Has The Lounge always been the first item in SigForum?

I’m wondering if the first item was Sig Pistols in the “Old Days”.

I'm guessing that you're retired.

Perception

A few of the individual forums have been renamed (Mason's Rifle Room), but they are in the same order I remember them since I joined in 2004. I missed the early days however.

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

When I started lurking in 2001 or 2002 a lot of the topic items in SigForum were here. The one I most vividly remember Para adding was Billy Bob's BangBang Boutique.

If memory serves, Para couldn't get the membership to stop listing all the great deals on ammo that were going around at the time. The Lounge, Ammunition, Sig Pistols.

Were talking back in the day of $10 9mm 100 round value packs at Walmart, $4 50 round CCI Blazer. Steel case. Stuff like that.

Online orders were taking off and it seemed every sporting goods or outdoor store were just giving the stuff away........simpler times.

So Para said fuck it and dumped it all into one place. I laughed at the name and description for several days.
