Hey kids,
Sometime tonight the board will be a rip-roaring three years old. The terrible twos are over.
Tomorrow will be Nostalgia Day wherein we can discuss the ups and downs of the board over the past three years, and what is to come for year four.
Have some cake, be sure to get a lap dance from one of the girls we imported, and don't forget to tip your waitresses (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=donations%40plagiarist%2ecom&item_name=Achewood%20Message%20Board&item_number=TOUAMB&no_shipping=1&no_note=1&tax=0¤cy_code=USD&charset=UTF%2d8&charset=UTF%2d8).

Three?! Jesus!
I have spent more time with TOUAMB than some of my flesh and blood friends! Sad!
-
Hi board, it's me... MisterQueue.
I know you're three now... and well, I've only been with you for a little over half a year, but.. you know.. I think- I think we're ready for the next step in our relationship. That's why I'm asking you to tattoo my name upon your ass; just to prove your love to me.
Think it over.. I'll be around.
-
be sure to get a lap dance from one of the girls we imported,
What! No guys!?

We talked about this (http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,2974.msg72385.html#msg72385).

Happy Birthday, TOUAMB. My time spent here has been much like my life so far: brief but awesome. I hope things continue to be this way! Other than the brief bit. I don't want that.
-
Happy fuck*ng Birthday TOUAMB! Now is the time to dance like you got *****s in your #####.
-
touamb, happy birthday. you let me pretend I have friends sometimes, when my "real life" friends are not around! you let me learn about tom cruise eating a placenta, and wierd kinds of Soda, and old bands that no one gives a shit about. also, I get to say awkward things all the time, and mostly people pretend like they were not horribly awkward things for me to say! also, sometimes people here give me great advice like "dump that bitch right now, dude." that bitch ended up dumping me, but, you know. the advice was good.
what I am saying is, TOUAMB, you are rad.
also, my apostrophe key is acting up again. what the hell, firefox. you are not invited to TOUAMB-s birthday party.
-
Congratulations, TOUAMB! If you were a real person and I had the money, I'd buy you the Venture Bros. DVD, which (I suppose, but really, it can only be) AWESOME.
-
Happy Birthday to you, inanimate collection of pixels and gathering-place of imaginary friends! Thanks to you, both my parents and friends have expressed their concern about how much time I spend on the Internet, to the exclusion of all else. You are an irreplaceable, time-consuming vortex, and gosh darn if I don't love you for it.
-
also, touamb, thank you for introducing me to my lady love, mme. hobot! without her, I would be lost.
I suppose I thank you, too, for all these other jackasses awesome people.
-
Three freakin' years? Jeez, time flies. It's sort of frightening.
Happy birthday TOUAMB. Thanks to the board and its members for providing an excellent diversion on the road to the grave (and top-notch work-avoidance tool).
-
Wow, boards, it's been a crazy three years for the both of us.
Stay classy, TOUAMB.
-
This thread is utter nonsense. There was never a time when this board did not exist.
-
Suppose there should be another AcheCon DC, except you are all boring.
-
also, my apostrophe key is acting up again. what the hell, firefox. you are not invited to TOUAMB-s birthday party.
This happened to both me and the SO last week on two different computers. WTF
Happy birthday, message board. How old is 3 in internet years?
-
Happy birthday, message board. How old is 3 in internet years?
53. HTH. HAND.
-
Happy fuck*ng birthday, TOUAMB! Gosh, I have had so much fun even though I only joined up in '04. Perhaps next year, if you're good, I'll mercilessly grind my *** atop a birthday cake, just for you. I am going to go drink my reward beer, now.

Shut up, Mister Comes To SoCal and Doesn't Say Shit 'Till Later.
How the hell should i know you live there?

I am still having trouble with the idea of celebrating a birthday when I can't remember this board ever not existing. But I guess I'll take any excuse to eat cake.

