Did anyone here other than me ever go to the "Don't Want no short short man" message board?
I will abbreviate the Dont Want No short short man" message board to dwnssm henceforth in this thread.
The dwnssm message board existed from 1998 to 2002. But the message board really became alive when i brought it to life in 2001. The regulars other than me were Nihil, Dan heibert and David. Nihil was/is 5'5".
Dan is 5'4".
David is transgender and 5'0".
I used to have a facebook account. About 3 years ago, someone on facebook posted something about heightism, and both Dan and david responded.
I last communicated with Nihil in 2002. I frequently wonder what became of Nihil.
Perhaps someone here has seen Nihil's posts in another message board anout heightism or short stature.
Has anyone here ever heard of Nihil?

Are there any links to the "Don't Want No Short Short Man" message board or has it been taken down?

Are there any links to the "Don't Want No Short Short Man" message board or has it been taken down? There are no links to the Don't Want No Short Short Man message board because it has been totally removed from the internet. To my knowledge, the Don't Want No Short Short Man message board was the first short stature support message board on the internet, starting in 1998.

To my knowledge, the Don't Want No Short Short Man message board was the first short stature support message board on the internet, starting in 1998. I realize that, but do you remember the actual url of the message board? I might be able to find a trace of it somewhere. I believe the URL was to part of a university's website. But i don't remember the actual URL. I also don't remember the name of the university that hosted this website. The message board was created by two college students in 1998 for a class project. This project was probably for a sociology class. The message board had a survey that the creators of the board asked everyone to fill out for their first posted. It had numerous questions, but the only ones i can remember now were how old are you, are you male or female, how tall are you, would you date someone shorter than you, and would you date someone taller than you. Does this information ring a bell with you, Joe?

The last comment was posted in August of 2001 it says. But I can't find the actual message board. That is, indeed, a link to the study. There used to be hundreds of posts at the bottom of that page. I did not see anything saying the last post was in August 2001, but if it says that, that is incorrect. The last post was in November or December 2001. I specifically remember discussing the Sept 11 terrorist attacks on that message board. Does that website look familiar to you, Joe?
