hey baters. remember this?

[tiggz]

i'm feeling nostalgic after looking through some old entries and i decided to fire up the old computer to see what kind of files were still there. i found this and felt the need to share:

Welcome to the Beta! I'd suggest that long, rambling secret messages are not the best way to fit in around here, but i wouldn't want to damage your tender sensibilities. I'd also direct you to the links for FAQ and Community Rules at the top of the page to better help you acclimate yourself to our community, but then you might accuse me of being condescending and elitist. It's a long-standing community enforced rule to use the spoiler font for discussion of an episode for 1 full week after each new eppy airs, but when the community tries to enforce this rule we're attacked by our own. So basically you can do whatever the hell you want. Please make yourself at home here and feel free to walk all over our traditions and ways of doing things because this is all about you and making you feel comfortable. Let us know if there's anything we can change to make this board more to your liking and don't forget to tell all of your friends about this place. Again, welcome to the Beta! ©denisef

good times, good times. Aquamarine Armband Posse, UNITE!

Oh, I think I remember that. Wasn't that when all those folks were spamming the board during a VIP visit, and signing all their posts "bitey" or saying something about "assless chaps?" I remember there was much thudding, thunking, and rolling of eyeballs as well. (ducky dusts off her own armband) Those were the days, huh? LOL. I stop in to look at the Beta now, but I haven't posted since October. Now that Buffy's gone, it just isn't the same. *Sigh* Somewhere back in my LJ archives, I have a big old rant about how the Beta changed, I think it was right around that time.

*sigh*

UNITE!!!

[paksenarrion2.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!

That brought back good memories of a horrible time in the Beta.

[rachelmack.livejournal.com]

Or the MOST AWESOME time! It was a rallying of the troops!

[denisef.livejournal.com]

We were at our finest, in my humble opinion.

[rachelmack.livejournal.com]

Grace and wit under pressure, personified.
*nod*

I knew that was yours by the second sentence.

[denisef.livejournal.com]

Heh. Is that good or bad? ;)

[shebit.livejournal.com]

Snarky goodness. I actually went to the Beta yesterday for the first time in about a year - it was... strange.

[spikmeister.livejournal.com]

I went today. Didn't post, just looked. Not the same any more.

[shebit.livejournal.com]

There are a few of the old faces, but so many of our generation have moved on.

[scourgeoe.livejournal.com]

gotta love the snark.

Although, that said, I'm pretty sure someone quickly followed this up by calling denisef "condescending and elitist".

lol. But them was the days girl :)

[glitterlust.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, denisef. That elistist ****. How I miss those times...

[foundserenity.livejournal.com]

Hee! I miss Beta elitism.
