:Cranky: Meme... did it ever escape the shroomery?
    #8637888 - 07/15/08 01:25 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I've always wondered how effectively the Shroomery.org ever functioned as a meme generator. God knows we've had plenty, but I've never seen any outside of the forums. Where did :cranky: come from? was it ever popularized outside of the shroomery?

on that note, god DAMN we've got a lot of smileys! Probably the most of any site on the interwebs

I think the CP joke was around a few years before that post

this page says 2002

The CP FAQ on it was written by TheShroomHermit from Shroomery

Well, it all stemmed from a retard on an Everquest server in '98-'99.  This guy was definitely the model for the guy the boys team up to kill in the Southpark episode about Word of Warcraft. 

Anyway this guy also had horrible typing abilities from spamming the keyboard too fast to spell shit correctly.  Some guys found his bindpoint (where he respawned when he died) and were having fun killing him over and over again and were making fun of him by typing shit in mock-retard language.  There was a hilarious screenshot of the idiot saying some paragraph about how he was going to get his revenge or something on them which he had to spam really quick to enter before he died... to which the only response was "pwned" 

It hit the Everquest message boards a few days afterwards, worked its way to starcraft and the rest is history. 

I believe this to be the birth, but of course someone else could have gotten there first.

its possible he was just saying an inside joke that already existed and just kept growing.  hard to tell about the beginning.

Someone on here made a bunch of Cranky stickers that I traded something for. I've got one on the back of my car in the hopes that one day some Shroomerite will stop me and yell "CRANKAAAY!"

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

-Icelander-

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

Somebody told me he saw a Cranky sticker in Vancouver so there's definitely people raising Cranky awareness

I would love to get a :crankey: sticker or patch or something!

Jadian, I love you man, but you're wrong.

pwned predates EQ by a long shot.  'leetspeak' crap has been around since before the web existed, people used gopher, there was no graphical interface to the net, and you had to use unix shells to get on.

I've seen pwned and variations thereof all teh way back in 88/90ish
