On This Day in LG15 History: The First Bree Chat

Emma's appearance in the official IRC chat last night reminded me of the first chat event held by Lonelygirl15, which was Bree's appearance on November 28, 2006 (one year ago today), which she announced in the video Ransacked!

That official chat was unbelievably crazy, with hundreds of users flooding the userplane-chat interface. A partial transcript is at the LGPedia here, and my old blog featured a particularly snarky recap of the event. In retrospect, however, it was a lot of fun because of the mayhem it caused.

I look forward to more character chat events, and I think IRC is fairly robust for these because the chat mods can silence most users in the room to make it more manageable and watchable (i.e., they can pass on questions sent via private messages, and thereby avoid public comments like this gem(ma) from last year: "HyeMew: Gemma you have a long neck.").
