The Pitting of Scott Plaid

The Prehensile Tongue meets the Underage Teen
The incident of the paid to leave Doper.
The paid to leave Doper returns.
The problems the board had with html links that stole bandwidth from websites instead of being hosted on the poster’s site.
Find out when html was turned off to prevent problems like the animated gifs we were having fun with. Pages of animation.
The campaign to have similes removed. There was a campaign right?
I’ve submitted on a board history tie in to defining events. This isn’t to be another list of funny threads is it? I have a few more to add if it is.
A somewhat disturbing link… (Dorrance #5 Stainless Steel Hooks thread)
I Have Tears Streaming Down My Face OR MarxBoy Has Found The World’s Best Website (Asian Prince) Apparently, he’s found a princess/These folks are hosting his old site
The campaign to have similes removed was like a tempest in a teapot…
Being relatively new here, I just have to ask WTF??? Stormfront invaded? You mean the racist board? Anyone care to give me a summary on that? :eek:
The first thing that came to my mind.
Other than that, I got nuttin’.
Ooh, while we’re on the subject of Scylla, wasn’t it he who posted the thread about the cow who fell into his swimming pool? That was similarly hillarious.
“Fuck me. Fucking cow.”
Also, the Asian Prince site has been archived here. Seeing that, I suddenly have a certain 90s Aerosmith song stuck in my head…
What about the supposed trans-sexual teacher faker? That one suckered a lot of us.
Orly used to post here? Was that before or after her DMD?
I would nominate most of Sampiro’s postings about his family. Wiiliams, Faulkner and McCullers couldn’t lay a glove on him.
Yeah, and what were the Winter Of Our Missed Content and The Lost Weekend?
And prehensile tongues + underage teens sounds :eek:.
The Stormfront mishagos was similar to the Left Behind kerfuffle (yeah, I did just use a Yiddish word in relation to SF), taking place some time in '99 or so. Smaller in scale, but pretty ugly.
Back in '02 (?) or so, the hamsters went out for a group lobotomy, and some didn’t come back. A season’s worth of posts were trimmed/lost for enhanced Board performance (which needs to be said with an Enzyte voice). Given that the Board was only a few years old (post-AOL, that is) at the time, this was a significant fraction of content. I think that it was restored in the last major upgrade … factcheck?
The Lost Weekend was fairly recent. Right about the time Palin was nominated, a holiday weekend (Labour day?). It was the shift to new servers, and all —all— rules were suspended. Ignore lists revealed for the first time, NSFW threads galore, Pit free-for-all, the works. It was an unnervingly fun time, very Lord of the Flies. Catch was (announced as we went into it) that no content from the weekend would migrate to the new server. Fun times.
Did anybody mention the prehensile rectum thread yet?
I think it’s worth mentioning the most famous example of someone actually changing their mind about an important issue due to SDMB debating, or as we might pompously put it, ignorance being fought: Bricker changing his mind about gay marriage.
Whoa… here’s a fun fact. Hot Buttered Toast is now 19.
I’m almost positive you’re correct. They’ve been restored.
Wasn’t that poster where “penis ensued” came from?
And Bageldog!
Here is a summary of this board’s first 10 threads after it left AOL. There is a niceness to many of the posts, when they don’t correct Cecil. The outright flattery is refreshing to read.
I see the first post on this board is a junk thread that got closed. This one is has a problem because it’s dated at the end of 2000.
The second one verbosely corrects Cecil about radio call letters.
The third praises Cecil and the board for existing.
The forth is a board feature request and the expression of happiness with the board.
The fifth asks about what a series of letter in a question in one of Cecil’s books means.
The sixth is someone correcting one of Cecil’s books on the topic of The Six Million Dollar Man.
The seventh explains how the the staff hope to encourage Cecil to participate in this computer thing.
The eighth is somebody correcting Cecil on NiCd batteries.
The ninth corrects Cecil about helicopters and blade pitch.
The tenth is humor about Preparation H used around the eyes and where eyeshadow must go.
Sigh. I remember this. I wonder if that guy has killed anyone since then.
