Those were the days... [P]

[shazza]

I was thinking to myself, and I wondered what are the peoples memorable moments on TPM, and real life.

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?

6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?

7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?


Yep, 7 simple questions, but, some of us have been at TPM For along time, and, there could be some choices...

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?
-Well, I dunno, there have been some funny things here at TPM, especially in 2000 and 2001. But I guess I would have to say when KC hacked TPM late 2000 and people especially Ash_300 were complaining about posts.

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
-Probablly Kasumi saying he was a guy.

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
-Probably when The Muffin Man had to be forced to quit as a mod, poor Muffin Man :(

4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
-TPM getting hacked by KC.

5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?
-Probably being modded after trying so hard, haha.

6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?
-Going to the EzBoard.

7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?
Lets see...
-Spamming, such as posting in G/S that there is a #252 pokemon, which I made up, haha, also asking for Ash_300's ICQ.
-Having an argument in OPG (Other Pokemon Games) with vidgamer in 2000, and then forgiving him and says I put him on my cool peoples list (haha they rocked).
-When I was modded, competing with vidgamer to be the better mod.

How about you?

[Silver Ledian]

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?
I can't really think of anything for this one. A lot of funny stuff has happened but I honestly can't remember any.

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
Perhaps the fact that I actually posted in the RBY/GS forums when I first joined. I think I rated a lot of teams and yet I didn't know half as much as a lot of other people. I guess also on April Fools when TPM was hacked and it went disco-style i.e. bright pink, orange and green.

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
Probably giving up my mod spot.

4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
I'd probably say the UBB going down and transferring to Ezboard. That was quite surprising...

5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?
Getting modded for definate. 15th December 2001. Only 8 months after I joined :)

6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?
Messing around with my name. Not being able to go on as much because of GCSE work. Giving up my mod spot. Arguing with certain members in the past.

7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?
Getting modded...God I'm being a bit repetitive with this poll. I've had a lot more experiences, I guess modding was just the biggest one, hehe.

[Zak]

1. Let's see... Bjarni, Umbreon88 and getting owned by post count, some of Ash_300's topics (no offense man, your cool now), the shazza clone army... and the Kasumi topic. I'm sure there's more, but I named what I could think of. Oh, also Knuckles faking his death was pretty funny, in a stupid way.

2. Co1 getting hacked.

3. Hmm... Probably when Aglandiir quit, same with Hitmonlee and Kasumi.

4. Getting modded. Well, it was coming, just it was so sudden and felt weird at first, but I was happy.

5. Getting Super modded, probably.

6. Probably when I goofed up in AD as a newbie when I posted with a topic title "Charizard Returns! *Spoilers*" Everyone flamed and laughed at me, lol, it was funny though. At least people were happy about it happening, and I was the first to post it :D
Also, another would be the whole BigBrother2 incident.

7. As I said, getting Super-modded, and probably when people started noticing me in AD more. Also, when I met Kayla IRL ^^

~Zak

[Pichu]

1) Bjarni. =P

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

3) Jay left. ;_; Being warned by Dark_Flame =P

4) Pokémaster Kevin in debt. =P

5) err... I forgot. xD

6) Ubb going down.

7) Erm, I still remember Dark_Flame's warning, which makes me mad. =[

[EVme15]

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?
The DigiMasters, hands down. I dunno why, I think it was because of the DRS club back then... that, and I have the most horrible sense of timing when it comes to seeing things. I missed most of the early Bjarni incidents, BTW :rolleyes:

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
*thinks* ... ... ... ... Oh, a bite! It got away... lol, sorry I can't think. Probably the error message I got when half the forum got deleted. It was like: "Topic does not exist. Please return to the main forums and try somewhere else." Or something like that. I was like 'WTF?!?!' yeah... good times, lol.

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
Three things: 1) on the main TPM when we fanfic readers were forced into the UBB. That wasn't that bad, now that I look back on it. 2) When every half hour the board went down for an hour and we were redirected to the chat and/or drawing boards because Kevin was updating the UBB... 3) being forced onto the EZBoard. That takes tops.

4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
A few days ago, Kevin was online :o he didn't post, though.
Actually, I can't really remember that much, aside from the hacks...

5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?
Modded ^^

6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?
Probably getting my post shoved back in my face in FA back when I was doing moving avatar requests... I dun really wanna talk about the details ^^;

7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?
Toughie... prolly (aside from being a mod) getting nominated for "Best RPGer"... --; of course, that turned out wonderful... *sigh* mebbe next year...

