Wow. I had no idea that the term "bored" was that old. For some reason, I thought it was a much more recent, uh, invention.

You just made me notice that I hadn't begun spelling board as Bored in that first post yet. The term Bored has been around for as long as I've been here, but it hadn't become the popular spelling yet. By 2001, though, it was in more than common use (The official title of the Love Boat was the same as this one... we used it enough at the time for Gary Love to pick up on our alternate spelling of Bored)...

I know when Eyegor introduced the Bored Game in December 2000, he spelled it just as that. I'll bet that's what got me using that spelling on a regular basis, and it's so automatic now that I have to force myself to use the correct spelling when I'm talking about a board that isn't a message Bored....

I don't have any notes about him in my (wholy inadequate, when compared against yours) lists. But I mostly kept track of people treading water in the Contestant Player Pool. Bob Many Numbers keeps the exhaustive audition lists.

Anyway, I believed greyhound_dude's explanation that it was all a punk.

I did catch on to DiBello, at least. It might have been easier for me, as an active auditioner, because I had that George Baily shakes Mr. Potter's slimy hand moment.

Bob didn't keep the audition lists -- I'm afraid they're gone (unless someone saved them). But I do recall auditioneer appearing on the Audition List. --Bob
