So On The Real, How Did NT "Used To Be"

[daytona 5000]

On the old NT I would hit my post limit daily.
Now, not so much.

One of the funniest things I remember was when some dude got banned and made a new screen names just to come in here to make tons of threads trashing a mod here. I forgot which mod it was, but I believe it was either dirty or meth. This kid was hilarious, threads started off with "_______ sucks ________" or "________ likes to ________". And he made TONS of them...this was probably in late o5 or o6 and it was a late night attack. I can't be the only that remembers this...

People took things pretty seriously too; I think it was DOM and TRH arguing back and forth in the WDYWT section.

Dude this might have been true only from the beginning until about 2001... with 50,000+ members you're going to see some monotony.
Also I'll just leave this here

I just remember people would tag it and post it for people that were new here so I gave myself a small welcome.

[x i a n 9]

i've been lurking since about '03 and didn't join till '05. method does make a valid argument. maybe we've all just matured and don't take interests in these new posts like before. hell, i've basically grown up on NT...got me through high school AND college. i do agree that there were more quality/funny posts back in the day. the harlem shake story, everyone beasting on Bana (who was one of like 3 girls on here), survival guide to college, and the original confessions posts.

with that said, im still a frequent viewer because NT still entertains me. and it's not like i have anything better to do (damn unemployment

There was an automatic level of respect knowing you were posting with someone who you would be posting with for awhile.

It wasn't about -look what i have and you dont- like it is now.

It's almost like the difference between fast food and a nice sit down restaurant.

Don't get me wrong i am not complaining or saying it's lame now and was perfect back in the day, it's just different.

Spot on
