I vaguely remember that picture, but I have zero recollection of who did it.  Plenty of high jinks back in the dt.net days, but it's been so long now and my memory isn't what it used to be. :facepalm: :lol

It arose from the constant bickering between Dave (FaithNoLife) and Itchy. He made the sign back in 03 or 04 and it made rounds, finally ending up in my hotel room the night of the 4/1 meetup. I took it home and have had it since then. It was unearthed today when I was cleaning out my old bedroom and found it.

I know who Itchy is. I didn't post as much back then. Plus I was using a different name.

I joined in 2003, but I don't think I remember it. Man, it's been a long time.

I was actually only lurking at that time.  I had not quite made my presence known yet.

But I remember that.

I don't remember Itchy, I think when I joined up Borlag(?) was the big cheese.

Itchy (dtitchy as he was known on the original EZBoard) was Mark Bredius, webmaster for DT and the author of Under a Cyber Moon and eventually DT.net. He ran the original EZBoard and then the vBulletin-powered message board on dt.net.

Don't tempt me to bring up certain aspects of your user handle's past! :lol

Yes I know, the guy who embedded the soundbyte saying "Hyperplex is a homosexual" in his signature so it played whenever anyone loaded a page with his post on it. Still don't know who the guy was but he was pretty swiftly banned. And then Itchy removed the use of HTML tags in signatures. :lol

That was some weird shit, damn. I remember wearing headphones while loading the page, and it was this subtle voice under the music that was on.

Was just a WAV file he uploaded somewhere and then used the embed tag in his signature to play on page load. One of the many ways enabling HTML code on message boards is "dangerous."