[RedStarWarrior]

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?
FPs countless flame threads.
2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
Well, it was off board, but some of the conversations with Kevin were interesting to say the least.
3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
The EZBoard was indeed the saddest point in TPM's lifetime.
4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
The many hackings by KC.
5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?
My several moddings.
6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?
My several demoddings. ;)
7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?
Although it is memorable in a bad way, I would have to say the day Kevin stopped caring.

[Jay Umbreon]

wowzers.

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?
fp's posts. oh yeah, and bjarni (I guess) :P

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
when this guy ages ago (like year 2000) spammed up the GD forum with topics about squirtle :) that was retarded.

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?
all my friends leaving.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

1) What is the funniest thing that you ever witnessed at TPM?

Prolly Bjarni, and the whole DigiMasters thing!!

2) What is the weirdest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

Hmmm... Kasumi saying that he was a guy was pretty weird!!

3) What is the saddest thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

It is sad that a lot of my old friends stopped coming here, and I have lost contact with a lot of them. Also, the UBB going down, and TPM becoming an EZboard was a very sad time.

4) What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed at TPM?

The EZboard was definitely surprising, in a bad way. I was also surprised when I was modded in Gold/Silver Help back on February 17, 2001. I had no idea that it was gonna happen, especially since I was only a member at TPM for 3 months.

5) What is the best moment you ever had at TPM?

Getting modded at Gold/Silver Help. (It wasn't G/S/C help yet, because Crystal wasn't released yet.) Making a lot of friends was also great. I have been friends with Chicoslavocia's Revenge for over 3 years now!!

6) What is the worst moment you ever had at TPM?

The EZboard. Getting demodded was pretty bad too. I deserved it though. I wish I had done a better job of modding.

7) What is the most memorable moment on TPM?

There have been a lot of memorable things on TPM... Registering on TPM is one of them!! I came here on November 6, 2000, and made a post in Gold/Silver Help, because I couldn't find Heracross. I originally had no intentions of staying, I just wanted to find a Heracross!! However, I had never seen a message board quite like TPM, and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided to start posting a couple of days later!! It was also cool making friends here too, like my best bud Chicoslavocia's Revenge!! Getting modded was also memorable, I was totally shocked when I was modded. On February 16, 2001, the last post that I made was congratulating someone that had just become an Elite Trainer. (2500 posts) I remember mentioning in that post that was gonna become an Advanced Trainer (1000 posts) soon, as that was my 972nd post!! I have never been a spammer, or someone who made lousy posts to boost their post count, but still, I enjoyed watching my postcount, especially back in the UBB days, with the PokéBall ranking system under our names. On February 17, 2001, I was modded, but I didn't even notice at first!! I was on the moderator list at the top, and there was a congrats topic for me made by Silver_Espeon, but I didn't even see them at first!! lol ^_^ The last post that I made in G/S Help was somebody asking about where they could find Marill, and I checked the topic to see if they replied to my answer. It was then that I noticed that I was modded. I was thinking about being 28 posts away from becoming an Advanced trainer, and I went to look at the PokéBalls under my username, I was thinking about the fact that with 28 more posts, I was gonna have 4 PokéBalls under my name instead of 3. But when I went to check, I had 8 PokéBalls under my name, and the title "Gym Leader," which meant that I was a moderator. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I was modded after only being at TPM for 3 months!! I had absolutely no idea that it was gonna happen.

Sorry if I sounded obsessive with the Post Count/PokéBall rankings!! But back in the UBB days, post count and the rankings had a lot to do with the respect that you got from veteran members, especially in the G/S forums!! ^_^

Getting demodded on May 15, 2001 was also memorable, not in a happy way though. I was getting pretty inactive, so I deserved it. The reason I became inactive was because I was getting pretty frustrated with the way that things were going, everybody was complaining about the way that the G/S Help forums were going, and it seemed that no matter what I did, somebody was unhappy or complaining. Spammers were all over the place too. Plus, there were a couple of deaths in the family during that time, I had an aunt and an uncle die, so I was going through a lot of stress in real life too. I still wish that I had done a better job as mod though, I feel as though I gave up too quickly, and that I did a bad job, and that I let down the other members and mods.

I also remember the countless times that the UBB crashed, the UBB getting upgraded to 5.0, then downgraded back down to 4.0, and then upgraded back to 5.0, and then when there was a UBB version of TPM and a vB version of TPM running at the same time for a couple of days. I remember the KarmaChameleon hackings, and when TPM became an EZboard in June 2002, and when TPM switched to the vB lain September 2002!!

Well, that is enough rambling from me!! ^_^
