I... don't have as many as I thought I would, aww. But they span the years across like three distinct eras of PC so...! I'm giving my best estimates for these dates. And fair warning a lot of them are prob staff based rather than general screenshots 'cuz, well, 10+ years on staff. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also you're not allowed to judge my tabs in these you just aren't.

I think this is when Jorfe got Staff Admin? The filename mentioned him so apparently he's the highlight of it. But pls also notice Dakota (an old Dakota not around anymore, not current!Dakota) and his username he got stuck with for a few months bc for some reason we were assholes and wouldn't let him change his joke name back or something??? Or maybe he was chill with it, I can't remember. Also lol remember when we used to do presidential elections???
These screenshots are leftover from when Abby let me into her admin usergroup for 10 minutes to take screenshots. It was exciting because I was pink! (And look at me now! Full circle, apparently. Man, if I ever meet up with Abby again I have to show her I'm pink again even if she won't care LOL.) Slightly more interestingly than just my old profile and the staff page is maybe the who's online list. and the fact that i used to use dark themes? whoa crazy. also lol site admins.
Hopefully someone else remembers the context of this a little better but like, I think way back when we modded Morkula in Webmaster's Discussion, some of the regulars of the forum rioted bc we didn't pick some other user. So in retaliation every single admin put themselves in Webmasters Discussion as a mod. I don't think anyone won that argument. "I got in a fight with the entirety of a dying forum and all I got was this screenshot". There's some really old usernames in here, lol.
When we upgraded to some vBulletin 3.x version, they added usernotes and we had absolutely no idea what to do with them. So mine, uh, turned into this. (Note the pagecount. It was all spam.) Eventually we ended up using them for big warnings so the juxtaposition of how spammy all the staff notes were compared to general users was funny (until some ex-staff started getting big warnings and then it was just awkward oops.) This screenshot was
taken much later (prob 2009ish) but the dates are 2004 so i'm putting it here.

HQ was srs bsns.
I used to proudly mod HQ but you could only see it if you could actually access HQ. :(

Anyone wanna see some reputation rankings? I dunno why I screencapped these. Maybe it was before nuking it the last time or something? Who knows! Look at me, most popular admin, i guess.
How TF was mewthree so high.
Lol remember when we had a Tabletop Gaming forum? It took us way too long to nuke the never-used other cards forum so it became that for a while.
I take banning very seriously.
Once Audy hardcoded in millions of notifications for me and then??? went to bed??? and I was stuck with this for 24 hours and it was the worst day of my life 0/10 do not recommend
One time Patchisou!Nick moved the moderator guidelines into the pixel art forum by accident...? And tried to call someone out for it and then we looked up mod logs and it was him.
We removed name changes for a long time and I guess I was getting "name change kit" ads on the thread which was great. Guess we should've just charged $17.95 for them instead of taking them away entirely??? Some of you chronic name changers would be so broke by now if we had.

This is not technically PC because it never happened but once i was making a Probopass theme and everyone veto'd it but I just wanted to let you guys know what you were missing out on. Cowards.
