I went to search for this glorious thread and bring it back to life and I went to click on my search results and it tells me I can't do that because it DOESN'T EXIST! Someone please tell me I'm dreaming...

Good thing

Your a horrible person...It was such a beautiful thing..

Its still here by the way

Where is it I can't find it either?

It appears that some house cleaning has taken place. The last page (7) is from January. Seeing how the NRAOS thread had not been bumped (a move I tried back in Dec.) it probably was dumped to free up a lot of space for future threads...

If you want to rival RAOS again, you'll need to restart a NRAOS thread and keep up with it as they have done with the RAOS and are close to hitting 100 pages (at least the last time I saw it).

I have pages that go back to 2002. I think you can set your profile or something to have more pages. I have mine set to show all. I did a search and can't find the thread. It would be interesting to know why it was removed

it would be great if whoever started the RAOS thread just deleted the whole thing.

ive always wanted to see a topic as huge as that one just disappear

I'm sorry chewy... I don't think i can do that. I created the R.A.O.S. page for reasons known to those it was created for. It would be be wrong of me to just delete the topic that has probably set the forum record for most responses as well as most pages. I'm excited to see the R.A.O.S. page reach 1000 posts, and if I'm lucky maybe it will be me that leaves it! As for the N.R.A.O.S. page, I am actually flattered that someone would go through the trouble of creating and anti-RAOS page. You know that you have created something special when certain people despise it and feel they have to degrade it. I rather hope a new N.R.A.O.S. page is created and brings in a good number of replys. But I have to state my biased opinion that it won't ever reach the popularity of R.A.O.S.

It wasn't an anti-RAOS it was a non-RAOS for all us non-steve's....It wasn't made in anger or with bad intentions...Just a place for us as you Steve's have a place for all your naked frisbee stories and such...and personally I love RAOS...but I miss NRAOS too

It was a fun thread, I think the guys posting on it actually admired RAOS and it was done more out of respect, but then again, for the reasons Chase mentions. Who started the thread? Anyone remember?

Eventually ..... I also began to enjoy the NRAOS thread a bit, and even posted a few times ...... we in Steveville were simply upset that people thought that we wanted our thread to be exclusive ..... we don't ...... matter of fact, we really enjoyed the posting of others on the thread ..... it made things more interesting and it was a good way for our guys to talk with wrestling folk from around the state ....... I'd like to see everyone post on RAOS to see how fast we can get to 1000 ...... just for fun

OKAY.....what does RAOS stand for?

Royal and Ancient Order of Steve(s)

The "Steves" are a Kansas City Turner related group.

Wasn't it started by martialartswrestler?

sayler...did you research that...or are you a closet RAOS admirer yourself....good to see these things coming back at the end of the season....keeps the down time between season interesting....

Psycho .... get a new avatar .... the question mark just isn't you ..... and while we're at it, who will put up #900 for the RAOS thread?

Page 2 already!

I have always been a fan of superiorsteve!

I did a search and see that there are two posts by him, one on banter and another on NRAOS, when clicking on those it says I have requested a topic that no longer exists. I haven't seen him in awhile here but see him on ocassion on the national forums, didn't think anything of it but that could be it. Did he get kicked off the forums or something here? I'll ask next time I see him on the national forum, which has been a while even there.
