UJRefugees.net

man, at insane train one time, tom foolery went into MS Word (or something) and copy and pasted his name "TomFoolery" a million times. then he copied all of that text and started a thread with the thread title "TomFoolery x 1,000,000". And he pasted that text as the first post.

I saw the thread title come up and clicked it. my computer locked up, i never saw what was in the thread. i think i had to do a hard reboot. got back online and i couldn't get IT to come up at all. They were always having glitches of some sort, so i logged into UJ. Tom had started a thread there that said, "Uh Oh. I might have crashed IT".

Sure enough, he had crashed the server that hosted IT along with dozens of other online sites. it was fucking down for weeks.

Eric Gifford did not wreak his havoc in 2005. I'm quite certain of that. I agree it was probably 2009.

Correct 2009 during the Superbowl.

really touching hearing about the glory days.. nothing like a walk down memory lane to get a hard whiff of nostalgia and recycle the past for twice it's market value.

Carry on.

well, it was a very different time. forum admins really had their work cut out back then. there were always people testing the boundaries.

Tom's "million" thread had them all racing to set character minimums in posts.

I remember when bdic (a crazy mother fucker) once used a billion pixel picture, some mega super high resolution picture that he found on a NASA site or somewhere, as his avatar. It would take about an hour or two just to load that one picture. if he posted in a thread, you were locked until that picture loaded.

I can't remember my join date for the original UJ.. I lurked for years before joining.. I'm thinking sometime around 2008 I started lurking but didn't join for a few years.. it was definitely a different place back then.. seemed more diverse and a lot more active

I joined UJ in July of ‘05 , April of ‘05 was the great hack.

I hope this helps.

Are you going to elaborate on what the "Great Hack" was, cuz otherwise I'm going to assume it actually came in July 05.

Hoover pissed off some Russian hackers is what I've been told, that is why everyone prior to April of '05 had a join date of December 1969. Except for one or 2 users. Ignatz was one of them that retained his real join date.

Mueller should reach out to Ignatz.

I think that may have been the start of when he, TF, and the real Animal began their 'We have Interweb forum rights' campaign

we were oppressed.

i had nothing to do with what clay did. i never even joined in on that whole thing.

and you laughed at the match thread i had on UJ. that thread got me banned.

Sure, but all this fondness of the good ol days was nothing more than children acting like complete assholes.

Speaking of fsf, does anyone know why he comes in here like a retarded buil in a China shop, tards the place up nonstop for a few hours then vanishes again for days at a time?

He pops in and out of character. It's a ruse, I tell you

This explains way too many people on UJ.

I'm not reading 4 pages of this shit, was flumper exposed as not flumper yet?

He's knowledgeable about plenty of UJ stuff but has not fared so well in a few other areas. I'm leaning 70-30 not animal.

Well, to answer my own question to Biker from earlier. The name of the thread hoover started when he sold the site and vowed to remove porn from his life for the sake of his kids was called "The Sunset Thread".

now the rest of you nutsack acrobats can fist yourselves while listening to elton john sing showtunes. i love you.

The real Animal would have said thanks, not I love you.
