Does anyone remember some goon made a “which 20 historical figures would you invite to a dinner party” thread and got roundly mocked because his dinner party included the founder of GameFAQs along with like, Abraham Lincoln?

"Tifa Lockheart" is still a meme between me and one of my friends.

I don't remember the goon who posted that though.

The guy who does Kill Six Billion Demons posts in BSS occasionally. Not very often, but I can't blame him because between doing the comic, and all the extra work involved in getting the print editions published, and also his two or three RPGs, I'm surprised he's not on an iv drip so he doesn't have to take food breaks

The guy who made Homestuck used to have an account here but after FYAD changed a female poster's av to text calling her a "pissy pussy idiot bitch" as part of that short time when they were given power to train people to FYAD and give them avatars his girlfriend posted that they weren't going to be posting as long as that was allowed so the mod banned them with a "heh, guess you won't be needing this account anymore then :ocelot::smug:" parting shot.

This list is killing me because it's dated 2016 but reads like it's from roughly a decade earlier. loving VGCats? Excel Saga??

Can't really blame any internet famous people for bailing due to things like helldump or FYAD though, they're about as dated as this list but with approximately none of the humor

This isn't really a saga but idk where else to ask. What's up with all those accounts named after baseball players that have the player's cards as their avatars (Bip Roberts, Paul Zuvella, etc.)? Was that a name change thread thing in SAS or just a group a reregs who had a goofy idea? I never read SAS FWIW.

Sounds like a reference to the famous nes baseball game where Japanese developers made up a bunch of fake American names like Dwight Rortugal and stuff?

Yes. Those are actual cards of actual MLB players. That is not a Bobson Dugnutt situation.

I was making a joke because it's a weird clown game. Gaspy Conana is cool as far as I know(He is nice and not a shithead on twitter at least) and Hypnospace is great.

Real answer, the earliest would be Jan 1, 1970 because of the way it's stored. (You might see somebody with a Dec 31, 1969 regdate if you're west of GMT).

Those names get even better when you realise every single one in that game came from minor adjustments to the names of real life people.

It's just the way computer systems work. Time is counted in seconds since Jan 1 1970 on Unix systems. That's why there's a year 2038 problem on 32 bit systems. You run out of bits to store the time. Actually maybe the forums could take a negative number? Go all the way back to 1901? Who knows.

Make it so you can change your regdate to the future, but on that future date the account gets perma'd, like an account expiration date or something.
