I can't give you a shit load of history because my memory is for shit. But, there are a few fond memories I have...
Upuauat was a cool cat when I first joined oa.com. He kind of took me under his wing and would help me to understand shit that was going on. These were the days when the board was actually interesting and it was new to me, so I wanted to know how people fit in and shit. Anyhoo, Upuauat and Sean had a staged fight one day and I was all caught up in it because I didn't know they knew each other and had no idea who Sean was. Long story short, Sean said the no leg comment and I believed it, having never met Upuaut...
Other stories? Well, there's my claim to fame the 'Using the board while working" thread. Which truly was just another thread, but grew to immense proportions as Howie's Ground Control thread became the monstrousity it was. Howie and I had a friendly competition going to see who could have the longest thread. The funny thing was, we would each post in the other's thread.
My fondest memories...
Fighting with opak until he ran away like the little bitch he was
Arguing with froy and just causing a ruckus in general
Getting banned and then mysteriously unbanned...
I won't say that I was the most banned person, but froy definitely had it in for me. He was dying to find a reason to ban me so that I couldn't be allowed back.
In the end, the board was a lot of fun for a long time. But, it did eventually run its course. The people that made the board interesting in the first place left when the rules started. (Sound familiar?) Some of us fought to keep the board the way it was, but old matty boy just didn't listen. So, the board became overrun with the people that you know now, and it was changed forever.
