The original posters were beginning to dwindle, from the Sony/BBS days. People were beginning to post like idiots en masse, the board became populated with aggression, victimization, and whining (Ed's hair, no shows for the south, play this or that...)….it was the presence of the “dark side” on the board.
Then, penultimate YIELD nemesis YOSI (dont get me wrong, I love Yosi) started a stupid Riot Act thread, in which we Jedi had to defend the republic from this atrocity......
When I read this, I think of it being the opening crawl of all of the Star Wars movies. kick ass.

Alas, the YIELD Fan Club (YFC) were once the elite warrior/poet class of the PIT. We stood for justice, peace, love, and posts that were actually intelligent with correct spelling (mostly). We were the vanguard of “the old board” before message pit posters started posting like they had been eating lead paint. But, I digress. We were indeed the “Jedi” of the board: we didn’t verbally abuse people, we honored and welcomed them in to high-class debate, and we were a council (well I never was, I was never a “Master”, but I was a Jedi. I was too young and brash, like "likepilateihaveadog" and RocKing. The Jedi council was the YIELD Council.) I digress again. Here is the tale of yore….
There were dark times on the board. The original posters were beginning to dwindle, from the Sony/BBS days.

The Riot Act wars had begun.
We engaged in spirited, but noble debate over how bad Riot Act sucked, meanwhile existing in the relative tranquility of our beloved YIELD thread and its jewbabes, Nugent, non-dual spirituality, and artistic/literary merit. It turns out that the Sith are always two in number, and Yosi was merely the front man for the real menace “Locked”. Locked was too much for us, in the weakened state of our “society” (the board) we were beaten and banished to all ends of the galaxy, destroyed except for a few.
We are now cave dwellers in a far of land, living as desert monks, steeped in self-study and analysis.

I think you have succumbed and eaten a bit of the old lead paint yourself....

Nah, I was around 2000- 03, and I swear the pit was always like this, even worse actually. I think your memory is skewed. Or maybe I just never watched Star Wars.
My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid.

hey, gramps.......you got out of your depends to post 1000 times in five years. go dig your own grave and get off riot act's ass.
The sad thing is..... even though this is soooooo nerdy... and Yield is in the middle of the pack for me as far as Pearl Jam albums go... This is the best thread around. I must be slightly on the light side because RIOT ACT is the WORST.
Emperor- Riot Act
Darth Vader- Binaural
Star Wars- Ten
Empire Strikes Back - VS
Return of the Jedi- Vitalogy
NOW THATS the one true Trilogy!!!
NO CODE, YIELD, and PEARL JAM.. are the prequel series.. Its still Star Wars but its not the same.
Pearl Jam= revenge of the Sith. Best of the prequel series as it ties everything back to the original trilogy.

False, the YFC believes that No Code, YIELD, and Binaural make a terrific trilogy.
all i can think of is that your literary talents would be better suited for an english class. and psst, i think you're watching star wars a few too many times
this was funny!
Empty pockets will allow a greater sense of wealth.
Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?
Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.

This one has succumbed to the dark side...
Hey, happy birthday Yosi.

When is Yield night this year?
Since 2.3.08 is on Super Bowl Sunday, we're still working on that. Most likely it'll be Saturday night.
Interesting. Keep me/this board posted.
Cause for Yield...I would.

Having a username that quotes GIVEN TO FLY is a great start.
Buying the council a case of natty each will also help your cause. Distantsun loves the stuff.
