Title: Post number 5000.
Post by: DW on February 11, 2009, 05:51:50 PM
So, this is my 5000th post here. And that's not counting Chatboard. I seem to average about five posts a day...heh, I'm a regular spammer, aren't I?

Anyways, I guess I'd like to use this post to reminiesce. What are some of the best TDC moments we've had so far?

I'll never forget the grammar topic for sure. There was a lot of greatness in that topic right there. I don't think I've ever posted so quickly before.

HA2-wise, I remember when me, ZV, Alpha, and Orpheous did The First Mission. I wish we could finish that topic, it was a lot of fun--unfortunately, ZV seems reluctant to pull Dogura out of retirement long enough to finish it up >.>

I might make it to 1000 posts by the middle of the year at the rate I'm going... ???

Anyway, April Fools Day last year was pretty fun.

Heh, DW, I'm already past 1000 posts; But yeah.

You know, I figured that at 900 posts, you were a true member. So, I guess you've been a very devoted mod!

Hah, I'd forgotten about the April Fools' Prank. I can't believe it. That was good on both TDC and HA2. Then again, we hadn't even planned what happened on the forums here...and got into a bit of trouble for it ;)Still, fun times.

Well, one of the best moments here was...when we were all still here. Nabooru, Dragonlord, Jack, all those guys. We were all a great family. Until Nabooru flipped her lid and never came back, and Dragonlord just up and left. Then Jack announced that he had to leave, and for good reason. Wait, that's not a good moment!

I remember when we hit 5000 members....I think...but then something happened and all those members and they got deleted for not being on AT ALL.

Actually, most of them were bots.

I agree! Those were probably my favourite times, when everyone was here.

We can have similar (e.g. not exact, but close) times, though. We just need more members. :P

I think we're good as we are. We just have to adapt and make ourselves let go of our tragic losses. However, I'm still wondering where the heck Dragonlord went...no announcement or anything. Just logged off and never returned.

What did you do on HA2?

A couple years ago (2005) we went in to the word censor thing and changed everyone's name to something stupid like "Captain Sunshine" or something similar to that.

I don't really remember Dragonlord... *Goes to memberlist*

I remember reading that prank when I joined :p

Anyways, on HA2 last year we released a shop with the first new weapons and items and such EVER, and had them at affordable prices. Then we removed everyone's rupees and set them to 0. :P We also replaced words so that anyone asking "Hey RG, my rupees are gone!" the sentence would come out like "Shrek 3 was a good movie MacGyver, my warts are festering!"

Now that you mention it, I kind of remember seeing that shop, but I wasn't there on April 1st.

I'm never on for April 1st. I have a feeling it get's too chaotic.
