The Gaming Den

I know Random Casualty hasn't been on these boards for quite some time now, but I wonder what he thinks about the American Tea Party. Not that I'd think he agree with their aims, but I think they're a good example of what sufficiently motivated people can do even when it seems like they have no effect on the government at large. Granted, I didn't say that the effect would be positive, but that's a different thing from 'voting is pointless' since they're like the biggest shakeup to the electorate in decades and they came out of like nowhere unlike the Southern Strategy or the Moral Majority.

Holy shit. Six years, seriously?

Forums need that little paperclip guy, and everytime someone posts in a dead thread he shows up and says "You appear to be trying to revive the dead. Does your post contribute material appropriate to the time it's being posted, or are you just responding to something someone said six years ago?"

He felt so strongly about that dead thread that he went through the trouble of creating a new account for this.

There are posts from 6 years ago here? Didn't those get lost in the changeover?

There's another forum I post on that will put up a red-lettered warning after you click the submit button once the thread hasn't been responded to in something like 90 or 120 days. It will still let you post, but at least it warns you.

I wasn't aware anything got lost at all. It's not searchable for some reason I don't remember, but it should all be there.

Links that were included in posts from before the changeover no longer work, but there are still threads from like 2003 and 2004 that can be found via searching.

Behold.

So we're dry humping a dead thread by saying
oh my god, look how dead this thread is. oh god, yes!"?
