A lot of threads you see now are rehashes of old threads. "Now with different people!"

I miss Fonger...

Wait, I hope he wasn't banned. I don't wanna break the rules.

Actually, there are a lot of people gone now.

D'awww, you...

I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1187331-wip-welcome-to-rapture/ Of all time!


That thread is actually very terrible. I know from having posted there and having seen many threads in my time.

I'm going to shamelessly plug a certain thread that involved aliens, ancient Egyptian mythology, and a multi-purpose cooking ingredient.

Oh, that was funny. I wonder if any of our asian members felt flattered?

Oh yes. I did.

I remember there used to be this series in the RP forums that would get to like 20 threads and then reboot under a new name and do that again and again, and it was pretty darn high quality rp. Think I remember that Loranna seemed to run it, but that was about all. Was as good reading as any novel on my shelf though. :D

I also remember the day I first joined the forums, there was some thread asking which varieties of objects can have a Daedric version, and is it just armor or clothes too. Got into a furious debate about how you even drew the line between clothes and armor, and someone was like "Well if I see a Daedric g-string in the next content xpac, I'ma quit". Good times. :D

I remember handfuls of posters in the Morrowind section when I joined who were so vigilant about their RP-ness. Some who had an affinity for Morrowind and the old "Dres" view of slavery would basically flame posters who would dare ask how to free them, calling them "filthy nwah's" and referring to the races Argonian or Khajiit (or anyone on the forums who played them) as a "slave". :lol:

I think the funnier part was the posters who didn't understand this was roleplaying and to a degree satire, until the mods I think got tired of having to clean up those posts, and the humour went away.

It was also hilarious how many posters there were who posted about Fargoth, usually in a homophobic manner despite the obvious reference being a common Bosmer greeting to those with a high disposition.

The two that I remember the most were the superthread, and the one that brought about Vinegar Ra. Don't think I took part in either one, but do remember reading both of them thinking just how hilarious they were.

I think it was over 500. I could be wrong though.

I remember the thread where a bunch of members made a "BFG news" or somehing like that. I'll look for it.

:rofl: And there was another forum member who had a Beedrill for an avatar who played along.

I also remember a thread (I think by BebopMagnum) about what he was getting for Christmas. Giant erasers. :P

Keith Richards falls out of a tree would have to be my favorite. Also amusing were the how do you picture your funeral, which moderator would you like to give you a sweaty spanking, and the epically hilarious thread by a member unamed involving his superior intelligence, brilliant personality, modesty, and lack of respect from the ladies. Best troll thread ever.

I remember the thread about a loaf of bread on Urge's table, and I vaguely remember the wasp one.

The 'ask a moderator a question' thread series was also full of spammy goodness.
