A Definitive Documentation of the Life and Times of Off Topic

vic_orthdox · 07-02-2007, 07:21 PM

This could be a good idea for a thread. It could not. I thought, while I was bored at work, that I could reminisce, and provide a thread with appropriate timeline where people can relive the moments that saw us to this point in OT. Feel free to provide links to appropriate threads, and provide moments of your own.

Significant Moments

Some of the staples of Off Topic - Another Game, Lord's Lounge, Favorite Song of the Week (sic), Making and Ruining Your Day.
(Pimp) Legion of Doom vs nibbletjones cricketweb milkshake society
Paint Turtle. Enough said.
Mr. Casson's Guides.
Funniest Member of CW Thread, including the blow-up involving Gerard, Rich Hingston and Reuben with Bob and others.
nibbs, half and Kasper's serial love-in.
psxpro's enlightened ways, with the highlight being ... although this wasn't far behind.
Vintage Bob aka cricket player. RIP.
Battle threads - the original, the epic, the epic II, the genius, the tribute.
Burkey's declaration of love.
Shounak, and the CW Wormhole
Sidetracking of threads into puns, best illustrated here.
Most rapidfire posting ever.
Insights into the minds of FaaipDeOiad and chris.hinton.
Introduction of the newest moderators, and subsequent bannings. Including benchmark00's parting shot.

I don't want this kind of crap on these forums thanks very much.

Casson's guides. Can't believe you forgot them tbh

Also this one, which Jack conveniently left out. And then of course the Lounge and the Hottest Women thread.

Langeveldt · 08-02-2007, 01:01 AM

Good thread, we should keep it updated

pasag · 08-02-2007, 01:38 AM

Who could forget the Un-Manly Things thread that had over 500 posts in one night. Or the best/worst punning ever in the Ford Swaps 30-Year Anniversary Retirement Packages With...........a Certificate. Some more banning shenanigans in the Full moon out tonight? thread, coupled with one of my favourites - Censor stuff and moderation, although that was in Site Discussion. Not to mention the top class civil disobedience in the Why? thread.

Reading through those threads really underlines the fact that nibbs is the greatest poster in OT history.

nibbs · 08-02-2007, 02:09 AM

Half has joined under alter-egos about a few times since though and always managed to get himself banned.

I'd like to see Kasper back though.

I agree. Should get you banned and stripped of your content updating status more often.
