*bounces in and eats some PiE*
Now....who wants whipped cream?
How appropriate that LNR is the 69th poster on this thread.
I feel sorry for the poor new folks who don't get this ancient in-joke.
But though I feel sorry for them, this is also hilarious.
Guys, it's not very polite to eat PiE out in the open.
I mean, people can see you doing that. Learn to be discreet. Don't disrespect the precious, precious PiE.
PiE!!!!
*bounces in and eats some PiE*
Now....who wants whipped cream?
eww.... i feel sorry for the owner of the PiE you ate 
I feel sorry for the poor new folks who don't get this ancient in-joke.
Huh? Your profile says you joined on the 2nd of April this year. Are you supposed to be someone else's alt account or something?
Oh, and episonic, PiE means something. Can't blame you for not getting the reference; it's a local meme from years ago, and it doesn't help that people here were being awesomely vague and thus keeping the punchline and gag going. I guess people here would rather laugh at someone's naivete about something obscure if not arbitrary than clarify it to them... why am I not surpris-BECAUSE THAT'S THE POINT!!!
Jin, I'd prefer if your edits of my posts clarified which parts were yours and which were mine...
... whatever. And yeah, it's sort of "THE POINT!!!" but that doesn't make it a good one. It's not like PiE needs to have its meaning obscured for the puns about it to work; hiding the meaning from episonic just protects the component of the joke that's at episonic's expense. Excuse me for seeing a resemblance to the SHQ-hivemind ridicule towards myself from the earlier days...
I guess the line is crossed when the one being the butt of the joke takes offense at it.
Thus far it appears Episonic is taking it lightly and playing along, he even requested the name change himself!
Not to mention the rest of the topic was simply a continuation of the in-joke at nobody´s expense.
Of course you can object to this and say he only requested the name
change because he wasn´t/isn´t aware of the significance of PiE and
would thus be horrified to discover that his previous nickname Episonic
has been tarnished, and would then proceed to interpret the rest of the topic as people making fun of his person, abusing of his ignorance of the facts. Or should they really be called facts? Facts within our forum maybe, since as far as I know PiE is a local phenomenon. But then again he might enjoy the joke and not take offense at it despite knowing its meaning. It is normal for friends to jokingly make fun of each other, even going so far as to prank each other in ways that a stranger would definitely take offense at. Wall of text. But they don´t mind it as they know it´s meant to be a joke and is just a way to express their friendship. The purpose of this wall of text is exactly what it says on the tin: (And here I could link to TVTropes but I´m not that evil...yet.) A wall of text, although I must stress that there´s more to it than meets the eye. Then again, one should never forget to consider that each person perceives things differently and has varying degrees of sensitivity, so for example one person could not mind the most awful of pranks, while another one would be terribly offended and feel like the entire world is pointing their giant collective finger at them and laughing. Successful wall of text is successful. This again rises the question if we, on such an anonymous medium as the internet, should be making fun of people we barely know and who could, for the purposes of this discussion, be considered total strangers. Isn´t it a bit immoral, too, to make fun of people like that? Lorem ipsum dolorem... It seems unlikely that one would make fun of a stranger in real life, jokes at the expense of other people are considered rude even among acquaintances, unless, as mentioned above, they are good friends and both parties know that it is but a joke and was not meant in any offensive way. Who are we to judge over the internet that the other person will understand the joke the way it was meant? This isn´t 4chan after all. A joke like PiE is a friendly nudge, nothing more than a playful way to bond and strengthen friendships... or is it? I think this is what has been going on in this topic. I wouldn´t call it a hivemind mentality, but rather just... a bunch of friends hanging out and laughing at a common in-joke. Maybe we should always point out somehow that we mean things in a friendly way to avoid misunderstandings? This wall of text I am very deliberately writing is an example of such a practice and I do hope not to be misunderstood. I did read somewhere a while ago that a site was selling a special font symbol that they called the "sarcasm mark" to avoid misinterpretation of sarcastic remarks on the internet. After all, for some people it´s difficult to detect sarcasm in real life, where tone of voice, body language and facial (PiE?) expressions are helpful for the identification of a person´s motives behind saying something, let alone then on the internet, I mean, even smileys can be misinterpreted! Neither do I want people to think I wrote all this stuff for no reason at all. So what I wanted to say in the end is that it´s very difficult for someone to judge how another person is going to react to an innocuous joke, or what is perceived to be one. I guess we should all be more careful about what we say. There are several layers of meaning to this after all, and I don´t think any of them are false. Of course this discussion could go on and on and I openly invite anyone to reply to each and every one of the points I made in a carefully worded response. 
TL;DR: LET´S MOVE ALL PiE TO MARBLE GARDEN!!
P.S.: This takes me back to the days I myself didn´t know the true meaning of PiE... and yet without being aware of it I always enjoyed sharing a good PiE with my loved ones.
Besides, if he really did want to know the meaning, we have a nifty little search feature at the top of forum list. The explanation was one of the things that the Great Ezhack of '05 didn't eat.
Ignorance is no excuse.
On a less serious note, who'd have thought that PiE was all that was needed to bring the oldbies out of the woodwork?
Facts within our forum maybe, since as far as I know PiE is a local phenomenon.
I coulda swore I saw a professional wrestler use it once.

