Help me remember more or post what you remember, I only started posting in 08.

 

I'm going to dig through my archives, I have some old pics and screenshots somewhere.

I posted this in the other thread, re-posting here to keep it in the right place

 

Scene points
Smoking smarties
Stickam chats

 

@DarkHotline fantastic!

 

Ah chokeychicken. Last time I've seen anything about him, he was straight up humble bragging on Instagram about his jet set life of being a scalper iirc, acting as if he was a celebrity.

 

KeaganTime, the online chats that didn't involve Keagan. Kidchino also flashed his dick once.

 

fuck Jappleby forever

 

should sign the OP

New Again was like, fine. You would have thought they put out a harsh noise record judging by the reactions

 

Honestly gotta hand it to ACA. Guy got roasted day in and day out, never lashed out or broke character. Truly committed to posting and being online. Respect

 

JJR, the downfall of AP

 

still get annoyed about all that occasionally

 

Yeah, I never really understood the vitriol for NA. Like it wasn't amazing but it was a perfectly fine TBS record and the guy who replaced Fred was decent. I recall there was like a literal mob in the forums who chastised anyone who liked it, iirc there was one poster who was defiant to them and wrote a review praising it, which in turn got him shit on by said mob.

 

All the shitty AD takeovers we had to deal with.

Oh man. I can still picture some of the McDonald's ones.

 

What about the Lord Smi(?) I think his name was? Had the Guy F avatar, and was confirmed to be a posters alt.

 

Shark sib

 

I joined in I think 07 but didn’t really post until 09 but was not nearly as involved posting because I don’t remember a lot of this stuff!

 

That mht thread where he just dunked on anyone that posted

 

Do you think mht is alt right now

 

Let's crack the books on some of these stories, starting with...

The Paramore Chat Thread of 09 AKA When Brazil Shut Down AP

So to take us back, there was a time when Paramore was one of the biggest bands on the planet. Riot! was a smash hit and they had that song on the Twilight soundtrack, just huge. In 2009, they were set to release Brand New Eyes, their highly anticipated next record. AP was lucky enough to score a chat thread with Hayley Williams prior to the release, what a score! One problem though led to this mess, it was posted on a Brazilian Paramore fan page on FB(?) (Could be wrong here, clarify if incorrect) that this chat was to occur. So on the day of this chat, as it was to start, a tidal wave of Brazilian people created accounts and flooded the chat, desperate to exchange words with Hayley. The site struggled to uphold this and several crashes occurred. To compound on this, @Henry created a fake thread in General, which lead to another invasion that added to the struggle of the site staying online, arguably one of the best trolls I've ever witnessed. Eventually, the wave subsided, Henry's thread was locked, and the site survived. Still don't know how the chat went though, I'm sure it was grand.

 

I’m gonna say he settled down as he got older

 

I often wonder what happened to Nard

 

Damn, what coincidence haha. Was looking up something about an old album and happened upon a bunch of archived AP stuff this morning and have looking through it for like two hours. Savages, the whole site

 

jason telling @Wharf Rat to microwave his balls

jack appleby getting dunked on repeatedly
