The latest and greatest of Poly history!!!@!

H Tower · September 16, 2002, 23:53

i thought club threads were prohibited

Old Major was a communal sn, not just Spinks. YYYH used it as well, and so did Red Trotskyite a few times. Even I used it once when I became a lefty for a bit. The password was "karlmarx." =)

Wish I could help with the 'Poly history, but you'd really have to read through those sites given to learn very much.

When I got Old major banned, I created another login that wasn't discovered for ages.

Napoleon and the Pigs

I've also had about ten DLs...Lisa, Ming's Wife's Left ***..a few more I think...

Eroberer · September 17, 2002, 16:52

And you really think "she" is a girl?

On the seventh day, Mark and Dan rested.

All was fine until Ming offered YYYH the apple of knowledge. YYYH convinced Stewie to partake also.
They were thrown out into the real world and can only return as moronic shadows of their previous exsistence.

We don't really have a history - more a growing collection of powerful myths promoted by various posters.

I think we may end up with a religion of our own - probably something Polytheistic

And Ming Didn't offer you the apple of knowledge either.
And I doubt Mark and Dan rested on the seventh day.
It's a fricken fable. What does truth have to do with it?

RAH
Oh, and welcome back, how was your trip?

SpencerH · September 18, 2002, 08:51

I think those of us who lurked (I had nothing to say) on the Greek Civ Site (wasnt that what it was called, I probably still have a link in an old favorites backup) should get credit

DrSpike · September 18, 2002, 09:18

Who is YYYH now? Or is it a secret?

Eroberer · September 18, 2002, 10:48

Yo Yo Yo Hey. Cool guy.

Thrawn05 · September 18, 2002, 10:59

Apolyton sure has some history.

I wonder if there are other forums out there that hate us and want to start a war.

DrSpike · September 18, 2002, 11:07

I meant who is YYYH posting as now?

Tiamat · September 18, 2002, 11:26

TIA!!!!!!!! That's stewie

DrSpike · September 18, 2002, 11:50

Hehe that's what I thought......not sure if Tiamat is being wicked, or whether she is confused.

My original question remains.

Eroberer · September 18, 2002, 11:51

YYYH left a long time ago, and currently resides on the fringes of the internet, playing civ-like forum games, if I am not mistaken. I think he left when the really sorry, unfunny spammers came around, who almost caused me to leave forever (and that would've been a real loss!).

Did anyone else just get a really really bad mental image of Boddingtons and fig leaves?

Well red_jon.. NO!

No offense, but most of us guys don't automatically conjur up images of other male posters scantely clothed like you probably do

red_jon · September 18, 2002, 14:22

It's not my fault! Rah's the one making stories...

H Tower · September 18, 2002, 14:29

now where's that report post to moderator button?

i want to hear more about the Green Army

DrSpike · September 18, 2002, 15:12

There's a report post to moderator button? Who would actually use that?

Eroberer · September 18, 2002, 15:26

All you have to know about the Green Army is that 1) Eroberer ignored it, and 2) Eroberer created all interesting Apolyton historical events.

monolith94 · September 18, 2002, 15:37

I think of the Green Army as the thing which really started all Apolyton "movements". I think that if there had never been a green army, Apolyton OT would have been used merely for discussion, and none of the politics that we have today and love (

) and peripheral apolyton related websites, like ACOL and PROT, would ne'er have existed.

Bugs ****ing Bunny · September 18, 2002, 17:36

Arse. The thing about forums like this is that every overgrown boy scout and classroom nazi decides to form some sort of movement, affording themself some suitably grandiose title in the process. Then the slow and the insecure and the "Me too!"'s join in. Then some miffed prat forms a breakaway/opposition faction. People rush to join it. Then the joke parties form. It's as inevitable as the crab lice on cheap and unconvincing Thai ladyboys. If it hadn't been the Green Army, it would have been something equally painful.

I'm not a joiner.

While it might have been the first... it was a just a typical way for people to manifest there desire to take charge and have fun. It was not the "big bang" that started everything with which nothing that followed would have been possible... just the first of many.
