When was the peak of Newschoolers

The rise of facebook and mobile were very detrimental to the forums. People these days aren't hanging around on their laptops all night, rather staring into a tiny screen with a shitty input method. Very hard to bang on in endless threads under those circumstances.

As well, the mainstream social media offers a very curated experience where you can tailor your friends and block trolls.

Its definitely very different these days. Going through a huge re-birth, though I think its going to end up being the best thing that ever happened for us.

It was good when people posted up facebook pics of slutty girls in their high school.

Can someone bump that thread and start adding to it???? Thats why got me to join and not just occasionally check out an edit or lurk.

Si.

When Rowen posted everday, and nomensteven was a guy that posted things and whatnot. I remember when iggyskier was making threads about building a skipress in his garage.....turned into On3P.

PH was poppin'.

I came to NS because I watched the original Road Trip Challenge, and the first hyphy edit and googled them later to show someone and there was newschoolers.com.

I think that was late 06 or early 2007. Didn't even know the forums existed for a few months.

Do you remember Maximumsushi's name change game thread? Before the user name change feature was around? That thread had me rolling, so funny.
 
Looks like we’re living in the peak now. Still a fair amount of OG’s kicking around. Plenty of youngins droppin dope AMA threads and keeping the spirit alive in the forums. Definitely more depth these days, and at the end of the day we’re all skiers, and even though social media slowed these forums down I feel that just weeded the chuds out.
