    UK Sports don't do a countdown to the end of the event, it's a count up, with time added for injuries instead of time outs.

    When the countdown was first used in 1929, its purpose was not to precisely synchronize a team working together to create a complex event. Its purpose was the create suspense. And its originator was not a scientist, but the brilliant Austrian filmmaker Fritz Lang. Lang, best known for his movies Metropolis and M, was working on a science fiction film called Woman in the Moon that featured a dramatic rocket launch, preceded by a countdown of the final ten seconds before launch. Rocket scientist Wernher von Braun was a fan of the movie, and brought the countdown to zero with him when he came to America.

    We were talking about how long we've been doing vHerfs on this forum, I know it's been at least 8 years since that's how long ago I joined, a bit of searching shows that the old members were doing vHerfs back as early on 2012 using Google Plus then switched to Google Hangouts around 2013. We switched to using Zoom in 2020 and have been using Zoom since.

    All very correct. I'm proud to say I was there with @brianetz1 @robertgreen30 @Bigshizza for the firsts

    So you're sayin' the firsts didn't happen between 10/1 and 5/31 then?

    Not sure what you mean by between 10/1 and 5/31.

    I wasn't around during the first vHerfs so I relied on what I could dig up in my necro-mining of the forum. I saw some references of people getting together online prior to 2012, but not in a regular way open to the forum membership so I didn't count those.

    @vision is a fair weather smoker.

    I think FatKid set up the first ones on Google. It was a nightmare to get in to and would limit it to 10 people

    I learned that I don't have a hair on my asss. Some "dark humor" was being bandied about - shît that isn't humorous, it's sick - and I kept quiet. I need to do better.
