Well... just recently i started watching Bleach and its REALLY good. And then there was this guy named "ichigo:" and then it hit me! @_@
Ichigo forums?

Was this forum named after the guy from bleach?
and/or was this Spoonpuppets favorite (or at least one that earned favor) anime show?

Well, I don't know about the nameing thing, but I do know Ichigos Forums have been around far longer than bleach (started around 2001 I think *is going by the mother site copyright year*)

I thought Sarah named it ichigo's because she liked Strawberries (Ichigo is Japanese for strawberry).

Yup this is the same thing as when hordes asked =/
they're two different words. Bleach made that name popular >.<

Bleach fans are turning into narutards these days thinking Bleach is the only thing in existance =_=; And besides, http://ichigos.com/faq.shtml#q18
