It is spam. Dig a little deeper to find what you seek. Meaning there is already an incredible thread that details the history of OT.
I think there used to be an OT History thread...somewhere...
then could a mod necro it?
thanks u can close this thread or delete it mods if u want lol
Nesterus u are proclaimed dead in the history thread
Why are you talking to Nest as if he is sitting right next to you?
because he will eventually show himself
Looking to the past is kinda fun, but can result in people claiming the past was some kind of golden age, when it wasn't.
From the time I was there back in the day it didn't actually feel that extravagant, people just enjoy glorifying the past.
Joe never updated the thread like I told him to. Which is most likely the reason it got taken down from it's sticky.Quote:

That "History" was really biased and unreliable. It was partly done for the stated reasons, partly to glorify a few certain people, and partly as a tool to bully or villify those they didn't like at the time.
isnt that like every idea on a forum ever?Quote:

Maybe you should re-make said thread?
Oh, and make the links work ;)

If you feel that strongly about it's bias, you can either write your own version or deal with this version.

And thus we have the winner of this threadQuote:

It was a section of the forum that confused me and I felt disenfranchised as a result.Quote:

edit2: Oh, it was wi****lly. Nevermind, I'm slow.
boles, in my story ure the big big boss , lets keep it that way... get it? got it? good... glad we had this talk :D
I don't think I even looked at OT for the first few months. The game was new, there were some major updates and other issues that kept me busy in GD, H&Q and Guides. I also had an alliance to run so my forum time was minimal anyway. So I don't know much about the distant past of OT either. It was just a lot of spam threads to boost post counts back then, or at least that's how I remember it.
I avoided OT for a long time because I saw it as a clique forum and I hate cliques as a rule of thumb. The occasional ego or forum drama I witnessed as a lurker would always just reinforce my prejudice.
However, one day I finally overcame my cynical misanthropist ways and visited OT, found it to not really be that bad after all, and I've basically lingered around ever since.
All of the people who were here for the so called "golden age" seem to think they are above the rest of the lot because they happened to join befoe us while we were doing stuff in Real life...ya know, stuff that matters.
So everyone that wasn't there for it are forced to be reminded they were not, and is always that tension between the new and old posters.
That is part of the history of this place.
Generalizations make people look like asses.
Thank you.Instead of providing a good counterargument to my opinion you try a weak flame.Quote:

Bah still try to stay out of off-topic unless bored really lol, heh last yeah I just looked over forums never bother to make a account lol.
I hate it when people say 'lol' and they don't laugh....
I knew this guy who, instead of actual laughter, he would just say 'Lol!' and then look around.
Usually one of my friends (who had an awesome name, by the way) would hit him for being an idiot.
(This is at school, by the way, so no charges of assault.)
Anyhoo, that was a major derailment.
The last time I remember someone bringing up a OT history, I was told someone had already 'called' it as something he was doing. *cough*Pi*cough* Other than that one thread, I haven't seen much since.
