Der.

Yeah of course TJNR was first and people left and came here.

People left for a reason.

People like you dolts are the reason.

You prove my point with everything you say and do.

Collectively you're retarded. Not one of you even amounts to half a tard, but together you tardly and strong.

Thanks for inadvertantly backing me up by embarrassing yourselves.

Good times.

Dear Aim_on Myface,
I hate to break it to you, but TNJR (or Crap as I like to call it), was not first. Actually given the lineage it was closer to 3rd when you include the "quits", hosting issues and general apathy by that yellow bastard.

Now if you take a look at Crap you will see that it is not the dead community to which you speak, it actually has more members now than it ever did in any previous incarnation. Do you not see the irony in putting us all down as retarded? There is a common denominator in all your claims and it's not us (See: bathroom mirror). I feel as if your mother should be getting a visit from the Department of Defense though Planned Parenthood would be a candidate.

Next I'm going to propose a small theory. I postulate that it was us who left Crap and not that we drove people away. The majority of those posting in this thread have had little or no activity on Crap for quite some time. If we are not there then it is not possible that we are the driving force behind a mass exodus. Your case again may be the exception to the rule due to your apparent lemming fetish. Since you're slave to the cubicle culture I'd suggest that for your own comfort, and to a lesser degree my amusement, you decorate your workstation with a monitor rim that celebrates the immortal goat.se. That should make you feel right at home, prevent any of those awkward social distractions the rest of us call "meaningful conversation”, and give you a familiar view.

Wow that was stupid.

I postulate that you're a pustule.

I'd write more but that was too dumb. You don't get a real response.

But you do get this lovely tote bag. It looks like a stereo which is cool because now everyone will know you rock.



Thanks for playing.

[bligityblah]

How long have you been sitting on that one? I'm betting Judd was departing the football field...


Do "fake" responses usually involve pre-hashed comebacks with no real substance?

Someone should post a small history lesson with the different names (and people migration) so it can be referred back to. I know I've pestered Smash and Pang before with "who's this? who's that?"

I joined TJNR in fall of '04 -- but I've yet to post. My simple (and most probably flawed) understanding is that about 2/3s of the "regs"* left TJNR when it was sold. A few of these went to Purge's site (most of Purge's folks are also TJNR, I think), a few went to Creepy Bob's (now extinct), and a few went to Matt's. The majority of Matt's site do not frequent TJNR. (As an aside, it appears the majority of Matt's also don't frequent DLT, either the front page or forums).

So, when someone refers to "reg" it can have different levels of meaning. It's like talking about generations of vampires for Anne Rice. People refer to Zot & Crow as "regs", but I usually hear Smash & the others refer to them as if they were still new. Also, Smash's "Old" moniker is not only a reference to his age, but the fact he's been around Justin for ages.

Maybe someone can give a breakdown about who started in the "Yellow 'verse" and when:

--Edit--
Zero gen: Justin's blogs / journal / Nathanism / etcetera
Justin (duh), Suzi, Eve (Germany), Thess, Keli

First gen: BIAGW
Smash, Embus, Bubba, Pangwinking, Bligityblah, Jamdez, PacmanJesus, Umgawa, theSuit, JSD, TheFelinePunk

Second gen: TJNR-YABB (aka, pre-June '04)
Dex, Mandarin, Zot, Rushie, KVL, Grey_Fox24, Zot, Father_Ted

Third gen: TJNR-IPB (aka, post-June '04)
Droppy, Purge(?)

Fourth gen: Offshoot sites like Matt's, Purge's and Bob's (and JSD's)
Steampunk

Fifth gen: DLT
???
--End of Edit

* Regs means those on the old YABB system, i.e. those with a date of 17 June 04 as their start date. My understanding is that the real "regs" go back to Justin's first blogging and BIAGW -- I've heard these "true regs" are people like Suzi, [s]Embus and Clarissa[/s], yes? I believe most (not all) of the moderators at TJNR now were n00bs during either the YABB days or even after 17 June 04.

