We've discussed the people of TPM's past. (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16630)
Now, I thought it might be fun for us to pour some drinks, gather 'round the campfire and reminisce about some fun TPM memories we've had. 'cause there have been a few, I would imagine. ;)

So tell me, are any of y'all old enough to remember the shipping forum? Ahh yes, quite an infamous little place for people to discuss the love relationships between anime characters (just from Pokemon or all animes? Don't recall, think it was the former). One particular memory that comes to mind is the one that led to the forum's demise; the shipping prom scandal.
Alright, so it wasn't really a 'scandal', but I call it that because that makes it more interesting. Essentially, it was 97 pages of RPing, only without the plot, character development or elaborate posts. To paraphrase, it was...

#1: 'I take #2's hand and ask her to dance'
#2: *giggle* 'I accept #1's offer and step onto the dance floor'

To the best of my recollection, the powers that be stepped in (think it was LP who closed the topic?), and the shipping enthusiasts got uppity 'bout it. It culminated in the removal of the entire forum, and most of the members involved disbanded not long after. Anyone remember the name Archaic?
This might not seem like much these days, but you have to recall, back then there were loads of active users, and a lot of them all kinda stuck to their forum of choice; I was an RPG man back then, and whenever I'd visit the Fanfic forum, there would be so many members who I'd never heard of before. So the concept that one of those forums would be removed outright was kind of like exiling an entire section of people. Exciting stuff.

Anyone else have any amusing TPM memories to discuss?

I do remember the Shipping Forum but to be honest I think I only posted there once or twice as the whole idea of speculating who's in it with whom never interested me one bit. Nor was the roleplaying effect. And when the forum was gone again I didn't more but shrug. Each to his own.

Remember when every other thread was "OMG question" and the topic was "Can _____ breed with _______ OMG I JUST HAVE 2 KNO!"

And how... I think it was Alex... would just answer "Yes" or "No" and close the thread... I always appreciated that

Well, I remember Captain Pringle's infamous fic, The Crystal League I believe, which was closed in one of its earlier incarnations by Damian SilverBlade I think, for being over 1000 pages, with much less fic chapters than spammic chitchatter.
A shame, really, considering the fic was really great. Ah well, he finished it eventually.

How ironic I've come to know since then of a thread on some other Pokémon Board which shall not be named here. This thread is called "Last poster wins!", is supposedly a game, and the point merely is to spam, and claim the title of last poster on the thread... until someone else posts, that is. And yes, it's passed the cape of 1000 pages a whole while back.

Well, if Chris would just make a spam forum where post count isn't used, then I would make such a topic, Mike.

Was the Shipping Forum put under the Anime umbrella at some stage? I used to frequent Anime before Fanfic, and I remember a lot of people getting really shitty back then about the Shipping Forum being closed, or merged with Anime ... or something vaguely like that. Didn't Archaic flee to Bulbagarden in the end?

I think the Shipping Forum was probably the lowest point of TPM history.

I remember when there were only a handful of RPers and we had to make 'Interactive Stories' in the Fanfic forum before we got our very own forum. That was pretty awesome.

Yeah, I remember the Shipping forum and its close. Bit of a shame, actually; it was one of the sections I really frequented as well as the reason I got into Fanfic. Archaic left shortly after, finding the PA forum inadequate for his (Un)Official List of Shippers thread. I never did see the infamous "prom" thread, but from what I've heard it was mostly a few bad apples.

One of my favorite memories, though, is of the Fanfic mod contest. That was loads of fun, even if I did lose (deservedly so). I actually think the best thing about it was that it sort of taught what makes a good mod, which is something that's harder to learn when you're just promoted straight to a position based on behavior as a member. Besides, it was entertaining for everyone, both participants and onlookers. (It wouldn't completely surprise me if people had gambled on it, hehe.)

Even I remember one of Archaic's replies. It was one of those 'What girl in Pokémon do you like?' - threads. Someone said Misty was too tomboyish to be cute and Archaic responded to that sounding angry, talking about stakes. I liked that back there, as I was a big Misty fan, and my immature comment was 'Let's hope he gets lost in a thick fog!'.

lol, I still find it amusing that I progressed further than you did, but one of us holds a mod position (also deservedly so) while the other does not (also also deservedly so). I would probably have been a pain to organise things with, since I had to work with my crappy old computer back then.

