Ok, here it is for your reading pleasure.
History of the Snail
Thread
On January 26, 2010, Martha1014 started a thread entitled “Response on Threads”. The first line was “How does it make you feel if you post a thread and nobody answers or responds to it.” That was a challenge too good to leave unanswered and unknown to Martha or anyone else for that matter the Snail Thread and the Snail Social Group were born. On February 2, 2011, the thread celebrated over one year of continuous activity and Martha1014 was invited back, to make the 100,000 post. While the Snails are a social group, they are not a clique and every member of the ECF is welcome to participate in the Response on Threads thread.
History of the j0ker Thread
On June 4, 2010, JerryRM started a thread entitled “Where’s j0ker?????” J0ker who is a member of the forum administration had not been seen on the forum in a while and Jerry thought that a thread about j0ker’s disappearance would provide some lighthearted entertainment for the evening. Eventually, j0ker showed up, but that evening still hasn’t ended and the j0ker Social Group and the “Where’s j0ker” thread are still going strong. As with the Snail Group, the j0kers are a social group, but not a clique and every member of the ECF is welcome to participate in the Where’s j0ker ????? thread.
