What is the "official" anniversary of CPMCoG? I know it existed before as a discussion site for socialites and royalty, but when was it reconstituted as the post-FT meltdown refuge? (Just curious, so that I can go out and buy a cupcake or something and put a little candle on it.)

One of the earliest dates I can find is March 5. My own signup date is March 7, 2005.

For those of us who aren't old hats like some of you -- what's the PX This site debacle?
And no, I did not just call you old, Topher. Even if you did just turn -- ah nevermind.

In the waning days of FT, a new poster came on the FT site and told us she would have a site all ready for us and even have a corporate sponsor. Well, we made the way over, and the whole board is black with green neon. It was just ugly. The posters said we didn't like the colors and can we change them. The Mod got all defensive and started to flame us in a thread. We flamed back. The site died in 24 hours except for the Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan thread. The refugees split into this site and Snarkfest. There was also a third site.

I remember going to PX This just to read the diatribe on prejudice about sharks. That was the most hilarious thing. The whole premise of PX this was the "corporate sponsor" had authored a self published book...The board admin was upset that no one was buying the book and some how we were ungrateful and it cost them money to set up the color scheme of the board. It was weird.

It was just some smart alec poster(s) who decided to make the most of the disaster that PX This was. They kept posting about people being racist against sharks, using bad grammar in a very funny way. Another person picked it up and they went back and forth talking about the way sharks were treated and if anyone on the board met them on the street they'd look or run the otherway. I wish I'd saved the whole thing so I could send it to you.
It's funny. I've been remembering happier times at FT. But still...happier here.

The JLO thread at it's prime. Good times. And the Britney thread.
I know it's mentioned on almost every FT page here but the Jesus thread is an Internet classic. I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard. It went down in flames but what glorious flames, they were.
