Long Lost #CR'sbar Trivia Session
Here are the thirty-three questions in and of our chatroom from the recently unearthed #CR'sbar trivia session. The idea came from a similar chatter's trivia I hosted on the Dunbin server, and I surveyed many of the #CR'sbar chatters of the time for suggestions on what would make a good trivia question involving them. The original quiz was conducted in chat circa January 2002, and was inevitably won by trivia queen Selena. I've added multiple choices for the HTML version of the trivia, so see how many you can still answer; if you get desperate, you'll find the answers are at the bottom of the page.
