A question for old-school songfighters:

[john m]

Does anyone remember all of the "SongFight Rules?" The one that originated "Rule 3: Pussy."

You have to be from the old dumbrella boards to have any idea what I'm talking about.

This is a fairly time-sensitive question. If you happen to remember them, I'd appreciate an answer. Thanks.

I don't think you mean rules. I think you are referring to the official list of excuses for not submitting. I used to have the whole board archived, but then my computer was stolen. Now I realize it was r stevens who stole it.

[john m]

Hmm, yeah, you're right. I'm mixing up two things. I could have sworn the old board had an unwritten rule of "Don't write songs about SongFight!" but I thought it was part of a greater set of rules. I realize now I am mixing things up.

On top of how much it sucks that your computer was stolen, I really would have loved to peruse that archive. Too bad.

[Rabid Garfunkel]

Is that the list where rule 4 was "Suck it"?

That's all I've got.

[roymond]

Yeah, Blue was an active editor.

[Hoblit]

Now I realize it was r stevens who stole it.

Have I missed the story on this?

[fluffy]

I think that Spud is insinuating that r stevens wants to completely destroy every remnant of the old Dumbrella UBB.

I don't understand why either.

[Spud]

No, only the SongFight! part. I never got the feeling that he was that friendly to us after Colin bagged off.

i poked around here a bit but couldn't find much, though it was fun to look at old posts from 7 years ago...

Spud's right that the list was a list of excuses, and I thiiiiiink that excuse #3 was more specifically "I am a pussy". I will try and see if I can find the rest of the list using that phrase.
