Beginnings

The Cappers Group (also sometimes called the Cappers eGroup, the original name before eGroups was bought by Yahoo) was started in March of 1999 by Cyberbeast as a way to better orginize the Cappers' collective efforts in the Save Our Satellite campaign. The fate of MST3K may have been unchangeable, but the Group soon found a new reason to exist. The Capper experience simply couldn't be contained within Caption This. The freedom the group alloted to exchange thoughts, ideas, news, jokes, stories, and personal information was very appealing to many.

The Group grew, and the Cappers discovered that they had much more in common with each other than just their favorite TV show. Casual aquaintences became real friends, and an online community became a family.

What Does The Cappers Group Mean to You?

Through the years the Cappers Group has come to mean different things to different people. So what better way to explain the Group experience than to have some Cappers answer the above question.

The Cappers really are my second family. They've been there for me through the good times of my life, and the bad. And like family, there are days when they irritate you, and there are days when you don't know what you'd do without them. To me, the Cappers Group represents acceptance. It's the corner bar where everybody knows your name. It's the beloved pet that you can come home to after a bad day that still loves you no matter what. It's home. --Cyberbeast
