People in offices lose keys all the time, or throw out the old ones when they change locks but oops, turns out the lock for this door wasn’t changed and we really need to get in there now. Or the old “where the hell is the tiny key for my desk” dillema. While that is true, a screwdriver or a swiss-army penknife would be more useful than about half the poo poo he was carrying.

Well, that would explain things since I registered in 2007 thanks to the Kuenbu thread, speaking of sagas. What "saga" has had the most dedicated threads on a single subject I wonder? I think there were FOUR dollfucker threads. I guess "Lowtax Beats Women" shattered that record but I don't recall too many multiple threads dealing with the same subject/person.

I really have no idea what the people who registered in the last few years think about this place, they've missed so much degeneracy on these forums. Entire bitter pissy drama conflicts that have been lost to time.

Dunno quite how many, but probably 6+. I don't think it really died, just got sublimated into various webcomic mock threads after buckers got too boring to laugh at.

The CAD threads started in GBS when loss.jpg happened then moved into BSS eventually. They were later banned from BSS after the comic itself slumped into mediocrity and the thread had to scrabble for anything to talk about. So they started getting mad at Buckley for his Yorkshire Terrier dying from a throat collapse because it had a small choke chain on and the breed is prone to the condition anyway, which isn't a good idea but it's really not healthy to get worked up at a bad-comic-maker over it. GBS 2.0 started up not long after, so since it was no rulez a new CAD thread was opened there. It gradually shifted into a broader mock thread of any comics people felt like reposting, but was considered kind of dire and moved to the crew chat BYOB subforum to chill out, which it mostly did and now it's kind of a mock thread but more just posting any comics to discuss. Hogge Wild tried to get it shut down for reposting copyrighted comics in some grudge match so they stick to webcomics and gray area comics that wouldn't get DCMA'd as aggesively now, as far as I know. E- as far mock threads go, the newspaper comic threads are probably the most continuously-running? They're for sharing good and bad newspaper strips past and present, which might help them from devolving into hate ciriclejerks constantly.

Fishmech was terrible because once they decided that your thread didn't match the american orthodoxy they'd never ever leave it and just constantly argue more and more pedantic poo poo for weeks at a time. If you've never been fishmech'd, consider yourself lucky. Luckily they generally only posted about the nerdiest of nerd stuff. I remember toward the end looking up their posting in the map thread to find they had been arguing that exact opposite position a few years before. And another time they copied a definition that I'd written for a Wikipedia article except they added a bit on the end that made it wrong, in order to support their argument. This site is immeasurably better for them being gone. Jaguars! has a new favorite as of 22:11 on Sep 27, 2020 |

Off the top of my head I can't be sure about the exact order things happened in, but it got moved/closed/restarted several times before finally landing in CCCC. I think it spent some time in BYOB proper, was moved to BSS, and I think was back in GBS for a bit, too. It's been a general webcomics thread for several years now, and some iterations of it are still available aside from the one that got nuked when Hogge Wilde was carrying out their weird vendetta against it.

Thank you for setting me straight about the history of a thread I was actually posting in during the time in question. My own personal direct experience is clearly no match for your hot take, and I stand humbled.

Sleeveless is technically correct, I did dump the entirety of My Friend Dahmer in that thread and also parts of Pluto As to whether that made it "glorified filez" Seems like a reach

Yeah, I remember it being tossed around a bunch and rebooted before it was dropped in CCCC as a kind of final warning to cool off. But I wasn't keeping close track of it then, so I wouldn't be able to list off every version that was binned before the GBS 2.0 "no sincere posting about how you like a thing" finally wore off on it.
