Understand. My humble attempts at graphics manipulation make me appreciate the time and skill you guys put into it.

He was banned for some reason. He told me last year on another board when he was looking for another home for farking. Maybe you guys can work on getting him unbanned.

Yeah, Adobe is higher than a cat's arse. Luckily, I get it free with work.

I do have a legacy version of Creative Suite, but it doesn't have tracking and whatnot that makes gif creation so easy.

It's funny ..... I got a visit from Pain over on Cockytalk
last night. I've been a mod on CT since right after that
board started, and we had a good Fark Board there for a few
years, but it died out quickly. I joined soonerfans when
our fark board started declining and posted over there for
several years. That board came to a sudden crash, and I looked
around for another site with a good fark thread and someone
pointed me in this direction. I've never gotten into doing
gifs, but loved doing farks here until several months ago
when a lot of the regulars started disappearing and the majority
of stuff posted here were gifs. Like freek said above, I just
lost interest in posting about once or so a week. I do lurk here
ever so often to see if it's picked back up, but I don't see
the old posters that got me into doing farks on this site anymore.
Freek, Rattlehead, soonerpsycho, etc.... When Pain disappeared
and the board was loaded with gifs vs farks I just faded with
the other guys.

Pain told me he's still not sure why he was axed and wanted to
know if we could get our fark board on CT going again. Unfortuately
I think that board is dead and buried for a while. Occasionally
something will get posted there and I'll try to get it revived
but it's history.
Would love to see a resurgence of the fark board here. I'd love
to get the fark juices flowing again. I miss that.

Guys, great to see some of you “old timers” talking about making a comeback. Maybe LSU makes a run in the Fall with some crazy wins and inspires you all to come back for a bit.

I peruse other boards for a chuckle but I’ve never laughed as hard as I have on any board compared to this one. Tears streaming from eyes funny shite

I don't recall ever seeing him over here.

Do have an interesting story about him though. May be among the only "Farkers" I ever met in person.

He was one of the admins on soonerfans.com, the great Mecca of farking back in the day. When we did the old Sooner Fans "Tennis Tournaments", we'd mail in the entry to the administrator so no one could see what the other one was doing. He then posted and people voted. Removing who did it and not letting someone have a chance to react were keys to an unbiased tournament.

Anyway, back to the story. We went to the OU - FSU game back in 2010. We got waxed 47-14 in Norman. (The Boz almost ran us over on a motorcycle, but that's another story.) I learned real quick to ingratiate myself by yelling "Boomer" if I saw an OU fan walking towards us. Always got some smiles, and actual 2 beers from a traveling group of students. Showing some 'spek (as they'd say) to ingratiate ourselves as a visiting fan (kind of a novelty for that game for them to see FSU fans traveling to Norman).

The SoonerFan.com tailgate was a great display of tailgating revelry back in the day (think they shut it down around 2012). They'd welcome OU and opposing fans alike. StoopTroup, Czar Soonerov, Dean from that board among many others would hang out there.

As a "resident opposing poster" back then, attendance was required! We got to meet several of them in person and we were treated like visiting royalty and to this day some of the best people I'd met.
