Significant Moments in Atlas Forum History!

[Associate Justice PiT]

I wanna know about all the fights before I arrived

You're too young to know all those nasty stories.

You've only been here for a short period of time yourself.

Right, but I fell really old in comparision to all those who arrived after me.

     Same here. Scary thing is, the large majority of people active in Atlasia today arrived after me. Boy, do I feel old now.

You're gonna feel older when the iT part of your name goes away.......what will we call you then, just, "P"? 

     Sure, why not? I wouldn't be the first forumite to go by a one-letter nom-de-plume. Just look as M or Q.

M & Q are very James Bond'ish.........P, well, just doesn't cut it 

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

If DownSyndrome was here, he'd brag about how he beat me 3-1 in an April 2007 election and proceed to say that I cried for a year over it.

It's not cool to insult the people of special needs.

carl hayden's  'study' of modu.

Ha. That was amazing. That was probably also the most telling thread about the creator (besides BushOklahoma's mega-attention whore fest of course.)

The post that started it all:

Just thought I would let everyone here know that I have a Valentine!!  The Valentine is of the female gender!!  I'm going to be a whole lot more careful with this one, so I probably won't post about her a whole lot.  Her name is Susan, 25 years old, from good ole' Choctaw, Oklahoma.  She has no children, and never even has had a boyfriend before.  We're just starting out as friends and we're going to let the Lord lead it from there!!

Don't even get me started on him...

[Bacon King]

Oh, we can't forget blue opebo.

[opebo]

That was more around 2005, but it wasn't the source of the actual use of the term Freedom Fighter. That was opebo who kept describing people he liked with the term even as most on the forum were disgusted by them (Polanski-type individuals).

I like that - Polanski-type individuals.

I'm a Polanski-type individual, for sure.

Blue opebo...?

Blue opebo...?

You'd love Blue Opebo.

Tbh the big shift wrt opebo wasn't the avatar change (and associated mirroring of most previous positions), but a little earlier. That was... what... seven years ago?

Has it been that long?  Feels like yesterday.

Opebo and MarkDel: the forum's top Republican douchebags of 2004.

Opebo and MarkDel: the forum's top Republican douchebags of 2004.

Though only seven years later, Opebo is one of the most prolific liberal posters on the forum...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ah, yes. MarkDel. Acted like quite the country member to most people here, though IIRC some people have better memories.

I know, I know... time passes. Sucks, doesn't it?

I can remember my first opebo vs. _________ poll still and who the other person was. It was made while he was still blue opebo. Anyone else know who his opponent was? (Hint: It was another forum member, and they still post.)

I have no idea who Jim Talent is (was) So I give up.

[Ban my account ffs!]

The day Joe Republic returned after a long mysterious absence in which we wondered whether his home may have been foreclosed upon and he was living in an alley with his smokin' hot wife.

I hate to bring up taboo but...

What exactly (like what kind of trolling) did Hamilton and Libertas do?

I always hear about them but I never got around to reading their post history :/

[Phony Moderate]

What about that infamous occasion I've heard about when NixonNow viciously insulted Dave Leip?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

He made a thread calling him out for something infamously referring to him as "Jew Leip". Dave's response had a particularly hilarious last line: "By the way, I'm a Methodist."

Yes, Assad did (does?) have some pretty serious mental issues. He ran (and was elected? I think?) for his local school board, btw.
