Summer NS Redemption.
I feel all young and new because I only joined something like 2 years ago, but I lurked a little before then...
It's kinda cool to comprehend the magnitude of this thread without knowing quite what's happening.
And by the way, here's a post I made about the history of NS, and Harvey's first post in this thread SO TOTALLY PROVES IT:
Why hello, good sir. I see that you are making effective use of one of the Internet's most popular fishing techniques: trolling. In order to effectively troll, one must send personal messages to green-named members of Newschoolers asking for a raise in Karma. These green-named members are tremendously powerful, and often benevolent to the kind inquirer. Two of the kindest of these green-named members are Rowen, and Ryno. They will be glad to raise your karma if you send them a humorous joke or entertaining picture, along with the phrase, "karma plz". These jokes and humorous pictures can easily be found by way of the "you laugh you lose" thread. The reason for which these members have green names is because they are particularly sympathetic to trolls such as yourself, and the almighty and fair force known as Tom Wallisch, very lifeblood of this website, is particularly stron with them, as it is with the sinister red-named Sith members. These mysterious members appear to have powers far surpassing the green-named members, despite the far greater numbers of the green-named members, and little is known about them except that they are tremendously powerful- powerful enough even to alter the very fabric of this website. The battle between the green-named members and the red-named members has lasted many years, with members from both sides having fallen in their lines of duty. Papasteeze Kenobi, a green named member, is just one recent example of this tragic result of the battle. Recently, the green named members have found two new hopes in the battle against evil: Jodi and snwbrdmlf. They have been training in a secret facility known to very few, and only rumored to exist, the Moderator Forum. Little is known regarding this facility, however rumors of it's existence give hope to the people of Newschoolers. Jodi and snwbrdmlf have grown to love each other during their training, though unbeknownst to them, it can never be: they originate from the same ip address, both having been created by the once-present, powerful red-named member, Darth Harveyder. Though the green-named members will nearly be forced out of existence, Jodi and snwbrdmlf will triumph in the quest to free the Newschooliverse from the grasp of evil, and the green-named members will once again flourish in order to bring peace.
So I commend you, dear sir, in your quest for betterment through jovial contribution to the community of Newschoolers, and leave you with a single nugget of advice: always open the fortune cookie before you eat it- you never know what you might find.
