   Around here, faggot is practically a term of endearment.

   Heck, there was even a time when you couldn't say "dear" (even "endearment") without it converting to faggot (or "enfaggotment", respectively).

   Octavian, another quick NiS 101 tutorial: Word filters...
   
   For example, try writing "word filters" and see what happens.

   Originally posted by Octavian Hahaha my "cocaine days" were not solely spent on the internet. Whenever I came back home from nights out clubbing I would go on tiny bltc sometimes to see who was on. Everyone would be getting fucked up and we would talk for hours. There was a sense of community back then, maybe not in comparison to Totse but I wasn't apart of that era to know the difference. There was always a recurrent theme of nostalgia for the old Totse. I think rather than complain more should have been done to make it like it was. The same should be done for this site too. We don't want to be a bunch of hooded sith looking OG's lamenting about the good old days to the young ones. Let's make this happen.
   
   In regards to the dearly departed there was a few suicide threads and I believe a lot were infact genuine. As much as we laughed at each others' misfortunes I do feel sad for those that did off themselves. With Malice it was no surprise, the poor guy lived alone and seldom went out.I would have had more sympathy if it were not for his predilection to fuck felines.
   
   C'est la vie!

   
   In all honesty, the (your) name doesn't immediately jump out at me, but that could largely be because my peak time in the Totse/Zoklet/NiS sphere was well before we even moved on to Zoklet, so I wasn't around much for the more recent years.
   
   Either way, you seem like a quality poster. I can't speak for everyone else, but I personally like seeing folks with a sense of nostalgia and community surrounding this general ethosphere.
   
   Welcome, and please do stick around.

   Tachozoma (or however you spell it)?
   
   I don't think so.
   
   Unless he's under the radar and using a new name.

   Here are a few more threads that might help you get your bearings around here:
   
   Some O.G. Totseans: https://niggasin.space/thread/31755.
   
   What’s DH (for some more of DH's history, in case you're curious - this will help you get a feel for which posters are DH and not Totse/Zoklet with new names): https://niggasin.space/thread/33710.
   
   Some discussion about alts (alternate accounts - and also some talk about why people change usernames so much) around here: https://niggasin.space/thread/31525.
   
   
   A couple threads I made where I was exploring some basic statistics about the site to get a more quantitative feel for the lay of the land:
   
   NiS Statistics: https://niggasin.space/thread/31288.
   
   More stats and stuff: https://niggasin.space/thread/31496.

   I nominate myself resident historian (I might even do like a Ken Burns style documentary at some point, lol).
   
   I also nominate this to be the new orientation thread in case we get any more stragglers.

   Haha good stuff Gadzooks. I shall read these threads now and get up to date. We need more exposure for this site. It has potential. The layout isn't too bad. The site name and medicore banner GIFs could do with changing, but that's just my opinion.

    Don't worry. I'm on it.

    My plan is to have a link to this forum in all the places the Totse text file repository had links to its own BBS.

    Oh and here's another thread that might induce some nostalgia: https://niggasin.space/thread/33678.
    
    Another thing I plan on hosting alongside the original (as of about 2009, I think) text file repository from totse.com (not the forums... that's WAY too much data to have archived at the time, and I doubt anyone did because nobody really saw Totse's shutdown coming) is at least some selected highlights from the forums that either I personally archived, or other people have and I've collated it into the same collection.
    
    Heck, I might just make it a publicly editable Wiki (MAYBE... I don't want to take on too much here because I gotta pay bills and rent and whatnot so I need to obtain, and sustain, a day job).

    There aren't really "mods" in the same way as there were on Totse and Zoklet.
    
    It's pretty much just Lanny and Sophie (AKA: Psychomanthis)* as admins.
    
    ^{* Somewhere along the line I got the impression Sophie was a co-admin. I have no idea where I got that from, and I can't determine it from his user profile, so I'm gonna strike that out for now.}

    Good question... I thought he was.
    
    I have no idea where I got that idea from.
    
    Maybe I'm wrong.

    Oh wow.
    Maybe everything that "gadzooks" posted is, IN FACT, a lie.
    Let that marinate Octavian.
