It is possible to retrace the evolution of Latest and Greatest. The moment of true revelation and cultural enlightenment occurred in December of 2009.
It was all 80ktsClamp's fault.
80 posted a bunny with a pancake on its head.
As night follows day, this led directly to the historic first underboob pic.
Superpilot92 then provided the spark that started the revolution. For his efforts he was recognized with another milestone. The first Delta pilot to be banned from APC.
The historic masterpiece photo has since been removed from APC and placed in the Smithsonian Air Museum, but I believe it was a young female of the well endowed yet scantily clad variety in a torn off football jersey flipping pancakes.
Creative genius and innovative thought is often frightening to the establishment. Think Galileo.
FTB of course immediately escalated the debate to indecent levels and way beyond tolerance:
And the coup de grace was delivered a few hours later when acl changed his avatar to the infamous "humping lizards".
From that moment on, the Renaissance had begun and its been all downhill from there.
WOW! The bunny with the pancake was post 20000. It seems like yesterday. I thought I was late to the game then because ACL already had 12000 posts at that point.
L&G has definitely morphed, but if (big if) those hiring rumors are true, it may return to its past glory. Lets hope so.
