BYOB was kind of a proto-lovedump, where people were supposed to go and be nice to each other. In practice it filled up with drama, dick-sucking, and terrible posts faster than you can say "gas thread ban OP". Because it was essentially a FYAD-lite it was very lightly moderated, and that, combined with it being punishable to be mean to people, meant that really terrible posters could grow unmolested, like black mold behind your walls.

Eventually more and more of them started spilling out into other forums, annoying the gently caress out of everybody, and after a while of this, the forum was closed and tossed into the gas chamber. Good loving riddance.

Hahaha yes that sounds about right. Was I one of the terrible posters? I'm sure you will all come to your own verdict, in time.

This is not even remotely what happened, it's like some bizarro world version of what happened

There was a posting war between Glomp Crew and Pogue Crew. Pogue Crew won because they were funny and smart but they could also be pretty mean and they were not welcoming so the board got smaller and smaller, generating a large number of reports for its size. The mods all came to hate it. The final straw, iirc was when one poster sent nudes to a second poster who shared them with a third poster who posted them on the forum. To be clear almost everyone who posted thought it was hosed up that those pictures were posted, they just didn't want their little slice of the internet to be closed.

It's kind of funny to type that out and see how much the contours match up to what happened more recently with a different forum, and I hope everyone can learn a lesson from the past about the importance of preserving a balance between crews. There are certain tensions and contradictions which generate communities - these tensions are expressed in conflicts, trying to eliminate them instead of recognizing them as foundational and "resolving" them through narrative and ritual leads to problems.
