did you know soba is part of the rhubarb family, and not in fact a grain?

remember back in the day when you could take a thread off on a completely unrelated injoke tangent, and everyone either thought it was fun or just kept quiet? man those were the good old days.

[Del Murder]

People want to be part of the action, champ. You can't really blame them for that.

[Big D]

Uhm... wouldn't it be better to keep spammy staff in-jokes safely hidden in the staff forum? Y'know, what with the whole ''let's keep spam out of feedback and set a good example'' thing

[eestlinc]

the second half of my post was intended to show my awareness and guilt at having made a spammy off-topic in-joke, and by extension to point out that stupid stuff like that has been going on here forever. I wish people would stop glorifying the past.

[Shlup]

You're all fired. eest is fired twice.

I glorify the past - what's so bad about that? Do you not praise good times? I'm not saying that these times aren't good at all, I'm just saying the past times were. Saying that it's bad to glorify the past is like saying it's bad to glorify Nelson Mandela's past. Just because he's still good now doesn't mean it's not worth praising him about him being good then, too. I've always been one to reject the "EoFF has lost it's magic" theory, so don't think I'm a bitter oldbie at all. I just think that the image is stupid and degrades EoFF with it's presence. The rest of EoFF is, in general, fantastic. Yes, it was good then, but just because it's still good now doesn't mean we should allow for the odd unflushed toilet to stink the place out.

If you want to glorify the past, feel free to do so, just don't be surprised when a lot of other people don't want to, and don't like it when you do so.

When you talk about Britt et al it excludes the vast majority of members. It's just one more discussion they can't take part in. Perhaps their thoughts are something like this "Why doesn't the great Loony BoB pay attention to me instead of some guy who left years ago? What's wrong with me? Am I really that bad that he has to dig up corpses and love them instead?" And you claim to be a newbie lover...

Instead of glorifying the names of past members who probably couldn't care less about EoFF or think it's some immature pile of crap now, I'd much rather glorify members who are here now and care about the place.

I realize people have an automatic defense mechanism at this point (due to Raist no doubt) any time anyone mentions "The Past" but I think what I've said is far from "OMG BRING BAEK TEH EZBORD". It's ridiculous to assume that nothing can ever possibly change for the worse and to dismiss outright anyone who suggests that it may have.

I miss Britt.

I love newbies. Sometimes they're actually not too scared to PM me! Apparently I'm very intimidating or something. Never did understand that. Oh well!

I mention newbies all the time. Especially in the Warned Members List.

It's not like the "super oldbies" are the only people who talk about the past often. I see the "newer oldbies" talk about Katoryn (spel?), ff_babe, Baloki, ect as often as I see the "old oldbies" talk about Britt, Bleys, ect. Members who joined after they were banned and/or left can't participate in discussions about them. Talking about the past is fun, and everybody does it. I think it's dumb to be mad or feel left out just because you can't participate in a certain discussion.

[eestlinc]

The past always seems better because we forget all the bad things and recall the good things. The present seems worse because we can see the good and the bad right in front of us. That doesn't mean the present can't actually be worse, but often that perception is misleading.

I just preferred past company. Today sucks as much as it did two years ago, which is to say it's not enough to make me leave yet.

I agree that the level of maturity of EoEO suffers and that we should try to raise it somehow, but then I realize that anything I post in there is tainted by association with those other threads and/or turned into a discussion on how America sucks.

Ban everyone who registered this year, unless they have a Knight's stamp of approval? :D?

at least Feedback is returning to its Oldbie Haven status.

Y'no, that just made me realise that there isn't really any major elitist spinoff board for EoFF anymore. They're all either entirely seperate, not elitist or else they're just gone/dead. Back in the day, we had elitist spinoff boards. As annoying as they could be, it feels like EoFF is missing that snarky little brother.
