• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

9:30pm EST final exit of tMB

I think next time I get a surge of autism and mania I might make a bot to obnoxiously shitpost over there

We had a poster do that maybe 5 yrs back. First he wrote a script to give every post a "like". Damn near crashed rivals servers.

Then he made an alt that would respond to a certain poster with a set of ~10 comments that were vague enough to not be caught. The other was arguing w a bot and didn't know it. The victim (good heartedly of course) just passed away from MS.

Fellow OSU grad, who was a "data architect" or something.

Yeah this is gonna happen at some point. We can make a couple for this site just for amusement and master the art.
