Grubdog's (I think?) will forever be the stalwart. The man caused a massive influx of anti-Australia that has only slowly become erased. Years! YEARS! Trust a Nintendo fanatic to take situations to the extremities.
Mike Works changing thread titles for Nintendogs' 40/40 on Famitsu was a highlight, only because you had people like Drinky Crow banging the biggest tincan possible for the greatness that was PSP to incite some people to white knight for Nintendo and then that shit came around - back when a lot of people trusted Famitsu's reviews for some obscure reason. It was a funny day to witness threads constantly changing with each F5.
Shame to see WasabiKing retiring from the red highlight. Seeing his avatar float around was always a nice nod. I'm sure if I could be bothered, I'd be able to hassle him in some other capacity. I still remember him drunkenly? telling me that I was the only Australian worth a damn and that I had to save the quote because he'd never mention it again.
And say what you will how Himuro rode the horse into the sunset, but he added some quality shit to the forum from time to time. bjork too, every thread he ever created was class.. even though his ban is self-imposed.

TBS was brilliant. Loved all of his threads.

Seems like there comes a point where you either respectfully ask for a ban and retire or you just finally piss someone off to the degree you're perma'd. Which is why most of the OG crew is gone. Kind of sad, I miss some guys, I should have got more info from them before they left.
Yeah it is a little sad to see the OG numbers dwindle - even those who aren't OG but joined up till 2006. There have been times where I've gone "fuck it, too much stupid shit on here" and either leave for a few days or I do something ridiculous to try and get a perm; like purposely hassling the Killzone crew and shouting plagiarism whilst asking duckroll to ban me at the same time (even then Hitokage took the ban off before it expired to make me finish a thread idea I had rolled around with prior).
But eh, I figured that I'll just avoid the threads that don't look enticing and head to better threads. Don't know how the mods/admins can do it - I'd go mad if I had to constantly check threads.

The guy with the snowman avatar...Odysseus I think? That was an interesting fit of rage...
I remember this one. Wish someone could find it.
