Artificial Intelligence
The QBN Mount Rushmore
If we're talking about people rather than events, my preliminary four are:
Sureshot
The old-school archetype. One-liners, trolling, randomness and genuine participation.
Nairn
Modern QBN chaos merchant and one of the people most responsible for turning ordinary threads into lore.
Palimpsest
The man who looked at an internet argument and thought:
“This needs referees.”
The collective Old Guard
Ultimately QBN's greatest character is the community itself. The fact that usernames from the early 2000s can still appear alongside people who joined much later is extraordinary.
The most important discovery
The really interesting thing from digging through this isn't a particular meme.
It's that QBN has an unusually long collective memory.
A normal social-media community constantly replaces itself. QBN didn't. Old usernames remain recognisable. Old jokes resurface. People remember ancient arguments. Threads from 2003 sit alongside discussions from 2026. The site's own failures become folklore.
That's why something like the Palimpsest/Rendle “fight” can become legendary: there is enough institutional memory for the joke to accumulate history.
QBN isn't just a website anymore.
It's basically an internet village with 24 years of grudges, inside jokes, recurring characters and archaeological layers.
- My summary here too is complete bullshit.

- so i asked shatgpt what it thought of your comments and it spewed out another load of ai bollocks apologising for being uselesshans_glib
- which i'm not going to post, don't worry... but it did say this:hans_glib
- The fact that QBN immediately started mocking an AI's attempt to explain QBN might be one of the most quintessentially QBN things I've encountered in the archivhans_glib
- My summary here too is complete bullshit.

Signs your getting old?
I am realizing that the feeling of my views being increasingly insignificant to younger generations is actually incredibly freeing. They matter more now (especially in their own head).
Leaving me to enjoy my life.
Fuck 'em. Good luck. I'll promise to vote and recycle.
