    I got to my number six rep rank because Darius repped me to make sure I didn't make my story H/Hr, and that is the best rep rank to be because it's just one vowel away from sex.

    oooh all the dirty laundry is coming out.

    Edit: Sorrows~ Shhhhh!

    Not true. I reset mine alot. Eventually the system was broken, and most folks were abusing it, so I inflated mine to be able to smack them back harder. Then we said the hell with it and set admin neg rep to 50.

    Which didn't solve the problem because certain members could (and would) still be able to fuck up the rep of a person with a single neg.

    Oh yeah, and the rep-whoring. Good to see it gone.

    I had some pretty legit rep, high up there too.

    What happened to wiki.darklordpotter.net? That was the result of my first plea for a History of DLP, I think.

    I thought people started editing each other's personal bio's on the wiki.

    On a side note that sig/ava freaking rocks.

    It would have been more comfortable if you had just surrendered the pics ;-)

    But Boa took it too far when he reminded us that "Kinsfire and Ishtar have sex."

    Have to elaborate since you kind of mangled it, bro. #heur was made as basically a planning room for DGD and me for annexing #dlp on scifi-fans.net (it was a joke). We came up with a mock political philosophy (Penguin Communism) and gave ourselves different roles in the 'Peoples Army', I led the Penguin Legions and he brought the catapults.

    We were just bored, really. Around the same time Vash and Syao would not shut the fuck up for 3 seconds in the main chat, #dlp, about that fic they were planning. DGD/I wanted to read it but didn't want it to be spoiled for us, so, after they refused to take it to queries like the bitches they were, we started spamming "HEUR!" in commie colors (yellow on red) and then we'd part, come back, and do it again just to disrupt their conversation.

    The channel name was, iirc, just because someone mentioned (either DGD or me) liked H/Heur and the other agreed. I think that's about the only time it came up.

    And Chuck, before he got all druggy, rofl.

    I've said a few times I'd be happy to do a DLP history, but I can't cover 2005, and that's the first 'chapter' - so. If someone wants to send/post a copy, I'll get to it. Offer is on the table.

    In light of that perhaps HEUR in the channel sense had nothing to do with the pairing. But we did try to get some quality heur out. I even wrote one and posted on Firewhiskey.net which as of last month went out of business.

    And I eagerly await DLP History X (iph0)

    Remember when Sree and Syao regularly had fights and kept kickbanning each other from IRC?

    At least, I think it was Sree and Syao.

    Good times.

    Edit: I remember now: it was about Kingdom Hearts.

    Also, remember when people had a single name and kept to it?

    Simply reading all these rep/dick posts, you can see why rep needed to be abolished...

    DLP has undergone a gradual evolution, with a few notorious events that have engrained various doctrines and unwritten rules. For instance, there was once a Severitus section of the library. Ha. What ever happened to that. I find it more interesting in understanding when and why we people turned agaisnt Severitus, and of course the Ginny hating. I'm pretty sure Ginny wasn't hated so much back in 2005. If there is one thing newbies want to take from this long history lesson of a thread, it should be DLP's continued and consistent commitment towards original and cliché free fan fiction

    Lol, yeah. I get confused sometimes, with all the constant name changes. Especially when Sree/Vash both changed their names at the same time, along with their sigs, avatars, etc.

    Everytime I read one of your posts I can see why you need to be abolished.

    1)I axed that gay crap.

    2) I remember being the only one, with eventually Raven coming around to defend it. Not because it was a good pairing, it's still shit, but because folks were going rabid on everything that had that, even the few random good fics with it.

    It was a popular story type back then, Harry was Snape's son, and some folks took that and made them lovers instead, or in some cases, both were included. It was the biggest emo shitfest I've ever seen
