Significant Moments in Atlas Forum History!

[Bacon King]

Post them here. A lot of newer posters don't know plenty of this forum's history and traditions!

Thread inspired by this post:

I don't really want to psychoanalyze you, as appealing at that sounds.  but you just show far too many of the signs.  you want to be respected.  you want to be a USElectionAtlas Moderate Hero just like Gabu, Joe Republic, and some other blowhards. 

This is the earliest recorded reference to Ben as a Moderate Hero.

Just for historical record.

not to brag, but I also invented fantasy politics and was the first to refer to BRTD as 'BRTD'.  among other things, of course.

Whoever invented FreedomFIghter and Horrible Person.

[King]

I wouldn't put too much stock in that post.  Tweed would claim to have been the genius responsible for you if you'd let him.  Moderate heroes invented moderate heroism.

The earliest reference to freedom fighter I remember was during a strange BRTD fetish obsession circa 2004 where he fell in love in with the idea of militia women in rebellions.  He would post polls asking for the hot/not opinion of a picture of freedom fighters.

I don't know remember how horrible person came about, but they eventually merged to form the yin-yang foundation of traditional Atlasian moral philosophy.

Nah, the quoted post is in fact the beginning of the term moderate hero.

I vote Utah. BRTD has managed to take liberal positions on all things I'm conservative about (sex, drugs, alcohol)

Yay! We can leave the state together and be happy! *hug hug hug*

Yay

Let's flee to Indiana, because Indiana's cool

*hughughug*

Though, I should note, *hughughug* was not considered to be "my" phrase for some time after its first use, when it was primarily used by Everett (and also CheeseWhiz and Yates).  Witness, for example:

You're a horrible person

In the words of dear Everett,

hughughug

That was more around 2005, but it wasn't the source of the actual use of the term Freedom Fighter. That was opebo who kept describing people he liked with the term even as most on the forum were disgusted by them (Polanski-type individuals).

WalterMitty. He frequently referred to people who were mildly offensive or annoying as a "horrible person". He was called out on it, it was noted that was simply his catchall term for anyone he didn't like, and it stuck.

Anyone want to list the frauds?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Hawkeye, Yates, GirlGoneWild and Joel are the most notable. HRossPerot is an often forgotten but memorable one.

     Along the same lines as GirlGoneWild, there's also BlueDogDem & the Populist. For that matter, 4mrlrkr exists as a bizarre footnote to the forum's history.

[bullmoose88]

Don't forget that Harrison guy...

[bgwah]

Child Exploitation? That's certainly reasonable justification for such a raid.

You doltish worker, there are no children involved.  The Forces of Social Control merely want to eliminate pornography.   Max merely dresses girls just turned 18 up to look like they're twelve, then sodomizes them.  If this doesn't define liberty, what does?

By the way, Max is a personal hero of mine, a true freedom fighter.  Good luck Max!

You're too young to know all those nasty stories.

If DownSyndrome was here, he'd brag about how he beat me 3-1 in an April 2007 election and proceed to say that I cried for a year over it.

I hereby dedicate this thread to the observation of Atlas Forum member from Idaho kljackson's crazy and sometimes offensive antics!

kljackson only really took off in 2006, however.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The post that started it all:

Just thought I would let everyone here know that I have a Valentine!!  The Valentine is of the female gender!!  I'm going to be a whole lot more careful with this one, so I probably won't post about her a whole lot.  Her name is Susan, 25 years old, from good ole' Choctaw, Oklahoma.  She has no children, and never even has had a boyfriend before.  We're just starting out as friends and we're going to let the Lord lead it from there!!

The sad thing is, Dave decided to delete unused accounts.

Especially sad considering kljackson was not an unused account.  Sure, the owner of the account didn't use it, but it was very much in use on this board.

Understandable......only The Roach could have beaten you in posts made in such a short time.  But you're still a relative newbie.

     Same here. Scary thing is, the large majority of people active in Atlasia today arrived after me. Boy, do I feel old now.
