OK, so I've had this burning question for a while...
Why block everything with the phrase "[Diet Dr. Pepper]"? Does it have a back story or is this just completely random?

I think there's a backstory to it, but it was before I came here. I may or may not have all the details correct, but apparently some user who's now left made some funny wear word substitutes, and [Diet Doctor Pepper] was supposedly the funniest.

Yeah, that's basically what happened. (I was there when it all went down. It was way funnier than he made it out to be. You had to be there, haha. )

Who was it and what topic was it?

Oh it was [Diet Dr. Pepper] Topic by [Diet Dr. Pepper].

Really?

It was the great GT Veteran ShadowHawk in (if I remember correctly) a New Years topic from a couple of years ago. I believe said topic has been Auto-deleted, however.

It seems like it went back farther than that... I can't really remember a time in the past +3 years when it wasn't here. But I could be misremembering.

I've heard Delta_57_Dash and Shadowhawk's names come up in conversations involving it but I'm not sure if they were the creators or if they were just contributers/promoters.

But by [Diet Dr. Pepper] I really don't care why it's here as long as it doesn't [Diet Dr. Pepper] leave.

Well, the post I'm talking about was the first time I heard it, and that's when it came to be popular, I think. (and if you remember, I've been here 3+ years as well )

Yeah, pretty sure it happened around the time I showed up.
I could be wrong though...

Well like I said, I could be misremembering. You do have a couple months on me in membership so I'll abide by your judgement.
