I mean, this is one of the origin points of the site. I am still checking around, but this possibly could be the oldest thread on our site by date (I'm sure some threads moved over from the old site are older). I would be curious who voted in this poll.

That necromancy competition...I think Gust's just automatically won it.

But even then, I won't rest without digging farther into the past than this. There has to be a good 5-10 years before this post was even created.

All polls need to have a "You suck" option...

You do realize there is a clause in the CoC about thread necromancy, right? *sigh*

Also, the 'You Suck' option, while still intermittently popular, is much more often replaced with IADMAITT....options.

Given that GotM was first published in 1999, it's unlikely you'll find posts much earlier than 2001. Malaz didn't really take off until DG came out, not as a phenomenon requiring a forum at any rate.

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

I was thoroughly confused when I saw ChrisW had made thread about the new forum. For a moment there I thought we might have a forum war on our hands.

Gustoolian the Dark wins the contest!

He just happens to "find" this thread 5 minutes after we talk about newcomers gunning for his place?

Not bloody likely!

Will somebody explain the "IAMADAMMIT" acronyms please? I am old

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

The worst part of it is that I've seen that explained at least twice before

I love this new forum! The old one sure did suck!

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch
