You know, Some_porcupine, you always happen to say the strangest things. It's like you can read English, but your syntax just puts you in a different world entirely from the rest of us here.

I think I'm just going to put you on the iceberg instead

Maybe in a few years we'll be able to name the eras, with ours being probably the 2nd not including the pre-forum era.
The idea of a bunch of bewildered scholars in the far future coming across some obscure site trying to classify the eras of Agora history gets a good chuckle out of me. The banning of NB would definitely probably be the transition to our current era. Although a good case could be made that the first era was really just when Agora Road was a vaporwave forum when it came to discussion :PepeHands:

I just hope little obscure forums like this one can outlive social media as those were infiltrated by bots, so we can see the glorious days of decentralized internet again......

I'm calling the votes now. Unless someone wants to object, the iceberg will include the following entries:

Dead Internet Theory
Agora Road is a vaporwave forum
Female users
/x/ advertisements
Sweet n Comfy on the age of marriage [UNIRONICALLY WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS]
Research [DO NOT RESEARCH]
Nagolbud
Agora Road is a psyop
"Agora Road is a psyop" is a psyop (was not on the ballot, because I bundled it with the previous entry)
Secret user who can only be seen once you reach level 9
Secret chatroom for elite members
Pregnant Agora-chan
Pre-forum era
Forum rollbacks of 2022 were ordered by the CIA to erase certain posts
Cult of Ankha
Vaporwavemaster1
r/agoraroad
PinkFluffyCat is Manpaint
Disillusion is a remake of Polybius
Agora Road is purgatory for MTTS to judge lost souls
Agora-cities
Accounts from 2017
Old usernames
Oldweb y2k revival
Latin-American takeover
Kolph's 5-second e-girl phase
Jesuits
Japan meetup
IlluminatiPirate Nairaland investigation
Furries and Bronies
Everyone's username is real
Angora-chan
1-in-a-million random quote on the front page
Webring
Unobtained awards
Thread from 2016
The L. in L. Rhodes stands for ░░░░
That time the real alien photo got posted on the forum
Psychic vampire killing the website
Agora Radio secret off-schedule transmissions (included by default because it's a good one but wasn't on the ballot)

At this point, we have to make the actual iceberg itself. For this, we need to decide on the number of tiers, the order of the entries, and the sidebar images. Here's an example, for reference:
iceberg.png

Basically, I want everyone ITT to order the results into tiers, and post some images as well.
Any Ideas?

I made this in 5 minutes, but I'm not convinced by the "Research [DO NOT RESEARCH]". I think that another entry that's a bit more concrete should have the [DO NOT RESEARCH]
Also, I'm not sure where to put the Sweet and Comfy one. It's not that disturbing in the grand scheme of things, and it happened last month so it's not some ancient lore thing
As for missing entries, these are worth keeping in my opinion
  • Analpope (his holeliness will never die)
  • Mel is real
  • Agora Road is a real road
