I remember this one time, when I was at this forum, someone made somethin'--I dunno what it was--like a "forum stories" thread, and I posted in it. It was amazing.

[Decoy Elite]

Very well I shall tell you all of Porch Day.
You see, back at the Bungie.net Off Topic forums people tended to be a little crazy so mods had to hand a beat down, but then one day all the mods were gone. All of them. What happened was so crazy that the entire Off Topic section had to be locked down to keep out the spam of threads. It all started with one thread "There's a dog on my porch". The user wanted to know what to do about a dog on his porch, the community's response? An assload of parody threads ranging from "There's a girl on my porch" to "There's a forum on my dog which is under the porch". Ten pages of this shit poped up until the mods finally came back and locked the forums. That day was forever remembered as Porch Day.

Yes. It's where my ham joke started actually. But that's a story for another day.

There was this one time when Static and Vance were both arguing with a Solid Snake fanboy who thought that Snake could beat Daredevil if he just knew the location well enough. I jumped in and posted a bunch of really sarcastic posts trolling the fanboy for fun, but Static and Vance both took me seriously, but I thought they were joking too, so for like, two pages, I was inadvertently trolling the living hell out of two of the best debaters on the Vine.

Good times.

My forum history is rather boring.

[Power NeXus]

Anybody else remember Ferro and Luna's Build-A-Battle Thread on CV?

As far as I can remember, that was the very first tournament-style thread.
CV was never the same.

I've always wanted to hear that origin story...

[Decoy Elite]

Origins of the ham joke.
Okay, so here's where me telling people to throw ham started.
On the first Porch thread(from Porch Day) the person asked what to do to lure a dog away from their porch. I'd dealt with a similar scenario recently, how did I deal with it? I threw some ham and the dog chased after it, problem solved. So I told the OP that. Then another thread popped up about a cat on a porch. I gave the same advice. Then one about a girl on a porch popped up and I just said "fuck it, they're spamming" so I told the OP to throw some ham at the girl. And I replied to most spam threads like this. Eventually every time I spotted a spam thread I'd reply with a simple "throw ham at it". The whole thing became a B.net meme with people referencing it all the time, and even making threads dedicated to making me mention ham. At the height of my popularity the other Decoys began to show up.....(TO BE CONTINUED)

There was this one time that I actually won a tournament thread fair and square. No drop-outs, early, concessions, or outright losses.

Yeah, no joke. It actually happened once.
