The official 'unofficial' story of goatse....and how tw goatse'd 300,000 peeps...Gon 01-30-2003, 10:32 AM Originally posted by Imposter We were never on UGO. Before gameloft it was gameshack, which Zero-x ran. i didn't say you were hosted by ugo, but you did run banner ads for ugo, and that's all i could remember Anguish 01-30-2003, 10:34 AM Those were OGL ads, I believe... When TW was hosted by OGL or something.. They were the best bannorads ever though.. :o always had suggestive hawt gaming chicks and shit... :o People used to make threads 'bout em... mr_luc 01-30-2003, 10:43 AM I wan't here for any of this, because when it was happening I was too busy making sure I didn't miss any of it -- the biggest foreign attack on American soil in 200 years, the biggest act of terrorism ever, an attack that made the Oklahoma City Bombing look like a birthday candle -- anyways, I was too busy watching it on TV and calling my friends' cell-phone (he was in Brooklyn at the time, he got footage of the 2nd plane hitting bldg btw) to log on to an internet forum and talk about how big this is. AND DAMN IT ALL, LOOK WHAT I MISSED. If I would have known, I would DEFINITELY have whored IRC for this. I'm not being sarcastic; this kicked so much ass. It topped AYB as TW's finest moment. Phizat 01-30-2003, 10:44 AM i still remember all that happening.... god i love this community. TricKStyLe 01-30-2003, 10:46 AM :lol: memories. Ratorasniki 01-30-2003, 05:21 PM I can't believe anybody saved this, I'm sure somebody else wrote a slightly more succinct version at some point. Still, a funny story it is, and that's the first screenshot I've ever seen of the actual incident. I knew exactly what it was, but clicked it anyway and spent a good minute laughing. I think I've become immune to the goatse man at this point or something. Maniac 01-30-2003, 05:22 PM I remember this. /me sighs The good old days Hoo_Man 01-30-2003, 05:28 PM heh, not as good as cnn, but its still funny. 187eagle 01-30-2003, 05:33 PM I think anyone who frequents tribalwar has become immune to goatse kold 01-30-2003, 06:10 PM how long was it before the news sites realized that the image had changed, and took it down? ayz 01-30-2003, 06:49 PM too long for 300,000 poor viewers [POE]-LuLu 01-30-2003, 09:24 PM God damn it son of a fucking bitch. I was in Marine Corps boot camp when this event happened =( Oh well. Capaholic 01-30-2003, 09:34 PM Please tell me there is a SS of the Pokemon flying out of the building? I think that was the first image that Rayn changed it to after he took down goatse Scourge 01-30-2003, 11:05 PM Imp said it was a few hours in his post, but as I remember it they took their shit down pretty fast. I remember a steady stream of e-mails after that where people scolded us for changing the pic. One that sticks out was some bitch who was like, "I e-mailed that story to friends.." heh. I wish I still had those e-mails. sender 01-30-2003, 11:12 PM btw what was the AIDS water thing? It seems like i miss all the good stuff at TW and only hear about it after the fact. K-Rex 01-30-2003, 11:15 PM Ask Juggernaught, he knows the AIDS water. Dumpy Dooby 01-31-2003, 12:23 AM Originally posted by MST3K-rules Unveiled in October 2001, not begun. They have stuff going all the way back to 1996 in some cases, and their first major article was a look at what websites looked like on 9/11. i'm still cool Zoidberg 04-25-2003, 07:41 AM Owned? http://www.tribalwar.com/staff/rayn/images/news.gif NOT WORK SAFE Anyone else notice what the article says?!?!? ROFL!!!! "The Associated Press was contacted and said the photo has not been touched up in any way" Baub 04-25-2003, 08:42 AM I wan't here for any of this, because when it was happening I was too busy making sure I didn't miss any of it -- the biggest foreign attack on American soil in 200 years, the biggest act of terrorism ever, an attack that made the Oklahoma City Bombing look like a birthday candle -- anyways, I was too busy watching it on TV and calling my friends' cell-phone (he was in Brooklyn at the time, he got footage of the 2nd plane hitting bldg btw) to log on to an internet forum and talk about how big this is.

See? that was your mistake. You should know to come to TW when you want breaking news. NoGodForMe 04-25-2003, 08:47 AM I thought it was going to happen yesterday (Thursday April 24th) because Firingsquad and Bluesnews linked directly to TW for the announcement. The server was crawling from 4pm est, some posted there was 60k people trying to surf the site. Seems the traffic load settled down and someone posted a mirror site on bluesnews after I told them they we're killing TW. | ||
