04: The Term PROMMIE is coined by Troggard
Numerous users are "made" prommie, usually by fancy and expensive avatars & how often they are seen around the GD~
They are also made via the HOT of the GD @ the time. "GPM".
Users such as: 5th horseman, Troggard, Miyuki, and Hawkeye_GGK (who is now a GD mod)
Major threads: Namedropping, HOTS.
05: With prominence in full swing more and more users becoming, to a degree, idolised.
05 was characterised for its heavy amount of flaming to new users and even to veteran's.
If you couldn't hold your own in a flame fight you didn't belong in the GD.
Users such as: And I Starve, PA, Hazy, Remodez, Mephianese, Derranged Technicolor, Sadist Boo, Pidgezero_one, Switchdown, General Engel.
Who were made so through wit and originality, as well as being able to cast a good lvl10 flame.
Major Threads: Abortion, Christianity/Atheism, Racism, A good Trend every now and again.
06: As the Gd grew in size it became harder to get recognition and thus posters were, in a way, force to become smarter. Posters like 50s housewife used gimmicks; whilst users such as Interpolly used an incredible amount of satire to gain a reputation.
On the opposite end of the spectrum were the "accidental prommie's".
Sith Lord Ali being the major outcome of this. Not only has SLA been able to Coin the phrase "donate?", but SHE has also been able to use her looks to her advantage. She was the first of the “Beauty” Prommies.
07: SLA THIS SLA THAT.
No user has actually stood up in my opinion and many will agree with me on this.
The reason for this? No one is actually sure.
The GD has become so big that no one actually stands out anymore?
Or is it just that all the users are as like anonymous.
Cogs in a forum posting machine.
One thing that can be said about 07 is that it will be marked as the rise of the “wannabetroll”.
Trolling has been a way in which members in the past have gained recognition.
Users such as Conan the Barbeque, Samael, and Hazy.
However, these users did not use a gimmick such as PONY TROLL, and spam pictures of trolls. They actually used a topic and rolled with it.
One memorable thread of Conan’s is his “11 year old tits” thread.
It lasted over 4 months in the GD and reached well over 100 pages.
Notable Prommie "Memes": Use of Tilde's ( ~ ), "qt", Numerous Trends, Namedropping etc.
