Happy birthday pokemasters - Eight years today

[Drago]

AND THEN I CAME AND DID STUFF. Happy birthday you inanimate object (though not even really an object!) I considered posting on the actual day, but then I didn't. Now the party's over and everyone's already left. Fortunately there are some crumbs leftover.

[firepokemon]

I remember the first ever big brother they kicked me out first. I was only being annoying

And welcome back Shazza. I love you under that name it is so much better than Vejodi.

[firepokemon]

LOl someone should bring back Big Brother.

[firepokemon]

Shazza do it.

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]

[dienamight]

[Clark]

wasn't he always a lady?

[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]

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

[Toxicity]

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

Chiming in with my own disappointment after years of inactivity.

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

[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.

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.

[Magmar]

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

[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?

M16 Assault Rifle how scary. And sadly TPM will become more desolate as the years go unless some main site is brought back up.

RedStar and don't forget you were mod of Stadium as World Collision ^^

[Dark Scizor]

It's a shame, and bringing back the main site wouldn't do much, with sites like Serebii being the best resource for Pokémon news and information, TPM would really have to pull one out of that hat to even attract a reasonable amount of traffic.

I really like coming back here every so often, just to check things out. And it's nice to see some activity, even if it is only a little. It's good to know that the place is still breathing. But with Summer coming up, it's only going to get a more quieter. Which is unfortunate in some ways.

[RedStarWarrior]

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

[Drago]

TPM needs to offer something novel that nowhere else has. After a couple years I cared less about Pokemon and stuck around for the community. Now that there is no community, it's hard to find reasons to be here.
If there was to be a main site again, what would it truly offer that nowhere else would? This is 2008, everything's been done already. Perhaps a video game-based web comic. People seem to love those.
