Occasionally while browsing around I've heard mention of this place. Was it some sort of giant troll forum or something? Was it a trolling competition board? Prizes for stuff?

From what I gather ,the forum specialized in one on one flame challenges, wherein each contestant accused the other of sucking cocks until one of them passed out, or turned ghey.

It was a "you had to be there" thing.

Don't sweat it.

Besides, any descriptions/anecdotes you'd get will all be very subjective and questionably accurate to boot.

It was a forum.
It was online for a good while, as such things go.
Some people poasted there.
Some of those people are still around, more or less.

Everything else is only someone's opinion about what it was like at one time or another and depending on the timeframe those accounts will likely differ wildly, even from the same person.

So no reliable info on how it truly was.

Like no one here would have lasted at BH...the politics people would have been shit canned by Evil blood and the others permanently pinked and deemed "to lame to reply to"

I was there when Jewdozer was there and got a red ribbon when I made him a new avatar with MSN paint but he did not use it and he made that Christmas present to me msnpaint that is in the award archives but the way back machine does not show it. He was doing Charlie Hebo type cartoons about the Muslim religion before Charlie Hebo was...he was from Germany I am pretty sure. I left when the place lost EB and was going downhill and joined a Guild on WOW and mainly did PVP and raids.

In my opinion? No.
Only "stories" from one particular perspective or another.

For my part, I mostly remember its very earliest days on I think it may have been a brand-spanking new phpBB platform, or maybe even a FrontPage framework? At any rate it was *not* stable; another poaster called EvilBlood and I managed to crash it just by the sheer weight of a few Quote/Response exchanges. I mean yeah, it was fair-sized chunks of text being poasted back and forth there at the end but modern forum code wouldn't even blink at that much verbiage much less implode.

I wasn't a constant presence though... I tended to drift in and out over the years, mostly out with a few stints of varying length back in. It could be fun; I contributed one "chapter" to a collaborative story flame that I rather enjoyed. In its latter days a lot was the chest-thumping adjective-laden bloviating that most people think of as "flaming" now, and I just couldn't be bothered.

There were some funny and talented posters their but it suffered specific problems.

1 Flaming/humour was treated as a team event so you quite often got the shittiest posters winning/receiving most praise.
2 The owner developed an insular culture of the "Dont populate other forums as they are not as good and it will drag you down" variety. Truth is it was far from the best place to be so consequentially a lot of posters there developed a type of Stockholm Syndrome.

3 Because of the above 2 reasons back stabbing and scandals were rife. 1 mod dumped the entire main forum into usenet which revealed the viewer/people online atm counters were rigged.

4 The webmaster was also a tyrannical control freak demanding everyone stay on message and was paranoid about other forums having assets in the mod room(which they did given the constant leaks).

I'm glad I never stumbled upon that site when I first got into computers. lol

My first computer was a Dell Inspiron Desktop loaded with Windows Vista. The only reason I wanted a computer was to burn music, movies etc. It's the same way now with very few exceptions so that's probably why I've never heard of so many sites mentioned here. Alty is all about leisure.

I was on bloodydisgusting.com in most of that time period. Besides datehookup's forum. I think.. oh and the YNC roughly the same time period.
That's about it.. those 3 consumed so much of my free time. I said fuck it to so many real life camping, road trips back then because the internet was sooooo more important.
fucking regrets i may need a stiff drink or two sharing this all wit yous people

First came across Evil Blood when he was roasting someone at hardcoretalk, he was fucking hilarious.


When BH first appeared Dvlos and myself went over and cleaned house then left. It maybe why Terence had that paranoid unhinged mania about him.

Seem to remember "garrity" poasting on a few forums back then F4$ appeared early 2000 if memory serves me correct..
