FROG CITY » GREEN HOUSE » History of the Hanniganites
Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
Page last updated: 10/7/02


EARLY HISTORY

  • Read Nick's explanation of how the Hanniganites started
  • Read the post in which the Hanniganites were created, from Natalie's Hanniganites Unite! website.
  • Read about the establishment of the Hanniganite House
  • On February 21, 2000, the AOL WB Message Boards shut down, including our beloved Hanniganite Board. BUT, in time, we found a new message board at which to post and wreak havoc. We've had some fights here and there, but we've managed to stick it out and keep the Hanniganite spirit alive. We will be celebrating our FIFTH birthday in November. It's hard to believe that a little online Alyson Hannigan club has stayed active for so long.
