Skoorb would parody threads extremely well, such that most people would read the thread and give honest replies, not realizing it was a parody. The original spelled Skoorb vertically across the left side of the paragraph.

Neither did I. Making a parod thread that spells Skoorb vertically in the OP would be nearly impossible, seeing as Fusetalk wraps text depending on window size. Different res monitors + different font sizes + different window sizes = nearly impossible.

Stupid ;) Don't you
Know that you can format the
OP with line breaks so the
O's will appear without
Relying on resolution for
Breaklines?

So basically what you're saying is post enough in ATOT, and people will make up all kinds of crazy sh!t about you.

Unless I'm mistaken,
No other member of the forums
Creates parody threads that do
Justice to Skoorb quite like this one
Individual who shall go nameless.
Greatness is what he strives for, and
Greatness is what he achieves!
All should recognize his skill with the parody!

Though parody threads are seldom
humorous, Skoorb had such talent that
everyone reading his would be-
Lieve the thread was real and completely
overlook the original which the
new one was based on. This meant
everyone who posted in his parody would
look like a fool, and...

...fvck it, my username is too long.
