A brief history of OO?

[Kelric]

I think I joined GG in 1999. I was definitely lurking by then. I may even have done one or the other or both before that. But, yeah... this is a long time on the 'net.

It's also a shame you missed the first Golden Age of Comedy, which was bracketed by the arrival and departure of U2K Tha Greate$t.

You just had to speak his name, didn't you?

I took the plunge. Soon Ironrod will become Kraken.

Out of curiosity, does my login stay the same?

Your password won't change, but you'll need to use your new username to log in.

Also, I think you posted this in the wrong thread.

What a sad legacy to leave.

It was late and I was drunk. At least I hit the right forum.

Wow, reading Peacedog's history post really brought back a lot of memories. I'm not on here anywhere as much as I used to be at Gone Gold or at OO at the start, but I still do come by and post from time to time.

Impressive job, Peacedog!

[LawBeefaroni]

Impressive job, Peacedog!

Yeah, good one.

I participated in the butt end of the dial-up BBS era in the early nineties, but was too tied up in school/early jobs in the latter half of the decade to really spend any time on interweb discussions.

This is a bit off topic, but you should check out the BBS Documentary. Free clips at Archive.org.

And a belated welcome!

During the last year of GG, there were several threads where discussion veered into the area of "nature/intelligence of humans." Inevitably someone would mention that an octopus had been observed opening a pickle jar. This fact was always followed by a statement to the effect of fearing our octopus overlords. I'd always assumed that the name of this place had some spiritual connection to those threads.

I'll return to my blissful ignorance...

And hepcat is... there's one in every forum, isn't there? (can't be any worse than ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER -- see http://www.avclub.com, or better yet, don't)

That's a first for me. A drive-by posting.

They're just jealous of the hair.
