What makes OT...OT?

The question is simple. What makes OT...Teh OT? What pictures of the puzzle that were they to be missing would change OT for you. In other words....word association. What do you think is a necessary ingredient for YOUR OT?I generally associate OT with the specific users that I enjoy talking with. Some have been banned, some left of their own accord, some post rarely, and some still labor on to entertain me. There are too many for me to list...but some of the ones that I think of are megagene, SolidSnake35, Samwell_X, Bourbon3, uncledeath_2005, nutty_bar(gone but not forgotten), xaos, TFG, 123321(he knows who he is)...Travo_basic...a southern basic but a basic nonetheless:P, Funky_Llama, The_Zoid, Zakkro, CptJ, ff7fanboy2, KHfanboy, Cute_Kittens, WilfordOwn, Metal Gear Ninty, and Shu with with his unwavering commitment to all things I dislike.And a special shoutout to my stalkers. The entertainment is priceless. Your turn....and a few reasons would be nice.Legal notification: I'm sorry if I forgot a user here and there. It was not intentional and the list is far from complete. You know who you are.What makes OT...OT?
The Religious Threads, The Girl Advice Threads, the Disturbing Story Threads, and the Political Threads. It's just better here. What makes OT...OT?
We have religion threads.
It's like the only thing where I can talk about stuff that aint video games since I really really hate video games.
Wow, what a rare occurance. You made a thread.But beyond that, I would just say the people here. I haven't been as active on OT as I used to be, so some of the users I recognized are gone, but that doesn't change the fact that the OT community seems to have similar interests as me, never takes itself too seriously, and is just flat-out fun to be a part of.

[/QUOTE]I've made a few lately. Just to switch things up.:P
The endless cycle of mindless threads that do not contribute to anything, yet I can't stop coming here...
It is one of those things where no one component necessarily embodies the whole form. Like in a good school class, any one kid could go, and the class would still function, just slightly differently.But if you took away a variety of those components, than the whole thing dissapears. I think what I'm trying to say is that a combination of things makes OT, OT -- these include:The Users: A forum is nothing without its forumites
Religion Topics: I think there are some users who joined up to OT, because they knew of the religion threads
Girl Threads: Way to challenge the stereotype guys.
Fad Threads: I actually love fads.
The Mods: They're strict, but to a degree, I think we all appreciate that.

... and a host of other things I can't really remember at the moment.

I think that there are a great group of guys here in OT. It is IMO a very lively forum that I enjoy posting in. But what makes OT...OT? Roll calls, Rick rolls, YLYL's, occasional advertisers and weirdos with 1 post count, our very own OT moderators(GabuEx, Hungry_Bunny, Cube_Of_Moon, MAILER_DAEMON, Solidruss off the top of my head :P)and a handful of users that are regulars here and things would change a lot if they weren't around. I would consider these users to be you Mr. TC, Fastesttruck, Samwell_X, btaylor, tavo_basic, Diety_slapper's frequent accounts(supposably and in all probability), Xaos, The_Foreign_Guy and probably Pianist.
The regulars, religion topics, fad threads, girl advice, overly strict modding. On another note, hooray, I'm on the list! :P

My favorite thing about this place is the diversity of the users.I like that no matter what you say, someone here will tell you that you're wrong.

I enjoy religion and politics as much as the next guy but it's the ultra-rare ''OMG I don't know how to clear the porn off my browser'' threads that really interest me.

Well I'll just have to find some kidneys and eyes to play with. Shouldn't be too difficult >_>

Dammit, I hate the glitch where your post doesn't appear...
