Hey, I seem to remember that there used to be a place where skeptics and woo's used to fight things

[Evoman]

out.

Now, this was back when I was nothing but a lurker (I lurked a good three to four years before even posting here). I used to read articles on DU, and didn't pay so much attention to the forum. But still, I seem to remember that there was a forum where skeptics and woo's used to regularly pound at each other, sort of like the RT forum. Am I remembering wrong? Has this nuttery and counter-nuttery always just happen in the health and 9-11 forum?

Long time DUers...help me out here.

1. I've only seen it in the Health Lounge and 9/11 online booby hatch

although I've seen a little in GD from time to time.

The only other place for bare knuckle brawls was GD :P

2. Yeah, maybe I'm just fucked up and there was no forum.

I'm probably just making shit up.

3. Long ago, yes, there was such a beast.

Oh gosh I'm spacing on the name now. But you are not losing your mind - or if you are, I'm right there with you. Let me do some searching.

4. I KNEW IT!

I'm not going crazy. This is one of those stupid brain things...where you're trying to remember something, and then get obsessed with it lol. Like finding the name and lyrics of a song you barely remember.

Sorry for infecting you lol.

5. I think it was something like...

The Meeting Room?

[Evoman]

6. Hmmm...yeah, that sounds about right. Meeting room....meeting place.

That would have been fun.

8. Wow - 2003...

was it really all that long ago?

[Evoman]

9. Ha...booklover beat you to it.

I knew I wasn't crazy.

[trotsky]

10. She did indeed!

But I brought you a link. :)

12. You're a wizard, there's no doubt. I looked as well, but my kung fu is weak and impotent.

[Book Lover]

14. Curse you and your superior google-fu!

I was busy poking around DU while you did the smart thing and consulted the Wayback Machine. A happenstance I shall never forget, sir :-)

11. I remember when the meeting room closed

it was a dark day for the lounge, which, i think, started its decline. All the woos, and a lot of the OMG KITTENZ posts were there. Ah well, at least they started these groups soon after

[Evoman]

13. Heh....did you post there? Do you miss it?

[realisticphish]

15. i didn't post there

i was exclusively a lounge lizard. We thought of the meeting room as the weird kids at their own lunch table that think they write deep poetry
