I still think it's a joke.

If it's a joke, it made my day.

You'd think we'd eventually get tired arguing about the corruption of the Grant administration and the troubles in the South after 3 years, but apparently we don't. Sheesh.

thread of the year!
I'm wondering if Sethy666 thinks the "07" bit is the actual number of users recorded online in 1885.

I'll believe that. The forum was in its infancy back then. Only the REALLY old sticks posted in 1885. Dyn, Squiddy, Ceejay, Soul, you know, the ancient patriarchs of the forum.

Isn't splendid how such a group of people can be brought together through the stupidity of one!
<Inq> why do people idolise Tranj/Buggo so much?
<NovaBurn> because people are brown nosing fuckwads

You're great Seth. You just made my night better.
You know, 1885. The year of the long build time.

With processors in those days it took three months just to get a post into the system.
#20
3 months? Back then over here we used ink and paper. >=(
E=mc^(OMG)/wtf
Getting those papers stick to the wall was a pain in the ass... Especially since pretty much everyone was a mod, if someone didn´t like your post, he´d just rip it off! If we ever found out who it was, we settled it with a duel at sunrise... Aahhh good ol´ days
#22
Using signal towers and hand formed type was very slow, so 3 months turn around was not too bad.

I expect there was a thread concerning the Sino-French War at some point?

you young wiper snappers back in my day we didnt use those new fangled computer we used to use simple morse code which we would tap out for 10 hours so everyone could here our posts the only down side being you would get crippling arthritis in your fingers just typing this out is hell ahhh those were the days
Yes, I remember. I wanted to rant about that, but our shack ran out of coal and I could not finish it posting until 1913. So, I spend most of the time testing this new invented so called "Motorcycle" by Gottlieb Daimler.Originally Posted by Kirjava

I remember back then, it was very troublesome to even get in a computer, oh those where the days, and finding a computer? oh shit, now that was hard.
The good thing was, we had had less spam.
#28
You had just as much spam, but you just didn't notice it because the telegrams took so long to show up...
Back then spammers didn't use "1337" thei used binary.
#30
That's three months, sir, to you. Know your place, peasant.3 months?

Ah the good old days...when the statue of Liberty arrived in new York, man, gotta love the French, so generous...so brave and kind to such a backwards and insignificant European satalite state.
Why, only recently, apparently they successfully tested a "vaccine" for rabies, haha!. How science advances, next we'll be flying steamships to the moon to harvest the cheese, and meeting the locals.
Squiddenton, old boy, you certainly do know how to make one laugh.
huhum...haw haw....haw...yes....indeed, quite amusing old chap, quite amusing!.
Now I must retire for my evening tea, I do get ever so queer if I don't get to enjoy a nice earl Grey.
Now if you don't mind one must go read the Times, one does ever so enjoy learning the affairs of the empire.

God this is like an accident. Painful to watch, yet I cannot look away.
Ah, those were the times, surfing the net via Babbage's Difference Engines. Those were the times when 'steam powered' actually meant something!
#44
And you had servant boys shoveling coal onto the fire to keep your internets running!
servants are just too darn expensive nowadays :/
#45
Ahem, no, they were slaves. Cost free.
#46
Dear God.
No.
Just.....
No.
#47
I'll have you know slavery had long been abolished even then
#48
Damnit, true. But, so was the internets non-existence.
(I was getting confused with the 18th century)
True, and if you discipline them for being too lax with their duties, they sue you. Like people do. That's not my world anymore.
BTW, compared to internships nowadays, slavery was really expensive. I mean, you fed and clothed those people :/
I wasnt a member back then but i did lurk around the almighty sticky cork board of telegrams in the centre of the atlantic ocean. Very good time. Although, everyone was a mod so the arguements were definately more heated.
"Celtic fans right now sit in silence and watch, and hope that the damage doesn't get any worse from this Graham Carey free kick. Away by Wilson. Teale. Still options waiting in the middle for St. Mirren...OH, AND THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE! It's stunning! It's absolutely stunning at Hampden park! And it's Steven Thompson, who scores his thirteenth goal of the season, and that might just be the goal that takes St. Mirren into the league cup final!" - 27/01/2013
