Like a meme but before we called anything memes. It’s also not like a modern meme. But still like a meme.

I remember that night, maybe two nights, I spent at work giving maybe six to ten FMs smoking .gif avatars. Felt like I actually contributed something.

The "Fading Out Now" post!

Jesus, I would reread that one at least once a year just for the laugh.

I also introduced a couple of US based FM's to Bundaberg Rum.

Good times!

I didn't like rum until you sent me that Bundaberg, honestly.

The one I think about most often is when Kerble went on a rant about how Achewood's creator Chris Onstad was offering free t-shirts with orders from his webstore but hadn't sent him one when he had bought something. Onstad was dealing with personal stuff at the time and going through his stoppy-starty phase with the comic; there was a debate about this and the need for compassion, about how he was clearly mentally suffering and how he'd already provided much free content for people; FM sparky ended a post with something along the lines of "He's provided so much free content. Onstad doesn't owe any of you anything!" to which kerble very quickly replied

Well he owes me a free t-shirt

Sparky just replied with something like "Oh yes, quite, indeed"

Sometimes the swiftness of riposte matters as much as the weight of it

"Gold hardware means you are number one!"


Can't remember all the back and forth after the quote but it was a great time...

Thread?

In Crap/Not Crap there was a Feminist thread… or do the kids call it something different these days? Anyhoo, it encompassed the highs and lows of PRF 1.0

Mostly just miss Sup and all the other smart alecks....everything is so grim and humorless now.
