I've been here since 06. It was a weird mixture of Charlotte transplants and new NOLA fans. The Shinn Era was tough. Bleak. This Benson Era has been amazing compared to that. After Baron left was the CP3 Era. I would come in and out. Being in Lake Charles it was hard to keep up sometimes.
One year, I think it was in the CP3 era, I popped in and the site was just insane. It was like a dystopic Mad Max world and MM was this evil ring leader with henchmen. Like for real, you've seen his autistic like social skills. Imagine of he also had cronies that would be all over anyone they didn't like or disagreed with....sometimes even when they agreed with them. Looking back on it, they could have been fake accounts then, too. It was all online, but it really did feel like you were entering into this nuclear ravaged land with cannibals and Australians and such.
Like in that movie The Time Machine, I would pop in and out. After a few seasons there must have been an uprising or something. MM had less pull. Not sure exactly what happened. He was still around. So I got more active. Somehow people starting figuring out his troll accounts. After that, it was either being figured out or the team success, he disappeared. He shows up every now and then like a ring wraith but we usually shut him down fast and he skulks to wherever sad little internet hacks skulk.
Ever since having the quintuplets five years my memory had been fuzzy, lol, so I don't remember the exact details and might be off a few seasons but it really did happen. This is essentially the quaint little town rebuild of civilization after we overthrew the evil dictators that took over after nuclear winter.
