I came here to ask a question
I suppose I was vaguely aware of b3ta since the very early days, first having home internet in the early 00s, and having a lot of geeky friends despite not being very geeky myself. I remember watching all of Joel Veitch's classic stuff on rathergood.com when it was new. A dear and now sadly absent friend once sent me "The Boss is a Cunt" to cheer me up when I was having a crap time with work. More recently I followed a link to the 2008 presidential election image challenge and I think that was my first exposure to b3ta proper.

Then about ooh... two years ago I found on Youtube a little compilation of cheeky gifs based on the Roundhay Garden Scene (the first ever piece of motion picture footage). There are quite a lot of parodies of it out there and most of them are rubbish, but these ones were really witty. The whole thing was set to Taco's version of Puttin' on the Ritz. I liked it fairly well.

Then, in December last year, I fancied watching it again, but it seemed to have disappeared from Pootube. It occurred to me maybe it had been a b3tan's project, or at least some b3ta folk might know something about it. After a glance around /board I decided that, in any case, b3ta was clearly A Good Thing and The Place to Be. I swiftly joined, and after pulling up a metaphorical chair, shopping a kitten onto Steve Jobs's head and showing very little sign of ever leaving, I actually forgot all about the Roundhay Garden thing.

To be honest, it was probably shit anyway, and it just seems good in my two-year-old memory of it.

Having said that, if anyone does know what it is I'm on about, and could reply with a link, it would at least provide closure on my frankly rather banal reason for coming to this wonderful site.
