An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

founded 1994. and then in july 2001, the sba (predecessor of the mda) asked dr. tan, founder of sintercom, to register under the sba class license notification 1996. in august 2001, dr. tan announced that he would shut down sintercom. the pending shutdown spurred some members and contributors to start alternative sites: new sintercom at geocities and a slew of sintercom-like and kopitiam forums at delphiforums. fractionalization of the new sintercom led to the sammyboy alfresco sub-forum, 3in1 kopitiam, and several smaller and niche sub-forums with a common theme about sg and all the whining and gripes about sg and the pap. some niche sites are dedicated at sniping of particular oppo parties by supposedly oppo factions. ooh, the infighting. it's an inherent part of the sg culture. without it, there's no gossip, no fun and no life. :rolleyes: :p

based on the timeline, sbf is now about 13 years old if we include the delphiforums' days. in 12 more years, we can celebrate the quadranscentennial or silver jubilee of sbf as the true successor of sintercom if the owner and admin is still kicking and paying the dues for upkeep and maintenance. :D

all the lao jiao of the original sintercom, let's do a roll call, and please sign in (if you're still of sound mind and no longer in imh). ;)
