Members don't see this ad.

Yes, I realize this is a pre-medical forum and wannabe neurosurgeons probably aggravate med students and doctors more than most, but that website was priceless!! It had anonymous "paper bag over the head" posts, a Hulk Hogan troll, and hilarious arguments about neurosurgery programs. Where else would the term "2nd or 3rd tier" apply to Stanford?! Posters would even use the word "sir" when insulting each other.
And most importantly, it had some really cool neurosurgery resources. Anyway, if anyone here is involved with that website, please resurrect it.

No, you sir, are an idiot! I am waiting for the resurrection!

Sir, you may be right about my idiocy, but I'll be damned before there's a resurrection!

Haha yep uncle harvey was pretty entertaining back in the day.

I remember browsing the forums as a pre-med still interested in neurosurg.

Harvey Cushing.

From Wikipedia:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Williams_Cushing
In the beginning of the 20th century he developed many of the basic surgical techniques for operating on the brain. This established him as one of the foremost leaders and experts in the field. Under his influence neurosurgery became a new and autonomous surgical discipline.

Can I ask why the website shut down?

I think the NSA shut it down. Maybe they view a neurosurgery forum as a threat to national security.

Hahaha perhaps. Too many great minds on one site?

I do!

I'm not the least bit interested in NS, but they really had some great articles on there.

Right now, ortho surgery is my favorite specialty, but orthogate pales in comparison to Uncle Harvey (well at least before the NSA shut it down).
