Here's the popsci article if you don't feel like navigating the page.

If they ever transmit HLP and aliens get into a thread like TaS, we're in trouble.

[Taristin]

They'll think we're so much more badass than we truly are!

[achtung]

What is TaS?

[Bobboau]

the definition of a huge monster spam thread.
it was a VBB thread called tell a story in wich every next poster was to make a continuation of a story, its were carl the shivan came from. it predates HLP by sevral years

[achtung]

OK now that I've gotten my community history lesson continue discussion.  I beleive I have a hell of a lot more to learn 'round here.

[Jeryko]

Start TaS mk.II


...or is that a mistake?

[Bobboau]

it eventualy reached 64 pages in lenght at wich time it broke the forum, you could no longer view pages after 64 (50 posts per page), but people still kept SPAM-SPAM-SPAMing it. attempts have been made at resorecting it, with varying degrees of sucsess, but no one has ever been able to bring forth a beast like the origonal TaS, and this is probly a good thing.

I found this
while searching for the meaning if you wanna talk sequels.

[Taristin]

Do it at GTD!

[redsniper]

heh, I remember that beast from back when I lurked on the VBB. All kinds of oldschool FS community humor in there, Mr. T, Bosch Beer, Spacecrack, and Carl of course.

[achtung]

I missed out on the party

[Bobboau]

yeah if ever you young'ns hear us snikering about something that doesn't make sence, odds are it's an inside joke that came from TaS.

pffftt, only 29 pages.


I can't remember if I posted in the vbb TaS or not...

And I can't search my username in arhcives.org

I'm pretty sure someone has it on their HD. we could get it, and post it as a locked sticky in hard light.

[achtung]

If you don't post it I still wanna see it.  Sounds very funny.

[Ace]

Yes, Plasma's TaS monster was... nasty. Though I recall it being *much* longer than 64 pages. More like 640+ on the VBB.

Anyway, it would be funny if in the far future all aliens became fundamentalist christians due to the televangelists on Earth.

Then an atheistic Earth explores the galaxy it finds millions of star systems in the throes of British style colonialism

[Shrike]

You'd think we could give something better to the galaxy than british boarding school sodomy.

[mister J]

ah, the vbb TaS. I remember posting in the early pages of that thread...

nothing to be proud of, just a little nostalgia.
