Philotic Web

Because I just don't think it's going to be possible to make the switch without a healthy dose of reminiscing, I thought we should have a place to get nostalgic about the days of limeade and Calvinball and "What the Rahl", so that all of our favorite Pweb quirks and inside jokes won't disappear into the Philotic Abyss (tm).

Oh, Calvinball. And Alliances. I'm still one of the sole surviving members of the Prarie Dog Alliance. The good ol' days, when HA and I used to duct-tape goats to the limeade tree.

Red Fox Alliance!

Then I think I turned traitor to the CA. But the CA sort of grew beyond Calvinball.

jebus has already hit on a bunch of former pweb delights in his various postings around the board (paul is winning at the new forum, did you know?)

but i think what i'll miss most, actually, are the posts themselves. i always loved the history of the board. that i could go back and read what was happening months or even years ago.

Remember when the goat was your ex in a costume?

Come to think of it.... that alliance was just you, me and Josh, wasn't it? And josh is here, so it seems to be going strong.

I wonder where LG is.... Haven't seen him in awhile and been wishing to talk to him lately.

It was you, me and Josh, wasn't it. Hrm. Good team there. Much potential for mischief.


Josh? Still our ally?

but i think what i'll miss most, actually, are the posts themselves. i always loved the history of the board. that i could go back and read what was happening months or even years ago.

You know, that and your icon go well together. And I hear where you're coming from...

Sometimes I wonder if this generation will be the most oddly documented, because there are so many holes from when people wanted to erase their pasts.

Red Fox Alliance!

Then I think I turned traitor to the CA. But the CA sort of grew beyond Calvinball.

That's right you did. Broke my heart.

prairie dogs for life!

(almost said "prairie doggin' it for life" but i figured people would take that the wrong way.)

Stoned Kermit!

And the oft misused %you%

I'd wondered if the %you% would work or not, but hadn't occasion to test it, yet... alas

I was pretty sure %you% wouldn't work anymore. *sad*

Though maybe someone here is wonderful with code and can make it work.

Remember that one time when I was voted funniest poster? Good times.

The invisible thread!

Those of us who think ahead still have Stoned Kermit.

Yeah, but it would be ideal to be able to do it without always having to link to an external image.

How many people were on the first Pweb?

Me!!!!

Me too!

Me three.

I'm blue. I can't help it. I was, simultaneously, almost at my 3,000 post and my 4th anniversary.

Much sadness. I liked going back into old posts and seeing how clever I was. Or thought I was.

Onward and upward?

Oh, and I liked the invisible thread.

Oh, and remember the little forum folder that was always just kind of hanging in space by the PhiloticWeb logo? When it first showed up there, it bothered me, but I grew fond of it.

I lost... I lost my arguments with OG. And my Harry Potter 3 thread. And the time I burnt John.

*goes into mourning with the realisation*

Well... I am sure you can still burn me in effigy....

Now that you mention it, I really hope that OG comes back...

I lost... I lost my arguments with OG. And my Harry Potter 3 thread. And the time I burnt John.

*goes into mourning with the realisation*

The arguments with OG are lost?

Oh, god! That's tragic!

Me three.

zero was there!

I liked being able to go back to old posts and reading them.

ZOO SEX!!!

We lost the kittens.

*mourns*

Yes... the kittens....

Okay, I admit it. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Kimmie had Kittens. Hardly anyone remembers them. Each kitten had a godparent.

i remember the kittens because i didn't get one. *pouts*

and i, too, was on older olde pweb.

Kimmie had Kittens. Hardly anyone remembers them. Each kitten had a godparent.

I totally remember that!

What fun!


...and whatever happened to the Philly boys?

I miss my kittens. I have their names written down someplace. I remember some of them (Piewacket was such a great name.)

At least one Philly boy is here...I'm sure the others will join in the coming months...I just don't think they check the board as frequently...

I miss having a second line on for the topic names, so that you could put a saracastic (or sincere) little explanation for your thread title. I miss that a lot.
