In MY day, we didn't have these automatic-shmiggledeeschmatic html tag closers. If you wrote in double-sized red italics, EVERYBODY wrote in double-sized red italics, and they'd yell at you and push you in the snow and steal your shoes.
And weeeeeeee LIKED it.
And, VANITIES!? Baaaahhhhhh!
In MY DAY, we didn't Haaaave Vanities!
If you couldn't source the story, you didn't post it! We didn't have nice AdminMods that tried to TEACH the Newbeeees!!! If they didn't like what you posted, they sent you to Chat, where your head would explode and your eyeballs would fry!
Aaaaand weeeee LIKED IT!!!
And nobody knew who we were! Record numbers of Newbeeee--schmigglty-schmewbies posting threads? Baaah!
In my day, you couldn't start a thread until you'd responded to several threads!!! If you tried to start a thread yourself, you'd hear ZOT, and lightning would come out of your computer screen and melt your face and clicking finger off!!!
And, weeeeee LIKED IT!!!
