Yes 72%

That place awesome. Yes, sometimes creepy, but lots of fun.

So should it make a comeback or like Michael told his sister, "that's the past Connie"?

No idea what After hours was, think it was before my time. I voted yes anyway

It was like OT but with more relaxed rules and you had to have been over a certain level or post count. It started in 2012 and I think that's when it ended.

see above for after hours. Unions were groups that members could create (it took for members to found a union) and invite other users to join, and use it as their own board where only their members could post. They were usually dedicated to certain interests/topics, that many OT users might not necessarily find interesting.

Unions. I miss unions. I don't really care about this After Hours thing, but I miss unions. The union system was a really cool way to build a community.

Maybe compared to 6 years ago. Back then I'd get suspended for exceeding the 5 quote chain limit.

Ouch, seems something quite unreasonable to get suspended over. :P Heh, I remember the stricter rules days, felt like it was also at least a little too easy getting point losses for levels back then too, I should know, considering I actually got a point reduction once. :P

And what made unions an even more fun and interesting feature, to this site, were that unions had levels too. Levels were not just limited to user profiles. :P

From what I remember, union levels became broken for a long period of time, but they actually did get fixed for a little while during union's last days (maybe 2012.)

And I think the union level system worked on how many posts the union obtained in a day.
