Politics was taboo then. And tho it was before my time, it was as far as I can tell, a golden age. From a trolling/shit posting perspective, rules just make shenanigans that much better. I for one am not giving up on offtopic. I want this to be the dawn of a new age that will give us this generation's porch day and clockman. All we need is a little more imagination, and a little less toxicity to build for ourselves a new empire more glorious than the last.

Rules (or lack thereof) have little to do with what made this a place where I spent [i]literal years[/i] of my life. Once upon a time this website's purpose was to foster and cultivate a shared sense of community (and the entire experience was designed around promoting that idea); now its a glorified help desk (again, designed around that primary purpose). Expecting a community to reestablish itself here is like expecting a community to emerge from the AT&T forums.
