Post about interesting stuff that's happened on forums. Here's one I like: https://www.michiganreefers.com/threads/the-bobbit-worm-chronicles.84173/ - a guy was setting up a home reef aquarium, bought a big nice natural rock, and there was a horrible little alien worm in there that crawled out to eat his collection over time.

A classic, everyone's seen it but it's always good for a laugh. Two absolute morons start arguing about how many days are in a week. https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&page=1 Ace attorney edition for posters who can't read good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teC_uksSPBU

Everything Jon Bois has ever done is tied for the greatest thing ever done, and I'm not even a sports person.

Jon Bois owns I'm a big MLB fan and had spent two total seconds thinking about Dave Stieb in my life until his documentary series came out and now I'm a Dave Stieb Hall of Fame truther.

not sure it was exactly a forum, but there used to be a webcomic review site called something like "enter the dream" like 20 years ago. it was structured kind of like a forum with each topic being a webcomic and then the reviewers giving their takes underneath so i figure it counts their review of Buttlord GT was amazing, sourpuss nerds with giant dragon avatars huffing that it was juvenile and sophomoric also there was an actual vbulletin on atomictoy (run by andy helms of buttlord fame) that i used to lurk, they did weekly comic jams but i dont think any remains online  e: i used to have an account on a private forum called "mens' room in the fat trekkies building". no sagas there, but its a great forum name

The worm thread upset me because of the number of people saying that cutting it in half would make two new worms. I really don't think they do that.

my first forum experience was on the official Cyanide and Happiness forum, which not only stole the SA forum template and all of the emojis, but had it's own knockoff FYAD subforum complete with unique stylesheet that everyone hung out in. discovering SA years later was a wild experience.

Several species known as "segmented worms" can do this yes I am sorry for broadening this horizon for you E: Even the ones that can't just make two new worms, like Earthworms, can still regenerate like 80% of their fuckin bodies, it's wild Psycho Landlord has a new favorite as of 20:30 on Feb 24, 2023 |

For future reference, the song is called To Forgive, But Not Forget and was made by Outside. Despite the superficial similarity to Girl/Boy Song, it was not written by Aphex Twin, etc"

prayer group posted:whoa, i've never heard about this. what was their fyad like probably pretty similar to early fyad. we were all 13-17 so a lot of it was big dramatic flamewars about TeamSpeak alongside funny irony threads and gross porn. main difference is that most of the posters came to the site to share their knockoff fan comics, so there was a ton of pretty great art being shared in knockoff fyad. one of the regulars went on to be a moderately famous newgrounds personality and indie game developer.

they can live in toilets, you know. there's colonies in sewers - a part of them detaches and comes up the outflow pipe, generally lurking just at the top of the u-bend
