If you happen to have any records of old mouse-over and subtitles, I'm happy to add them here so we have an archive of all the cool things we named our forum after, and somehow we cannot remember because the current one has been in place for so long :sun:
Feel free to suggest or talk about or quote or emptyquote new subtitles or texts! We'd like to have some variety here from time to time, as it is very important how the grey forums see us :devil:

New research has shown that forum titles are set to a maximum of 32 characters and mouse-over texts are limited to 250 characters.
__________________________________________________________________________________
BANNER ADS
In the past, we occasionally had banner ads rotating ads we made together for BYOB, linking directly to our lovely forum! In order to avoid having them lost in history, I collected them and want to archive them here, so we have a nice museum of ads - and of course can re-use them again to lure people into BYOB again!





























vv








Here are the threads I took these from for archiving purposes, if you happen to find even more threads and banner ads, tell me and I'll add it here!

clam baking is a stoner term for smoking we'd in a car with the windows rolled up. It's thought by teens that this somehow makes u higher via deprivation of fresh air

2009 Subtext: No whining, no drama

2010-2013 No Subtext/Byob removed: The dark ages, BYOB was periodically gone and I don't feel like trying to find when it pops back up and what it said >: ]

2015: same subtext as above but the forum was called BYOB 8.2: let the forum eat you

Late 2015: love deflecting intense personal feelings of inadequacy via being a sarcastic clown like chandler, care about insignificant bullshit minutia like ross
