I've been visiting the desert colossus for 6 years now. I can't believe it's been that long. Members have come and gone- Administrators have changed... There are things I remember, like chatting with Pygrusfin and EmeralbZelda while we were at school. I remember the PostMan epidemic, and Medli getting banned... Man that sucked- I liked her, but Jack slammed the Ban-hammer. Was it for repeated spam? I just have memories with all of you, and love you all so much. To some our older members, how long have you been here, and what memories do you have?
I love this place too~ Almost three tears for me. Oh man, where to begin...
There was the time that Rickroll video was stock here, and we couldn't get it to go away, or when the forums were completely down... And then there were things like the TDC comics, the first Sandcast, the clans... I remember struggling SO MUCH to get Pokemon to work for me, Mags, TP Zelda, Shoe, and all of the Brawls... And you all really helped me with things like girls, and life, but most importantly video games... And there have been WAY too many lulz to count.
I don't know what I'd do without you guys. X3
I'm goin' on five.
I, too, remember Medli, and I can't say that I'm too proud with joining in on some of her spamminess. XD
And that was around the time we were awaiting Twilight Princess's release. I remember the delay being absolutely devastating. D: But we pulled through.
And then Brawl was on its way. I remember we were all excited about it. Man, sharing the hype with you guys... It was a great time. :D
Here's hoping for more!
I'm going on about four or five.
I remember being introduced by Nabooru (the older members remember her, no doubt), then being slammed by her later that same year, the release of the Wii (and Twilight Princess) was pretty hectic, my repeated unexcused absences, Brawl was pretty wild, then there was the time I actually fought two of the members on Brawl...
Jack leaves, the rise of Gamefreak, Kamakaziplumber, (Who else was there?) and later Tacheon...
The rearrangement of the Moderators...
TDC forums go down, and there was nothing I could do but hope for a return (I cried)...and it did come back to life, and there was a party involved...
Yes, Twilight Princess was a time when we could say the word "Twilight" with pride. What the hell happened to that time period?
OH! Then there was the TDC member awards! As stressful as that was for me, it was pretty fun! I'm not doing it again, though.
You guys...if there was any event I would rather spend on any forum I go to, it'd be here.

Ah, the good ol' days...
Remember when Emeralb Zelda and his brother staged that "somebody is breaking in" prank? Pea-tear, we're talking about Pope-of-Donuts Jeffrey XD
I sort of remember that. I don't think I was here right when that was going on though.

Yeah, there were a few of us here, and for a little bit we were genuinely worried. But then his brother posted about how he was going to get a ladder and something stupid like that, and it got really retarded. You'd have to imagine them running around with laptops strapped to them for it be remotely realistic at that point. I forgot who called them out on it, but somebody did and they admitted it was a hoax. It was just really really retarded >.<
Leave to Jeffrey though ::)

I read the whole thing, up to the end when I replied and whocares wanted to give him another warning XDD
Awesome thread. Also, he forgot that I lived close, and could call people for confirmation. His prank was bound to fail the second he decided not to let me in on it.
lol I remember reading that! Ah, good times. Good times.

Are you sure your shield approves of that motion?
I can't believe that someone would go ahead and prank that, though. That sort of stuff is taken seriously in this country....I think.
Its opinion is irrelevant. >:D (Sorry, buddy. I'll give you cookies later...)
Anyway, to respond to your comment, I present to you the GIFT. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GIFT) Language.
Ah, yes. The GIFT. That explains EVERYTHING. Can I have my cookies now?
NO. DX *munches*
...Okay, you may have one. *tosses*
Yay! Cookie! nom nom nom nom
Hey, this is General Discussion guise.
Thanks. Back on topic.
Ah, yes. That reminds me of how many times we would go off topic here. The results were kinda amusing. Thank you, Han Trololololo.
You mean like this one (http://colossus.rhida.ch/forum/index.php?topic=1147.0)? And that was even after Jack put the Chatboard up.
Wow. That...just...wow. What the heck happened there?

I explicitly remember that.
I personally think that the worst time these forums went through was the leadup to Jack's official departure. With the mods and members warring against each other, it was horrible.
Wait, what? That's why he left? I was wondering why so many people got banned while I was gone! Jeeze!

After rereading that topic, I noticed that there are entire pages of members who have had their accounts deleted.
One of Postman's posts made me LOL:
"My stereo type's a Sony... :/ "
*looks at date* ...How long was I gone, exactly?
Oh my God the Postman epidemic. Jack repeatedly banned him and he was like "you can't get rid of me." He was using an IP scrambler or something as I recall. I forgot who was in charge at the time... I think Jack was still around actually. Anyhow, Jack was considering legal action at that point. He said something about harassment charges, and we never heard from the kid again. Speaking of people we never heard from again, whatever happened to Jdog?
Search me. I don't think he comes around here anymore.
Yeah, that was my question. He was one of my best friends at one point...
And what? Was the Postman like the Ultimate Troll?
Jdog sends me spam over AIM sometimes.
I haven't been on AIM for quite some time, though, and not long ago I think I finally removed my phone as my mobile device. (Too hard to actually use on my phone, plus I always get messages when I'm not there to answer them.)
You know who I miss dearly? Commodore. ;_;

ZV agrees with this. Someone needs to get his attention.
I would if I knew how... D:

Haha. I actually know how to get a hold of him! He goes to school with JQ. I can tell him to relay the message. =]
And woah. I just realized I've had an account for five years and some change. I remember talking to ZV and Pea-Tear-Griffin while I was in class in high school.
I'm pretty sure that Commodore is no longer enrolled at the university.
Hmm. Quite possible. I haven't talked to him in a while. I shall find out.

Yep! I still think about that as some of TDC's golden years. It seemed like the thing was livelier. Pea-tear is still around here too. I think he posted earlier in this thread. :D
I am indeed still around :D just a bunch of stuff is tying up me posting... Life and whatnot

That happens every once in a while.
Indeed, plus it's not like it's the first time I've gone missing from the forms :D But I return to see what's happening still
I got really nostalgic about Courage the Cowardly Dog the other day. My friend and I were playing magic, and I blocked one of his tanks with my little guy, and he was like, "KILL IT. KILL IT DEAD!" To which I replied with a quote from one of the Duck Brothers from an early episode of Courage: "Stop tellin' me what to doo!" lol. Remember the ducks? They conversations would go:
"I told you to stop layin' eggs!"
"Stop tellin' me what to do!"
"I'm just sayin', we're duck brothers. We shouldn't lay eggs!!"
"Eggs eggs eggs eggs! Stop tellin' me what do!!"
We got to discussing more episodes, and I quickly remembered why Courage the Cowardly Dog was and is one of my favorite cartoons ever.
Just remember: It's Doc Gerbil's world.
ZV don't worry, It's nothing to worry about. Nothing at all :D
