Not a quote per se but please read the "Marge Quest (2?!)" thread in BYOB before it is potentially lost forever. I'd embed a link if I weren't on my phone, but it's easy to find.

Travel couples on Instagram OP

Like can you go anywhere beautiful without having to both be in the photo lifting eachother up or doing that holding hands with cameraman thing

Please note this isn't me being jealous that they likely get paid to do this whilst my 15 followers get to enjoy my blurry photos of rocks

Well since the forums are probably dying I just want to say I’ve really enjoyed this place and all the other posters on this website even the ones I got into arguments with. This place was a huge part of my life for so long and I’m really going to miss it and the people. This next part has some personal info so I’m gonna spoil it since apparently off sites are combing the website looking for personal details

if you haven’t by now, I really urge you to play RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS. It’s the hot new game everyone is playing. The fantastic graphics, the orchestral music, the unparalleled gameplay, it’s unlike anything you’ve ever played. And there’s a free trial! You have literally nothing to lose. If you do nothing else before this website departs, you owe it to yourself and me to play the game of the year, RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS

oldpainless is a good poster and it's kind of a shame that the last x years people have just been replying with puns on his username.

imagine being a guy on the diy forum or something that just goes there to post a picture of his deck every once in a while, and then one day the site goes away and you're like "hey what gives" and then you start finding stories about the cabal of pedophiles, rapists, and serial abusers that have used the site as a hunting ground for its entire lifespan, all while you were just posting your deck and complimenting other people's decks

Thats Wishes for Death
aka Fat Swedish Hero
aka Fish Steer a Dhow
aka Fall Sick and Die ( He gave up the anagram username gimmick here)

He used to be known for writing over the top, effort crafted gimmick threads in GBS and never dropping character then disappearing for a while, scrambling his username letters up, and repeating. One of my favorites was this thread with the story of being head of a Ghostbusters cosplay troupe. They enjoyed moderate success before it all came crashing down due to petty in-fighting squabbles and him ultimately having an affair with the Janine cosplaying member of the group which torpedoed his marriage. I think he wrote that he was the Egon of the group and the whole Janine/Egon lust dynamic became too real. It was sourced with all kinds of pictures and elaborate details like all his threads were.

Of course this was also the time period of Boomerjinks being a popular member of the site and not the butt of jokes about reddit drama over Jurassic Park jeep scandals. Boomerjinks just couldnt let someone have a laugh in his specific area of Ghostbusters fandom and had to run into the thread to call bullshit on all the minute details of the story. Using his expertise to call attention to pictures of Ghostbusters props that only he could recognize and knowledge of the local cosplay groups of whatever area in the country this was supposed to be in, Boomerjinks had to rush in and ruin everyones fun. He was the top Ghostbusters nerd with the inaccurate replica Ectomobile made from a modified Subaru hatchback, which amounted to 90% of his posting back then. Total different era of GBS and the weird bigger than life personalities that used to clash there.

At some point Wishes for Death dropped the gimmick only posts got made a mod of LF. I thought he went crazy over DocEvil letting Rorschach gently caress with the forum before they deleted LF, but it looks like he was still posting in 2016 and then disappeared forever.

I have no problem believing that there's a sardine megathread with ten posters in it who never go anywhere else on the site. That's the kind of place this is.

Only ten posters but it's a very small megathread so they're really packed in there tightly.

You know what I get asked all the time? If bees sting me. Because I can only assume it's what people fear the most from bees, and that is totally okay and I understand it.

I then tell them that I get stung regularly. Sometimes you have to tend a hive when the weather is absolutely not right, sometimes a bee gets caught in your hair and stings in panic, sometimes the princess meets the wrong drones, resulting in a pretty hostile hive. But I mostly get stings because I refuse to select my queens for beeing calm. I want their offspring to be able to defend themselves from bad creatures. I just can't get behind the concept of breeding bees to be calm because the beekeeper can't be arsed to wear protective clothing. There are methods and bee hive boxes that are "closer" to nature that make bees calmer, I witnessed this many times. But you still rip open a hive if you have to inspect them, and I want my bees to be angry at me when I do this. I also adapted a pretty new way of handling my hives this year which I thought would totally fail but at the moment seems okay, but I'll post about that somewhere after the winter.

Whenever I get stung, the first thing I do is trying to get the bee out of my skin before it rips itself apart, because she'd be dying in the process (the bees don't know they'll die when they sting something with skin like humans, that's why they panic twice like "gently caress, gently caress, I can't get away, I'm stuck and it's tearing me apart when I try to fly off but my wings are so strong", like bees don't die of they sting other bees, wasps, snails etc. ,They are basically in for the same surprise as the people getting stung, only their chance of dying is pretty high. I sometimes (not often, tbh) managed to remove a stinging bee with her stinging aparatus still intact, and put her next to the hive I suppose she came from (I also bugger out then because bees basically mark you with scents and poo poo like "here, I started killing this big bad thing, help me and kill it with me")

What I'm trying to say is: Lowtax, I hope you get never stung by a single bee that is under my care. Not a single one is worthy to die for you, you terrible rear end in a top hat. This forum had so many cool and good people, threads and whatever.

Lowtax, if a single bee of mine would sting you, it would be a wasted life of an insect that forms a colony that creates and looses 2000 bees a day.

This is my meltdown, and I stand by it. gently caress you, Lowtax.
