When did The War Room first become a subforum on Sherdog?

[Steve-French]

I first started visiting Sherdog around 2006. I was in doing a deployment in Kuwait with the National Guard and would go online at the computer labs and read about the MMA news. I actually had a buddy back home that would record the PPV's on a DVD recorder and send them to me once a month.

I started off just going on the main page for news and fighter records and the forum eventually caught my eye, but I never really strayed away from the heavy's until several years later. I was just curious when the War Room first started as I only first remember reading threads here during the Obama presidency.

I thought it was spun off because there were way too many Iraq War threads, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Stoic1]

It's always been here

 

[computer fogie]

I think it was 2004. If you go back a little farther, there were no sub forums at all.

I just checked that archive website "The way back machine" and I'm pretty sure it has been here ever since I first started visiting this place. I remember the caption below the subforum now that read "Gun-toting Neocon, tree-hugging lib" before the format change. This shot is from early 2005, so I think you're right.

When the gun toting neo-cons and the tree huggin libs decided they wanted to duke it out.


Neo-cons have kind of vanished these days though. I think the sub heading needs updating.

Only 41 threads had been made in this forum at that time. It was still an experiment.

No way, I pushed for it and was the first mod in here. I was happy it became so popular, and still am. Yeah, it has drawn a lot of shitty people, but still...

So if someone here snaps and gets in the news, it's your fault?
