Another downfall of this board was the up/down vote feature
it means you can give an opinion without having to actually post anything like a coherant thought

My first ever banning actually came when the up/downvote buttons first came out. I apparently told the wrong person I thought it was a terrible idea, so they flexed my arse right on off the board.
My only (intentional) vote ever was DVing Chicken in the thread where he announced DVing. Somehow, I didn't get banned.

LucasP was banned (sacrificed) because this guy David the Gnome literally created a thread on every little interesting thing he found on reddit.

OweO would create flame threads based on every little question or thought that would pop into his head. Also violated two ban bets. Couldn’t even last a day in either.

Now we have TulaneLSU posting creepy threads ranking Christmas decorations and other useless junk from Walmart.

Things have definitely changed around here... long gone are the days of "abandon all hope ye who enter"

I'm alright other than the fact that I have to be at work in 4 hours and cant go back to sleep

People have been complaining the OT is a shell of its former self since the second day the OT opened

This is why I hate the DV feature. Gives betas the option to mount cheap resistance and rage melt downvote posts instead of responding.

I think it’s time for us old fricks to demand an “OT revival day” where the fricking “annoyotron” and best Chris threads see the light of day again
We recently enjoyed a nostalgic look back at the immortal Picc on the Dirty.com thread

Posters were complaining about that same shite when I joined in 08 and then again in 10... it’s the whole “frick the new generation” mentality.

Hell, I do it nearly everyday IRL

Max still post on the MSB but not very often. Neck still post too but not often.

Mikey quit the board for some reason. I think.

The post that hooked me to the OT was when I was a freshman at LSU and considering joining a fraternity and there was a thread entitled: “2008 Rush Observations” and on maybe page 2, I think it was Longbaugh who said “Neill Pert is the most underrated Canadian drummer”

He’s not allowed to post after he got arrested for libeling Chef John Folse.

Threads used to be about what class to take at LSU or what Tigerland bar to go to. Now half the threads are about kids.

Yesterday somebody posted about getting thrown out of LSU. That's the first thread about attending college I've seen on here in months.
The finals week thread used to be like 100 pages and now there really isn't one. Such a shame

there was a guy who'd been registered for over a year without posting, then he finally posted: he bumped a thread called "House with most sorostitutes?"

Another guy was registered over a year without posting. He finally did post: he bumped an ancient thread on where to find the best rotisserie chicken, and gave the world the immortal:

"Sam's"

It’s def not what it once was. I think most of us don’t come on here as much because it’s just boring and not as wild as it used to be
