What makes OT...OT?

The question is simple. What makes OT...Teh OT? What pictures of the puzzle that were they to be missing would change OT for you. In other words....word association. What do you think is a necessary ingredient for YOUR OT?

I generally associate OT with the specific users that I enjoy talking with. Some have been banned, some left of their own accord, some post rarely, and some still labor on to entertain me. There are too many for me to list...but some of the ones that I think of are megagene, SolidSnake35, Samwell_X, Bourbon3, uncledeath_2005, nutty_bar(gone but not forgotten), xaos, TFG, 123321(he knows who he is)...Travo_basic...a southern basic but a basic nonetheless:P, Funky_Llama, The_Zoid, Zakkro, CptJ, ff7fanboy2, KHfanboy, Cute_Kittens, WilfordOwn, Metal Gear Ninty, and Shu with with his unwavering commitment to all things I dislike.

And a special shoutout to my stalkers. The entertainment is priceless.

Your turn....and a few reasons would be nice.

Legal notification: I'm sorry if I forgot a user here and there. It was not intentional and the list is far from complete. You know who you are.

Wow, what a rare occurance. You made a thread.

But beyond that, I would just say the people here. I haven't been as active on OT as I used to be, so some of the users I recognized are gone, but that doesn't change the fact that the OT community seems to have similar interests as me, never takes itself too seriously, and is just flat-out fun to be a part of.

It is one of those things where no one component necessarily embodies the whole form. Like in a good school class, any one kid could go, and the class would still function, just slightly differently.

But if you took away a variety of those components, than the whole thing dissapears. I think what I'm trying to say is that a combination of things makes OT, OT -- these include:

The Users: A forum is nothing without its forumites
Religion Topics: I think there are some users who joined up to OT, because they knew of the religion threads
Girl Threads: Way to challenge the stereotype guys.
Fad Threads: I actually love fads.
The Mods: They're strict, but to a degree, I think we all appreciate that.

... and a host of other things I can't really remember at the moment.

Yeah, I've tried to quit this place multiple times and I keep finding myself here again. It's pretty sad.:lol:

Forgot your name above. I enjoy talking with teh sponge that plays doctor.

My favorite thing about this place is the diversity of the users.

I like that no matter what you say, someone here will tell you that you're wrong.

I'd take it as a compliment.

I just meant that sometimes, I would try to raise a flaw in your reasoning, and then I'd find that it is my reasoning that is being criticised.

Mind you, that's more to do with my earlier days on OT, when I was just experimenting with the debating side of OT. Now I suppose I don't necessarily look for for flaws in people's logic.

OT is OT because we can talk about anything. Well, most things.

The Religious Threads, The Girl Advice Threads, the Disturbing Story Threads, and the Political Threads. It's just better here. CleanPlayer

the YLYL, the how do i look kid thread... (rest in peace superlinkX :lol: )

Sadly, OT is not OT anymore for me...it used to be my home, until a bunch of strangers jumped in and made it theirs...guess that's the same with life.

I think OT wouldn't be OT if we didn't have

• Awesome YLYL and Photoshop threads
• Our funny posters like Oleg_Huzwog, Jandurin and a few others
• Nubs bumping really old threads
• Gullible nubs that takes joke threads seriously :lol:
• Good debaters (LJS,Gabe(sp?),Pianist, there's a few more but I forget their name)
• Threads on Religion

[QUOTE="Nude_Dude"][QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]Yeah, sorry 'bout that. :PFunky_Llama

Well that wasn't you whom I had in mind actually. 

To be fair, I am not concentrating on just one person; I haven't had any troubles with anyone in here. It's just the...amount, should it be called, of new users busting in and trying to be one of the GameSpot gang. I did that once as well, became a rather famous one, then got bored and left, making way for fresh blood...so I can't blame anyone. :P It's just that I miss the want to log in at GameSpot and see OT.... 

The people with different opinions coming here. I like arguing. ;) *cough* Funky_Llama *cough*battlefront23

*cue inspirational speech music*

There are many things that makes OT OT. The many posts, threads, girl help threads and the like. But, the main thing that makes OT OT are the users. People like myself and the TC and everyone else make this place move. Sure, there are some bad users, like ban-dodgers, spammers, suiciders and the like, but there are the people who try to stop those users. Those, of course, are the mods. Users like Yagr-Zero, MAILER_DAEMON, Hungry_Bunny and cell_dweller are the force that brings bad users to their knees.

*stops speech* *notices everyone's asleep* ...KNIBB HIGH FOOTBALL RULES! *everyone wakes up and starts cheering* :P

Definitely the users. If it weren't for all the people I enjoy talking to her, I woudln't venture to OT again.

and Shu with with his unwavering commitment to all things I dislike.

LJS9502_basic

Oh, you and your dislike of Queen and iced tea.  :P

YLYL, and the different types of users.

I love OT.

The girl advice and religion threads.

Also...

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

I'm fond of the conversation, and the views others hold on different issues. I may not agree with some views people hold, but it is interesting to get an insight into the world in which we live, and I think I get a fairly wide insight on this board.

Furthermore there are some users who really make the board for me. They know who they are :) 

Grr, spelt so wrong meh username :x

I'm gonna say teh users.

I still consider myself an OT noob, but I like it here. 

Sadly, I bring nothing to the table.
