Man, what the fuck, man?
I couldn’t imagine why there were suddenly 50 posts in this thread.

I should have realized it would be unexpected and amazing.

I only wish it was possible for the back of the book to have quotes from reviews from the 6%.

A while back, while engaged in serious mod discussions in the mod forum in response to a QCS thread, I took a pause, and stepped back and realized that forums politics are nothing but the greatest sandcastle of the 21st century Internet - we have spent 20 years here posting and arguing and refining our definition of posting to the point that some people live their entire lives around it, and entire kingdoms and movements have been born and died in this ridiculous world we have created. And if you make a serious attempt try to explain it to an outsider, not only would it take at least 20 hours to offer a proper introduction, but you would sound like a total lunatic the entire time. We live in a bizarre fantasy world of our own creation with its own rules and social strata and history and culture, and it’s all utterly meaningless to everyone but us. Like Manichaeism. They had their own complete worldview and social structure and rituals and references, spread all around the world, and now nobody has a loving clue about anything they did. And such it will be with our culture; in no less than one or two generations the book of c-spam will be nothing but an utterly perplexing and freakish anomaly borne out of some obscure and forgotten corner of human culture. People in the future will look over it and be utterly baffled by the jokes and references we find mundane. They’ll wonder, why did we remember sailor? Why did we never spell trump’s name the same way twice? It will be akin to the way we think upon Stonehenge; it will keep people up at night. And that owns and is hilarious.

Counterpoint; screaming inside all the time is universal to the point that cspam is something instantly understood as if it had been known all along, even if some feel uncomfortable looking at it.

I met a poster from an antique forum,
Who said—“One vast and endless thread of shitposts
Pinned at the top... Near them, on the left,
Half compressed a GIF avi lies, whose plane,
With smirking lip, and cartoon wingspan,
Tell that its mod well those forecasts read
Which yet survive, stamped on these colored maps,
The pen that mocked them, and the needle that sped;
And on the header, these words appear:
D & D > The C-SPAM Times,
Better Posts Aren't Possible, ye Succ Dems, and despair!
Nothing unread remains. Round the archive
Of that colossal thread, countless and bare
The timpr and truml posts stretch far away.”
