21 year old thread.

[Ferocious]

ancient post

Sorta nostalgic as it reminds me of the early days. BBS's and all. I clicked on the author's name and it listed a bunch of other posts he made in 1982 and 1983.

Yeah I'm bored but I found this all to be very interesting.

BTW, this was blatantly ripped from a post over at IGN where the vast majority of posters were born long after this post was made.

Thread from the year 2000. :Q

 

[VictorLazlo]

I wonder where google is getting those old posts from.

 

[LordJezo]

Reminds me of this thread from 2 months ago..

 

[CraigRT]

wow that's pretty wicked actually!!

 

[notfred]

You have any 21 year old posts that are actually interesting?

 

[PanzerIV]

Wow talk about being careful what you post because your old info never dies! Anyway I felt it was interesting. That was the true beginning of this whole phenomenon that we all enjoy. I read stuff like that and wonder if he's still around..what he's up to and thinks of todays games compared to yesteryear.

Just a nostalgic fool I tell ya!

Google bought the rights to Dejanews a couple of years ago. Apparently Dejanews had all these old posts stored in archived databases. Google was able to implement a much faster search engine and decided to open these old archives to the public.

"Revenge of the Jedi"... Episode 6 in the Star Wars saga, has
just finished filming, according to some friends I have down in
Arizona.

The release date for us humans that want to see it is
still the summer of 1983. I guess it takes that long to score
all the music, do all the film-editing, prepare all the promo
material, and all that junk.

I wish Lucas & Co. would get the thing going a little faster.
I can't really imagine waiting until 1997 to see all nine parts
of the Star Wars series.

Here's a trivia question for other fellow addicts of Star Wars:

Most everyone knows that the original "Star Wars" was
episode 4 in the series, and "The Empire Strikes Back"
was episode 5.

Who out there knows the new correct TITLE of Episode 4?

Don't get me wrong -- the thing is still called Star Wars
by millions of people, but there is a specific title that
tells what episode 4 is about. That's what I'm looking
for.

-or-
...!ucbvax!teklabs!tekmdp!randals

I'll publish the correct title in about a week.

P.S. How many people have seen SW more than 22 times in the theatre,
or at triple speed on video tape (boy, that's fun)?



edit: First thread about AIDS is pretty interesting.

This one is cool, guy complaining that the whole Star Wars saga might not be done till 1997.

 

[notfred]

God dammit.

 

[MazerRackham]

Man, probably more than 50% of the people on this board weren't even alive when that post was made! :Q

I am old enough to remember 1982 (I'm 29 years old), but I can't picture what that guy is talking about....

I guess I was right about you finding it interesting.

LOL! Now that one I like a lot... I wonder what that guy thinks now? His prediction was only off by about 7 years, which is actually not that bad of a guess, considering that when he posted this Return of the Jedi wasn't even out yet.

Goddamn I feel OLD!!!! :Q

Britney at 11 years old!

"Britney could win the Academy Award in three different movies and she would still have a humble spirit."

I doubt that!

 

[Spoooon]

I wonder what the guy who posted the oldest one in the archive is doing? Maybe he's dead.

 

[Ferocious]

"Revenge of the Jedi"...


LOL. If I remember correctly that was indeed the actual title for awhile.

 

[alkemyst]

I am 32 I have been posting through BBS and arpa/milnet since about 1983....if I could only remember my handles then I could find probably a few posts older than 1995 (I can find a lot up to that, but none before).
