point is, back in those days, we weren't big boys, and neither were they.
listen, people clique up everywhere. it's human sociology. some groups make a bigger impact than others. what traz did was go beyond the internet. they didn't just find pictures online, add captions, and post them up. they used their own appearances, personal pictures, their own voices, and video of themselves, as practical jokes. what's so sad about that? i think it's pretty funny lol.
also, everyone who ever dissed traz just never got it. like you're mocking taking over the forum. well, the very takeover was a mockery of itself. the idea was carried out intentionally because it was wack. you must be familiar with this type of humor, they use it on The Office. It's part of the joke. "This is a messageboard... so god how fucking wack" then you laugh.
