.You? A trouble maker? :blink: :unsure:
"Do not consider the misfortune for which you have been blessed with patience and deserved reward from Allah as a misfortune. In fact, the real misfortune is being deprived of its reward and merits due to lack of patience when you suffer."~Imam Jafar Sadiq (as)

That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful. [42:23]

Well, I think we went up to 15,000 members, then I deleted all the inactive ones and went back to 5000 members, we're up to 10,000 members again and I'll probably delete all the innactive ones again soon.

After looking back on shiachat.com since 2000, I thought I should make this poll to see how far back our member database goes.

Please vote :)

If we find a VoiceChat room that works with our current forum database, and enough volunteers to moderate it.  We'd go for it.

It may sound easy, but when I do something I am no longer consistent. It is real hard work to be a disciplined lazy bum.<br />4) I'm very, very funny. I sometimes even laugh at my own jokes....its hilarious...hilarious I tell u!! <br /><br />In summary...I'm an awesome individual, some may say the perfect guy.....and who am I to argue with them!

Nope, the founder (Hussein from Toronto) just pretty much let it expire..  Now it was taken over by Pakistanies who can't speak English, other than "a/s/l?".

April 2003 - I remember a good friend of mine told me about Shiachat; she said the Sunnis were roaming here freely spreading their Aqeeda and Shias were falling for it - Even though that wasn’t the case - I think it was her way of getting my attention and basically 'forcing' me to go on line and have a look.

It was a good thing that I looked :)

I intermittently used #shia and #islam (and #lebanon :D) on irc (dalnet -> 1995-2001), found shiachat.com in late 2002, though i didn't participate until 2004.
