As we are waiting for The PokeMasters Forums amazing 12-year anniversary I decided on a new topic about TPMers. Every single one of us.

So my question is: What are the first memories about each user? What were the posts that left stuck in your mind and that gave you the first impression of each member?

Of course nobody can answer to this question about all of us, but I'm quite sure each of us is at least a bit intertested about the first memory other members had on them.

I'll start with some that come to my mind.

Austrian ViceMaster Alex
When I stated TPM, I could spend hours on General Discussion. It was still so full of life and with AVMA and AntiAsh Superstar as its mods, I do recall some threads from my early days. My first memory about Alex was in late 2001, not so many months from my join date. I was commenting a Pokemon Championship topic (written by another Finn) in Finnish and Alex was the one to point out I should speak English. That's why I have always added a translation to my posts.

Blademaster
A notable TPMer whose first post I remember was one in FanArt, where he praised a Dialga pullover my mother had made.

Dark-San
I remember this guy best from the Ez era. His name was "Nobody messed with Darkyouth" or something and he was the most active poster from that era.

Fett One
Surprisingly, I don't remember him from a GGG post, I actually avoided that forum until 2006, but I do remember him from one single post from the Pokemon Anime active era. Some moderator said "Fett One's correct. Moving." so clearly he had pointed out a topic which had been posted in a wrong forum.

firepokemon
Those were the days! While I stayed out of those threads, I do remember several Misc stuff I read from him.

Gavin Luper
Aside from many posts ending with 'Cheers!' I remember one of his older FanFics: Pokemon Kohtu League! Kohtu is coincidentially the Finnish word for womb.

Heald
One of the names that I associated with Misc. The problem was just that in fact I confused him with Raz in the beginning. I was well aware they didn't share similar opinions at all, but still I never remembered which one of them said what. Not until he became a Misc moderator I recognized Heald.

Knight of Time
A long time member, but it wasn't until the introduction of Whack-a-TPMer when I learned his name. His whacks were memorable and they really showed he liked the game.

Lady Vulpix
Her name rose up in the past of TPM, but the first thing I associated her with was her trip to Finland she referred to.

PancaKe
I've got a feeling I might remember reading something from her in TPM's past, but don't remember what. Only her temporary comeback caught me up.

shazza
Pretty much the same goes for him as for firepokemon.

Wolfsong
All of a sudden, she gave me a Dodrio under an ASB tree. Since then, we have fought one complete battle, been friends and now another battle is in progress.

Zak
Let's see... Zak, Hanada Tattsu, Murgatroyd, AKA Pokemon Fan and Animelee... the old Pokemon Anime quintet.