Hey, here's another memory... The time fp made a topic stating that in a topic for TPM's anniversary (third? fourth? don't remember), he felt that nobody who joined after the forum's launch date should be allowed to post. I agreed at the time (rambling off some incredibly asinine post that I deleted soon after posting), though in retrospect it would have made for a very short topic.

OK lets see

When General Discussion was also the misc forum which seems so wierd now, but thats what it use to be like and I remember Magmar being modded in GD and then the misc mod elections, I came in second but TCS was way out in front. It was like a bloody presidential campaign. We'd all post a topic saying why we should be mod, it was bloody shocking. Thats how Magmar came to mod GD now that I think about it.

I remember priior to us Misc mods I told PMM off because she said how Butterfree actually died in the episode Bye Bye Butterfree.

I remember having the mosts, there was another person in the g/s/ forums that also had a lot of posts. If I had only one account hell it'd be prolly at least 4th or 5th place now. Oh well. I remember being snipey towards Madelyn151 (I think thats it) when she had the best movesets for all the rby pokemon, and of course she got modded. She was nice I thought.

I remember posting in misc asking why we weren't allowed in Teammeeting. That was fun.

Then I remember the bitch fight Too Cool Scyther and The Real Slim Shady? (I think perhaps he had a different name at the start but anyway he came from UPN). I was so pathetic and posted a topic threatening to quit like an idiot. God what was I thinking. I also remember how I'd fix people's grammar and spelling (I could at one stage write properly).

I remember the fanfic forums and of course pokemasters chat. Being made a fanfic rater that was fun although some of the stories people sent in and you got so many at a time that it got so annoying. And then of course becoming an aop at #pokemasters HJG wasn't happy about it but he got aopped and then I got deopped but then got opped again.

I remember TCS getting demodded but can't remember if that was before or after I left for three months. And why did I leave for three months? Because some loser hacked into our internet account and was using our internet so we were paying for it. It came to about 200 dollars and dad was being a prick and got rid of it. I remember crying for like five hours god he was shitty. so I said my mum was in hospital and then said she died. LOL and I remember the 10 things you should never do. People were like shocked but I didn't see what the big deal was. It was a bunch of shit but nevermind.

Then I remember when dad got the internet back on and things were crazy. Reeb, HG and The Real Slim Shady (I wish I knew his original name), TCS etc were all upset at Dodrio and I remember PokeChamp replacing TCS in the misc mod and remember how Lugia007, Trinity, Charlie_Whalley (Modded GD) all came to prominent. And I remember having wars with Dodrio and then he'd ban me or something but Kevin would keep reinstating me.

And then of course I couldn't stop lying so made some real bullshit and then I couldn't get to sleep one day so in bed though about making a post saying my dad had died. Of course everyone knew it to be lies but I still maintained that my mum was dead and of course I revealed I was gay. (Which if that is the case then I wasn't opped till after this cause I got opped by Ninetales who was like my online bf we got married and shit but then so did everybody.

And I remember coming back with all these ideas of rules and things. This was early on and Kevin was originally going to have super mods but the upgrade went to the walls and people got their accounts deleted. I of course got banned by Dodrio that day.

And then this god preacher Asher Ketchum All decided to post a poll about star signs which had been posted like so many times so I closed it and he got all upset so I made a big drama about quitting and so Dodrio removed me and finally he learnt about the delete button (I think he must have been kinda thick not to realise earlier but oh well). And then that same day, he, Lugia007 (now Kainashi) and Trinity and Cw and stuff would harass me on MS Messenger. And they did it all the time. I miss my ms messenger account they were fun.

And of course Dodrio and I would fight over tpm and he'd delete me constantly so I came up with new accounts such as crazefire, fire destiny, flying destiny and so on. And then the dipshit Dodrio posted at Poke Adobe (I think that was Karma Chameleon's site, no it cant be it was something anyway some cheap ass attempt at a g/s/c azure heights. poke adobe was like the second message board after upn when we had that stupid anti-spam alliance that achieved zilch) with the same password as he had at tpm, so KC hacked into tpm causing all sorts of problems (There we go again Dodrio wasn't bright).

And then soon thereafter after I had gotten sick of going to war with Dodrio he quite and PC became admin. So of course I just had to start wars with PC but my mind starts to get very flakey.

