The lit old timers thread

[Not Normal]

You know, I still use that to this day in my postings elsewhere. I'm sure it dates me as much as throwing people off by saying "groovy", but it makes me happy.

That and messaging people in the hope they get a notification about it.

I'm more reluctant about that. The roots are before your time here, but lists can be hurtful to the people that get left out. They can feel slighted or forgotten. I've posted about it before. Series of contacts feels a lot like a list to me. EVEN SO, I applaud those of you who are reaching out, and those of you who are answering the call, and those of you who are succeeding.

Yeah I'm just sending to people who's names ring a bell

Now that the Nigerian president has been deposed in a military coup, do you think the prince will return and start restoring all of those American bank accounts?

I think Lance calling unclej's mother prior to unclej's funeral (2007/8ish) and tattling on him for being at Lit -- and then bragging/posting about his deed here (as well as outting unclej here) -- was the end of the rope for some. I knew several teachers and people with jobs that couldn't handle exposure here who called it quits. Throw in the exposed message logs proving a concerted effort to undermine certain posters (one being me) and it made one think "What am I doing here?" There were other places popping up in which to stay in contact with those you cared about, without the threat of exposure or slander or ugly, bitting snark that became normalized. It just wasn't fun anymore. Now I am older and bored and it is fun to remember the good stuff. Damnation there were some really intelligent sharp-witted folk here that I enjoyed so much.

I never quite left here, except for a few VERY extended breaks. There has been lots of fun to help offset the ugliness. Still, it's left a very bad taste for me to this day that some had to take things into real life, especially just to inflict pain over being butthurt on a forum.

There are some here who know a lot of details about me. None of them have betrayed me.

I understand and hope the future here will be a better experience.

This. Plus, people were getting outted here quite a bit. It got to where you didn't know who to trust. If you knew people IRL, it was just safer to stick exclusively with things like Facebook.

Yes, a lot of us moved there.

Speaking of snark, does anybody get the urge to start a parody thread when they see "I'm disappointed because of my atheism" ? Like [ I'm disproportional because of my athleticism.] or [things are disjointed because of my astigmatism] for examples.

I’m tempted to do that to all the misplaced posts.
Let’s do it!
