Moderation has tightened considerably since then, now that the Troll in Chief sold out and ventilated his brain pan.

I miss what the forums were when I first joined in 2003 (I autobanned my last account for a year away or so, started fresh in '11), but not enough to say "stop banning shitlords" or "bring back LF". The evolution of the forums to a more progressive place to post has been quite interesting. Posting superstars of old have eaten their permabans, and the ship isn't pointed directly at dark horizons anymore.

People mature, and apparently, so does this forum.

When I first started posting here the place was full of Libertarians tut-tutting people for criticizing the rich and now it’s full of people saying “Eat the rich” and that they should actually pay taxes, which is a huge improvement

Most of those posters left, though, and didn't actually mature in their understanding.

I mean, I'm glad they're gone, but now I'm trying to figure out why they left. My memory is fuzzy on how it all happened.

But yea, there were screeds posted by libertarians here who's whole shtick was sucking off freshwater econ school sewage and telling us how all low wages, high debt, unemployment; you pick a bad economic indicator and they'd go on and tell you why it was a good thing for everyone.

Reality kind of showed their whole rear end because although they were dominant in posting, they didn't have an echo chamber.

Millennials are cool in that they see dumb things kids do and they just shake their heads in exasperation vs boomers who treat the same childish japes as the end of society as we know it.

I shake my fist and yell "youths!" at the young teens being stupid and they find it hilarious. I mean, I was probably stupider then them. Long as they aren't setting fires or hurting anyone, what can you do but laugh and roll your eyes?

I call the little ones "small human" and they always seem to get a kick out of that too.

If the Goatman is still alive, he could totally auction the ring for charity. You know some weirdo (probably on this site) would buy it.

We should crowd fund the money to buy the Groverhaus and turn it into the Something Awful forums museum. Johnny Five Aces and the goatse ring will obviously be in the gallery. The gift shop sells only Goldbelly cookies and Mangosteen juice.

This is a very tiny one that is going to get me annoyed whenever I remember it for the rest of my life.

Boomer chud from old charity group called me trying to get me to use my Amazon to buy him hand warmers because the guy in the market was charging too much. I lied and told him the wrong price to get him to go away. Then he decided to tell me, with a great deal of pride and glee, about how he had managed to find parsley sauce for the first time in 3 months, and had got in a fight over it with another old man because he put the last 6 jars in his basket. “Did you not give him one?” “He should have got there first. Anyway, the dates on these don’t go off for 6 months so I’m set fo” [click block]

When Dwight asks him, "What the heck do you need that for?"

Jim replies, dead eyed, "For when the time comes."

He spends his lunch breaks practicing his aim on squirrels, which are not a protected species in his area.
