View Full Version : Anyone else literally grieving?

I've been on the internet at least once a day, every day, for 10 years now, and apart from the usual shit like google and youtube, totse was one of the only sites I HAD to check regularly.
It really is THAT bad that it's gone, it's like losing a limb
But definitely lots of win for Zok, I hope this place manages to pull enough people back to get the same atmosphere we all loved totse for
I have a feeling everything is going to be okay (Y)

It dose sadden me. There was always one site to trun back to. That was totse. When you were down and depressed and coulden't find any lolz. I have taken totse for granted :(
Do either of you remember how unreliable totse was? When I was a lurker there was a period of a few months it didn't work. And regs were closed for ages before I signed up.

I know what you mean, OP. I was never that involved in Totse, just read some text files and lurked the BBS, but it was surprisingly saddening to hit the Totse button, as usual, in a bored, idle moment, and see the news. It set me off on some panicked "ohgod there's so much I haven't read" rush to archive a bunch of shit I may never read anyway.

Totse got me straight-A's in high school. No joke.
I'd get an assignment and have it done proper in 3 days time because of the shit I'd read through on that board.

I am not grieving at all. Totse had turned into a cesspit of morons and fucking children recently, and while it would have been nice if they could clean it up it was inevitably going to be put out of its misery. This place has a good vibe to it, so im content.
That and when it comes down to it, it's just a fucking website. Some of you are acting like you lost a reletive.
I'm a little sad. Mostly I'll miss the totse colors and bg... I say we make this place look as much like the old totse as possible!
lol that would be sad, wouldn't it?

Totse had turned into a cesspit of morons and fucking children recently
That happened each time registration was closed. It went to shit in 2006, alot of people signed up and it got really fucking bad with stupid fucking threads. Then they closed and opened up again in 2007 or 2008 and all the people from 2006 started complaining how totse had gone to shit, when all the newbies were posting all the exact same shit they did.

^^The charm about this joint is that it wont get that same kind of heat.
Hopefully most people will discover it through recomendations from existing members, not by typing "How to fuck my mother in the ass without waking her up" on google.
I know it's elitist but I don't care! Nobody under 15 and nobody under 100 IQ, dammit!

We can only hope. I'm sorta between this place and the totse2 one in my sig, I think if totse2 got more members it'd be better.

I'm here now I'm not going anywhere else, it's funny yesterday I was actually advocating the creation of a totse clone, now I'm quite against that idea, just move on guys.
As of right now, the site is still up. It's so instinctive to just go there. It's going to be hard when it's gone for good. I've grown up on that site.

Like EssJay said, the rush of idiots and general downhill posting on totse came in waves, the BBS went through phases, but the thing that kept it together was the regular members who stuck through it, and somehow just their presence made it always feel like home
Maybe saying it's like losing a limb is taking it a bit far, but i've never felt so sad to see a website go
totse was a perfect example of a homepage, you could be in an internet cafe in the middle of nowhere, but there was always a feeling of familiarity on totse that no other forums could match
It's true what people have said, it isn't so much losing totse, it's the disbanding of the community, you know?
We had something special

I only started posting on totse fairlyly recently but I've been lurking for years. Totse is the reason I am who I am today. It freed my mind.
Real men don't grieve. But yes, it is sad that a site I've frequented almost every day for the last 5 years closes with just 1 day's notice.

I felt the same way I did when I finally realized high school was over, and shit would never be the same again. That surreal, depressing feeling when you're just sitting there reminiscing about all the good times and how it went by so quickly.
Shit felt like Good Riddance by Greenday should be playing in the background.

Totse was part of my life and that part seems to finally be going away now.

It sucks that we've lost Totse...
I've been posting for almost 3 years and lurking for more... almost 10k posts... countless hours and memories...
It's not just a site. I've grown accustomed to it, like going to Google to search for something, Totse was my way of killing time, learning a thing or two and talking to people all over the place.
bah :(

Touche, however its still hard to see something that was beautiful up until even 2005 go away and then see its after math in 2009 and how it went from a great place everyone hoovered around to a place that was worse then Detroits ghettos.

Perfect description. I had the same feeling when I graduated and a similar one now that totse's gone.
It's so damn depressing to start up firefox and not have your homepage load.

I'm pretty depressed. I mean, nearing the end, the last year or so especially, were pretty bad with so many trolls, chanfags, memes, etc, but in the lesser-visited forums, there was still much intellectual conversation to be found and enjoyed. I learned a lot from Totse, and hopefully I taught a lot on Totse. It will be sorely missed.
Thanks Zok, I think you're doing a great job.

Hi guys, needmoney here.
I've only just heard the news, and I'm pretty shocked and upset. Been on the boards since 2004, and it's pretty much been a big part of my life since then, as sad as that may seem.
The day Totse shut down was however, inevitable. I'm just glad that the spirit of Totse will not be destroyed so easily, that we have back up boards like this for us to repopulate.
But shit, I'm gonna miss the old days. Thanks guys, we had some good times.

More like the whole staircase.
I'm probably just in disbelief that it's gone, so I'm not really that arsed right now.

Also, are you the same yoplait from before? As in, you are that girl with big green eyes from kangaroo land, who met up with Don quixote? or however it's spelled.

Absolutely this.
Although I must say the spirit of totse is also important, which by the way, is sadly missing from this SHIT site, whereby the NIGGER zok makes it plain that he's the owner so he can make up rules however he pleases, freedom of speech be damned.
yo zok, are you reading this? i bet you are, cause you are a fucking loser with no life, who gets a kick out of lording it over faceless strangers on the internet in an attempt to get an ego boost that is so sorely missing from your life, you fucking SHIT

If it weren't for him, Totse would probably be dead right now.
