Do you remember?

[Cress]

I find it kinda funny that I've been around for at least as long as most of the people who are "remembering", but I don't remember any of this. Hehe. I guess I was on hiatus again, seeing as I have a tendency to go away for a few months at a time and then show up again. You can never get rid of me!!!!!

[sharklord]

*rolleyes* I, on the other hand, had managed to forget that I was a "pink" shark. I would like to remind everyone that I am, in fact, a human...with sharkish tendencies.

...

Hey, Alla...are you bleeding? You seem to be in...distresssss...

...

*cough* anyway...Does anyone remember the other generations of chat? or back when we were changing over systems and we had not one but _2_ chatrooms...and when DD would come and do a chat with us she was nice enough to be in both for people who couldn't get into one or the other...

*snicker* Ah, Fred, you missed out on an era...(as dad says...though I'm not named Fred) You wouldn't remember, then, the days when PM was nothing than an old guy who lives in his parent's basement reading YW books, before he was an old guy who lives in his parent's basement reading YW books...with power.

Yeesh, I'm awful...I can't see how I haven't been thrown out of this place yet...

Which brings up the question: How on earth does everyone seem to know me? Like when I came back once a while ago and stepped into chat all the new people knew who I was! It was kinda eerie...You folks haven't been spreading false rumors about me again, have you?

Remember folks: I am sane. Here's proof:

~You'd have to be insane to call me insane.
~Sane people call me sane.
~You all admit that you are insane, which is a sane thing to do, which means you actually call me sane.
~Therefore: The sky is blue on Mondays.

Oh, btw, it's occurring to me that we're all older now!! How odd...18 now, and the people I knew from the beginning are like what, three years older?

(*quietly shudders that almost everyone is younger in forum time than he is*...PM's only 3 weeks or so older than meeee)

Geeze, you're all decrepit.

*snicker*

--Foundations? Nita, Fox, and I take credit for this one...if you go back in the archives, you'll find the STTF. Do you remember what that stood for, and if so, do you remember what it was a refrence too??

God I remember! The great old days when we all seamed to have more time on our hands and could come on when we wanted! I've been sooo busy but I've always wanted to come back . The forum was different back then too, more homely and everyone seemed to have close friendships! and now I've become one of thoes bloggers that can only get on now and again and becuase they are so out of it they find it hard to write something STTF RULES!

Sharky, your as old as PM? I thought you were in your 20's. Hmmm. I Must be in denial. YEA, i remember talking to sharky about shows that had "Jumped the Shark" and stuff. That was the first ttime I met our infamous friend. I remember calling gryphon a skitty not knowing what it would do and being surprised that she got all mad. I remember when Gryphon yelled at me on my first day because I posted so short of posts, like 2 words. And then I got defensive lol. Ahhh the good ol' noob days, though I have not posted as much, i still read alot of things... Anyways, c ya!

[wildflower]

Diego vs. Childish was in chat? Oh, okay, that explains why I don't remember it. I don't remember most of the chat injokes from when I was new, plus I didn't even go into Chime until a few months after I'd joined.

Wasn't it PM more than Kathy who was a threat to togr? I know PM's made more jokes about it.

I remember Tel. I don't remember talking to her in chat, or not very much, but I remember togr posts and the TWoD's themesong.

Ahh, the phantom avies... XD

Azen, I think you have the same problem as Cress- you were a member for this, but you missed it because of being somewhere else. You joined a year before me.

Hehehe, hotpink Sharky. I'd forgotten about that too.

I remember Chime (confusing for the newbies who know Cedric as Chime), but I wasn't here for Sigma.

Speaking of being thrown out, I think most people in this topic remember VCLS. I wish VC would come back, though...

You're <STRIKE>in</STRIKE>famous, Sharky!

So Sharky is sane because the sky is blue on Monday? Or the sky is blue on Monday because Sharky is sane? What happens if it rains on Monday and the sky is gray? Does Sharky control the weather? Or is he just delusional, which would come as a surprise to absolutely no one?

Don't let Rysade hear you say you're older than everyone else! *snicker*

Sharky means he's as old as PM in forum-time: join dates. He's only 18 in real life.

