I'm going through an external hard drive I haven't touched in years and I found a bunch of old archived SA threads.

How old?

Like everyone still has their ICQ numbers in their signatures old.

And here's the thing... I don't know why I have these.

There's like 500 of them.

Why would I have them?

How do I have them?

Where did these come from?

Why have I kept them?

Does anyone else want these?

It's just absolutely baffling.

There's some SA/FARK photo edit stuff and some TSM stories and a lot of garbage. IDK if anyone wants to see them?

One finds that this is the best of all possible worlds.
You should start a podcast about the history of the forums that nobody will listen to.

It's a real slog going through these. I'm going to start deleting stuff, I think. There's a Jack Chick Parody Thread that's just... painfully unfunny.

hold on

you may be sitting on the long-lost source of "this is an rear end sandwich, it is made of rear end and poo"

it was widely held that it was a something awful thread and that that edit was the only thing to survive because it was the only funny thing to come out of it

this is important internet history

This is VERY MUCH a product of its time, little glimpse of history.

I'm going to go through these and do a master list of worthwhile stuff although it doesn't look like there's that much great/funny stuff going on. A whole lotta slurs, though.

Absolutely wild to see all those "army" sigs, including some of which had my face. I'd forgotten about that. Weird.

I've got that someplace outside of this thread, I've got a bunch of old memes and stuff saved. I saw it recently. let me dig it up. I think it's mostly homophobic jokes, though.

1) You're better than me. I would never delete any of this, despite completely understanding how worthless a lot of it must be. The "time capsule" concept is just too much fun.
2) Please please please please can we see some unfunny Jack Chick parody examples please??? :ohdear:

So yeah, going to see about uploading all this stuff somewhere.

As terrible as that was, I had a hearty chuckle at "YOUR rear end IS OLD AND FLABBY LIKE JOSEPH LIEBERMAN'S". It just added to the time-capsularity of the whole thing. :regd05:

imgur works well enough, although that might disappear without if you upload them without an account, I think. Not sure what the status of imgur deleting unassociated images is. But as is, I can't even view the photos you shared, the links essentially 404
