Whoa... What's Going On Here?

This is a read-only collection of all the posts we could scrape from Archive.org. Pappy deleted the database at some point, and then after he died in 2018 we couldn't retrieve his credentials to obtain the original code. (We also couldn't get into his registrar account to fix the domain registration, so we lost it for a while there.)

Most of the old posts have broken links/images, so it isn't recommended to do more than read (and even then, most posts did not age well). We should have made the design mobile-friendly-ish but there are probably kinks. Feel free to let us know about any big issues. Especially any accessibility issues. For example, Pappy was colorblind, so we think he chose good contrast colors, but we can't be sure, and some users applied their own formatting at times.

Special callout to FlyingTim, who also passed away, at the end of 2021.

And another shoutout to DaBean, who passed in early 2023.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King

Allow me to introduce myself. I am who am. My imminent carnival of chaos, whoreley thoughts and insane ideas shall be unwound.

New Insult…

…looks really good, Mikey. It’s too bad Hugh destroyed the database that had all the really old posts. It would be fun to read those again. I remember having some kind of silly fight with Devlin’s younger brother of all people, but I can’t remember what it was about.

Insult Sucks and I’m Lazy

Years ago I had been working on a new Insult code base that fixed some of my pet peeves about the system. When one of the servers died I lost the will to move forward. Of course, giving up leaves a void and even with Calliander’s fine improvements my pet peeves still remain and my interest is still not there.

My desire to have that void refilled is getting slowly stronger, though probably not strong enough for me to do a fucking thing about it.

Writing a base system for what these days gets termed as a social network (like it or not) is more than just thankless. Every change made to the system may improve the experience for 98% of people but that 2% that hates the change are majority of people that discuss the change. I respect that and accept that. So I do nothing.

In the decade since the site was built, I’ve learned a lot about the world and the internet. Too much really. Understanding the true cost of building a system out is not a realization I wish on anyone.

But at least this site is about friends… the core value is nothing more than building a realm for friends to vent and bitch.

And so now I get to that wonderful point of a post where I no longer have any idea what my original point was. Shame on you if you are still reading.

New design/etc. input

MUNGED.

Calliander, keepin' it fresh since '94.

Uh.. We're back.. and the same.

Well, it came time to move servers and rather than transferring the entire site as it was, I thought it would give me incentive to put up the newer version (of which the design is already complete, and 99% of everything else is done) but alas.. it still isn't ready.

So, here it is.. the same old crap pile for you. New version is getting more and more a priority though. I am sick of this one, it doesn't satisfy my needs at all anymore.

New Comics Added

I have added over a dozen additional comics to the autoposter for y'all to enjoy.

The new comics include:
Calvin & Hobbes
For Better or For Worse
Foxtrot
Duplex
In The Bleachers
Shoe
Helen
Close To Home
Oddly Enough
Cornered
Loose Parts
9 to 5
Bottom Liners


I'll possibly add more if I find others to add. Email me requests.

plop.

Thanks for reading the article and responding, Stone.. I'm not going to argue with you because it seems invariability fruitless, and I'd rather just agree to disagree..

I just wanted to clear up that he IS talking about Ashcroft in the article.. if you do a Google Search for "John Ashcroft Confederacy" (sorry, can't link to it since insult sucks :)) you'll get back a fucking laundry list back. Delicious tidbits like this:
In 1998, Ashcroft gave an interview to the Southern Partisan, a South Carolina quarterly promoting the Confederacy. Ashcroft said, "Your magazine also helps set the record straight. You've got a heritage of doing that, of defending Southern patriots like [Robert E.] Lee, [Stonewall] Jackson and Davis. Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more. We've all got to stand up and speak in this respect, or else we'll be taught that these people were giving their lives, subscribing their sacred fortunes and their honor to some perverted agenda."

Like slavery.

I'm pretty sure what you've said about Rock & Roll isn't right, based on what I've read and seen in the past.. the foundation of "counter-culture" and whatnot.. I dunno..

Tasty bills like the patriot act and it's new friend, the so-called "son-of-patriot act" definetly makes me feel like this is increasingly a police state, but then again, it's my nature to be paranoid and sensative to shit like that.. so take for what it's worth. I guess I'd be the one laughing when America actually does become a police state, but I'd probably be more likely to be crying.. or be in Canada...

Thanks,

JW

Comics Updated

I too used to read sinfest.. also thanks to Preacherman. I forgot about the darn comic tho, I haven't read the thing in almost two years now. But that will change.

Sinfest and Frazz have been added to the daily comic post. Sorry to those of you who don't want to view the porn.. I will have a solution for you folks soon enough.

Insult Update - January 2003

Well, I have made a few minor upgrades to insult. Nothing major until next week or later.

You now get to enjoy a fetch selection of autoposter pr0n. Unfortunately you now have a less than 1/2500 chance of getting any bondage porn (there are approximately 100 bondage pics in rotation though). You have an even smaller chance of viewing a messy facial.

There are some categories that will be more likely. This includes smoking porn (which is.. odd) and feet. There is also some pissing mixed in there. Very little hardcore porn.

Oh.. and porn is now posted twice a day.

Enjoy!
