This Board...

[60FeetUnderWater]

Originally posted by Flock of MoosenI won't say all, I won't say most, but I know a good amount who were around the 1st year of OA.com's existence would agree, the past was tons better than the shit it became.

ok, ok..I get it. I know 2001 rocked and all that...

see, my point is this:

1996 was a great year for me personally speaking...

Do you think I'm trying to relive that one year over and over?

No, I'm not. Why are so many trying to relive one particular year? Things are different now...it'll never be 2001 again Flock...sorry to disapoint you and the rest of you who may feel this particular way.

I was told in the beginning (see my Newbie thread) "The inside shit can get in the way at times." but "everyone will have their own inside jokes soon enough."

this has happened..I think...

If you want 2001 - go read the old board.

Isn't that why it's there? You wanna make like Vos and rehash the same bits from back then? Is that why its encouraged by certain people to go back and read those threads? So us newbies can make feeble attempts at using those particular inside jokes?

Are you mad? insane?

You'd have to actually have been there to know what I'm talking about. OA.com (2001) compared to OA.com (2002)? No comparison whatsoever, 2001 blew it away big time.

you just proved my point Flock. See, if we weren't there, us folk who don't know better, how could we truely duplicate the style of the board and how it truely was circa 2001?

It's kinda like people who started listening to the O&A show after they were syndicated. They thought this was the best thing they had ever heard, but for us who listened way back when they were still playing music in between bits it was clear. O&A post syndication SUCKED!

I loved O&A as much in pre-sydication as I did afterwards. Of course, I have a certain preference for the pre-syn stuff but still - O&A still remained true to who they were after syndication. That was all that mattered to me.

Your comment, as a fellow O&A fan, has insulted & disappointed me. :disappointed:

Ok, not really but still...this board is called "Your Boxes..I mean, "Your Moms' Box" right?

forums named "The End", "It's the Bitches That'll Gitchas". The old version of THIS board was called "OA.com", right?

About a radio show, right?

Well...that show is cancelled, we're all adrift, awaiting its return. Some do open serious threads..protect them...warn the chatters...at least, have folk who have the stomach to do so and not just toss their hands up into the air.

Or is this place meant to be a giant dating pool that exists under the guise of an O&A-centric message board?

The point being - change the name of the site if this place isn't supposed to be about the show.

Mods, I say this respectfully, keep your asses in here (or make a schedule, man your watch...figure it out, I dunno.) and show all of the misguided the proper path and if they fail you too many times as a member of your board then, show them the cyberdoor.

Ninny, a mod, admitted that she gave up. You think that is the best course of action to get this board to where you want it to be?

However, kudos to Ninny for posting this thread and inadvertantly sparrking this serious conversation. At first, an attempt at humor (the status quo for the poor lad )....now, a warranted discussion about what this place is, who is happy or annoyed about it and what happens now that it's being discussed out in the open.

On a side note, I notice that our 2 Super Mods are on this board, their board, frequently enough...and they've said nothing pubilically, citing disgust or happiness...just nothing...and that is fine.

I would think that if those 2 really had to say something, they would.

right?
