No deadlines...
Delayed death vigilante, what the heck is that? That's a thing?
Not reviewed for balance
What other types of things from back in the day are nothing more than ancient memories.
When we did have deadlines, they tended to be alot looser and longer.
Games didn't have as many pages because people didn't spam post as much. Walls were more common.
Cases were expected more often rather than playing by gut.
Meta wasn't as widely used, at least that's how I remember it.
There were no hydras.
No dead QTs, I don't really remember seeing Dead QTs until after I came back in 2011 after a year and a half off.
Alot less people trying to "tee hee gambit," because lying was seen as lynchable and anti-town.
There was a LOT more theory discussion back then.
Even when people raged, it wasn't as angry and personal as it can be these days. (Myself included) Bans for personal attacks didn't really happen but that's because even when people were pissed it wasn't nearly so nasty.
Sometimes it was so hard to find replacements for a game that slots were modkilled or even had dead players replaced into a different slot. (I remember Darox once getting killed off by the scumteam, then replacing back into a different slot... which had been one of the scum that killed him)
