Reserved for the triumphant return of a member.
Quick history.
On another forum, Quixotica started his own EDC thread, after being a member for two years or so.
He said he "welcomed derailments", and we obliged in spectacular fashion, running his thread to five pages in two days.
For some weeks, "Dr. Frogs" thread became the go-to place for any kind of nonsense you didn't want to put in on-topic threads. In a way, it helped keep the mischief in check for the rest of the forum.
For reasons which will never be fully known, we got a free pass for a while. Then suddenly, things changed. Unless you stayed strictly on topic, you were made to feel that you had misbehaved.
A few people defected, forming the forum you are now viewing. At first, it was just the most persistent offenders, but soon, more people started showing up, from all over the Internet.
Although people may disagree (I expect it, here), I think the real reason this forum exists is because Quixotica told us we could.
