. Soon he got new members at this forum he made called Lucasforums. He went around as joetheeskimo03. when his minion, Boba Rhett, joined and begged to become a mod, he beat rhett for years and then relented. He's now just lurking. In fact, no one knows his username, he changed it to something else... Just entertaining you until ye get an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 What do you mean the history? Its like you would make a forum, someone made a forum, and it just gradually got bigger...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Originally posted by ZBomber What do you mean the history?

LucasArts i guess would've set up the LFNetwork and the forums, and as ZBomber said, it just gradually got bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Real short version: LucasArts didn't set this place up. It's entirely fan created. All these sites were owned by several people, (Don, Jake, Chris) and each site used to have their own individual forums. It kinda sucked having each site with a seperate forum because many people who went to one of those forums also went to the others. One thing lead to another and LF was put together in mid 2001, making it much easier for cross community interaction than it previously was. If someone wants to fill all the drunken holes in that, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Cool. Is Chris the C3P0 admin? how come he never comes to his own forum anymore? For crying out loud, you (Rhett) only started out as a mod, and now we all consider you the main admin of the forum. In fact, as a newb I thought you WERE the creator of the forum...

Boba Rhett Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yeah that's Chris. lol No I didn't create any of them. I'm just a dinosaur who's been around for a long time, lending a hand with various things on various network sites and, of course, tirelessly patrolling the forums for troll scum to keep you all safe from goatse(I take the hole for YOU! ).

Boba Rhett Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 It had already been burned into my retinas about three weeks into JO's release so I don't care. Maybe people will start posting the Giver. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I remember before LF, and when the day LF first came about. Scared me half to death. I didn't know what to think of the place at first, but I grown to like it. Like Rhett, I'm just another old dinosaur who's outlived his usefullness, but I hang around anyway. Huzzah! BTW Phizzle, I didn't think anyone would remember that quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Everyone always seems to skip the part about Jed being the love-child of leXX and me. We need to compile our history for the benefit of those in the future. So that they may one day know what it was like in the age of typing with your hands and surfing the net without advanced transcontinental sex technology.
