I miss the old days

[Proud Lieberal from Northeast]

I miss the old days when Mark Warner used to be a reccuring joke here.

I miss the old days when you could post s**t and nobody cared.

I miss the old days when Mikado was a nice gentleman, before he became mad with power.

I miss the old days when VanderBlubb posted frequently.

I miss the old days when this forum had relatively few Paultards. And few Paultarded too.

I miss the old days when the what-if board was the busiest one.

I miss the old days when we all laughed as DWTL's retarded comments.

I miss the old days when CoburnIn2012 had a liberal sock.

I miss the old days when Mechaman was writing about incest.

I miss the old days when we were dumb enough to assume the Democrats will enlarge their congressional majority in 2010.


Guys, what happened to us?

[So the Heroes Fall]

Those are not the "old days".

[ilikeverin]

Those are not the "old days".

Emphatically this.

[Joe Republic]

I miss the old days before Kalwejt.

I miss the old days before Kalwejt.

If I were you, I'd feel the same way.

[Keystone Phil]

Those definitely are not the old days, dude.

I'm so glad I arrived here during the height of the Golden Era.

[CathKhan]

I guess I arrived during the beginning of the decline or somewhere in it.

[Big DaddyTX]

I remember arguing that it wasn't a sure thing that the democrats would win the House in 2006. Man, did things turn fast that year.

[For Oklahoma]

I guess I arrived during the beginning of the decline or somewhere in it.

Golden Era = 2003-2005

[Keystone Phil]

Golden Era = 2003-2005

Specifically, late 2003/early 2004 (when I started lurking) to early 2005.

Those Mark Warner "jokes" (apparently they had humorous intent, although I never understood how) were the worst.

Those Mark Warner "jokes" (apparently they had humorous intent, although I never understood how) were the worst.

But those people, who worshipped Mark Warner, were pretty much a joke.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It was the summer of 2009...

[So the Heroes Fall]

I'd consider the Golden Era to be (unsurprisingly) 2006. That was definitely the peak of the forum, remember all the arguing about Santorum (ah some things never change) and the Lieberman race? The Hillary/Obama primary also is probably the most interesting electoral event the forum has ever gone through, so that too deserves a mention.

[For Oklahoma]

2004-2007 was also like the only time that Atlasia was really respected.

[Senator Ben]

But those people, who worshipped Mark Warner, were pretty much a joke.

I disagree

The events you describe are definitely not the old days.  I started here in 2004 under the account, BushAlva, and really became active in 2005 under BushOklahoma (only changed from BushAlva due to lost password).  I think the highlight (or lowlight) of the forum was the dazzleman/texasindy/jamespol soap opera of several years ago.  That was a fun time and I remember being ridiculed and laughed at and mocked for being friends with jamespol (incidentally, I am still friends with the man).  I now remember those days with a smile and a giggle.

[Proud Lieberal from Northeast]

For me, they are

Yeah, you're still a pup on the forum.

[President Marokai]

Everyone has a different "golden era" of this forum. Nostalgia is terrible.

(Though like Yankee I'm a big fan of 2009. )

[Dr. Cynic]

2007 wasn't a great year for me at all, so that's not a golden age.

Actually, nostalgia is not a good thing. Just enjoy the time you have here and if you're not, then go.

But, seeing all those prebupescent boys, that joined after me, I feel really old sometimes

That's for sure.
