Did you start a lot of threads on the old [asmb]?

Only one that caught on for any length of time - Now Playing on your Mind Jukebox (or something like that).  The rest were either spur of the moment or a current event related and has a shelf life, if they went anywhere at all.

NPMJ got shoved into a music folder, shriveled up & died. 

By the way, I had Kenny Rogers and the First Edition playing on my mind jukebox earlier. Good stuff.

I didn't start it, but I do remember the ASWF threads. They were technically roleplay threads but they allowed some of us (I was involved with it for a few months on two separate occasions) to exercise our writing muscles. It was fun stuff. (Well, at least the first time, anyway.)

Same. I remember having a lot of posts in @little_girl_lost's What do you think of the person above you thread. Posting in that thread was a lot of fun, for the most part.

Those are the threads I remember from late night back in the day, when I think about ASMB. We all had a lot of fun in threads like that, I think there a few other similar ones too

 

I never posted my own threads, and I'm pretty much the same on all platforms: I reply to stuff instead, because when I make my own thread/post/tweet it never really seems to get traction. I have like 26k points on imgur and the vast majority of them are from comments, which isnt bad considering I made the account like, a year and a few months ago lol EDIT: 27k, with one post worth 2.8k points. So somehow I generated enough comments to earn 24k points in the space of a year and about 2 months. Honest work I guess lol EDIT2: if anyone wants to find me on imgur I'm chaotic good trans girl, but without the spaces >.>

 

However, I do recall having a knack for derailing threads on the ASMB lmao

Wasn’t that really most of IB, though? :LithiumSmileyLaugh:

IB could have some really good topic threads but it existed for people to blow off their daily steam in pure silly that couldn't fit in other boards. 

I don't think 'Mad Abdul's House of Sweaters [ all we sell are socks ]' would have functioned in Babbling.

It absolutely amazes (and saddens) me that I spent nearly 4.5 years in IB, almost every day, and there’s so much that I just don’t remember. :LithiumSmileyLaugh::LithiumSmileySad:

I think I only started two - one asking if there were any body builders (because my friend wanted to see if there were any lmao - I reported back to her that everyone laughed :LithiumSmileyLaugh:) and another about whether I should cut my hair.  

Anyways, always appreciated the thread starters, especially since I didn’t.

Not really.  I mostly stayed in OA and responded to the What Anime are you Watching and What Manga are you Reading threads.

For awhile in IB and maybe a couple other folders, I used to make a bunch of elimination game threads.  Or something like that.

I liked it a lot but it was kinda a waste of time.  I took it too seriously in the end so I never tried to make one here.

Edit:  Although I did end up making a lot of threads here though.  My favorite is the YouTube thread.

Here's a rundown of the bulk of threads made by Cracky back in the day - 

Monty Python spam menu Memes - Imgflip

I think that summed up the majority of my posts on the old [asmb] :LithiumSmileyLaugh:

MY!

I made my fair share of threads in the Toonami folder, mostly for show discussions, plus a few others in the OA/Comedy folders that probably mostly focused on nerdy stuff.

That’s awesome.  Nerdy stuff is the best!! ❤️

I like those “What are you” threads.  I used to post in the OA music one. 

Glad you’re a thread maker here!

Not a lot and the ones I did make never really took off.
Ironically, my most popular thread here was split off from another thread.  I didn't even make it.

Oh, which thread is that?

Thanks.  I haven't made one for a long time but I'm proud of the ones I made. 

I have 3 in the Television folder.  What YouTube video are you watching, What Cartoon, and What Tv show are you watching.

I had too much fun derailing threads or replying to people's posts with obscure references to make many threads of my own.  One or two a night as a way of saying 'hi' to everybody.  Mostly my threads were purely nonsense with a touch of rp.

I like when threads are detailed!  Always fun to see the side convos.  Anyways most of what I post is nonsense. :LithiumSmileyLaugh:

Oh, you should’ve been here four years ago then. Vela and I were derailing threads together left and right.

Posted a bunch, but only really had one popular thread called Gunsmoke Inc. Which was a Trigun fanclub. Probably back in like 2005-ish

Was a fun time to be on the boards. Lots of great people and great threads. I think I also had one called Club Battlecry which was a samurai champloo fanclub thread. That was popular for a bit too.