Nabu's back! What a good birthday present!
Ah Wombat, it was ever thus - you always were the best of us.
-
Hey there birthday board. Congratulations!
I hope we'll still be around two years from now when you turn five, just to see if you'll be five forever.
-
Damn, I leave for a while, and what the hell happens? You people can only come up with two pages of in this thread?
What? The? Hell?
Anyway, happy b-day board. May you grow old and feeble before I do...
P.S. Thanks for including my name on your list there, AD

Happy birthday TOUAMB, you deserve this Bass Pale Ale more than me, but you would probably not know what to do with it.
Edit: I thought the board started on 8/1/03, or was it 7/31?
Jough made a comment about there being no strip today, calling it a fuck you tuesday by Onstad, and I just thought that it was 8/1 as like everyone that I have looked at joined then, but yea, when was it?

Onstad warned us he was closing the Dumbrella board on 8/1/03. Jough started this board up sometime on 7/31 but most people didn't come over until 8/1. Plus 8/1 is when Onstad posted his "fuck you message board people" strip.
So we think of 7/31 as kind of a preview/set-up period and 8/1 as the board's actual birthday.

It was very late at night on the 31st of July, 2003, but most people didn't join until after midnight or the next day. It was one of those crazy times when I was up all night and just stayed up setting up the new board and informing all of the old Dumbrella board folks.
I had meant to post something here today about the genesis of the board, and how while I did the technical part it was really JL Dunston who made this a community and whose influence set the board's tone and tenor. I was just along for the ride like everyone else.
I also provided the firm hand, the bad cop to her good cop, etc. Onstad was pretty abusive on the old Dumbrella board and people seemed to like that. So I kept up the tradition, at least at first, of arbitrarily closing threads and knocking down anyone who started trouble. I'm far more polite and nicer in real life, or even on other boards. There's something about being the message board Fuhrer that brings out the fascist in me.

Hark the Herald Angels Angels Sing is playing in my head as I read this thread.
It makes no sense.

I miss her so goddam much it's just stupid. Pedro, too, but he pops in every once in a blue moon.
::pours out some of his 40 for Jamie Lynn::

Yeah, in regard to nostalgia of Dumbrella...
What I really remember, when I first came to the Dumbrella board, was thinking that JL and Jough and Onstad all worked in an office together. Probably because JL and Jough were such a cohesive balancing body, and Onstad was the trickster in the middle forcing everyone to find that balance, yet both JL and Jough were sort of polite to him in an employee to boss sort of way. You two both did so much work for Onstad's benifit Jough - did either of you get anything in return, apart from dick slaps? Also, how did you come to the original board? How did come to basically run it?
I also seem to remember Doomglobe being a serious force of tom-fuckery for everyone, back in the day. I seem to more specifically remember how he put the smack down on me for somereason... I can't remember why anymore. That guy's gone MIA.
Also, I remember feeling totally obliged to read wigu. Mostly because there was a lot of wigu spill-over on the Dumbrella boards. I'm glad I don't have to read wigu anymore. I never really liked it all that much.

So we think of 7/31 as kind of a preview/set-up period and 8/1 as the board's actual birthday.
So 7/31 is when G.O.D. and the internet fucked, and 8/1 is the day they blessed the world with their son.
-
dude... are you bangin' a website?
-
Man, I remember those first days and finally emerging from lurkerdom into terrified-newbie-dom. The Dumbrella board had been... well, not a den of iniquity, per se, but certainly a den of something, a huge congealed wad of Interweb Terror that overwhelmed any possibility I could have had of participating. This board -- hey, no Onstad! And fewer total dickslaps! I could deal with that!
I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you, board, and belated happy birthday. I'm sorry I have been AWOL due to the depression and generally being the worst admin ever. God bless.

Owls are great. Have you ever had an owl sit on your roof? It is nifty. To conlude, we find these truths to be self-evident.
Did you just... did you...
did you post to the wrong thread (http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,3034.msg73133.html#msg73133)?
-
I'm not sure how that happened, but yes, I find that truth to be self-evident as well.
