Great Moments in TrekBBS History!

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, Squiggy's commentaries on the MB threads were utterly great but some of his last ones were damn legendary. It's a shame the early MB threads have been pruned. My favorite part of them was the few posters who'd come in honestly trying to offer good advice to him and then getting baffled with the way the rest of us were acting.

Yay, I'm famous.

To be honest, though, it seems to be your last "episode" offered more amusement. It was a while ago, since I was absent from the board for 4-5 months and it was a while before that.

I don't even remember what you wrote besides it was epic and awesome.

Wait...there was another time?

And I do hold that my Buffy review was totally insightful.

 

[CorporalClegg]

It totally was.

And yes there was another time. I may not have been Ambien. (Wine?) I just remember your typing was really, really bad. In a good sort of way. And you had some interesting stuff to say.

The first thing that pops into my head is from a scant two years ago involving one Squiggy, one Madbaggins, and one James Van Der Beek.

ZOMG I AM DYING

*bows down to Squiggy in respect to an authentic master of the form*

I'm reading that thread again. Including my recent daughter, I still think that's the best thing I've ever done.

That was amazing! Just amazing. I feel humbled just being in your presence

Carl has become a part of Internet culture. That's more than we could have hoped for at the time.

I always thought you invented Carl, actually...

Did a brief Google search, and besides various photos, this came up, from 2008:

Oh, wait. I think there was a time that involved both Ambien and wine. I know that happened on Facebook!

Say, what happened to Flaming Liberal? That woman had spunk.

I really liked her! A few months ago I was browsing the Manic Panic site for inspiration, and found her picture there -- at least, I'm almost positive it was her. Alas, it appears to be gone.

She comes around once in a while…not very often

She goes by Nevermore now, I think.

Carl's very groovy and cool and I'd like to be able to claim credit, but I just borrowed he image and ran with it as one of my avatars. Shatmandu and a few others deserve the accolades.

Love those images on that page. Man, I miss the old days.

Those were glorious times.

It nseems MadBaggins seasons 1 & 2 are gone, season 3 is still there:

Not as sharp as previous easons, you have been warned.

"Ed Legs" needed a bigger role. MB should have taken the Kramer or Urkel approach with some of his characters - when they get the bigger laughs, play that shit up. Don't expect Potsie to carry the whole show.

 

[Pingfah]

Yes. I always read the whole thread before posting in it.

This made me laugh so hard I've started crying. I'm at work and trying to stifle the laugh-tears as much as possible.

I could not ask for more

I didn't realize that. I remember seeing a member with that name, though it's been a while.

Wasn't mrcoaster the infamous "naked moderator"? What happened to him? I can't recall; I see in his profile hasn't posted since 2012.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

I thought Frontline was our 16 Bit avatar of nude moderation.

A Great Moment in TrekBBS history just happened with the closing and banning of the Babe of the Week threads! The Good Guys won.

I've been told off for putting guys. So The Good Gender Neutral Persons Won!

OK, Gender Non-specific Persons...

Or maybe People? Is people better?

Arrrgh! PC gone mad!

 

[RevdKathy]

'People' is good. Nice and inclusive. Unless you're a pony. Or a unicorn (always be a unicorn). Or a badger...

 

[CorporalCaptain]

The Good Beings won....

 

[CorporalClegg]

We can be heroes!
