Back in the Old Days - What Do You Remember?

Memories from My PPT Life

Before I joined, I "lived" at IDNQ. Strangefire420 mentioned these forums, and one time when I was banned from IDNQ...I think it was the second time (I got banned 4 times I think. Such a naïve friends555 I was.)...I came here.

I posted my first message. It was about me being banned from IDNQ and coming here to fill my time. I got a bunch of replies, but I only remember one: "Jump on the banned wagon!" I remember also I said in my post "oh no, hunter's modding".

The admins at the time were SL, Jim, and Janie. Bob was "Back to Modding". Hunter was a moddy and Rune was just a member...y. Icey joined and we had a post-count race...he was winning until he stopped at 160...I went on to a post count of around 2k (if you count the posts I made on this new forum.)

After a while, I stopped looking for my old IDNQ friends and made some new friends. I don't really remember who my first few friends were, but now I'm pretty comfortable around everyone here, so it doesn't really matter who I am or was closer with.

I remember a bunch of old mods that I never really knew. I also remember Venny...and my short obsession with him after I joined Divas...and how I kept threatening to get Faye a tongue-ectomy because he liked her.

I remember the Outkasts, and when Venny left, and when Lillie aka Ten Snow took over. I remember trying to get into as many groups as possible...including the not-a-usergroup CCC. I kept hoping Cheese would notice my little "tour guide" newbie-scaring post. It turns out he did remember (after the CCC was disbanded and re-made in Gods months later, I asked him) but he never asked me to join...I was too shy to request it for myself.

I remember the time warp. I was typing up a post for the one RP I have ever been in (I knew absolutely nothing about the topic or how to RP...silly little Tymaporer), and suddenly I got this weird error message that I'd never seen before. I clicked the back button and saved my post (it's gone now) and after about a minute, the forums came back. I never noticed the date it said (July 14...it was actually August 5.) I simply went back to post my thing on the RP, and upon noticing that it wasn't there, I posted a topic in SDIS (or Q&A, I can't remember) titled "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hehehe...I was so young.

I remember creating a second account under the name Venalina (that was when Venny was done being a girl) and Janie caught me after 10 posts...I did it because I was trying to remember what it was like to be a newbie. Seriously, that’s why. I remember around the holidays, everyone changed their names (I was .frostie555 O_o) and Jim was The Jimch. I wrote a song based off Jim’s new name called “You’re a Green One, Mr. Jimch”, and sent it to him. I think he liked it.

I remember the second PPTbies. I really wanted to win something, and Bob had just left, so I made a fake screenshot of the admin-only board...it had three topics visible in that part of the “screenshot”. One was by SL, asking why the admin board needed a moderator. One was by Jim, saying that anyone who didn’t vote for me would have their account deleted. And the last one was by Bob, saying that he didn’t vote for me. (I almost got a strike for it.) Needless to say, I wasn’t even a top nominee in any category...

I remember that April Fool’s Day stuff. Wibble. XD And there were the mod clones, and I started a line of “member clones”, and then there was...what else? It was so long ago.

I remember my first anniversary, and how I posted an essay that I wrote for English class about PPT, and then how my birthday thread got almost no posts because my birthday was three days after my anniversary and everyone was wishing me happy early birthday on my anniversary thread. XP

I remember the great crash, and how PPT was gone for three weeks (it seems shorter when I think about it now, but I don’t know why!) Now there’s a new PPT, and we can’t change our names, and all the cool hacks are gone. The old stars are gone, to be replaced with new wiggly ones, and Super Mods are now Global Mods.

It gives me a sad feeling to think that I had all these experiences on the old PPT, and now it’s gone, all gone. But at least I still have the memories. And I still have my friends. I think my depression has gotten a slight bit better now that I realize that there are people, no matter how far away, who care about me. And it’s because of my friends that I’ve stuck with PPT for so long. So let it be known that for as long as my online friends stay on PPT, I will, too. And let there be many new memories made on this new PPT.

*wipes tears from eyes* That's so sad! I remember a lot from the old times too. But then your feelings start to become numb as people come and go, faces change and your own self changes...

How about the original PPT Dance Extravaganza? That was certainly something to remember...

[Chaud]

Personal quotes, come back to me...

My posts, come back to me...

PPTbies, come back to me...

Old stars, come back to me...

Tyma, you missed me? I feel to violated

[drummer.a.h]

-The Mallory clones. Enough said.

Haha - and the Conan sets!

That was brilliant.

Anyway. The infamous starribbon should be put in the yearbook. Only people who remember and were around at the time might know who I'm talking about.

*nods*

I agree.

[Jens]

Ah, so many memories. Good times in the ChatBox. (I think I'm the only person who misses that thing!)

oh no don't remind me to that i remember mods saying all the time "what would happen if i pressed /kick tiziliAN?" i mean, if somebody got into the chatbox, suddenly 3 or 4 people joined, then suddenly a whole bunch, then they all suddenly leave, i think it was pretty useless

[Ixistant]

Well, d, but I think my Pink Power Ranger set should be put in. That was just funny. I only just realised I was still using it there!

I remember... this was only like this May... I hadn't been on in forever, and I got on, and, although it said I was logged in, I couldn't post because it thought I wasn't logged in. Then it turned out I couldn't log out! That took a while to fix, and that's what happened to my Girligirlz2000 or NLioness918 account, whatever my username was back then...

I remember back in the days, the Outkasts group was a little more hyper then usual... Then All of a sudden Ven posted a board something to the affect of "I've died.." or maybe something else, my mind is a bit fuzzy... anyway he changed his name to Venemous the Zombie, and eventually it caght on and everyone in the outkasts had changed their name to be something dead... I was Rontu back then, I became Spirit Rontu. This lasted for a month or so until it died out... such good times...

[Zeppeleptic]

I would like to see PPT band members again, I thought that was great! (well besides my 8000 posts)

OFFICIAL ENTRY

I remember when I first joined, making a thread in the board where I fell on my butt. I think it was entitled KONICHIWAAAAAAA or something like that. Everyone came flocking to it, welcoming me and telling me how awesome my introduction was.

I remember joining PPT Divas, and feeling like I was a part of a family.

I remember getting my own quote and feeling so proud of myself.

I remember feeling determined to be nominated for the PPTbies next year since I hadn't been nominated that year.

I remember the Gods board...and how much you looked up to the people with 4 stars. It was so much harder to get back then...1000 posts. You looked up to people like Mermaid Hil and Neopets Mom for their post count.

I remember Christmas, and the amount of fun we had. I had changed my name to Meowth the Christmas Cat and it was just a lot of fun to see the names like "The Jimch".

I miss the good old days, but then I think about all of the memories ahead of us...and look forward to it

Aw, it was fun. Pre-IRC, it was the only place where PPTers could really have live chat. It lagged horribly, but that added to its charm.

In the good old days:

Kingdom Sakura-may you rest in peace
Donavin tower-ditto
Elemental rp 3- where did it go?
Icy Fire- *cries*

[Angus Young]
