Remember when...
We could hand out trophies to those that deserved them?
We could hand out Poo to those that deserved them?
We earned a ranking for our posts?
We got extra credit for starting threads?
We got extra extra credit if those threads amounted to something?
There were no trolls, just a bunch of idiot n00bs?
I was one of those idiot n00bs? (hey, who just said I still am?!)
Community wasn't separated? It was all just "community"?
RC.com had a cool logo?
There was that "monkey" experiment?
WELL, DO YA?
Josh

Hrmph. For a minute there I was hoping this was some kinda sick nostalgia thread. Was gonna bust out a bunch of pics of old pro and lycra. Carry on.

Hey, man, nothing's stopping you. This is a "remember when" thread. Nothing says you have to conform to my memories, so bust 'em out.

Josh What was it about the logo that you liked best, BEC? It didn't remind you anything, did?
Well, at least it wasn't as sterile as the current logo.
Can we all agree to never mention the monkey again? I hated that thing.
Remember when they made poo ratings visible, and there was a rash of retaliatory poo-flinging? It was better than a trip to the monkey house at the zoo.
Hey, maybe that's the monkey tie-in!

I remember that you thought all the trophies and poo were just a bunch of.....well, poo. Regardless I gave trophies to quite a few of your posts, and I still would if possible.

Maybe that was the subliminal hook that kept people coming around during the impossibly-long-load-time era.

Remember when the guys/girls of rockclimbing.com threads were going strong?

Nope. This site has never been idiot free. It was written into the charter.

You are #349 and just about to pass Redlegrangerone.

Remember when the admin suggested having an rc.com meetup but then didn't organize it - so some rc'ers did, and we had a great time in JTree(April 2005, wasn't it?).
