Back in 2001 or whatever, I decided to add vB code that would automatically post an "image macro," which is what the KIDS THESE DAYS call "memes." As far as I know, we were one of the first forums, if not the first forum, to do this. This makes me very sad and ashamed to admit there's a possibility we are responsible for the wasteland of internet meme poo poo we currently live in, but hey, here's all the original ones that kicked everything off (as far as I know):                                 I disabled the ability to post these image macros shortly thereafter.

As an old goon I think it's so great that so many of us are still alive.

Don't worry lowtax is probably going to make all kinds of weird and incoherent posts now that the baby is here and he is no longer allowed to sleep.

as i recall, didn't you include these image macros in the hopes that the forums would be so flooded with garbage that people might finally be convinced to stop using them?

Then I remember that I was young and stupid, so it would probably have sucked if I was old and stupid back then.

I mean the alternative was life without an internet entirely and the boredom that entails, so I'm pretty sure it still owned for old people who got on board

I once showed my friend what I believed to be a meme and he corrected me immediately and said it was actually an image macro.

When I was a pup the fact that a computer was displaying color photos and sometimes making noises was entirely mind blowing and when those things were even mildly funny that automatically made it hilarious.

Old Man Lowtax getting nostalgic for the old days. I miss them too. The internet is totally different now and I don't understand it. Kids today seem weird and alien to me, but way less libertarian and so far better than the kids I knew.
