Does anyone remember a thread where every poster was an animal? They all had names like Ossie Ostrich and Barbara Bear and so on. The thread title was something like "Harry Hamster's Thread for Animals Only", but I can't recall the exact words.

i have a vague memory of a good old nabisco post about the way people use irony (and "getting irony") to mark in-group/out-group status on the internet...does that ring any bells?

seems people have gotten a little too creative with the naming of wdyll threads (the last one that shows up on a search for wdyll is from june of this year) and they're now impossible to find

― drash, Monday, 14 September 2015 18:50 (nine years ago) link
hehe, sorry! i named that one. if you search for what do you look like 2015 it's the first result, but i should have added (wdyll) to it as well

There used to be a thread that might have been kept in I Love Vinyl that was made up of the radio station playlists of a few different ILXORS. I found so much great music through those playlists but I don't know whatever became of the thread.... anyone have any idea?

You mean the one with celebrities you're surprised to see photographed together?
