does anyone here remember the "Skoorb Effect"?

[Rallispec]

I dont know what made me think of it... i guess just reading through posts and seeing it in action in so many threads today.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I was going to make some sort of post demonstrating the Skoorb Effect, but you didn't really give me any material to go on. BTW, welcome back Rallispec!! Long time no see, man! :thumbsup::beer:

I remember thinking of doing the same thing Skoorb did, but I didn't end up posting it. I remember being curious if it would've been given a label if a normal poster such as myself had originally done it, as opposed to Skoorb.

 

[imported_Pablo]

For us noobs, what is the Skoorb Effect?

 

[Doggiedog]

I forget. Is that when you begin to believe there is no life after Maxima?

I remember it all too well. I was definitely scratching my head at the first few Skoorb and Skoorb-inspired posts I saw, years ago.

I'd better remember, I coined the term!

LOL. That's like 40K+ posts ago for him.

Ahh. The early days of ATOT.

skoorb effect is, I believe, a post that looks like,

"My life sucks. My parents bought me a brand new mustang gt, but didn't get me the leather seats I wanted. How can I possibly drive this POS? I mean seriously, what were they thinking? Another thing, they bought me blue skis and paid for my vacation to switzerland, but I wanted black skis. People will think I'm some sort of homo if they see me with blue skis. I hate them. They don't understand me. They hate my bisexual life partner too. I mean, how can they NOT pay for cosmetic surgery for me to be happy. We love each other. Why do all these horrible things happen to me. Why couldn't I have good parents like m4h's who buy the right color skis and give him a small island. I swear they like my sister better because she got the new computer when she went to college and I get stuck with this 3 month old piece of carp. Why couldn't they give me the new one, it's not like she needs it or anything" and so on and so forth when it's pretty common knowledge that his situation is almost nothing like that, then laughing at all the ensuing "You're a spoiled b|tch" style responses.
