What would early 2000's A&H look like?

[Skitarii]

Probably full of college stoners or insufferable atheists or whatever the counterculture was at the time

 

[Willie B. Hardigan]

Hollywood Hogan would be debating people about how Bush and his supporters are dumb and evil. Also a lot of theological debates about anti-christian media and the likes.

 

[Sprate Header]

9/11 Conspiracies, easy

 

[Justtocheck]

9/11 Conspiracies, easy

The habbening thread would be a riot.

 

[Apochrypha]

So many internet famous emo girls would have threads on here.

 

[Wintersun]

We'd probably have an entire section dedicated to Newgrounds shit, and you'd see the birth of the CWC legend firsthand.

 

[Also Not a Fake Name]

It would be unironically dailykos and The Young Turks links all over.

 

[RadioactiveMonkeyMan]

It would be unironically dailykos and The Young Turks links all over.

You forgot "Loose Change" oriented cospiracies and videos, contemplating the state of Osama's porn collection, and endless praise of Jon Stewart as a voice of reason instead of as a lefty propagandist.

 

[Johnny Salami]

Ron Paul Revolution

 

[Maurice Caine]

SomethingAwful.

 

[Solid Snek]

It would be unironically dailykos and The Young Turks links all over.

Ron Paul Revolution

That was more mid-to-late 2000s. Early 2000s was mostly Truthers, Daily Show, warez sperging, and Atheists vs Creationists, played out against a backdrop of Myspace, AIM, Newgrounds, and SomethingAwful.

You might share MoveOn links or some shitty webring that is mostly abandoned Angelfire accounts, oh and OUTWAR links too, but that'd be the extent of it.

 

[Judgment Boy]

Just A&H? I'm sure we'd at least one cheeky bastard post a Deep Thoughts thread titled something along the lines of, "Maybe Saddam Hussein/Osama Bin Laden has a good point." And yeah, constant 9/11 conspiracies and Pro/Anti-Bush, back-to-back-to-back. Happenings threads on the Iraq War and Invasion of Afghanistan would be bumpin' daily. May have also gotten a stream leak of the Meal Team 6 Osama capping.

And while not technically A&H, Uday Hussein would absolutely 100% have a lolcow thread. So would all the weird scene kids. From Kiki Kannibal to John Hock.

(My very helpful cat decided to hit enter before I was finished.)

 

[Smug Chuckler]

The edgy people would be center-left.

 

[Suburban Bastard]

Hundreds of users would post autistic conspiracy theories where they demonstrate they have no idea metal loses structural integrity as it gets hotter.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

FUCK THOSE SAND NIGGERS MAN!

 

[Idiotron]

It would be:
- post-9/11/Afghanistan/Iraq/Patriot Act
- bird flu/mad cow disease/whatever else was the hot new virus at the time
- Milosevic trial
- some celeb shit, Eminem would get talked about a lot
- lots of mass shootings
- DC Sniper Attacks (look it up)
- atheism vs religion (lots of Hitchens and Harris and stuff)

Probably more than this but this is a solid base.

 

[ItCouldBeWorse]

I feel like end of the world prophet grifters would have threads since there were a fuckton of those around at the time who wanted to exploit retarded people.
The 08 recession would get it's own megathread 100%.
Internet & Technology would be wild as fuck though, imagine all the arguments about if the iPhone would or wouldn't succeed and about how MySpace would beat Facebook in the end.

 

[FlagOfBarbados]

The fuck is A&H?

 

[Dyn]

It would just be &totse but with Null yelling at us for posting so many meth recipes.

 

[Clown Baby]

People chimping about George Bush
