It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Apparently, 7 years (You last visited: 05-07-2004 at 08:19 PM). As I was browsing my usual time suck, Reddit, I saw a link that originated here and thought I’d check out my old stomping grounds.
So… what did I miss?
Well, for starters, check out the “In Memoriam” sticky. You might see some familiar names that have been confirmed as deceased.
Now that the SDMB’s parent company has been bought by a joint venture of the Chinese and Canadians, we all have to learn to speak Putonghua (普通話, Modern Standard Chinese) while ordering our double-doubles at Tim Horton’s. The rule requiring posting in English has been relaxed somewhat.
Xie xie, eh?
The Pit has … changed.
No more wishing death on each other; no more Fuck You’s to each other; no more calling each other cunts.
What is this world coming to, anyway?
The move to a new server and/or forum software was not particularly smooth for several months. Works well now though.
There was some ownership/rules changing and some defected to another board, but quite a few of those frequent both places.
A forum called The Barn House popped up amongst the other forums and many people had a problem with that because the forum was connected to Ed Zotti’s book. Now it’s still there but down at the bottom.
And yeah, I’m scared to insult anyone in the Pit any more. Not that I did anyway.
