Never go facepunch on the library computers children! Especially if the school admin is so uptight that even something as simple as clearing cookies requires administrative privilege.
Been here for 5 years. At least I remember when 08'er was an insult :v:
I remember when 09'er was an insult. [editline]26th September 2013[/editline] Beat that one out by a few weeks.
I remember when 10er was an insult. I all sorts of didn't give a shit.
Nothing has changed.
I don't even remember my join date. [editline]26th September 2013[/editline] Oh hey, 08'ers represent!
get on my level
can't hear you from up here
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;42309204]theres marphy black and OrkO, i think thats it for active 04'ers. tentacle came back a while ago but[/QUOTE] Some times I wonder how you can be active on one forum for almost 10 years. I'd think you'd be banned, or just get tired, or leave for a year and forget or something. Hard to think how people stay, grow up with the forum sometimes.
[QUOTE='[sluggo];42321860']ban[/QUOTE] There's always Garry's Birthday.
[QUOTE=Ott;42321877]There's always Garry's Birthday.[/QUOTE] Not [I]always[/I]. They stopped doing the unban for a couple years because the mods got tired of having to re-ban all the shitheads for the next week every time Garry had a birthday.
I'm from 05 land too.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;42291098]There's a lot more conspiracy theorists and cranks now, especially with people posting threads about rap being designed by the CIA, that Vemma guy who tried to pretend his company wasn't a pyramid scheme, the 9/11 truthers, people who believe the bankers/jews control the world, RussiaToday being a legitimate source (until recently), and that guy who made a thread about perpetual motion being possible.[/QUOTE] Don't bother trying to debate anything with Sobotnik or he'll try and find a way to lump you into one of these categories of crazies if he feels threatened by your differing ideas.
Well a few months ago Garry Released RUST for public alpha and all hell broke loose. At first it was just people crying to all the mods and Garry for a key, then someone said that to get a key you need to buy a gold membership and things became a banfest when people bought gold, didn't get their key, cried on the forums, got banned and then DDos'd the site because they lost $10 and didn't get their key. We lost GranPC when he was found to be selling Rust keys. Most members veer away from the Rust subforum because it's crammed full of the genuine idiots that make up Rust right now. We also had briefly had the General Disruption, where banned members, registered users and unregistered guests could post. It was up for something like a month before it was completely deleted. Between the spam, mountains of CP and alts shitposting Garry decided one OIFY was hard enough to manage and deleted it. We also had Hezzy show up in a random news article and some server hosting company dragged his mom to Walsall so he could advertise on Garry's cameras.
[QUOTE=Autumn;42302934]cannot unsee. what have you done??[/QUOTE] I noticed it when it was added. I'm not sure what that says about me.
[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;42331060]I noticed it when it was added. I'm not sure what that says about me.[/QUOTE] There was a whole thread about it when it first appeared. People hated it. So garry removed it. They still complained. He put it back and told everyone to shut up. Edited: RIGHT. [del]There was an incident a year or so back when another member (slithersoul?) bitched about avatar size. He bitched so badly that Garry took away avatars for everyone and we fucking lynched him for making garry do this. Again, garry brought it back, told us not to bitch and we shut up.[/del] Read post below. Edited: On the topic of avatars, for a brief period someone found out how to exploit avatar size to the point it was stretching pages. Everyone was told to stop and immediately after abuse of the exploit was permabannable.
[QUOTE=pentium;42331234]RIGHT. There was an incident a year or so back when another member (slithersoul?) bitched about avatar size.

Again, garry brought it back, told us not to bitch and we shut up..[/QUOTE] You got the username right, but not the issue. Also you left out some details, which normally I wouldn't bitch about but since I'm here clarifying shit anyway... It was the time Garry tried to make Cloudflare cache avatars. The problem was that avatars would never update. Ever. Even after clearing cache, it was the same avatar. Many of us (myself included) bitched a fair bit here and there, but Slithersoul was the one that pissed Garry off for two reasons: 1) He just flat out would not shut the fuck up about it 2) He was a godddamn asshole on top of all that. So eventually, Garry decided to remove avatars for everyone except gold members. The exact details of what happened in that brief period escape me, but I remember at least one blue member was demanding golds remove their avatars too for fairness, or to protest the lack of avatars, or some bullshit like that. In any case though, Garry restored avatars for blues and even fixed the original problem of them not updating, but at the price of lowering blue avatar maximums from 80² to 64² (and I think he lowered them again at some point).
I miss doug...
