Hokay, so if you want a guide to the forum fads, there's the Dictionary being rebuilt, as well as the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum Wiki.

Correction: I believe the Forum Wiki has been deleted.

Makes sense. Since Jello deleted the Forum, why wouldn't he delete the Forum Wiki?

I think he deleted it when he was converting stuff to Serious, Inc., and figured "ayyy what's the point of having this anyway?"

No, what, who cares?

Memes are for for the entire internet, imo, or at least a portion large enough for notability (No offense to this forum, but compared to places out there that actually start full-fledged memes, we are tiny)

Plus, just from the small amount of experience I had, nothing I've seen take place really resembles a meme. But I wasn't around for TWUT, so I dunno.

Course, there's always the "calling out a meme ruins the meme" and "'fad' is a negative word'" things, but for lack of a better word, I'm calling them fads.

Fad is just as good a word as meme as far as I'm concerned. This is like arguing about whether they should be called "pants" or "trousers".

But like Joe says, "meme" seems to be something that ends up all over the intarwebs, whereas a "fad" seems to be limited in scope, and doesn't last as long. So, in this discussion, "fad" seems to fit better anyway.

How about we call them "things a lot of people went along with"?
