we might remember it that way because, well, we're old now

rewind 15 years and this place was nearly filled with bodybuilding/4chan memes

fight club was its own subsection, some people were stalking 14dollarballa

SkinnyPupp 01-03-2024 08:19 PM

Yup we certainly had our own memes. And they were usually at the expense of someone, and as (almost) everyone matured, we stopped seeing that kind of humor

I still remember that the summer meet was always around my bday in Aug, and it was tradition to go to the meet, stock up on merch, and celebrate~ lolol kinda worked out as most of friends were also on RevScene, so it was the same group of people who went to meets as well as my bday party lmao

That Lexus IS-F thread was pretty epic and super sad at the same time.

Hey man I'm a Happyrock grad. Went there all 5 years.
Your comment offends me. And makes me extremely proud at the same time. :fuckyea:

Eatman 01-04-2024 08:56 AM

I imagine the average age of people still surfing RS has to be in their 40's by now.. I remember when "Post Whoring" was a thing back in the day and when Fight Club used to be great

bcrdukes 01-04-2024 09:08 AM

Good ol' post whoring days. Anyone remember Super Lammy, the OG post whore? Curious where she went and how she's doing.

FC was great until things got personal. Then again, attitudes have shifted towards online flaming so it's an interesting evolution towards forum posting.

punkwax 01-04-2024 09:18 AM

I remember some user named diggy something once had the “last post” on every single thread. I’ve never seen anyone else achieve such lame/greatness. I wanna say aowdiggy? Something like that..

bcrdukes 01-04-2024 09:26 AM

Yes, I remember the username.

I went into the VLS Relationships Forum and into the "Speak It Out Thread." I suspect he had a username change, potentially PK EK or something.

I'll let TOS'd confirm.

Garbage in, garbage out of Killarney. LUL

That partly explains the wife beating behaviour of a former Killarney grad and Bruins player.

Milan Lucic. FailFish

hahahaha I mean... he's also a Stanley Cup champion and extremely wealthy. Success story? :D

Both guys have interesting stories lol

I remember making a lot of those meme pngs that have now become default Smilies here.

Also RIP to :noob: one.


What about average 160 max 220?

unit 01-04-2024 12:23 PM

diggy was the dude that always said he was in the beatdown crew but he looked about as threatening as a golden retriever.

nabs 01-04-2024 12:38 PM

I still try to come on at least once a week to keep up, share some gaming info, participate a little bit in the middle of the workday.

There hasn't been a whole lot of forum moderation required, its the same group that flows through (which I appreciate) and a majority if not all over the last year or so have been fairly civil (apart from the CiC debacle).

I hope everyone is genuinely doing well, Happy New Year!

Enjoy this while we can! Lets hope the hamster doesn't stop turning for a while.



edit: My favorite thread ever, even til this day, due to the concept and the reception, had been "Fucked up things what make you laugh". Not only did the title make people think, there were debates regarding correcting the name (lots of support for keeping it the same), it was the Reddit for me before Reddit! I always felt so in the loop with funny pics and memes and videos because of that thread. It was a riot.

I remember her, only online though. I think it was Ulic that knew her IRL though.

I remember that....... I was runner up with three threads to go.

I think he said he worked at London Drugs, or something like that.

He changed his username a couple of times.

Lots of interesting people on RS back then. I remember most of them.

I'm sure some of them are still around.

I think I'm one of the more active thread starters in VOT. I remember a member criticized me of wasting peoples time when I started the No Need to Start a New Thread, thread. 778 pages and counting.............. hmmmmmm.


I do my best to try promote RS. Even if it means wasting people's time and looking like a fool..

CivicBlues 01-04-2024 03:37 PM

So just had a thought, MG1 was the same age when he started going on RS that most of us are now. :ahwow:

Yeah and you can see my evolution of meme humor as I added rage comic emojis :troll: and then twitch emojis LUL

They're so good though

Chucky called Skinnypup a skinnyfag. :alone:

SkinnyPupp 01-04-2024 04:40 PM

He has his own playground where he can go shit into his hands and clap. Just ignore it

noclue 01-04-2024 05:22 PM

One thing I miss is the great Import vs Domestic memes.
You guys remember the "My 2L coke bottle has more displacement than a civic engine" one?

kjlks 01-04-2024 07:06 PM

whatever happened to that dude with the justin bieber profile pic who always seemed zoned out whenever he posted? around 2016-18 or something