I remember he banned me a few times but I just evaded it, its not hard or anything and you never had admins approving posters like they had at one stage (is that still the case???). And people would think I was talented when really all I did was use search engines.

And I remember HG and Lugia007 becoming admins and then of course LP came to prominence. People thought she was the bomb I just thought she was stupid. But like I said my mind gets really flakey. I do remember being remodded at misc for a while but the other people didn't like me and I remember being modded in the Other anime forum (why I do not know). Well that is just crazy but see I'm getting my facts really wrong around this time so I might just release some highlights.

The six page topic of how much a spammer Ash_300 was. I think it was for 10, 000 posts. I remember somehow coming up with I had just as many with all my various accounts. In fact you can still get that on the web archive site.

I remember the spam forum I like bitched about it because it was so moronic funnily enough I was a palletshipper, pokeshipper and rocketshipper (they were good times). But that really was just pages of spam. We'd have like spam new years party threads but at least they were simple and not overdone.

But I do remember doing the spamming topics, various people at pbs started them, but I didn't join in till a few times after that. That was fun.

And I remember how I like miss every single tpm anniversary (which is also my anniversary) for like the past 3 years. So disappointing. I am so going to remember this year. In fact I remember how excited I was cause Kevin said there was going to be a new feature (which was the msg board) a few days later.

I don't regret the fights I had here at tpm, but I do regret falling out with some members and or losing touch with them (I think I've done it with everyone so I guess its all even)

I also regret the suggestions to create the polls forum. In a way it was necessary because misc was so popular back then and was getting flooded with club posts, polls posts etc.

A few things I am sad about is that RPG and ASB have so lost their way. I was never an Asber and rarely participated in RPG. But the thought of how much work people put into those particularly the creation of ASB here at tpm. At a time when there wasn't an ASB forum is to me a disappointed.

Its also sad that tpm lost its website and at one stage we were on bloody ezboard. such sad times. LOl what about how everyone use to create their own ezboards, that was fun.

I also want to say thanks to all the members (please don't be upset if you're not in this or I've forgotten you but this is really mainly year 2000 posters).

The likes of TCS, PC, HG, Kainashi, Trinity, Dodrio, Reeb, Ishdul, all the early early mods, Charmeleon, CW, Deadwolf, Anidean, The TCG people, The fanfic people, the RPG people, the ASB people, Magmar, Rhydon4, PMM, TTTR, Kasumi aka Misty1 aka Misty72, PokeMaster Ash, GK, PikaTogepi, Silver Clefairy (even though i never liked you), Pidgeot, Charmanduh, NumeroUno, Raichu, Blitzzzzzzzz (how long did it go???), Ginger Cat, Blastoieu, Flying Pidgeot, salvester2, Blastoise_Boy (Blastoise_Boy and Magmar connection lol), Mew26, Letza (I can't figure out your old name), Gengachu, Bill51, PNT, Ash 300, dracox, bulbasaur4, rinni, Kazr, Razor_Leaf, Mr. E, G_P, Heald, Togechikku, RedStarWarrior (Your fucking original name escapes me), Shazza poo and shazza's aussie friends, and I know I've forgotten so many many namesfrom that 2000 period.

Its been wonderful really, we were at a high and now we're low of course I've been saying that since June 2000.

And I miss UBB :(

And I think it sucks we didn't think of properly archiving things and I miss that I lost my old document which had tpm's history and when my memory was super great and could list so many names and so many things.

OK lets see

And then of course becoming an aop at #pokemasters HJG wasn't happy about it but he got aopped and then I got deopped but then got opped again.

I recall going to #pokemasters before I went to the UBB. It took me like 3 months to realise that Flying Destiny and firepokemon were the same person.


So I said my mum was in hospital and then said she died. LOL

Remember the time my mother actually died and I looked for you to comfort due to the fact we were both going through similar circumstances? You jerk, haha.


And I remember HG and Lugia007 becoming admins and then of course LP came to prominence. People thought she was the bomb I just thought she was stupid.

kurai and kainashi became Admins in December 2000 I believe, whilst Suzie in December 2001.


The six page topic of how much a spammer Ash_300 was. I think it was for 10, 000 posts. I remember somehow coming up with I had just as many with all my various accounts. In fact you can still get that on the web archive site.

