yes I remember it but I remember it better than you. The original skoorb effect has s k o o r b e f f e c t down the left hand side of the post and was in a more serious tone than the "my parents bought me a car and I hate them tripe" even though it was complete bs too.

like this:

So, fellow atoters here is how my day went. First of all I scraped my
knee skateboarding today after being chased what I would refer to as
one big assed mountain lion. Now sure you're probably thinking
ok, no way you encountered a lion noob. Well I'm here to tell you that I
really did get attacked by a wild mountian lion and who are you to say
bullsh!t, I don't believe a word you're saying.

Every fscking noob here thinks they can tell when persons lying.
fsck that sh!t how many of you nubs weeped in sorrow over that
fiasco with dental floss' car accident ran over his g/f BS? Yeah
everyone that's who. Don't try and deny it either, oh boo hoo...
can you say...PUKE! Yeah I thought so. So in conclusion screw you
tin foil beanie wearing numbskulls and have a nice life mmk? bye.

haa. .. i had forgotten all about that thread.... however- if i recall correctly -- skoorb's thread was first - and then Mwilding coined the term 'skoorb effect'... that thread was made after the original skoorb effect thread by skoorb. So i dont think that actually counts as the original.

Yeah I think you're right, it might not be the original but that was the thread that at least for me, seemed to make the skoorb effect famous.

Where is that one anyway, the one with skoorb effect down the left side? Anyone have a link to it? I don't remember who the OP was.

HAHA - this thread already contains the skoorb effect.

Element - you are incorrect. See my linked threads above. After I coined the term, Skoorb did it again with the

S
K
O
O
R
B

thing going.... But that was after the term was coined NOT before...
