Great thread. They basically beat up on this guy because he wasn't sure how common this thing was and had no proof other than what his girlfriend was telling him. Somebody wanted him to post a copy of the paycheck before he would believe it.
Oh, well. I'm sure somewhere in cyberspace some college kid posted in 2000 that a bunch of arabs were talking about flying airplanes into skyscrapers and asking whether he should take it seriously. People on that board would have probably told him he was full of crap too.
Isn't the internet amazing?
Nobody can get by with anything any more. Big Brother may not be watching, but you can bet someone with a camera phone or computer is.
As for the Texags thread, I give the mods credit for locking it back in January, even though the poster's rumors turned out to be true. I understand that Texags.com is run by two guys, and they to keep it under control.
Still, the Aggiegrant06 thread has had more than 200,000 views since they unlocked it on Saturday after the OU scandal broke, and he posted asking for an apology.
Football and the NCAA aside, I find this culturally intriguing.
