I happen to not completely agree with this statement, although by now it's academic.
There are at least two things I regret not saving from that place; no, three. One, is that very very old thread started by Fluxboy (I think), which at some point featured the story of 'The Fox' written by a Greek member of this place. I think Flux was also the guy who, in another discussion recommended to masturbate daily to increase test production and get better results in the gym (I think it was at a time where he was posted to a lonely place where he had nothing much to do apart from working, and working out). Those were the early days of E&P, where literally everything was possible (and tolerated).
Also, there was a thread where people spoofed Disney soundtracks into gym songs, and some of them were amazingly inventive; last, but not least, my Brexit thread.
