Durandal7 · Oct 3, 2002, 06:21 PM

What are some memorable events that have gone down on the forums? What sticks out in your mind?

(Provide a link to the thread if you can find it)

Durandal7 · Oct 3, 2002, 06:26 PM

This one is always good for a laugh, I'm sure anyone on the forums at the time remembers it...

This one was pretty fun.

That was the first 'Day of Useless Polls' if I remember correctly.

The first since I've been here anywayz.

What the hell was that?

I never was able to follow that thread.

King Cobra · Oct 10, 2002, 04:20 PM

That is really an old topic, is DGVPG. If you want, do a search on the DGVPG to about three months ago.

I still find it hard to forget.

Now I'm not sure if I find it harder to forget the changes as a result of the DGVPG, or the number of complaints that aroused from it.

The DGVPG was a consolidated effort by the early demi-gods to get people to contribute. Though it had good intentions it soon got out of hand and began to piss everyone off until arn intervened.

I don't know if they count as memorable moments but they will definitely count high on the all time list of useless threads.

apparently good ole jadam has never seen American Beauty. Otherwise he would have embraced his sexual urges by now. He's still caught up in the "its wrong" thing i guess.

Would someone like to tell me why the ****** I got jumped on when, years after I come aboard, people introduce themselves similarly, got lots of online handshakes, and I got slammed at instead?

PS: eye, how could you not wink on your first post?

My bad, eye, but you know I had to do that.
