Title: META: Are we entering the Golden Age of this board?
Post by: Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI on November 18, 2014, 09:37:01 am
No Rhett, Brian, Dupek, or Atomic (thanks Kosmo for growing a spine!) Julian and Miss P back. Hutch getting drunk and starting a bunch of threads.

This could be the best this community has ever been. Discuss.

I think with Atomic and james gone.. Ratbastard in a happier mood...

yes, we may be entering a golden age... its just such a fine line between ennui and politesse...

Sorry, but the Markie, Mankie, Lulu, Thirsty Moore, Bede, Dupek, Doomlink, Jaguar, etc... era of roughly a decade ago was the height of this little cyber civilization.  Just go look at those old threads - classics all.

I think that was a different era of not only this board, but the internet in general. Over time, it gets quite tiring to try and continue an internet persona. Why not just interact like normal human beings?

Other than Dupek and Doomlink, I actually interacted with all those people in...like...real life.  Outside of Venerable Bede, there was nothing "normal" about any of them.

Julian or James... however, I'm not sure where James would gather some of the knowledge that atomic had about expensive things and wasting money.

Whoever he/she/it was seems to have actually been at that first Neutral Milk Hotel show... I doubt Seth or James would have been there.

Also he seemed to have been to a lot of spots like Floristree; James or Seth would never go to places like that.

I post on an Orioles board where atomic is a member.  It's clearly the same guy who used to post here, so in that sense he's "real."  I have no idea whether or not he's somebody else's alter ego, though.

Interesting.

I used to have a pet theory that he was Sonick because he posted that he was on another board where Sonick posted but couldn't identify the community. I also couldn't find how the two guys overlapped on here.

And Pollard, the occasional Flawd visit, a handful of female regular posters and way more meet ups, pre and post show.  Golden age for sure.

He's the best.  Very few people would be willing to even attempt, let alone get excited and relish in the opportunity, to provide the entertainment for my nuptials.  But The Director is the only person I could imagine doing it.
