The Portuguese almost managed to swing the 2016 election in the U.S. Hillary Clinton's way using disinformation propagated by "useful idiots" here on the General Forum but, in the end, the Russians had their way.

And you created the new FMF in your lab in the Autumn of 2021.

Now those were fun times with lots of bans! 🙂

I was part of TSM by the way, in case memory fails you! 🙂

Here's how it looked after being online for about 1 month.
We didn't have any forum yet.
Ruzz and Chrismo were still working on a few glitches, as well.
The first forum came along just a few weeks later, but was totally different than what we now have. (There were no moderators at first either.)

Didn't really need any back then though did you?

Some people are nostalgic about that era and its "war of words" and yet don't like contemporary "wars of words".

Hey I resemble that, I always call it a "War of Words"! 🙂 😛

What became of old FMF.
Is he a shambling dishevelled automaton sat on a park bench waiting for Godot.
Or did he buy a bungalow in Croydon and join the local bowls club?

Actually, it didn't take very long at all.

Things started just fine, but within a short period of time things got pretty ugly, and finally got to the point where the forums were totally shut down.

They stayed shut down for a while, and then the new forum was brought in and it included the first moderators.
