I remember red77. He took on the rep system and won. I was right behind him. He was so much fun. We were the good guys. Something happened to red77 and he became Arthur Brain. Can't believe they are the same person. What happened to him?

Nothing ... he is still the same stand up guy he always has been.

on page 114 of my thread 'who posted', I captured the major players in the first 'Grosnick Marowbe 3' thread, the greatest thread ever.
Grosnick Marowbe 2,004
Eeset 1,658
Tambora 1,218
chrysostom 1,103
Town Heretic 563
meshak 510
Rusha 333
Wile E. Coyote 307

steko 186
TomO 157
sky. 124
bybee 105

total 8,480
this list includes only those with more than a hundred posts and not more than two of my friends

It was all about hate. Only hate could generate a response like that. They all wanted to run Grosnick out of town. Most wanted me to go with him.

I don't think Tom O hated him. And I don't remember Wile E Coyote at all.

I remember anna. We have a love/hate relationship. TOL was too difficult for her. We still meet secretly in another world. She hates what I am for but for some reason thinks I am worth saving. She won't give up on me. I really appreciate her attention.

Thank you for thinking of me, but your blog isn't a secret, you link to it regularly.

Well, not sure what you think that is Chrys because I haven't had some big paradigm shift in views or anything, just grew up a bit is all. Sure, I remember the ole "RATO" days and it was fun, I won't deny it and the camaraderie it produced but this place was a lot different back then, in fact it's been several years since all of that.

Thanks to all my friends here at TOL

You had a good run. It was a moment in time, and it had its good moments.

I agree
They were fun and definitely not pointless
They addressed what I considered major problems with posts.
My blob award pointed out those who for the most part just took up valuable space which forced tol to delete many of my valuable threads not to mention my posts.

Yes and no.

Your nominations were mean-spirited, you know they were. Yes, like your blob award. People just posting things they like, and they get called a blob because you thought they took up valuable space, even though it was explained to you many times that they didn't take up valuable space and you wouldn't listen. (Not to mention you think your space was more valuable than theirs, which takes some kind of I don't know what.) Then you'd take a dig at TH, sod would double down, Bybee would knock you upside the head and we were off to the races. I can't say I didn't have fun because I certainly did, mostly from enjoying what friends would post, they made me laugh so many times. :chuckle: I've not forgotten zoo's "brickest brick" award and I still think that's the best one.
