How about the 22nd time someone asked who had the best coney? ,,,only about 42 times ago?

Duly's

Rasputin was the best poster of all time. The guy had a big heart and understood a lot of truths about human nature that would send folks right up the wall.

The little schematic linked in Bigb's second post on this thread is hilarious. I wouldn't mind if another was created with me in it, but I'm probably not that interesting.

I finally saw that Jjaba had his first post here on the new forum... another of the ancient ones!

And speaking of which... I will miss spellchecker... "Westsider" would show as an error, while "Eastsider" rightfully did not!

Hey.... was that the first Eastside vs. Westside slur on the new forum!!!!!

I remember the new forum... back in March 2009.

We had so many hopes and dreams.

Now with the influx of people in April 2009, it just isn't the same.

I mean the folks that are no longer with us in the physical sense... Itsjeff, PSIP, and Bobj.

They'll still be missed [[as will Itsjeff's alter ego Manrooter

Are you referring to the Jelk who now posts on the other forum? I like that kid's posts.

Anyone remember DWRIII? He was the guy from San Diego that was about 10x worse than craigd.

I see Jal snuck back in. That should last a day or two.

Anyone remember when AIW posted the picture of some guy flipping the camera off and everyone assumed it was him? That would probably earn anyone else a banning today.

Remember when sstashmoo posted a bunch of bullshit about immigrants and we got into an argument?

Good times.

One thing I don't like about DYes is the policy of "banning" people. Hey, if people are going to be a idiot, we can take care of them.

Idiots never get banned. People who call out idiocy often do.

Yes, I met Jelk about 3 years ago at the DYES forum picnic, and in person he was pleasant and polite. I wonder what Woodward_Friends did over there to piss him off so...

Okay, let me revise my statement: Idiots never get banned simply for being idiots. People who happen to be idiots sometimes get banned, but their idiocy is incidental to the banning.
