Since FnF was mentioned I thought I'd throw this out. I am fairly certain that FNF did not exist prior to being created by a few 404 members...
Initially the Llama-Free League (LFL) was floated early in 2000 in response to a particularly awful match we played...against whom I can no longer remember. It then grew into a slightly looser format. FNF was frequently done on my server...which Buckeye bitched about incessantly. I remember getting a frantic IM from a clanmate on one night when I was not participating in FNF where things had ground to a halt because Fisich had fallen asleep on admin duty....literally. Something about being in England and the time change...whatever...
Nice to see it still being kicked around 8 years later.
