Starting first as almost a joke thread, the thread has now been around over a 3 years and has had eleven, one thousand post threads created. The first thread was created on June 15, 2005. Creator Ubs made the first thread as a guest. The purpose as stated earlier was a joke, telling members to measure their coughs, burps, and sneezes. Overtime mainly the female members played the game keeping their tallies day in and day out. The series had very high ratings, even with all the controversy till the very end.