You used to be able to, lately it's down. We should have saved them, damn it.


But I do remember doing the spamming topics, various people at pbs started them, but I didn't join in till a few times after that. That was fun.

Banned for over two years now and counting!


I also regret the suggestions to create the polls forum. In a way it was necessary because misc was so popular back then and was getting flooded with club posts, polls posts etc.

PCG was your suggestion?


LOl what about how everyone use to create their own ezboards, that was fun.

Shazza's Spooky Slide for the win!


Shazza poo and shazza's aussie friends

Saving the best till last?!


And I miss UBB :(

Same. :(

Nice history post though man; I'm going to go into further detail of my own personal expereinces tomorrow.

1st January 2008, 05:04 PM
Hey, I'm glad someone else remembers Too Cool Scyther! He went on to Uni in Los Angeles, and loves basketball. Don't have much other data on him.

Asher Ketchum All? He became a she, moved around the southwest USA, and is doing quite well. I have her screen name.

Raichu went to University and is now a senior. She's my friend on Facebook. I haven't talked to her, really, in a while, but once in a while we catch up.

Saria hasn't emailed me in about two years since I last emailed her, and we weren't really talking anymore at that point. Last I knew, she was still married to Link, and still planting all sorts of lovely gardens.

Remember the Shadow Rockets? Mwahaha... such a stupid clique we were. But we had some verrryyyyyy interesting RPGs going on...

Modding was like a friggin election back then, that's true, and it was so annoying. Everyone was like OMG let's pick a proper leader! I've always had a way of convincing people with my words (I'm probably gonna turn out to be the antichrist or something). Nevertheless I convinced the people and won at the ripe old age of 13, haha. (Christ, now I'm 21.)

The Magmar and Blastoise Connection HAHAHAHAAHAHA those were the friggin dayyyyysssss. I haven't talked to Nick in a while; he stopped posting around 2005, and we stopped being friends long before that. I think he went by something like... deathscythe1337 or other. He got banned a few times.

One other person who hasn't posted lately is Green Lanturn; I talked to him about a month ago and he's doing okay, really enjoying going to school at Notre Dame.

Ginger Cat peeked in to say hi not too long ago, if I remember right.

The six page topic of how much a spammer Ash_300 was. I think it was for 10, 000 posts. I remember somehow coming up with I had just as many with all my various accounts. In fact you can still get that on the web archive site.

The purpose of that topic was just to announce that I had reached a special number of posts. It was trendy back then to post a topic upon reaching multiples of 1000 posts. It was never my intention to lay claim to having the most posts but then again I was the person that everyone enjoyed taking pot shots at back then. So in retrospect it's not suprising that you decided to take that topic personally and have a go at me.

I remember for my one year topic I made that huge post in which I referred to you as a hypocrite multiple times and you got all annoyed. To be honest, there was no ill feeling behind my comments. At the time while I was working on that post, I was jus typing whatever came to mind and 'hypocrite' just kept coming up.:D

Vejodi
2nd January 2008, 06:41 PM
I remember that topic vividly, a large part of that is due to the fact it was on the archives until last year.

Ash_300: "To be honest, shazza is more of a spammer than I am. But do you insult him about it?"

And indeed, since I posted just for the sake of posting; I didn't read that sentence until about two years later on the archive site. I simply replied congratulating you.

I saw a user by the name of "Blitzx7" at somethingawful a while ago. So assuming that's him, blitzzzzzzz. :)

Venusaur99

World Collision I think?

Come on fp, master historian. I have shit memory and remember those.



As for my own memories, it was more of an ummmm thing, but Knights of Indeed by Jay and Todd I think? I can't remember the name I was given, but I remember I was from something-shireshiresireshire, typo included. :)

I remember Fanart really well, I think I started reading it right around 9/11. There was a lot of pokemon themed patriotic art, some of which was really neat looking. I posted there every day, eventually I had a long constructive-criticizing post in every topic on the first five pages. I wanted to be a mod, but I never mentioned it, thought that if I just posted enough I might get it. Then like 3 years later, after I had "left" tpm, in ummmm, LP said "Oh, [mod] hasn't posted in forever? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things, we need a new one." That was kind of a virtual slap across the face right there. I do miss some of our missing mods though; Ninetails3001, Chikalquil, Meowth_Kitten, hell I think even Lightning got modded eventually? Good times. Iveechan was modded later, and then some furry themed art started to crop up, along with pregnant pokemon. Odd, to say the least.

