never been a part of one, not really interested in them other than the references made occasionally. Considering how long I've been here I feel like I should already know, but I don't



So, WTF is a pit thread?

They don't work.
People couldn't play by the rules so Ed locked all of them but one.

Basically, say you read a post, and the result was a dumptruck full of sand was poured into your vagina.

Sure, you could let it go, but where's the fun in that?

You'd go start a pit thread, go full retard, and hope there would be others that would join into your autistic rage.

At least I'm fairly certain that's how it worked.

It was a no holds barred forum, less moderated than most here.
But people couldn't be civil, which I think says more about how they are in real life than anything else....

They were dumb.



For immature people who can't work out their differences in a civil manner.

I'm curious too

Did two adversaries square off and yell at each other?  (figuratively)

The pit was the single greatest form of mindless entertainment on this site. And now we're all flowers, rainbows, and hand-holding.



May the Pit rest in peace.

Not quite, but close enough.

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.

the best pit I remember was a cal lout for a false  green beret veteran comment , the defendant ruthlessly stuck to his guns until the plaintiff demanding more & more evidence that this SF wannabe was in fact a basement dweller, then it got fun when the plantiff let slip a sentence of classified info - the thread was reported and shit canned immediately.

ahhhhhh goodtimes

but if you

offer a dd214 to the mods you gain access to the .mil forum which has an internal pit thread.  - see tank

No, it was more like:

1. The most butt-injured party started a callout thread in the Pit.
2. Five or six pages of pile-ons by other members who either had an axe to grind with the calloutee, or just wanted to stir shit
3. Calloutee may or may not show up, with varying levels of participation and purse swinging.   If he stuck around long enough, he would generally accumulate a coterie of allies and it would degenerate into a hockey game.
4. Thread would be locked by the mods when they were tired of all the bullshit.
