It was a delisted forum you could still get to by putting the forumid in the url bar, IIRC.

I remember gamefaqs used to have weird little corners of people hiding out on boards for long forgotten games.

It's weird the knock-on effects you get from finding out things like this.

For example, I just found out that while he hasn't posted since 2014, grover remains completely unbanned here and free to resume posting at any time.

There were some that were intentionally hidden as Easter eggs.

One of those is “Empire”, board ID № 5882300. It’s a reference to the telephone number of an extremely prolific series of commercials by a U.S. carpet company.

Fun fact: the entire SA forums are operating as a door game on an SBBS somewhere in Indiana (Brazil). There's a 1/4 000 000 chance (thanks, Radium!) that when you try to log on, you'll get Tradewars 2002 instead of the forums. You can still send node messages to users in the system proper if you know the right URL.

lol horses often "introduce" themselves by gently blowing into each others' nostrils, you can see them trying to do that here and going "what the gently caress you smell like nothing and don't breathe"

Also a good horsehack for calming/comforting a horse when you meet/greet (just blow some gentle puffs into their noses).

I think it is an outcome of some kids not having computers of their own or like really restrictve parents. A Nook basically gives them access to a relatively unstructured/monotored space in the form of book reviews.

Yeah, recently there was a goon looking for a thread here from years ago about that very phenomenon (no one could find it, sadly). In that instance it was a bunch of queer/questioning teens that had hyper-Christian parents, so their Nook/Kindle/whatever "reviews" was their only way to say "I think I might be gay?!" or hook up with other sympathetic teens without their rear end in a top hat snooping parents finding out.

A combo of :smith: for their situation and :black101: for coming up with that workaround.

I know, I love that and the white horse in the other video that can definitely tell somethings not right. You can see her try to pull the blanket off and the jacket because she can smell people and sort of realizes there's some sort of shenanigans going on.

I mean, I'm glad the guy seems to be happy, and he's using it to promote his tailoring business and stuff which is a good idea. But "I get tons of marriage proposals because I dress like a dandy" is a very funny thing to say to the newspaper.

I hope he's saying that as some kind of victorian way of saying 'I'm getting laid constantly'

Ears went back a few times and the front hoof came up. I'm not an expert but in my time working with horses I was fully expecting that white horse to start kicking the poo poo out of those idiots.

I've seen a new horse get introduced to an established herd of THERAPY horses and holy gently caress they were brutal at first. The sound of a horse double barrel kicking another horse in the side is something that stays with you.
