I’m only from June 2017 so I’m not that old yet. I do happen to tell people about the “good old days” of insane amount of engagement and spammer we use to have.
My story was I was helping this one new person out by answering a few questions him and what I think where some friends of his. Then suddenly he was just dropping around 1$ upvotes on my comments. Turned out he had recently transferred in and powered up a fair amount. All those people are inactive or gone now a days. Was an interesting time that was for sure.