I blame Gryphon. She pointed out a content-less topic in the TOGR forum, where No Other Topic Is Allowed, and I deleted it (just after being made a mod). Then she got all paranoid about how easy it had been to delete a topic in the TOGR forum... I told her it takes five whole clicks to delete a topic, but that girl just won't be reassured.

Ahh, the phantom avies... XD

And the Santa hats.

Hehehe, hotpink Sharky. I'd forgotten about that too.

He was furry, too. That's how the castle for Dwin and Eowen's wedding came to be redone in hotpink fur fabric.

Yes . We liked her.

Oh, why not?

Aw, I was going to say that, or something similar.

[A Traveller with Magic]

I guess I joined just in time to know the last of it...when Chime was still java-based and ghostied people...I think the record was 17 times in a row...the campout when the chat software was changed...when I got my own little section of VGDawn to rule (ngahahaha)...when Gryphon/Skitten ate my brains...when wf44 had her Invisible Scythe of Doom...being introduced to POV raytracing by PM (and ultimately doomed to try to find a way to use POV in as many school projects as possible)...I've only heard the stories about you, Sharky, but I'm afraid the evidence is against you. Oooh, and jellyfish! Who wouldn't want a plate of jellyfish appetizer? *sigh*

[fred22]

LOL< I remember PM gave my Avy a santa hat! Im glad that I wasnt completly wrong about Sharky's age. I was thinking of changing fred22 to Azen but im too late now, besides now when ever anyone calls me azen all the newer members get confuzed lol. I know im confuzed when monkey changes her name so often.

[Rad]

I remember EVERYTHING you guys have mentioned so far. I remember Sigmachat, and how there were sounds. I remember the old chime and how it ghosted people and had a lot of smilies. I remember that I didn't like Cedric at first XD
Ahahahahahahhahahaha

Some random comments:
ROTFL @ Sharky for ending Alla's distress

Alla: I remember Tel quite well, and I actually talked to her the other day. She's not doing too well right now though...I'll tell you about it next time I see you online

Who remembers when Gryph used to sing Evanescence and Linkin Park in Chime a lot?

Who remembers jen26? (am I like the only one? I still talk to her.)

Who remembers when I joined? :P (I was only _17_!)

Who remembers Wizards Abroad, and WorldGatingTeamMember (the one who started it)? (I had copied out some of those posts, if anyone wants to see them...the site's gone now, so yeah)

I can't think of anything else to add at the moment.

[bluesalamanders]

I'm like TWM - I've been here long enough to remember a few of these things, like old-style Chime with all the ghosts and all the annoying smilies (so sue me, I never liked them much ), and the change to the new software, which caused a lot of people to freak out. It has problems, sure, but at least they're different problems from the old one (that's the definition of upgrade, isn't it? take out the old bugs and put in new ones...?).

Rad - I do remember Gryph singing Evanescence and Linkin Park in Chime. And yelling at people if they said they didn't like Linkin Park *cough*

Blue~

[Angel_Star]

I also remember the cause of my nickname "Angel Brains"... *glowers*

I was so little when I joined! *awws* Okay, so not _that_ much littler...but whatever.

Sharky, you're crazy. If you talk to _us_, you're crazy. Harumph.

I never phantomized or santa-fied my avies. I was much too lazy. Still am, in fact.

I was ghostified a lot in the old chat. Hmph. And then came the Great Silence, when AS (I, me, the Queen of Nonsensical, the wondrous person that I am in all her insane wonder) dissappeared from chat. My computer hated me at that time.

[Gryphon]

It wasn't just linkin park! And, for the record, if you don't like linkin park, you suck (unless you're a cool person).

The entire reason I changed my username at all was because of the Wizards Abroad rp.

[Not So Silent One]

Wow, reading this makes me wonder, why in the world did I join these forums???? I might lose my sanity by the end of it.... I know about the tumbleweed and of course the amazing funfun thing..... But man....Hey, wait, I already am insane!

I can't wait 'till I can say 'remember when' I mean, this place must have a ton of 'history'.... I love this place *hugs one and all*

[Gigo]

*sighs* You guys make me feel like a newbie all over again.

And the chain stories! Everybody less than threes the chain stories, of course!

[Slash]

... Me too ... for once I agree with gigo.
I fill all ... newbe ish... *shivers*
