Annual Baritx Day

[Reverend Joe]

If you will all look back into the annals of the Org, you will see that it was on this very day, exactly one year ago, that a certain member of the Org deemed it necessary to post a thread containing a question that I am sure we all remember so very well, a question regarding a faction known as "Bartix", and another faction that was to replace Armenia. The thread that resulted from this seemingly inconsequential question was one of the most legendary in recent memory; its meteoric rise into hilarity, its wonderous tangents and musings, and its tragic Gotterdaemerung, all within the space of 10 days, are the equal of any other great thread within the Org. And so, it is with this in mind, that we are forced to ask a certain question, a question which burns still in our minds:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"What is the history of the zipper?"



No, seriously...

tell what bartix and the faction that replaces armenia got then??

The origional thread, so that we may look back upon it in the interest of posterity.

Please, let this be not a day of argument and flaming, but a day of memory.

But today is the 3st, that thread seems to have been posted on the 1rd, which means thou art 2 days late! Unless i'm missing something.

But i remember reading that thread and it was damn hilarious.

[Volume II]

I think he was trying to ask about Bactria.

[Reverend Joe]

Aw, hell... I spaced out on "the day"...

My mistake. I thought it was the first.

And here I was, getting all misty-eyed on the wrong day.

[Dayve]

Nevermind! For we can pretend it is the 1st of may. Or if you like, we can pretend the original thread was created on the third!

[QwertyMIDX]

Happy May Day anyway.

Happy Bartix Day!!

Happy Bartix day.

EDIT: Picture changed to please Teleklos Archelaou

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Uncool. Get rid of that please. Many people will be quite offended.

edit: Thanks. I grew up on a farm and am used to seeing that sort of stuff, but it would have quickly grossed out many folks on here I think and wasn't really necessary. Pretty pink bears on umbrellas is funnier anyway.

[antiochus epiphanes]

btw i propose we make a petition to the federal gov, making bartix day a national holiday!

I'm now really curious what the original picture was

[Reverend Joe]

Freakin' necromancers.

I actually got a good laugh out of reading that thread again, until I kept seeing names that were once critical EB contributors who have disappeared. Not disappeared from the site, since they still log in here, but disappeared from EB. I am no longer laughing.

Damn. You're absolutely right. If we still had a key four or so of those guys as active as we did we'd be so close to being totally through now I think. I counted approximately 27 EB members who posted in that thread, and I think of those 27 about 9 or 10 are the most we can say are still active in the mod. The worst part are the people who were so incredibily important (e.g., nowake, sharrukin, eadingas - though I'll say even when sharrukin left, he left us with so much that he had already prepared that it seems like he continues to help us - that was one hard working dude . If the other people who left had left us in a similar situation we'd still be reaping the benefits).

[Reenk Roink]

Well, if it's any consolation, the fans are still active...

Happy Bartix Day all!!!

I read the thread, and I have to say, it was absolutely hilaríous, even though it was quite sad how it ended. Whatever happened to Abokasee anyway?

Abokasee is still around, you can catch in him the Frontroom and the Arena (sometimes even in the Backroom).

Apparently, he will try EB, but has to finish BI first...

[Reverend Joe]

Edit: oops, never mind.

[Sarkiss]

guys, its Bartix not Baritx

[MSB]

HURRAY! Happy (very late) Birthday Bartix!

[NeoSpartan]

seems like some EB history here... too bad I wasn't around then

But I ain't go time right now to read it, so maybe later.

Until then: I don't get it