3rd January 2008, 04:55 AM
In my defence in regards to World Collision aka RedStarWarrior. When he used the name World Collision he was an absolute nutter. LOl I remember when he got modded in Pokemon Stadium and then got demodded. WC and RedStar are imo act and thing totally different to each other even though they're the same people. And hopefully RSW won't mind, I'm sure he won't WC would have though. LOL.

Edit:

World Collision wasn;t your original name, how interesting. Why did you go to WC then?

3rd January 2008, 07:04 AM
Given I wasn't around until '03, I'm shocked that I remember a lot of the stuff mentioned.

The Pirates of Misc. back in early '05, anybody? There were a lot of threads derailed and pillaged by Heald, Tainted, fat man with a monkey, TMM, and probably a larger assortment in that small amount of time that even Suzie had to step in order for the mess to stop. That was also back when Misc. had 4 or so mods including RSW and Kris.

Around the time when Soo and Ade were engaged. I think some time in '06 they posted the thread stating that they were finally married, and we haven't seen too much from either since then.

We were actually the Misc Marauders, and it was Raz, fmwam, TMM, Tainted and myself.

Let's see...Raz posts like, once per year, fmwam has gone awol, TMM was banned, Tainted got cancer, so that just leaves me, and marauding by yourself is phailure, and I don't do phailure.

I remember you went by Raven Adonis for a while, but I think that was after your WC days.

I remember when we were allowed to change our usernames on a whim, and I changed mine pretty much every week just to piss people off.

Then the feature got disabled and I ended up having some retarded name that I had to waste my one-shot 'change your username' feature to change back.

RedStarWarrior
3rd January 2008, 08:43 AM
It is never 'one shot' if you ask Chris nicely. :D

Anyway, yeah, Heald, you are a badass motherfucker. I wouldn't even try to get you banned if you went marauding.

Toxicity
3rd January 2008, 01:19 PM
Heald, I'd help you in your marauding so it's not a total phail.

Also, RSW wins for the personal title.

Heald
3rd January 2008, 01:27 PM
RSW, you should change your sig so it says 'The most awesome guy on the firearm'.

Because that is what I keep reading.

RedStarWarrior
3rd January 2008, 01:33 PM
Yeah, well, I would, but I was given this to put in my sig and if I change it, they might lynch me.

Hell, I'd help in the marauding also.

Heald
3rd January 2008, 01:36 PM
A mod marauding his own forum, which has about 3 posts a day nowadays anyway, is a far cry from real marauding.

RedStarWarrior
3rd January 2008, 01:37 PM
Well...go get some friends to help you.

Also, I'm not the best at math, but I count more than three posts in the past couple of minutes, let alone the whole day.

Heald
3rd January 2008, 01:39 PM
True, but I'm only counting worthwhile posts.

And by worthwhile posts, I mean my posts.

Which reminds me, it was HealdPK at one point, right? Often wondered, what's the PK for? Mother reference? Oh and I remember the time you had a Peppy avatar. That was the mutt's nuts.

I miss seeing gimmick accounts, like how knuckles would always refer to himself in the third person... It was pretty sad when there was a topic supposedly by his brother stating he had passed away, and very few actually believed it, demanding evidence be given. I've often wondered whether or not he really has passed away. :(

Toxicity
3rd January 2008, 07:45 PM
Bjarni and Paperclip were my favorite gimmicks.

Oh, Heald has always been one to amuse us with avatars and sigs, though. I remember his "Nothing at all!" avatar/title combo that I never got to respond to with "Stupid sexy Flanders." And I think he flaunted the Asschin Jesus I posted for him in an image for the person above you game, although he cut it short with Christmas.

I still miss the threads that were supposed to be for a serious topic, but only resulted in nearly 1,000-post flame fests within a matter of days. While some people have been aiming to revive the glory, they haven't had much other than epic failure.

PK was a reference to an old clan I was in. The clan was old in 2000, so I decided to drop PK altogether in 2005. I also went by 'Jamaican Gecko' and 'Fallen Angel' during the time we could change our names, since those were usernames I went by at other forums.

