I've been on QBN since 2006 (Newstoday massive whaddup). Still, there still seems to be so much deep QBN lore and drama I have no idea about. People here seem to know personal shit about each other, have personal beefs and private jokes. Like all the people who get routinely downvoted I have no idea about why (except maybe grafician and Hayoth). Do many of you hang out IRL or something? I feel so left out *sobs*
- few of us are on discord.pango
- ^ which is to say, that's where a lot of the in-jokes come from.Continuity
- If don't get everything that goes on here it means you have a healthy life.
If I say "I was here before you" do you get the reference?palimpsest - ^ lol ... I'd forgotten that oneContinuity

- Let me qooble that for you:
https://qooble.haasi…palimpsest - most of us exert a lot of effort into finding excuses to not meet one another irl if the threa.. er.. opportunity arises.Nairn
- Never meet your heroes.palimpsest
- ^ there's heroes here??dee-dubs

but....
i don't pay much attention to the drama these days...exador1 - i know there's beef between a few of the folks here..and it flares up from time to time.. but i don't know exactly whats behind it...exador1
- but the important thing is, i don't really care ;)exador1
- i come here now (pretty much every day) to make a few comments, check out what everyone is up to.. and veg out for a few minutes or whateverexador1
- after all these years, its nice to see a few friendly 'names' here, folks i've chatted with here a bit over the past 20+ years...exador1
- all of us old-timers started back in the day as young designers, and now most of us are in higher positions, with grown-up or almost grown kids...exador1
- i straight up am glad to be a part of this place, and honoured to know you folks.
-except Pango. fuck that guy.exador1 - LOL ...

- they think it's pretty cool i know designers and creatives from all over the world, and that we all chat here...exador1
- I think it's pretty cool too :)
I remember going to k10K every day, and reading the posts from 'world famous' designers...exador1 - and wishing "I" could be part of the conversation :)exador1
- I had a chance to hang out once around that time with Jeffery Zeldman at a conference, and telling him the same thing...exador1
- and suddenly one day, i chanced upon Newstoday, and realized it was happening, and i jumped in with both feet...exador1
- 'My kids have grown up knowing about this place'
flol ... were you _trying intentionally_ to give them a traumatic childhood?Continuity - I'm in London next weekend so I'll see any of you for a drink, I'm not fussyGardener
- A handful of NYC members met up a few times about 15 years ago and had some fun. I think shellie cooked us some tacos :)monospaced
- there was this one asshole, and he was just as big of a dick in real life as online, and I'm glad I never have to see that miserable guy ever againmonospaced
