That Other Site

NP: You guessed it, Frank Stallone

Let's talk about that other site, shall we?

Nate brings up an interesting point. That Foghorn Leghorn background damn near made That Other Site (here after referred to as TOS) collapse to its knees. That was probably the strangest turn of events I have ever heard tale of.

To recap the story from those tuning in via the random blog button, TOS is ran by an informal group of friends who use TOS for a number of different things from pissing people off to fulfilling a creative desire. There for a while, the Mayor of TOS got on this kick where, if someone with an Admin code posted a general message, he responded with some snarky remark about how TOS was never updated.

Well, I got tired of hearing that and I changed the background to a great picture of Foghorn Leghorn putting a stick of dynamite under a sleeping Dog. Foghorn Leghorn is the all-time greatest Looney Toon and that one cartoon in which he beats the Dog with a 2x4 while Dog sleeps is absolutely hysterical. So, to share all that was cool about Foghorn, I made that the background picture.

Did I mention I was driving 9 hours home the next day and would not have Internet access for three days following that?

So I get home to Kingsport and eventually I make it to the library to check my e-mail. I click on TOS and it's like World War 3-7 have broken out. People are saying that the site was hacked. People were saying other people were lazy. People were getting upset because a picture of Foghorn Leghorn, the mackdaddy of all cartoons, was on the board.

I thought people wanted people to updated TOS??? Why the big deal?

That started the Great Admin War of 2003 on TOS. I'll let others fill in the details from here.
