The WB's Buffy.com board was Bronze posting board--that's where I first was introduced to online fandom and online social interaction in general. I hung out there in season 3, mostly.
I remember there were all sorts of fandom games we played, including laying claim to random objects and cool quotes on the show. Once you claimed something, you included it in your signature (we posted our signatures from time to time, they got rather long).
I started claiming all the Buffy quotes and scenes I thought had philosophical content. But there got to be too darned many of them to include in my signature, so one day I just claimed all of them, and signed my name on the board as "Masquerade, owner of all things philosophical on Buffy."
I posted about the different philosophical things I saw in the episodes and the Buffy.com posters suggested I list them on a web page and link to it in my signature.
Bronze things, things of bronze
