It's late right now, and I really need to go to bed, but I wanted to say that I like the idea of going through LMB continuity and figuring out where everyone fits in! I think the best way to do it is to go by year, as in LMB: Year One, LMB: Year Two, etc., just to get a basic timeline down! But no retroactive continuity that would eliminate any stories!
And make sure we include all the people who joined that we haven't talked to in a few years, like Mighty Fan Boy Man, Shark Lad, Lumber Fox, etc.!
I definately want in on this project, since I was a founder, I started the road trips, had a wife who eventually died, and all other fun aspects of Cobalt Kid's character! Lash, everyone else, what do you say?

Since you and I (and Crujectra, but I doubt she'd want to be involved) are perhaps the LONGEST-term LMB posters here, I think it fitting that we partake this endeavor!
We know the LMB history began with us getting to know each other initially on LARDLAD's "Who ARe You" thread.
Shortly thereafter, I posted the "Legion of Message Board posters" thread, and all heck broke loose!
We'll have to research and see what came after!
ps/ SHARKLAD is a member here and has posted (though infrequently!)

I am all for such a project!

So we have YOU to blame for all of this, Lasher? Figures.

Does that mean people like myself and others who joined after LEgion World opened are ONLY part of post boot continuity. I wonder what I was like pre-boot?

Now Lashie Poo, it's not so much that I wouldn't want to help. It's more that I'm not sure how much I could help. I was never really one to get too involved with the story threads, so a great deal of that I just am not familiar with.
Besides, where do you think Cobie Cakes got the idea from? It was through pillow talk with me, silly boy.
Oh, and FC, "Cobie Cakes" was just a little off-panel nickname I had for Cobalt Kid during the brief period that we dated

Lash, don't forget Lashwire, and anything else you've forgotten!
It's saturday right now for me, so I can't post too much, but tomorrow I'll be back with some more ideas! As I remember it, we all started to get to know one another on Lardy's "Who are You Thread". From there, there was a handful of us who posted on the Legionnaries board, while mostly everyone else posted on the Legion of Super Heroes board. Thus, it was you who started the Legion of Message Board Posters thread, which stated that the founders were: Lash Lad, Lard Lad, Shadowplay in Candlelight Lass, Cobalt Kid and Tsarin Lad (now Mystery Lad). I believe it was the very next post that included Bellbookcandle Kid (now SeaHorse), Goon Boy, Lev Lad, and right after that was Newcru King (now Crusader). That pretty much is the original LMBers, with Beagz joining pretty much soon after.
I don't know who officially is a founder, but I think the initial nine are considered (with Crusader and Seahorse being the retroactive names of them). Tsarin Lad did eventually die in LMB continuity and came back as Mystery Lad. Also, I remember specifically that Loser Lad said he didn't want to be retconned as a founder, so if we set the parameters of the founders, we should stop when we come close to his first appearances.
LMB: Year One is a period I figured could include the formation of the LMB, all of the tag team stories, the road trips (which brought in Lucien and Space Tart), and then ends with the beginning of that summer (or start). I remember that eventually I took a leave of absence, Lard Lad's term ended and you became leader, Newcru set up the LMB Head Quarters (yahoo group), and some other posters (like Lumber Fox) dissapeared.
The Legion of Message Board posters thread had us up to about 25 members, or maybe a bit more, and one of the last was Mighty Fan Boy Lad. Then Space Tart and Lucien Lad joined during the Road Trips (maybe Midnight Son too, I can't remember).
I admit to having the time when Cobalt left as a way to end year one being a bit selfish, but what the hell, why not?! When I did come back (though not in full force), there were a few new posters that had become prevalent including Faraway Lad, Kid Therod, Kid Psychout, Foxy Roxy (alt ID, but still an LMBer) and Ample Man. Furball showed up (really Dev) and Shark Lad went evil in continuity. Also Carrina Winters joined, who I think should be known as the super traitor! And a certain Princess Crujectra started showing up. This could be where Year Two really kicked off. Lash, you were the leader, and then Loser and Necru had terms (I forget what order, but we can check the Outpost). Also, this is a time when the members of the LMB really became set, as many of the people who joined the LMB and only posted a handful of times really stopped posting, so the LMB's membership became more structured.
I think when we get these two eras in order (because there is A LOT of stories to figure out in there, and I mean A LOT), we can figure out the next era of our first Crisis, Stu and Pov, the new message board, etc.
And all the new members from Legion World, this isn't really post-boot continuity, but an extension of the old! So your still in continuity! I remember when Pov as a newbie, and now he's a mainstay!
PS- and Lash, I just remembered an interesting tidbit! Remember, we retconned Food Maker Kid to being a member, and our first member to ever actually die! Then, we had him come back, and merge with Donna Troy and the Spectre, so he looked like Donna Troy, had Food Maker Kid's personality and the power of the Spectre. This character (LMB Spectre we'll call him) appeared every once in awhile, so we can include him!
Let me know what you think about all this info!