** Real regs, please feel free to correct this and shit all over it.

From Justin, via <a href='http://dontlinkthis.com/archives/1501' target='_blank'>this post</a>:

Here’s the skinny. For most of the past 5 years or so, i had always been hosted for free. Never had to spend a single dime running the site. In the beginning, the site was on some free geocities-like server. stas.net or some shit. Then i got hosted on a subdomain at nathanism.com. Then i got picked up by the solosnet network. And they even bought me a proper domain name. Then my site just got too big to be hosted for free anymore and the site was closed for a few months. And i was relegated to livejournal HELL. Then another kind soul offered to host me for free again and buy me a new domain name. And thus from the ashes of badinagoodway.com came thatsjustnotright.com. So all was well until the site got too big to be hosted for free. Again. So then for the first time ever, i struck out on my own [DLT.com] and paid for my own hosting.

[Smash]

I'd call the 'before' 0 gen. Back in the days of Justin and suzi and even before that. damn....I cant even remember those things.

[Seriously]

<span style='color:maroon'>I haven't heard the term "regs" in a while, and I think it might be for the best not to bring it back.

Also, I think Justin might keep making new sites because he gets sick of the "history" of the old ones, although I don't think that's something I've really been respecting much either.





Anyways, the truth is that we left Tijnur because we were banished.

We were driven away. Just like Bad in a Good Way, and maybe like Nathanism, I wasn't there for that one.

There was a poll and everything, you might remember it, it was called "ZOMG i HATCHU".


I remember campaigning to be banished, as a joke, but I totally got my just desserts when it actually happened. I though everyone just loved my wacky antics, but winning/losing that poll showed me just what a loser I really am. I really stopped laughing then. Everything since then has been me trying to keep up the facade.

It wears on me.

The truth is, we're all pariahs, and now that the anti-loser police has come for us here too, we'll all have to run and hide somewhere else.


I'm getting tired of running, there can't be much internet left anymore.

I think the internet hates us.




I'm going to go swallow some pills.</span>

BWHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously at his best!

It seems to me that you can't label who's reg and who isn't because reg is a relative term.

It seems that every new generation considers those before it to be regs, while people in the same generations aren't so quick to "reg" other people in it. Ex. I suppose people from TJNR would call me a reg...because I was there longer than them. While people from Fubar and beyond would consider me like Mandarin said once "not new".

I don't know why we need this classification system anyway. This whole elitist ideal tore down Fubar, why carry it in new iterations?

I whole-heartedly agree. It's just that the term "reg" was being thrown around*, and it was refering to TJNR (as in recent TJNR). If someone comments on the site (I don't mean to posts a comment -- I mean to comment ABOUT the site), they should have a sense of who's who. Not a pecking order, just a sense of the history of the place. Why comments like "WTF? 12!" are made about Suzi or Smash is called "Old".

With no moderation in place, the reg thing really can't get out of hand. It can neither help clean up the place nor be abused.

On that note, I, for one, will probably go back to only reading the front page if this inane shit keeps up. Embus' or Mao's or Bligs' tirades are typically humorous. But most of this is juvenile poo-flinging.

* Actually, that's not quite true. But reference was made to TJNR as if people like Bligs and Smash and JSD were "from there". They clearly were from a long time ago, and in the case of those three, are no longer "at" TJNR. My bad for bringing up the term "reg". I should have been more clear and just outlined the "generations" of when folks joined and what the site was like then. Mea culpa.

That's a shame, steampunk. I actually enjoy reading your posts.

Personally, I prefer going to a forum where you don't have to introduce yourself.

And I don't particularly care who you are - reg, noob, tranny - the important thing to me is the building of a community. To do that you have to have people willing to be productive.

Yeah, people are only going to tell you what they want you to hear in an intro. I always felt that you were going to learn more about a person by the quality of their posts.

And one year ago...deja vu.

Quite honestly, this is ridiculous. For the most part, members here are inactive there. There are a few exceptions *I can give 5 names off the top of my head.* At the end of the day, thats not going to make or break the forum. What is will be the decisive factor in that is dwelling on the past and posting bad insults geared at people. Sometimes, I enjoy reading what JSD, Smash, or Mao insult me with. It makes the day go by. I don't particularly care and its not going to eat at my conscience. Furthermore, I'm not going to sit and type a 4 paragraph rebuttal to it. Eamon, just let things go. If you don't like it here, there are plenty of other places to go to.

Oh and Bligs, I'll look up that tail number for ya. I think Phife might remember as well.
