events you wish general off topic was around for in your lifetime.

I would just like to see what people say here. For people to young for the internet to have NOT been around when you were a kid (like if your entire life you have had internet access) I don't care if you include everything from a bit before you were born, like back to 1985 at the latest!

Personally for me? The OJ trial. I agree with the verdict (LE GASP! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!) but I think that would have been the most infracted, fastest growing thread of all time, throughout the trial, then after the verdict I predict it would have been like a 50 page blossom that would never be equaled again.

If I had to choose a second it would be the whole "Did Ronald Reagan win a bidding war with Iran to keep the hostages until after his election to make the democrat in office look bad?" because frankly that would have just been an incredibly interesting threa

[TheGravemind]

The First Chechen War. Although he no longer posts here, GIMLIx would've probably been rabidly defending the Russian regime, which would've been amusing to watch.

[Gumboy]

I don't mind your choice, but please do not bring personal things into this regardless. I don't know much about that conflict so that would be interesting as well.

That would have been freaking crazy to be around for, however I was not alive for that so I did not list it!

[breadisfunny]

im not sure what the point of listing anything before the late 1980's is. the internet as we know it didnt take form till the mid 1990's.

[Blueobelisk]

I wish MMO-C was around for Wrath of the Lich King.

[Deleted]

Any big chance regarding human rights...so when woman were allowed to vote or when racism against black people was still large. I'm listing these assuming the rules would also be adjusted for the time.

There aren't any interesting events I'd care for in my life time (1992).

Because reasons!
And limiting discussion is fun.

The entire Thatcher term of 1975 - 1990

[Gumboy]

Its not "limiting discussion" its things in the last 30 years, things most of us know things about but were not there for!

no interesting events since 1992? I hope you are kidding!

[Crissi]

Rodney King's abuse. The forum would have to be shut down for a month!

[prwraith]

OJ simpson trial.


Guy was guilty as hell

[Deleted]

While that's partially true, Blueobelisk is correct in that MMO-C was down for the entirety of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion following Boubouille's spilling of coffee on the servers.

I've been lurking MMOC since forever, I can't recall it being down for so long. Damn memory.

[Tradewind]

Rodney King's abuse. The forum would have to be shut down for a month!

Would it really be any worse than the usual "cops suck!" rage threads?

Cops suck + racial combustion? Yeah I'm pretty sure it would be like Zimmerman on steroids

That would have been a pretty crazy thread thinking about it. The problem is, most people on Gen OT are to intelligent to get into it given the video evidence!
