    It was less about trying to find posers, and more about trying to find fellows. If you've ever played a semi obscure game and then seen someone with a bumper sticker or decal of that game you'd get the picture.

    That's at the whole thing was very silly. Honestly the entirety of the internet at the time was much less serious and dour.

    much less serious

    EXCEPT when it came to grammar and spelling! Honestly, I miss that kind of pedantry from the old days.
