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.Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?0 -

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.www.myspace.com0 -

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.0 -
