CC was a lot friendlier, but PR was super wild and crazy. Until it became censored and it migrated here. Then the real Wild West took off. |

90% of the board looked like this
;;..;,;,;,''';;.,.,,.,.': ttiwwpoytpc, btwsaytpc ...;..,,,,,....: stfu u mafysff ....;;: cr ...;..,,,,,....:: etb?
Completely inscrutable. Looked like a hard-drive in the midst of a formatting schizophrenic break, or the output of fat guy sitting on a keyboard. The good news is one month of 20-hour days immersing myself, and not only did it make sense, it made more sense than anything Id ever been a part of in my entire life |

Date: February 9th, 2026 1:25 PM Author: fragrant address found PR while researching colleges. PR had no registration and you could just post, author line was editable just like e-mail and subject. josh lewis was the paid mod and didn't take the job very seriously. later jeff adams was a catty gay queerbag who did. eventually they moved to Vbulletin and that pissed everyone off so Rach being an enterprising jew figured out how to recreate the old board and xo was born.
PR also had no law board which was 1600 |

I spent the entire time on the PR board, which I found by accident searching for rankings, law school advice, etc. Was on and off xo through law school. You could see it up on multiple people’s screens during class. Now our summer associates are robotic weirdos and it’s so disappointing. Took ~8 years off as a sometimes lurker. Poasted a lot 2013-CXII. Hardly poast now—busy with kids, bort is much less interesting, and I now work at a firm that definitely would not look kindly on me doing this on the work comp that I’m in front of 14 hours/day.

And I want to remember it, I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond. A diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought of the genius of that the genius of that, the genius. The will to do that. Perfect genuine, complete crystalline. Pure.

Date: February 9th, 2026 5:38 PM Author: clear talking school I can't recall. Probably randomly one night in college while killing time on the computer in the dorm room. Sometime in 1999-2000. Got suckered in giving advice about applying to colleges. Then the law board emerged and I was taking the LSATs and it took off from there.
Some great years. I'd think the 2003-2006 era was peak. A PP commented it's a rare place for unfiltered thoughts. I agree. Which is probably why I still glance at it once a day like a terminal addict who can't ever quite give up cigarettes. Like cigarettes, most of the time it's trash and you know it tastes like shit and does you no good, but once in a moon it really hits the spot. Xoxohth is the online version.
And speaking of terminal addicts, xoxohth has gone from the friendly professional neighborhood bar a la Cheers to an edgy histper dive bar with a hint of irony and grunge to a genuine trailer park trash bar in the hollows of WV. |

I'm pretty sure I first poasted during UG, but I don't have any specific recollection of poasting until 1L.
I'm pretty sure that during UG I just made a few very practical threads asking for advice. And then only started real POASTING 1L year.
Back then you'd see people poasting in class. It was trippy. |
