Chase's contest and the reveal of the prize was one of the funniest things I've ever read. I think The Batiri from Chikara were on these boards at that time and were inspired by it, because they sell something very similar at the merch tables.

These threads just remind me that a lot of people haven't been here a very long time. I know right? They probably weren't even here for that funny thread made by what's his face. You know the one I'm talking about.

Before this thread turns into a love fest over the whole guy buttering up his underage girlfriend and paying her for sex with N64 games, do yourself a favor and Google the details. That post is an early, text only incarnation of micro memes. It's EVERYWHERE, and it hardly originated here. what, did you write the story yourself or something? Who gives a crap where people think it's from.

Who gives a crap where people think it's from. It betrays common sense to see so many people thinking that that thread had any shred of validity or originality every two weeks when one of these threads pops up. It's somehow become WF lore, when it was on the same plane of thought as someone posting the latest 'doge' image or something and being lavished with praise til the end of time for it. Also - wow, that struck a nerve with you, huh?

It didn't strike a nerve, this is just the second time this kind of topic has gotten posted recently and this is the second time I've seen you try and police the origins of some copypasta. Which is why I asked why does it matter?

Apparently I haven't harped on it enough, because remarkably some people still don't know.

This isn't the best but I cracked up on it: Some guy started a thread about pouring cereal after milk and everyone was hating on him for it and at the bottom of page 1 there was a comment that said "Hitler poured milk first" I legit had tears running down my face. Glad I brought joy. I'll probably never top it. And looking back, Ball Straight Call is my favorite.

The thread about somebody doing "a thing" and it tasting like Pancake batter. I haven't eaten pancakes since.

The Christmas bail money, by FAR!
I still re-read that entire thread from time to time and even friends who aren't WFIGS members reference it quite a bit with me.

Yeah, I have no idea what any of these threads are about, I wish we had a HoF archive for these things...
Some of the ones I remember are ; *The Bronx's customs - He was what made the custom board around here when we all started out *Hearing the news about Quirk. - Such a sad day. Like many of the early users around here, Quirks Customs page from '99 is what got me into figs/customizing. I don't remember if I interacted with him on here, or on the old WrestlingTalks boards, but he was such a nice guy. I think his mother or sister or girlfriend posted on here after he died. For those of you who don't know, Quirk died after a botched Asai Moonsault at an Ultimate Championship Wrestling show in '05. *R-3 - The announcements, arguments, figure finding reports. * Some dude, I think his name was "The Shredder" or something. He used to do these show reports that were bad. I mean they were the worst writing I've ever seen. I don't remember how long ago it was, but whenever I think about this forum I think about how much that guys' reviews sucked. * The coming out of the closet posts...I have gay family members. I have gay friends. I lived with a bunch of theater kids in college, and walked in on one of them and the skinniest Hispanic guy I've ever seen in mid-coitus and it didn't bother me. What drove me away from here for a while was some guy coming out here to the forums, then going around trolling and telling on anyone who made a slur. Not towards the individual in question, but like if someone made a "Oh, that Rico is so gay!" type of post the member would get a PM from an admin. This happened to a good friend of mine on here, someone who I had met on the WrestlingTalks forums in '99 and came over to this forum with me. My friend ended up getting kicked off of here for saying he didn't like Rico's character. He didn't say he had a problem with Slappy (oops) but that he changed the channel whenever Rico was on. lol, I know that isn't exactly a "classic" thread, but it was a HUGE pain to a lot of people here when it was going on. There was a little group who migrated to another forum because of that stuff who are still very active on said forum. * The Backyard wrestler who beat up the female backyard wrestler. I don't remember names, but someone beat up a girl backyard wrestler so bad that she had to "retire". I think that actually went on in a few different threads, people arguing back and forth about how the girl shouldn't have been wrestling/the guy should be in jail/backyard wrestling sucks/no it doesn't/where's the video of this girl getting beat up/ it went on and on. *I started a thread on here a few years ago, talking about how I broke up with my girlfriend for spending 300 bucks getting a Rock Band Set/Xbox 360. This was right in the middle of the "OMG Guitar Hero rulz!" phase that people were in. I wasn't one of them. Anyways, I got killed for breaking up with her. I think some people even accused me of making the whole thing up! What's funny, is that here I am years later and I'm back with the girl. On top of that, the RB/GH bubble burst! I had friend who would play that stuff every weekend, so much to the point where I stopped hanging out with them. Just like with Em, here we are years later and I hang out with those people all the time. Sometime's it's brought up how douche-y they feel for being so into that crap.

These threads just remind me that a lot of people haven't been here a very long time. I first found the forum in 2005, but I hid in the Pic Feds, Animation, Posed Shots, & Custom Accessories sections. I also didn't thoroughly read, but rather look for pictures of figures. For all intents & purposes though, I've only been a serious member since 2010 & read next to nothing compared to the rest of you.
