I think it was invented by some hermaphrodite named Adul. Or by a Member named Nef. I forget. They both did a bunch of neffing.

 

[moonshinemadness]

Nef was the name of some guy who used to post random cr@p in the forums and so random cr@p became known as neffing i think

This was brought up a while ago. There are a few memebers here that have the entire thing saved to HDD. Maybe one of them will pop up and offer to e-mail it to those that heve never read it. It was a great thread.

I miss Nowhereman.....I was his monkey.

I also remember the "BUTTER" thread started by Russ.

EDIT: though I can't remember if it was on the old Anandtech (1998 or 1999 maybe)

note: You may have to add in a resistor in series with the butter so you don't trip the breaker.

I remember the first "Do you remember the BUTTER thread" thread.

 

[Eli]

Question, growing up, we always just left the butter out on the counter, somtimes we would actually put it in the bread thingymagigie. I always wondered how it never spoiled. (or appeard to have spoiled) But I noticed in the summer it got pretty nasty looking, all half melted and such. And then when some sugar fell in it from sprinkling it on your cinamon toast, the next day there would be ants swimming and drowning in it, and with all the toast flakes in the butter already, you usually didn't figure it out until piece two or three. So, how often do you replace the roomtemperature butter containment apparatus?

LOL!!!

Funny that you should ask!

The original Nef was a n00b with the devil avatar who tried to level up his member status by posting, "Testing, please ignore." in the Forum Issues forum and replying to it a hundred times. I discovered the post and posted his name, "nef." I then linked the thread to OT, and starting calling people who posted worthless or repetitive things "nef." The term caught on, and has become part of AT history.

A bit of the pot calling the kettle black, methinks, because I have done my fair share of neffing. But it is my one meaningful contribution to the AT forums.

C'mon Adul, you know the answer, back me up on this one.

Not to be confused with Nowheremom, but I guess that's a whole different story.

Hey, Sam!! Long time no see. How are ya? Man this thread takes me back to 1998. I notice it's kinda bringing out some of the old cult too. Kinda like a "Dead Head" revival reunion. LOL

Hanging out at a job with a Proxy that blocked AT. Plus too busy/tired to post during my off hours. Just checking back to see what's up.

butter, Coke vs. Bruce Lee

ah - those were the days...

 

[Brutuskend]

Vaguely, seems it got out of hand with talk of sexual uses for butter as I recall.

 

[MrPALCO]

Yep, nowhereman was quite a character. Another oldie but goodie was the great Buy.com monitor scandal.

Hey there, JBAR !
