Happy birthday pokemasters - Eight years today

[Toxicity]

I think it was the same one cause I remember in that one you all had to act like someone else for a week and WPM had to be you. But I could have sworn you were in the one with two houses, were you not?

If Boys versus Girls constitutes as two houses, then that would be it.

And yeah, I remember posting as Jamey. Of course, it wasn't as good as he posing as Zak Hunter, with Zak Hunter masquerading as Tara.

[shazza]

I thought in BigBrother 3 (or 2) I did Red House vs Blue House? Is that what you're referring to, Zak?

I'll bring it back if people are interested? It would just be the same people playing again, though.

Yeah that was the one. It couldn't have been 2, that's the one I was in where I... you know... yeah.

You should give it a shot, there are actually more new frequent users than you may think. Probably just enough to make a full house, maybe repeat one or two.

[firepokemon]

Shazza do it.

8 years?! And my account dates back to April 21, 2001! Man I feel olde...

Look at what I found...




stuff...

~Charles Legend

That list should have included Bjarni... And WPM. Both members that steer up so much mixed feelings if you talk about them.

Man, reading that list put a lump up my throat... So many people, so many events... And most of them I recognize (hearing about), too.

There should have been a mentioning of the numerous times we got hacked, and about DigiMasters.com (Kevin's idea of an April Fools joke )...

To wrap this up, I shall reference some of the unforgettable words of Bjarni:

I R AUITSM!!! LOOK aT piCtuRe oF my FRiEnd's pElvis!!! (*)

(*) Artistic impression. I neither claim nor deny any said member ever having said these words.

[mr_pikachu]

I R AUITSM!!! LOOK aT piCtuRe oF my FRiEnd's pElvis!!! (*)

Bjarni never said that. I know because he couldn't spell that well.

*chuckles ruefully* When I was new, I actually tried to defend him against some of the near-flames. Then someone (Becca, I believe) told me about the situation. Kinda sad, if only because he gave actual autism a bad reputation.

On a side note, someone really should restart BB. The show was lame; the game was interesting.

[Crystalmaster Mike]

Talking about bad spelling, there were times you'd log on to Pokémasters.net and it just wouldn't be quite the same... You know, pointlessly colored banners, ads in all the wrong places, 18+ material... Those were the times you could tell... "Righteo, this place's been hacked again."

As far as reviving BB goes... well(*), you could try something the Oz once did in FanFic: have people register as themselves for a crazy bus tour, let them bring only one companion of choice, and have Andrew be the bus driver.
Can you picture it? A whole bunch of people, with their fictional/mysterious/Fakemonish peers, and singing "Hail to the bus driver, bus driver man!" Ah, the good olde days...

(*) you might need electroshocks for that...

[shazza]

I am restarting BB in a week or so, thanks.

I can't believe the first TPM BB game I made was 6 years ago.

[firepokemon]

I wonder if I'll be kicked out first again? Yeah, prolly.

[Chris 2.1]

Happy birthday TPM. And can people diss my 'era' of ASB in private, it's ruining my self esteem.

[Clark]

lol asb ruled back then dewd~~~~~!

[Leon-IH]

TPM is a bit like a turtle, it just keeps on going..

[Crystalmaster Mike]

TPM is a bit like a turtle,

it's one tough nut to crack.

To think how many new (sub-)forums have popped up since then... The Archive, AP/CP, every new Generation of Pokémon...
It's like the Hydra: chop one head off, two grow back, meaner than ever!

Yes well some I don't get such as the Entertainment forum but never mind. I am glad that we never had forums everywhere like some places. What I find particularly bad, is those boards with lots and lots of areas. Because, the way I see it, they simply don't have enough members to justify such a large forum, and so many forums inside it. Bleh am I making any sense?

[Shadowgirl43]

uhhhhh.......hi!

[firepokemon]

uhhhhh.......hi!

Hello :emo:

[shazza]

Sup sweetheart?

[firepokemon]

Bah I was hoping that was a member we'd know

[Zak]

What makes you sure it isn't?

[kainashi]

that historic members list is bs. how am i NOT on there!

[Kirby]

That's because you're still here.

[Clark]

because you fail at life.

[woz]

who's kainashi again guys?

[firepokemon]

Oh Lugia you'll always be historic to me
*sobs*

[DarkTemplarZero]

Lets see over Powered sigs, People spent more time running Businesses then they did battling, and the Losers got nothing for a battle that went one for weeks and months at a time. need I say more?

also leave my Lackeys out of this, or else.

Total nub. T_M_L was one of the people that took my beloved ASB and turned it into a complete shithole. Back in the day ASB was one of the most active forums. There was a time when sub-refs would get no money but people would still sub-ref because reffing was fun. Battles were lightning quick and fiercely creative, with a minimum of the cheesey "flamethrower x3 lulz" crap that passes for battles nowadays. Refs were creative and it was a joy to even read other people's battles. Teams were totally unique to the player. Man I miss the good old days. Now battles take a lifetime and never end because nobody in their right mind wants to ref, it's too damn boring.

[DarkTemplarZero]

Oh and btw I'm not a historic member? Much disappointment.

We don't feel worthy of your divine prehistoric power, sir Raptor Jesus.

[Magmar]

Lol if I had a history page it would probably be something like.

Magmar: Longest-tenured member of the forums who is not currently an administrator, first elected moderator of a forum, notorious for being blasphemous and gay.



Nevertheless happy 8th birthday to TPM forums and I guess to me on the same day. Woot for 8 years of time I can never get back!

[firepokemon]

You people are all historical, just you ppl can't be bothered to get off your arse and tell your damn stories. So one day I will have to get off my arse and tell everyones story.

Magmar is that you in that photo? Too slow for TPMs birthday and my god Easter? Easter was ages ago as well. Oh well.

Oh and talking about ASB. Could someone not write the history about it or something. Because its a very important forum that goes back years and well I was never really part of that scene, I posted like three times and well the history needs to be told. Especially the drama that the forum had and stuff. In fact really someone needs to do proper histories of all the forums. Even the smaller ones such as Other Anime where for a while I modded even though at that time I barely watched anime whatsoever.

[Magmar]

Yes, that's really me in that photo, and that is my horrific photoshopping from Easter past lol.

Chiming in with my own disappointment after years of inactivity.

hi

[dienamight]

that historic members list is bs. how am i NOT on there!

Hey kainashi I just looked at your profile and saw that you're female now so congrats on the successful operation you must be one happy lady!

[Clark]

wasn't he always a lady?

I doubt anyone is here long enough to write the histories for the smaller forums like OA. Basically, I was not even there long enough to write a complete history since I was not that active during PlatiniumHawke's time. The only person fit enough to write for OA forums would be Last Exile. However as you can see, he is not online these days either.

hi

Holy flurking shnit. It's diena. Waiting for the word 'fiend'. Still waiting.

Ooh and if people want a write-up on all the forums, I'll do the one for LP's 1337 forum. Coz I wasn't in it so it's fun to make assumptions as to what happened in there.

EDIT: lolz shazza sed teh naughty werds

[shazza]

Holy fucking shit indeed.

[Heald]

Ditto.

[firepokemon]

Hmmm jolly good. 2000 babies everywhere.

[dienamight]

A baby that can operate an M16 assault rifle and drink you under the table, LOL.

What's up everyone? I see TPM has been pretty desolate lately, think we can change that?

[RedStarWarrior]

I love how I am listed as Misc moderator under two different s/ns of mine.
