I've thought the same thing about image macros being the original "meme." I have a folder where I saved all I could back in those innocent years, .. over 650 of them. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with me.

I think that might be a bad idea. It's about 100 mb, I could upload it somewhere if people seriously want that.

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.

Nice
