Arg, don't do that! The talk about cows, and old strange flash movies has brought up unpleasant memories. Now I have "I'm a Cow" stuck in my head.


And as for the original question, something is timelined when it's been posted a while ago. For instance, the squirrel video was posted a while ago here. It's basically someone saying "eh, it's nothing new, we've all already seen it" I think timelines are occasionally overused, I would probably save them for things like AYB or lobster magnet, things that got big to the point of being annoying on this board.

this is the timeline. it means you were too slow and the item you pointed out has been pointed out about 100 times before

Well, actually, if you put up an AYBABTU link, you'd probably be beaten to a pulp. This board (and the entire internet) had some serious over-exposure problems with AYB.

But yes, you've got the idea. If something has been posted in the past more than about 2 or 3 times, someone will likely timeline it. Some people will post a timeline after only a single reposting, but that's usually frowned upon, as many don't catch it the first time anyway.
