Just look at the Archives folder. All the really good threads there were originally posted a LONG time ago.
Commercialization always ends up winning in the end. 
This is easily the biggest difference between then and now. The place has always had no shortage of bad posts, especially in the specific sports betting discussion areas, but GD is now a shell of what it was.

Some epic threads were the Taco Bell/Cop killer, Titan's Paging Big Louie.
A few years ago, pre-mod days, the pbox guys went to a knitting? site to learn the trade. We were kicked out.

Still remember the guy who actually put together an animated video of a covers character (it was fartnsniff, sup_bro, or Nosehair) attempting to pick up a chick in a bar. It was brilliant.
"Don't you know who I am?" 
Still remember the "What is the fattest chick you've ever boned?" thread.
"The stench that came out of there was impossible." Quote from some guy who attempted to go down on some cow.
Still my favorite quote on covers.

Didn't we also get to 'rate' the babe of the day?
I think the rating system went from 1-10 and if I clicked '4' for any one of them, I was being generous. An average of a high '6' would be a bombshell by 'babe of the day' standards.
I also remember they came out with videos too.
Some of them were: "Let me go gyrate by this brick wall over here in this random parking lot." Bizarre stuff as to what they thought the viewer would like.
I swear one of them was shot by a pool at a Motel 6.
Lipps, I remember making a thread complaining about an underage scantily clad babe of the day.
She had to be all of 15.

I think the last one we came up with was divorced.
LOL. The last time I saw him here he was showing the "Divorced" avatar. He was a good cat. Hope he checks in again sometime.

Hahaha really glad you brought that up. Great memories on this site used to read the forums every day starting at about 16 years old but didn't register until much later

There certainly used to be a lot more focus on actual wagering and it was a heck of a lot funnier. I still remember where I was the day a stumbled across the "Cop Killer/ Taco Bell" thread. I thought I was going to hurt myself. I'm probably lucky I didn't get fired. It's still probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on the internet. 
Seems like the average age of the posters has dropped from about 35 to about 22 (and that factors-in Don Juan, whose like 105), and the difference is profound.
I recall fondly those carefree days when you could always count on Ziggy to "put a pinky in the pooper" of whatever skank broad had been posted that morning. 
I miss that.
