Anyone remember the longest post ever?

Looking back on that post I was reminded of how often I used to get banned. Kind of funny really... people would always ask how they could kill themselves because they wanted to commit suicide but were only a kid and didn't have a gun and I would tell them to starve themselves. That didn't go over well.

But I mean come on you have to go about two weeks without eating and you get weak and there's immense pain, nobody's going through with that. I always figured it was a good way to get them to cool out and maybe even lose some weight. Hell if someone made it three days without eating I'd be very surprised.

One time I was telling someone about swallowing some Drano and I got like two weeks in the slammer.. hah. Somehow I had managed to repress all the memories of how often I got hit by the ban hammer. lol

Other than guessing from language, can anyone tell who the anonymous posters are?

Right. I think if you use a different device it is different. My kids used to come here and they had no trouble telling us apart.

I remember when Billy was on the rooftop with the Beatles. He's a pretty special guy.

I think the mods can. They used to be able to at least.

I'm still looking for the one that used to blink.

If you want to befriend someone of the opposite gender and don't want to seem "interested", how?

I'm sure you can have an online friendship with a guy without any sexual advances. If you're just kind of cold and matter of fact and not too overly friendly it shouldn't be a problem at all.

But really what is the motivation for the friendship? Are you seeking to gain knowledge or something? I think if you are just looking for companionship without any entanglements it would be easier if there wasn't the whole male/female thing involved.

Not a problem. Loaded in less than 4 minutes, but I noticed that I was complaining on that post about it taking my computer 1 minute and 53 seconds to load so things are slowing down. Now I get Yeti's reply too, he wrote the last thing that was said on that post... we were racing to 6,789 replies at that point. And what is the May 13, 2014 date everywhere? Is that when the original Help died? :(

I could be wrong. I'm still trying to decipher what YETI said up there. And yeah I didn't mean we were the only ones that replied on that post, just that we were there an awful lot. Like every day for years... my fingers are itching now. I'm crawling in the rabbit hole, send for help if I don't make it back.

Have people forgotten how to respectfully disagree?

I think it's a trend that comes from being anonymous while using a computer. When you actually were face to face with people discussing things you tried to be civil, now that everyone is a blip on a screen it's much easier to just make fun of people or get into heated arguments and threaten each other. It means nothing really, until someone cracks and shoots up facebook... that's the problem. Well that and people whose whole reality has been computer oriented. Maybe that's why so many kids are going off, they really don't live in the real world.

I'm not going there. First of all my computer isn't as good as it used to be, like a lot of thing in my life now, and I'm afraid it would just lock up for 10 or 15 minutes. I've heard bad stories from other people about what that post did to their computers...

Plus if I did go there I'd likely be up until 5 AM just trying to read through what was going on there. It's probably a lot like a diary of my life for a few years.

Yeah Caitherra, and Hasta, and Pianoman, and wait was noface Y E T I?? He was, wasn't he??? I think everyone else was afraid to download the monster. Plus we changed the name every couple of months and had races to 1,000 replies, then 2,000 replies etc. etc. etc... boy do I ever remember.
