Say what you want about them, but the threads always had great titles that caught your attention.

All spam is pban on sight.
An old group, who drifts into town from time to time to either entertain or annoy you, depending on your outlook on the things on FP.

I guess the mods just treat it as spam since the users that post it join just to post badage boys.

I saw one or two when I first started reading this forum on a regular basis (winter 09-10) but I think they were before my time, and certainly before yours.
The Badage Boys are a somewhat mysterious cult hailing from an unknown location. Their blessings are extended upon the populace of our forums, as they have been for several years now. Unfortunately, their visits have been dwindling and we have not recieved the word of these prophets for almost a year. Only this week did they choose to bless us with their divinity.
They're back in town.
Come on, can someone just give a straight-forward explanation of what the hell they are?

The fact is, no-one knows. It's a bunch of images of random people with weird descriptions that sometimes is spammed, most often under form of a news thread (always with titles that catch attention, such as "Shells fired in border dispute between Germany and France" or something like that). I don't think the ones posting it have any idea either, possibly not even the guy who made it (most probably had absolutely no point).
Ah right, I thought badage boys was the name of some sort of group or collective
Btw, any examples of these threads floating about anywhere?
The closest explanation we'll get is the one already posted, it's just some abstract writing with no real meaning.
My understanding of it is the following:
1. It's a random collection of images, nonsensical text and the infamous titles.
2. It's done at random and opportune times, so as to derive the greatest attention, interest, readers and the such.
3. Multiple versions are in fact, in existence. Often when posted, a new entry (Or several) may be added, edited or omitted.
4. Whilst with an unclear origin or initial purpose, it has definitely succeeded in managing to wedge itself in the minds of forum users, and most likely is the result of multiple people copypasting the former article/s and reposting them for shits and giggles.
TL;DR it's a forced meme.
