I first found this place in January of 2019 (has it really already been that long?). The first thing I saw was about a billion posts about the presidential election, which I took to be the actual election, even though there wasn't one. Needless to say, I was very confused. Anyways, I made a couple joke posts that no one saw, and slowly learned about this wonderful garbage heap.

I joined when Offtopic was still called The Flood. Back then, The Flood had basically the largest concentration of internet trolls on the internet, or at least it felt that way. It was a pretty chaotic forum at times. There were constant parody threads and troll threads, and carpet bans were not unusual. The ninjas really had their hands full back then.
