Hahaha, Rebel without a Clue. Awesome.
Whoa, I'm drawing a blank here.

I'd like to think I was tuned in this year, but what was the deal with 17DaysOlderThanNES?

He was a guy who liked stirring shit for everything. Almost every one of his posts contained pure lashing rage at the topic for no other reason than to whip everybody into a frenzy of howling, poo-flinging Bonobos.

Ah, thanks for explaining. Without naming names, I think we had a bunch of those this year, and I suppose 17DaysOlderThanNES didn't register in my memory for that reason.
