Making a thread to wish a Happy 20th Anniversary to IDF coming up soon! I joined May 4, 2003, and can't believe so much time has gone by. 

 

It was pre-social media so forums are where everyone got together to talk about Idol and other stuff.

just for reference....

American Idol was so popular at that time it was crazy, There were so many people posting here, on show nights you had to wait in line sometimes to get on the board, on dial-up :lmao: 

 

Thanks to the Admin for keeping this place alive all this time, giving us a place to hang out and share opinions. ☮️

Good grief, I forgot this existed! Well, if it's been around this long there's no point really removing it now. :haha:

 

Here's to the next 20 years! 🤝

was looking through the wayback machine the other day and looked at how many posts had been made,

since the board rebooted it lost so many statistics, this is what it shows right now

Forum Statistics
5k Total Topics

808.1kTotal Posts

 

and this was only in in season 5 of Idol I think

and found this, not sure but I think the original forum header, before they had a contest to design a new one

I used to be incredibly active (can't remember my username - and with an email I haven't used in so long). For some reason, I've refreshed my memory back to the early days of American Idol, and I feel like we need reunion specials as well. Of course, there's a big difference between me at 18, 19 and me at 39.

I wasn't here 20 years ago, because I wasn't born yet, lol. I went to the wayback machine (inspired by istersay), and I went to 2011 "The Voice", unpopular opinions.