I think my favourite sigs were when LP was banning all the funny people left right and centre so I knocked up a couple of Kill Bill parody posters called Kill TPM, one for each volume, as LP was literally killing TPM by banning all the funny people.

Well Suzie is the only Resident signature police around. And that is her job.

As far as I could remember, one of your signature was actually stepping on the fine line of decency. It had pictures of women wearing in their undies, being intimate with each other.

But that is pretty sensitive, IMO.

That wasn't me. I'm not into that art nonsense. I assume you're referring to 'Kiss' by Tanya Chalkin:

Yeah, the Kiss is generally overused by tools who think they're edgy or artsy by having a copy of this. But I never used it.

I never had a problem with LP being the sig police (the sigs I got told off for were usually quite blatantly inappropriate when there was still a belief that anyone under the age of 14 still visits these boards), in fact, it was usually W-P-M who had a problem with my sigs (in his opinion, anything that wasn't a Blastoise was probably against his skewed view of decency). It was more the fact she banned people like TMM and Tainted, even though at the time they were 2 of the only awesome people left on TPM.

Yeah, it's something that I realised a little while ago; TPM members are always giddy to reminisce over the forum's heyday. It's kind of like a reunion of sorts; old codgers like us all coming back to look back at the old days, possibly ponder where people are now, all that sort of thing.
I was thinking of making a topic where people could quote their favourite actual posts of all time, but decided that's going a bit far.

And hey, now that I'm thinking on it, I too miss the better days of RPG. Even if having a lot of members meant a couple scrub RP'ers who had no clue what they were doing, they'd just be slotted into the role of supporting character, while the better people played the leads (I should know, I was those supporting characters. lol)

Some memories, I remember when firepokemon posted a topic named something like 'Truth about firepokemon'. And some topics by him/you I found very amusing, one about 'average TPM poster' and such.

I remember a really good General Discussion topic, too, not by firepokemon, though, heh. It was about making fake Game Boy cheats and it soooo looooong. I used to have it on a disc (or was it one of those periods when I had Internet at home, I highly doubt) and I also considered printitng it. But I can't find the disc anymore (heck, I think I NEVER had Internet at home after joining TPM, I always used it at school and in libraries)!

Anyway, now all that's left of that topic is this notepaper:

Sorovis and Checkmate were the two Bible-bashing freaks, and it turned out that Checkmate was Sorovis' sock-puppet (which he continuously denied ad nauseam).

You might be thinking about TheRustedOne, or TRO, who would always have to get the last word in. He probably actually typed more characters in his debating career on TPM than the html code of the entire Internet.

Oh, and a question:

No, I just went and checked. The Bible-thumper was AbareMax. Sorovis/Checkmate at least presented some form of argument in their posts; Max was pure thumper. Everyone of his posts was a condescending pile of divine shit like "Yea, my son, you've just presented an articulate argument supporting your heretic ideals. But thou can still read the Bible and walk in His light. Amen."

As for the 'last word in' guy, THAT was Sorovis. He got a size-100 text "FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR IMAGINARY DIETY WILL YOU LET THIS FUCKING TOPIC DIE ALREADY!?!?!?" from either TRO or TMM and a punch in the face from Leon-IH. Shame I missed it...

Heh, credit me for managing to prove that after having them around for a year. Granted they did have a very different posting style, but after they Checkmate made some post and deleted it followed by Sorovis making the same post, it was quite suspicious, though their excuse was that they were friends IRL. Yeah, right, one claims to live in Colorado and the other in Montana... seriously people need to pay attention to the info they put in their profiles before thinking of a valid excuse.

Also I'm a little late with this one but the biggest wap on TPM is definately EVme. Animelee and Hanada Tattsu are as well, but they're just Pokemon junkies. Using Japanese names is a start, but can't go as low as the former.

That one is a given, Magmar. If memory serves me right, it has to be the club that is opened by a kiddo. I cannot remember his exact name, it should be close to 'Mollyhaleismyfriend' or something like this.

I do also remember trying to stop myself from bursting out with laughter in front of my laptop when Gabi approves his club. I mean the club is likely to attract loli- cons.

Heh heh... the funny thing is, at Serebii there are clubs like that which actually go on and are taken seriously. My guess is one of those kids without thinking attempted it in an atmosphere such as this one.

