On the board there were running gags/memes. PM Foos , EasyRider be old... there's a few more but honestly I'm too embarrassed to name drop them in case it was only over with me. Do you think the proboards era of PW has it's own things at this point? Or terms that are probably only a thing here? Like some PW exclusive inside joke? To really qualify I think all you need to do is see it repeated by someone that isn't you at least a few times, preferably from more than one user. I think then it gets "over" and becomes part of the culture. Basically if PW was it's own wiki, what would have it's own page? Do you feel you created any or helped push them?

*DDTs @ness*

I did do the whole backwards typing thing, plus the Silver Armadillo on Talk Like a Pirate Day. That was the old boards.

freaking newbs

Remember when the kids started gimmick posting like they were living it up on the Jersey Shore?

Also remember whenever anybody was arguing wrestling, they would chop the post up 50 times and respond to every little bit, sometimes with some snippy little comments?

Bump.

I remember years ago mikec did a project putting together a PW history that quite a few people contributed to - hopefully that wasn't lost in the ether?

Definitely lost forever.

The 50 page New York Jets thread would be easily one of the biggest highlights of the last forum. My magnum opus contribution to the internet. There will be nothing like that ever again. We tried it with the Knicks thread that Detfink created, it came close but it didn't have the midas touch.

That was when the Jets were America's team and contenders, long ago. Very long ago.

I guess not so much inside jokes but more tropes or running gags?

We all are JJ marks in the AEW forum. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre champion is having the best run he had in decades.

Some see it as weird, others see it as captivating. I get the juice flowing on the boards, been doing this for 2 decades and counting! Damn right UT! Imagine if they were actually good!

C getting jumped in every thread like Hulk Hogan walking through Harlem.

UT being a dink.

Foos' 'do you read comics', The NFO, PW Mania, Howard and 'bring back the mature forum'. 

I assume UT being a dink is universal wherever he is.

I do miss when new posters signed up and made their introductions. I had forgotten about my welcoming question about comics!

ITT: most posters ignoring @ness question about current board culture.

😎 GOOD TIMES 😎

NFO for life