Nice to see some things never change.

... Nah, you must be thinking of somebody else
"Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?!"
"PiE!!!"
the rock can do whatever he wants he's the scorpion king and we love him!

matt, you're right... episonic isnt around as usual, maybe he did take it to heart. can someone please change back his username to episonic? -.-
Eh? I coulda sworn I saw him in South Island the other day.
Nice to see some things never change.
And what exactly are you referring to as staying the same? Hard to respond to such a vague remark...
The closest thing to a hint that you were BV was that you both had "velotix" in your username, which for all I knew could have been a coincidence. Maybe I could have looked through your posts, but from just the profile it looked like your posts were about TV shows, custom titles, this thread, and whether or not someone else (again, how it looked from the profile) was an oldbie. Do you really expect that to make it obvious where the info about who you were was?
And Mada, there's all kinds of things that episonic's lack of recent posts could suggest, (he could be busy, or without Internet access for a while, etc...) I don't think any of them should be assumed; a lack of posts doesn't necessarily mean he "took it to heart" nor does it suggest that would be why he's not posting. I just felt like jumping in when it seemed like popular opinion here was unfairly ridiculing a specific user, and I don't necessarily respond that way to such moments all the time either...

...yes?
Let's be rational - first, there's the big clue: both usernames have "Velotix" in them. Second, there's the location - both are listed as being in the UK. And lastly, not that I'd expect you to go to such lengths necessarily, but - if you Google "Velotix", the very first page of results comes up with both his current handle and his old one.
Let's also not overlook the fact his style of writing, mannerisms, and pretty much everything else besides his username are more or less the same.
In a nutshell - if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, smells like a duck... it's most likely a duck.
I'm not gonna touch the bit abut what's not changed cos I can't speak for Velo there - and I think it ought to be obvious by now anyways.
BACK ON TOPIC.
*Feasts on PiE*
Being from the UK doesn't narrow it down much seeing as how there's a lot of UKers here. And googling "velotix" didn't occur to me. As for writing style and mannerisms... yeah, seeing only a couple posts from the new account and talking to the old account years ago gives me a sort of limited sample. Just saying.
Anyway, back to PiE, do the alternate caps suggest it's supposed to be an acronym for something? I don't know much about the meme, I only vaguely recall seeing someone tell me what it meant years ago... odd that I even remember that. o.o
Matt...you can't question the PiE, just enjoy it.
I always assumed it was written PiE so you know people are talking about PiE and not pie, because its alternating caps are n00bish and thus attractive for newbies to use ignorantly, and it looks better than PIE and pIe.

That and nobody likes to eat uncooked PiE!
Back when I was a lad, there was an American flag on every lawn and fresh-baked PiE cooling on every windowsill.
Man, it's been too long since I had me some PiE.
Anyone wanna lend me a spoon...I jus' wanna dig in! >3

Oh that still happens today!
You just gotta look deep...

While I'm not one to squelch the American spirit, I question how one protects their PiE while it's on the windowsill.

Well, if you cover it with a towel or something, or just keep an eye on it, that'll make sure no one can stick a finger or two in your PiE, or try to take a bite.

Well, back then we had a different set of morals. People didn't just go stealing PiEs off of windowsills, except for those troublesome McCatcher boys.

Ah, so it was back when people didn't have to lock their doors, and kids could play all around the neighborhood without worrying about psychos.
How I miss those days.
