Title: The BFL timeline: a collaborative schadenfreude project Post by: surebet on September 17, 2013, 09:29:38 PM Good day,
I've been hanging out on these forums for a while, much longer than my registration date might suggest. I guess I should thank you guys, I've had (and shared) a lot of laughs and actually learned a couple of things along the way. BFL has always been a favourite subject of mine, because let's face it, they are hilarious for so many good and so many more bad reasons. In celebration of their impressive body of work I would like to compile the most complete timeline of BFL events (read: shenanigans) out there, but I can't do it alone. Please only submit factual information; while personal accounts and interpretations of events can certainly help, please don't descend into the usual bitchfest that accompanies BFL threads. Please try to stick to things that have a specific time associated with them (be it a specific time where X said Y or the order period for X product stared on Y and ended on Z). Most of all, let's have some fun! To do list: Forum account to mine for dates/comedy - BFL (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366) (current task) - BFL-Engineer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=52443) - BFL_Josh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=63314) / Inaba (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8198) - BFL_Sonny (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67253) (only 2 posts, really?)
