yeah, when chan came through, it caused everything to come to a crawl like it was being powered by hamsters running on a wheel

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Since there's no way to preserve this history besides writing about it

Instead of trolling

Here's the scoop

The old SOHH site was splotchy, people complained about the servers.. which would crash when there was a lot of traffic. Like big sports events. The most important events of whatever type

The joke was that the servers were powered by hamsters on hamster wheels

As we abandoned SOHH for the Coli, we referred to SOHH as "hamster" related jabs.

Then came a smiley. Which you could never guess the true meaning of if you didn't know

I think this is esoteric knowledge. No Prometheus

If one knows of Piff, then one knows of piffery.


What is Piff?
Piff could be anything.
Piff is happiness...and sadness.
