Genesis
In the beginning Rob created /board.

Now /board was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Rob was hovering over the 40k recommended limit.

And Rob said, "Let there be shite," and there was /talk. Rob saw that the shite was full of wankers batting insults back and forth, and He separated the shite from all that is decent and holy. Rob called the shite "/talk," and the rest he called "/board." And there was evening, and there was "Photoshop this Echidna"—the first Image Challenge.

And Rob said, "Let there be an expanse between the boards to separate /board from /talk." So Rob made the expanse and separated the wankers under the expanse from the wankers who thought they were above it. And it was so. Rob called the expanse "/QotW." And there was Thursday evening, and there was "Worst Record Ever"—the first Question of the Week.

And Rob said, "Let the wankers deviating from the question be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. Rob called the dry ground "Off Topic," and the gathered wankers he called "Home Sweet Home." And Rob saw that it was good. And Bert did call it gay.

In theory, I could go on like this...
