It was a loose reference to the font being black.

Most of my Black friends have never been to America, though ...

What do you call White people?

2?

I had to put the 1 in there because it said "Your post has two few characters. Please add 1 more."

ah! It makes sence now!

Back to the topic ...

They call us crackers because we used to crack the whip. I always thought it was because most crackers are white.

"Honkey" is my favorite term for white people. Or maybe "Caucasian European American"

I may be crazy, but personally, I liked Leo. He always made me laugh with his "Holier-than-thou" attitude, and his completely random pages upon pages of religious crap, and his more serious-than-a-heartattack posts, even when they shouldn't have been.... I joined just a few weeks before he got banned. Leo had a very strange sense of humour, but I found it rather amusing. A really good example of this, is this quote that I found in the DV Quotes thread.... It's the second post on the following thread, by ataraxis.

I got a really good laugh out of that, and still do everytime I think about it.... Perhaps Leo was totally serious in saying that, which in my opinion, would just make it all the more brilliant and funny.

EDIT: Well, we have moved on. What other extralaptous events have occured in the forum's history? Were there ever strange forum fads like GLAYYYSHUR?

There was no Religion/Spirituality forum here until November of 2005. It was about a year ago when Extended Discussion became a popular forum. Before Relgion/Spirituality and the popularity of Extended Discussion, this site was much less personable, I think. It was a place where the conversations were far out, and that seemed to be how it was for everybody else, and people didn't seem to know each other as well as they do now. The place was much more fantasy like, and everybody got along, which is what strangers usually do. But once the religious and political conversations got going, people started showing their true personalities a lot more, and as a result, started forming stronger connections. This site was just a fantasy realm for me for about a year and a half, but now it's more like sitting in a living room and talking to people I feel like I know, but still not exactly like it. It think a lot of ice was broken when that preacher started posting lots and lots of religious threads in the Philosophy forum. That resulted in such chaos that a separate forum for Religion/Spirituality had to be created. I think the mass arguing that started going on there broke the ice for people to start going to Extended Discussion to argue about politics. The left field nature of this place faded because of all of that. Ironically, one of the major things that attracted me to this site was that I saw it as a place to have far out conversations and not get into arguments.

I searched his name on here and came up with some threads.. they were so goddamn long.. I only searched to find some controversy but man, I can't pay attention for that long. :p

Ditto. I didn't like him near the end of hids reign of terror but i don't think he ever did anyhting too evil to me

I always felt like there was this big chunk of DV history which the old members aluded to in little whispered asides and mumbled under their breath, but which I never could quite understand.

"...Leo Volont..." I would hear, like a sinister chill on the breeze,

"...Leo Volont..." like the scurrying of rats in the shadows.

It all makes sense now.

That was nothing less than a work of art.

Apologies if it was a bit melodramatic.

I was trying to recreate my first few months of DV experience... maybe went a bit overboard on hte descriptive side.
