One of my fondest memories was the Outkast Fight a long time ago (back when Ven ran the board). It was fourty beautiful pages of spammy battling. It's where I met Atty, Niten, and Collin. *sniff* Beautiful memories... :3
Or when like, everybody was afraid of my Zero obsession, mainly because I kept posting a picture of Shirtless Zero I drew.
I need to draw a new one, the current one looks like he has saggy boobs
Only one other person would remember this XD
And for something that might actually go in...
PPT was the first site that showed me not ALL internet forums are infested by fourty year old men who want to get a piece of me.
*sniff* So many fond memories... Yet so many horrifying ones, too. Does anybody remember The Great Time Warp last August? Not only were our post counts destroyed (mine was cut in half), but all the threads were gone, too! That especially affected the RPers. Poor guys.
Anyway, to put it bluntly...
Try to put that in!

I think there was someone before them, but that's a pretty cool event still. It be neat if Jenn or Steph would share a picture of that to put on the year book

Is this Yearbook for 2002, 2003 or 2004? I swear there have been stories mentioned from all over the place!
The creation of Pink Ink was such a lot of hype. Someone who knows more had better fill in on that, because it's definitely something worth putting in.
Oh heck, I remember. There was this one time I was completely and utterly miserable for two weeks or so. I had a minor emotional weeping period, don't know if it was break down or not. I will definitely remember the support of all those who posted to cheer me up and just to tell me that they were there. It was important to me to know that people were just there for me and so I've tried since to be there for other people. I got a surprise webpage from CSK and Charisma who had collected what nice things people had to say about me and put them all in. I'll always be grateful to everyone who was there for me. I have a copy of everything saved onto my hard drive for those down days, because I never want to be so miserable onto other people again. Many people are down and PPT has always proved to be a supportive place for them.
Being made a moderator was fun. I climbed out of bed one day and was attacked by congratulations on AIM. Ooo, now that was a sight, a bleary eyed, tossle haired kid with jaw dropped open when I found out.
The PPT Gods Dictionary being a mini success at the start of it. That was great simply because it was the first original idea I had ever had on PPT and it was a good one. I've only got the first copy saved, not the new one. *sigh*
PPT Survivor! I loved how it was all girls at the end and the conversations that took place about who was winning and who was losing. The discussion of who to vote for. I clearly recall Chrome saying she would flip a coin for if the last two girls both had a "C" as the beginning letter of their name.
Oh bunches of other things! Birthdays for one. People are always there to say Happy Birthday to you, or have surprise birthday topics for people. That's a lovely thing, I think, because you get to feel so special.
And I quit here before someone screams that I'm covering everything they wanted to say.

Well...
Way back during Summer 2002 we were constantly changing servers. After my original registering in mid June, I had to reregister about 5 times. First time was because I forgot my password on my original account because I changed my email and it didn't let me log in once it sent me a new password. But the other 4 times were server changes. Final time was when we settled onto the almost permenant server, which just recently went down.
Also, the time warp of last summer. If my memory serves me correctly, it happened in early to mid August. All posts were deleted that were made after July 13th. Post counts were also set back to what they had been on July 13th. It was mass chaos, since no one had any idea what was going on. Looking back on it, I laugh at how all the members were acting. Seeing all these topics spread across the forums stating "Whats going on?!?! My post count was lowered!!" makes me laugh now.
And when Jim made me an admin for 30 seconds when the forums were running incredibly slow
Oh God I can go on and on... people can add more detail onto these. I just wrote what I could remember.

I remember the massive time warp we had back in August.
I also remember the EXTREME! fad which resurfaced recently, created by Mat/PyroParrot.

There was also the Dark Angel/Chrome fad. If you supported the Dark Angels you would change your username to "Dark Angel [insert username here]" and if you supported the Chromes you would become "Chrome[insert name here]".

Would our infamous ex-admins be included in this yearbook also?
Fri Jul 02, 2004 2:31 am
*squeals* The time we all changed to the Conan O'Brian set...
*grins* (btw, not a fad...it lasted all of half a day)
And...oh, so much, but I'm no good at remembering, so you all just say it for me.

*Starts typing*
PI basically started when somebody who I believe is no longer a member suggested starting a paper of sorts for PPT. I offered to help with it, and started a thread in Misc Disc, asking if anybody would be willing to help. It got loads of responses, and millions of suggestions. (I won't go into all the little details of who did what and all that, because the list IS rather long) The first PI staff was created, and all we needed was somewhere to start. At first PI was going to be set up on angelfire, by Lilac, who had offered to do the job, provided she had everything. Then Hunter stepped in and offered to do it for us. (Thank you, Hunter!) So the CP was created, along with the front page, and all that stuff. The original thread in Misc Disc, by then, had been split numerous times and had about 50 pages in total. When the first issue came out, it didn't have much in it and had a few mistakes (on our part), but everybody was happy. (If I haven't mentioned it yet, PI was started mid-August of '03.) By December the staff had changed numerous times, and we were doing quite a bit better. We had our ups and downs (mostly me forgetting to release the issue or being lazy or something else wrong on my part *ahem*). Then we appealed to Jim for a usergroup. After a while of bugging him about it, it was created, and Pudding was set in charge as the mod. After a while Yoshi was added as the co-mod, and then PPT went down.
Honestly, I could type a lot more than that, but I figured you don't want to read it anyhow. If you've been with PPT long enough you know it all already, right?
EDIT: I forgot a bunch of stuff. I realized this five seconds after hitting submit. Oh well. If anybody remembers anything else, go ahead.
EDIT NO. 2: Eeeeek. I forgot about the makeover. x_X!! I forgot about the makeover! Argghhh! *Kicks her memory* YOSHI!
Fri Jul 02, 2004 3:25 am
I think old staff should be mentioned with a thank you for their hard work, like Ven, Pudding, Kagome, etc.

Extreme=EVIL!!. I refused to do it. It seemed like everyone was trying to get me to do it. I thought it was silly. That and the Conan O'Brien thing.
I remember when Stephy and Ven were THE PPT couple. I'm sure there are other things I remember....I just can't think of them now. I probably will later.

Has anyone mentioned the timewarp, I guess not, I think one of the Super Mod's back then restores them, but that was kinda wierd.
And when I misunderstood Fiddleysquats mock humor and she threated to change it to blatent humor or something alng those lines, my brain needs clarifying.

OFFICIAL POST
Oi.
So much has gone on since I first joined PPT...which was, I think, March 31st? More than a year ago. Time flies, huh? Lessee...what important has gone on since then? Gah, a lot, I can't remember much of it.
Let's see...The Time Warp. (Comes complete with capital letters!) That was a disaster I was pretty new then, barely 200 posts I believe. We lost a bunch of members and I believe people even lost up to a thousand posts. x_x
We've had a lot of drama. :| Some things in this area shouldn't be brought up for the sanity of members. ^_~ But we've always been able to pull through...maybe not as peaceful as before but the group's always been great at recovering.
The trends...those were funny. XD Extreme! is one of the only ones I can remember...what else..."OMG IT'S" is another one, and I know there were at least a few more. And then there were groups, like the one in the Gods that had been around for a while, but then they put it in their names and confused everyone.
And then our most recent disaster, the PPT's downtime and loss of the forums and such. =x "Get comfortable...because you could be here for a while." Now all we have to do is wait.
