Lots of people got banned in the great purge and then others left because they banned the interesting people that posted here. They also split up all the forums so it pretty much killed OT.

What was the great purge?
I remember when Derek Wilson showed up and changed (ruined) the forums. Then he quit. We had an amazing crew of posters back then. Every time you refreshed, the entire main page was updated with new threads. Nothing on the planet happened without it being posted immediately. We had a lot of fun.

Some members are still around but, I doubt they would remember me after all this time.

EagleKeeper was my friend, we PMed for a while after i left.

Rossman came and went quite a bit. Partially because he was busy, partially because of bull going on. I miss the gang and our late night skype calls.

Loke hacked the mod account back when we were anonymous. I wanted him banned, others wanted to reward him with mod status. I was furious.

Shame about Dave, he was a good guy.

I will have to read the Mosh thread, it looks like a doozy.

I am pretty sure Nik got permabanned. Between hs obsession with the slutty red headed actress, his constant fights with his g/f and taunting the mods, he must have gotten the axe.

I miss Dr. Pizza too, he was fun.

I miss a lot of people from here. We had good times and were really a nef family.

tbh i think this post by nik should've made him immune from bannings, because it gave us this legendary picture from trygve in all his high-waisted-mom-jeans glory:

Haha forgot about that pic.

Unfortunately I don't swing that way, but if there's money involved... 20 bucks is 20 bucks. 😛

Speaking of missing members, @Imp has been gone for a while too.