Only because even before Mr. Bikini fan or Mollyhaleismyfriend joined TPM I remember their names already looked familiar i.e. from SPPf or BMGf. Seriously I also remember thinking to myself "oh shit, they're actually gonna try this here, this should be good". And, well... couldn't have been better.

EDIT: And stupidest poll ever was probably "favorite punctuation mark" probably made by someone trying to be funny and miserably failing. Same could be said for many of the polls of a certain individual who would always post retarded polls trying to flaunt off "LOOK AT ME I'M ORIGINAL LOL"

Holy shit that page's mod/member list brings back a lot of memories. Clicky Pen, Dean, Metallix, Vineon, Reeb (was a girl?!)... completely forgot half of these people ever existed. Did Gligar_Man ever come back after signing up for the Marines? Where the hell did Simon/GreenShirT go?

Also, it's fanart part is wrong. B4 was certainly a mod, and I'm almost positive onix11 was too, though I don't think I was a member at the time. I just remember his name on every piece of fanart in the main site's fanart section. Also, was Ashley/ea ever a mod? Is she still around? Holy crap I forgot about Espreon too. Hmmm.


Aww I like this site, it gives me nostalgic warm fuzzies.

We've been getting this question a lot... because of some security issues awhile back, TPM has banned several E-mail domains. I believe that Gmail and Hotmail were among them (although I've been mistaken before about which ones are banned).

You'll first need to change the E-mail address in your profile. I'm not sure if you'll be able to do it yourself; you might need to ask Chris for administrative help. If you have a school E-mail or something that you can't just register for free and anonymously, that would work just fine. Alternatively, Chris can probably register you on his domain if you ask him via PM.

Ah, right! That's it. Thanks, I couldn't remember the new name.

I don't know what Agent Elrond said, but from your post, it sounds as though it could be interpreted as an innocent "crush" back from before you really knew what a "crush" was. But Alex actually was a zoophile, and freely admitted this. It wasn't like, an innocent childhood crush on a dog... he was sexually attracted to them. He called his neighbour's dog "hot", even. I remember that.

Or Ledian X for being aspergers syndrome's biggest anti-spokesperson.



He had it? Or he spoke against it?

Either way, remind meh.

Well Ledian X was a prime example of how not to behave on the internet if you have aspergers.

His anal retentive attitude and blah blah blah.

This attitude gives him the prime anti-posterboy look of aspergers syndrome.

I've yet to hear about his interaction with other self-dubbed "Aspies" from SPPf. But then again, he does seem to lurk in their FanFiction section more than elsewhere...

Speaking of SPPf, remember the really active thread we used to have just to discuss how retarded their main users were? Something along the lines of "greatest site," if memory serves me right.

Andrew
4th February 2008, 08:54 PM
Or, The Most Awful Forums thread?

Tox - You did know he was a mod here, for a while in Misc. He left in a hissy fit with BBP and some other guys to go to Bulbagarden, but then pretty much defected to SPP because nothing says cool like being the boss of a Pokemon forum at 28.... and not having anything else in your life.

4th February 2008, 08:59 PM
Yeah. That would be it; well, the thread title, at least.

Although I don't think I recall the whole moderating drama. Probably happened during one of the patches where I wasn't exactly active, or long before I even joined.

Either way, it still seems pretty accurate.

Heh, that's a good point, for some reason I never considered that. He really was a major liability everywhere on the internet... he pretty much pulled the same crap over at SPP and BMG.

Ah yes, the digimasters.

Oh, and all the Big Brother stuff in PCG, can't forget that.

BTW Andy did you change your AIM, or have you just not been on? Haven't seen you since like exactly a year ago.

Remember how annoying Knuckles was with his retarded 3rd person shit.
Ahh, Knuckles... That's one thing I miss from the old days, gimmick accounts! Back when people pretended to actually be Pokemon, or the everlasting bjarni gimmick, or people like Knuckles, who spoke in the third person... I actually feel pretty bad thinking about Knuckles now, since I can't be too sure whether or not he's still alive... What was the general consensus on that one?


Cool Daddy 47
I remember when I made my one-year topic summarising my whole TPM history with a couple of polls tacked on (I worked on that post for like a week), the first reply someone had made said 'I foresee a lot of interesting replies from this topic... :)' and in the very next reply, cool daddy closed the thread, saying the polls weren't good enough. Then a year later, he went into idiot mode. It's amazing how someone can go from anal retentive mod to generic lulzbot in just the course of a year.

btw, I miss TMM. I always liked him, though I admit I was never privy to all the stuff that happened behind the scenes.

