When I was a tween (or almost) someone developed a beef with a local sysop and started posting, "WE HAD A DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" over and over on the BBS's graffiti wall that you saw at login. It became a local meme and people started posting it everywhere in the local calling zone for no particular reason. It was the first sort of flash event I saw, and a significant development in the local culture I was in, but today that culture has been entirely destroyed, and it's a weird thing I don't share with anyone. But it always comes to mind as though it might be relevant, and never is.

Becoming a local meme on local internet had to be so much worse than it is today. No gen alpha child will understand the pain of getting dunked on by all 10 of the people that had a computer near you

Was it also spammed in L.O.R.D. as well?
