Brushfire Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 This isn't a real operation. This isn't even a detailed thread describing what you should do. I'd say it's a shameless plug, but this isn't my work. See, a long time ago in the lands of YCM there a moderator named Huntar, who ruled the General section with an iron fist. Basically I just found this again, couldn't stop laughing and want more people to read it, I think there are a few still on here that will find this funny.

Dark Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The newer members won't get the "obscure" references... I mean, who even remembers WiiOmi (am I even spelling that correctly?) and Father Wolf and Princess Kitty and... you get the point. It's an amazing read, though, and it's probably the only piece of literature on YCM that I actually enjoyed reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 "*takes notes on how to be a good mod*" In all seriousness, please do. Despite being an amazing satire, it's shockingly truthful - I cannot disagree with any of the characterizations, not even the snide comments made about me. Corporal really knew what he was doing, and had a really good grasp of how this forum ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 "Boy, was I stupid back then." I think we all were. Whenever I come across one of my older posts, I cringe - they're poorly-written, the arguments are disgustingly flawed, and I cannot even begin to imagine how I went years (well, two or three) on this forum with people thinking I was a good debater. I've definitely progressed as a member since, but I really wish I could go back in time and delete all those incriminating posts. "Draco which everybody should know about" Even some of the older members don't understand the full story behind the Draco case. Same goes with the ragnarok case. I think both cases are really overblown and hyped up for no reason - though I'm a bit angry that, to my knowledge, we don't have any access to the December thread. I understand that the mods want to keep a few things classified (y'know, keep the new members "in line"), but Draco had a huge impact on YCM and his legacy, tainted or otherwise, should be part of the chronology of this website. Some people don't care whether or not they know the history of this forum, but it's a bit ingrained into the memory of the older members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was more so implying that people got the general idea of it. But yeah I can totally understand the frustration behind not knowing the whole story. It kinda bothers me too. But alas, the mods get to (sadly) hide stuff from the general population, so all we really have to do is deal with it at the moment. Man for a drama cesspool we really lack big dramatic scenarios though. I've always assumed we've had more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was shocking just how poor some of my posts were. Like, there we times where I thought, "yeah, that point wasn't too bad, but the delivery was absolutely woeful". Dunno what I was thinking half the time, seriously. As for Draco... well, I know all of the details about that situation so I'm not too bothered about not knowing much about that. Think I got banned for supporting him a couple of times, don't really remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeDeFiA Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The day I choose to come back and check out how YCM is doing, I see this thread. xD Huntar was probably my favorite piece of literature that has ever existed on this forum. It's so nice to see some old faces here, Dark, Sam. I feel YCM needs more Huntars, so more amazing stories can be made.