Agreed, I kinda miss people like Knuckles or Bjarni who would treat the entire Internet as a joke. We're too damn serious now on the whole. :(

I miss the likes of Lawrence_III_Fanatic whose name was synominous with yellow socks, and With Rye who was the master of asking bizarre questions.

lol it's AntiAsh back now. Someone oughta make a list of all the cool people I've brought back with my topics (or rather, a list of people who happened to be lurking and then returned, inconsequential of my topics).

Alright then kiddies, since things seemed to have died down a whole lot, let me pose a wee little question to y'all; when have you gotten the most angry due to TPM?

That's bound to open up at least one bleeding heart to the harsh life of Pokemon forum goer (sounds interesting to me right now, though I must confess I've been into the wine).
For my sweet self, it is of course the possibly obscure rage I went into when Minty Thrill wasn't getting any replies back in 2004. Never mind the fact the viewcount was massive and there were definitely people reading, I cracked a hissy fit just because nobody replied for three whole chapters, and then went on a great big whinefest as the 'final post', timed perfectly so that Andrew would close it immediately afterwards, simply so that I could have the last word. It's remarkable what you'll do when you're a whiny little twerp who needs gratification, eh?

Oh yeah, I also got pretty angry when I entered the WPM hate club, after debating with him about something I really didn't give a rat's about, as he was being a complete and utter tool about it. Seriously, he was like a three year old, it was sad.

Dragoknight: I remember that! I saw your hissy fit and thought, 'god TPM needs more readers'. Because I seem to remember everything you said was reasonable considering the state of TPM, and I thought we ought to do something about it, as we always think. And I think I also thought 'please have no one follow suit' and 'please have no one start a flame war' :P

My most angry memory would be when someone was a hair away from flaming me over winning the mod contest. Actually, I was more pissed off that I had to explain myself, and that I had to be perfectly nice to him when I could have descended to his level and proven his point. On the other hand, one of the best memories I have is of the mod contest. :P

"No offense to shazza but he spams and do you guys care? No because his post count isn't as high as mine."

I so didn't SPAM. Man we were lame.

This statement by FP made me laugh:

You know I have and always will continue to post quality posts. I will admit that last month I posted some very small replies, but I have University Ash_300. I dont have the time to write up whole big topics. I would love to be able to do that, but I cant, I can for this week coming, but I cant unless its the weekends, because I dont have the time. I am online a lot yes. But I am constantly doing homework. You have no idea how much work I really have to do. You dont realise the stressful nights I have staying up till 1am doing my homework. When I have to get up at 6am to leave at 7am for university. You really dont have any idea, how much work I actually do. I am constantly doing essays and paragraphs, and assignments for my damn homework. The week before my holidays. I had 12 essays to do in that week. Six had to be 5000+, one 10 000 posts. Two 1000 words. One 2000 words and two 2500 posts. OK and that takes me a ****ing long time. So you can honestly shut up.

Rofl. Was that when you used to lie saying you were at Uni when in reality you were doing nothing? And I seriously doubt any university would give you 12 essays to do in a week.

Oh and who agrees to put this picture back up in Misc:

TPM is dead and most (sensible) people have moved on. We all know the reason behind why TPM died, yet nobody wants to admit it, and that was banning the only members who brought amass zeal to this place. Shazza was included among them, yet he returned too late and now he's turned into a scrub.

SPPf's Misc forum is 10x more exciting than this dump. A bit sad, isn't it?

Jay? As in Jay Jay, the guy that used to be a famous Goldenrod Tower worker in AC/CC? No offence here, but I thought I saw the last of you, some people that leave are too easy to move on from, heck, I still go there from time to time, but wishing I was a worker there again...no way jose, there's more to being a worker in a game, PCG or AC/CC if you do other things in real life or on the computer...that's one of the reasons I left Pokemon Hangman behind, but not the biggest reason. A major crash made me lose track of what plushies I won, and I eventually decided playing the game was no longer worth it, I mean, I used to be called a "hair trigger" due to my speedy side in the game, so I guess that's one of my best memories of TPM's past. Times definitely have been changing here.
