MB Memories

Paedantic Basterd · 01-24-2019, 09:32 PM

I mostly remember the squabbling, to be honest.

EDIT: I found a good memory--this one time a bunch of us watched a TV series together in Plug. That was great.

That was a year ago I think. And it was Exo who looked me up and called corporate headquarters to see if I was dead.

^ Best was that when people in the Missing Posters thread wondered what had happened to Pet_Sounds, stephen posted, "Call Burger King."

I think we have six or seven ladies posting on here.

Doesn't seem like a lot, but it's probably more than some realise.

Here is a good memory: Hawk losing his money on the Argentina game and raging at Messi 💵🤑🇦🇷🐐

Hawk losing money in general was good times.

We used to have a lot of rap battles back in the day. It was fun as hell. Maybe we should bring it back. It encourages creativity and comradery amongst us MuBa's.

Frankly, I think that MB is impoverished because they've gone, and without knowing exactly what "salty" means, I suspect that the atmosphere on MB is now so salty that that kind of contributor is unlikely to stay around. I know that boys will be boys, but it's a pity to me that MB is no longer a place where girls are being girls.

Women post on here still. I think that the men on this place just like to gossip a bit more in the chat threads and most women just don't really care to take part.

Absolutely not.

^ Yes, contrary to the stereotype, the men do most of the gossiping here, and you are an example of your own statement. You always avoid the running battles, and make polite, succinct on-topic posts. Please remind me to nominate you for the Most Underrated Poster award in December!

And, yeah, sorry [MERIT], but I agree with D&G: imo MuBas sounds more cringey than cool. Include me out please.

I thought it was commonly known that men were the bigger gossips. Gossiping is essentially dick waving after all. Gossiping is fantastic btw.
