I got archives because I figured I should give some money to Richard for these dead gay forums.


Also, I once posted a thread that went gold back in 2002. That was the high watermark folks!

I can't read discussions that aren't presented chronologically and flat. SA's choice to limit quoting (by default) to a single level was inspired. The Reddit/Twitter style of repeatedly indenting replies to deeper and deeper levels feels like a "great idea" invented by some idiotic programmer who's read more code than English

getting a GED is fuckin hard. I went to night school to get mine. if you fail one section you fail the entire thing. it's honestly a lot of pressure

I don't see you using your GED as a way to brag about being smarter and more unique than everyone else tho lol. Also if it's basically pass/fail requiring a high score as you say why brag about the high score?

There's just no way to win, so you just do your best to enforce the rules that everyone agreed on and hope that some lunatic who got banned doesn't try to post your address, which has happened to most of them.
