The more things change, the more they stay the same

JeeberD · 07-30-2003, 12:36 AM

While doing some research for the "What does Dola mean?" thread I had to go back to the old board. It was amazing how things look remarkably the same over there, nearly three years later. For instance...

Sorry for going on a rant earlier ...

... and I hope I can be a positive part of this wonderful community.

Looks like mrskippy was promising to be a good boy even way back then...

Sammy Smith Nut Brown Ale isn't half bad, either. I find my tastes linger in the realm of the Ale. I do enjoy a good hefeweizen, however. Mostly, I enjoy the dance that couples itself with the consumpion of a hefeweizen.
But, when I discover the Newcastle lager, I will make it known to the free world as well as the troubled districts plagued by the sinister efforts of a tainted government. Which is the whole world, I guess.

Tobias was a nutcase even back then...

One of the other common practices of Dola-posting is using the forum as a chat board. This is common in game forums where you have a community of jr and sr high schoolers. Here's an example you might find in many, many places:
Post 1: Howzit? (or whaaasup?)
Post 2: not much
Post 3: skool SUCKD 2day
Post 4: musta hurt
Post 5: he he
Post 6: :0
Post 7: (_._)
Post 8: he he that was keeewl
Post 9: Kid Rock RuLeZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post 10: KID SUUUUUUK
Post 11: HE ROCKS
Post 12: DuDeZ KICKS A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post 13..... (and on and on and on)

In some forums (game forums mind you), I've seen members having 1000+ posts PER MONTH, all chatting gibberish like this.

Bucc/Anrhy was still raging against the "kewl doodz"...

I am here, but if you think I will ever get back the number of posts I put in your crazy. If you don't pump me up to where I should be, I will send an IRS agent to every moderator in this forum.

Senator was still threatening posters with his government goons (though I think Homeland Security scares me more than the IRS. I don't want to go to Camp X-Ray)...

Kevin from Dell

And HM was a joke way back then (though I guess he was actually a joke dating back to his first appearance)...

Sigh...such good memories from the old board....

Actually, I think I was at about 2.35 or so before we made the big move. I'm not sure what made me so much more active after the move, but I certainly am. Oh well...

korme · 07-30-2003, 12:48 AM

Dola-

But he was like 13 when he first started posting. So he was even shorter back then!!!!

korme · 07-30-2003, 12:50 AM

But actually, Steve was not very up to par on his slang like he is now.

BillyMadison would say it's because you have no social life and a job that would allow you to be on the internet for long periods of time every day, such as a truck driver.

Don't forget this classic thread (to me it is).

Rex Is Done w/TCY.. any takers?

Also known as the thread where I learned that if you don't like TCY, you're a kewl d00d.

Swaggs · 07-30-2003, 01:21 AM

Wasn't Dolamite the one that called you "mckinney?"
