The Roperboards Wiki

Roper
Roper is the greatest band on earth. Besides Bon Jovi.

braveSaintSaturn
braveSaintSaturn is also known as bS2.

Guerilla Rodeo
Guerilla Rodeo only had three songs, but they were some of the best three songs you'll ever hear.

Five Iron Frenzy
Five Iron Frenzy had a cool horn section, and most of their songs were either funny or deep and thoughtful.

Exhumator
SPAM JAM!

Kansas
Kansas is the epitome of classic rock, and their greatest song is not actually "Carry On My Wayward Son" or "Dust In The Wind," but actually a toss up between "Song For America" and "Point of Know Return".

(EDIT: This band does not actually feature any of the members of Roper/Five Iron Frenzy. Basically, Kevin (aka KEVLAR) is using Wikipedia.org to exhalt his own musical preferences. Which I am totally ok with because Kansas is pretty nifty. "Carry on, Wayward Son!")

Roperboards
The Roperboards are a place where people talk and make fun of each other.

[add: The Roperboards cannot be contained by any specific place on the internet. We ARE the RB. The internet license timer thought it could destroy us. But oh how we showed it. pwn'd. "Don't go to the RB, BE the RB," etc.]

Poasting
Poasting is when you click the "Post Reply" button after typing something into the text box that appears above it. Typical poasts consist of something awesome, crazy, random, unintelligible, funny, exciting, or stupid. 1337 sp34k can be used as frequently as desired.

Toasting is very similar to poasting in that the outcome is something delicious. The difference, however, is that sometimes Jesus will appear on a slice of bread that is being toasted.

Random fact: the siding of the butter on toast does not affect the side that toast lands on when you drop it. (I.E. The buttery side will Not always land face down!) Random facts is useless information, unless your name happens to be Jonathan Vajda, or you want to entertain really lame people.

The Boardies!
This section will be devoted to describing the different boardies. There are only a few that are still active, but the boardies are a tight knit group, probably even family.

KEVLAR
KEVLAR is so cool it hurts. He also likes pi&#241;a coladas, and enjoys kissing in the rain. He is also very availible, ladies.

Dave
Dave is awesome, and if it weren't for him the board would be practically dead.

Sara D
Her last name doesn't actually start with D, and the consensus is that she is "Smokin' hot" She also less than threes everybody. Like this: <3!

Jonathan Vajda
When this d00d makes a poast, you can't even understand it. He may spontaneously combust someday, we just don't know when.

Mulligan
The boardie named Mulligan is known in real life as Blake. He brings a small amount of sanity to our little home.

PEZ
Don't call him Justin, call him PEZ. Known little to the outside world, the word PEZ can be used to substitute the word whore. He poasts so much, it has been assumes his poasting has caused a short circuit in Jonathan Vajda's robot-like brain, causing his general insanity.

man, living in the eastern time zone sucks
This is the most impressive thread on earth. It has been revived from THE ABYSS and now lives in the mulliboards.

Ask Chaka
Where people could ask Chaka any thing and receive some kind of an answer.

THE ABYSS
THE ABYSS is an awful place filled with stupid threads and comments, which have by now died.

However, this ABYSS has taken great threads from our eyes. For example, the Katie thread, that once was almost as large as the Eastern Time Zone Sucks thread. It fell from it's amazing spot on the RB while the person the thread was about was away for a week and she came back and found it not! She was deeply saddened and cried for many years. Still now. She can't help shedding a single tear thinking about the horribleness of that moment of loss.

We at the RB darn the ABYSS to...wherever it came from. May it never reach our borders again. NEVER!

Florida
Has lots of hurricanes that Floridian boardies frequently discuss and complain about during hurricane season. Boardies from Florida are crazy because they get excited easily over cold weather. They wish for snow so very badly, but it never comes. It's fun to laugh at them if you're from a more northerly state, such as Colorado, New England, or the Maple Leaf State.

Points
Gestures of appreciation on the part of specific boardies awarded to each other for humorous or awesome feats accomplished on or relating to the boards. There have been a few attempts at creating programs for the spending of the various points, but so far, these efforts have been largely fruitless. A list of the different points awarded by different boardies follows.

Hardcore Tokens
These are special tokens only given out by Mulligan, for things he deems hardcore. Like this Wikipedia entry. These are fairly rare, as Mulligan tends to be picky on what is or isn't hardcore.

Board Awards
These were held twice on the board. Both times very successful. They are awards voted for by the other member on the board. Categories some times include "Post Whore," and others i can not remember.

sara'd points
KEVLAR has a thousand of these!

Clubs
This is going to be a very long list, so I will start it with what I remember best, and everyone talk about what they remember.

The FrenzyBoard Dropout Club (FBDOC)
The first club of the RB, with a cool icon designed by shrimp I believe. The club was conceived shortly after some obnoxious Frenzyboarders launched an attack on (and talked smack about) the still-infant RB, and many young RB'ers realized they shared something in common: they had been rejected and/or turned off by the malice and elitism of the aging FrenzyBoarders. They realized they were FrenzyBoard dropouts. So they started a club. Thus began the first formal form of comradery on the RB...

memberlist

 * Resident Ladypirate and Chief Foodfight Initiator: sara d. (sunshineandlightning)
 * Head Ninja and Vice Ladies Man: KEVLAR (also bulletproof)
 * Ladies Man: Chief Edd (bowling)
 * Official Spider-Man and Trumpet Playa of the FBDOC: Dave (the Trumpet Playa, fluh!!)

Roper Board Revolutionaries (RBR)
The Roper Board Revolutionaries were mostly not part of the frenzy board, but were the new people that came and revolutionized the board. With new ideas and craziness both of these clubs made the roper board what it was.

The Lawnmower Fight
In the early days of the RB, sara d. launched many a virtual foodfight, and others quickly joined in. Kev, Kev, Josh, and Melly if sara d's memory serves her. Feel free to correct. Virtual foodfights usually involved jello, brownies, obscure fruits, whatever came to mind. One particular foodfight (see "'man, being in the eastern time zone sucks...") involved a twisted series of events (involving Kevin/mxpxacoustic, brownies, and a virtual lawnmower added to the scene) that led to "kevin brownies." Needless to say, this particular foodfight kind of died after that. No one really felt like virtually pelting each other with kevin brownies, and sara d. was very sad at the virtual dismembering of her bro.
