So, what have been your greatest PC memories so far?

My memories are too old to bring up. XD I doubt anyone would want to hear of a time when PC was softer than it is now, especially the staff. It'd be weird trying to tell others, which means I'd rather take a lot of my PC memories to the grave if I have to!

Still, I want to hear what your greatest memories are on PC at the moment!

Patchisou Yutohru DCC takeover 2k13. I'll find links later if I can. It was... marvellous.

Huh, interesting. What do you mean by "softer"? I feel like PC's pretty soft these days but we could be using different definitions.

Like the Crush Thread? It was back in 2004/2005 I believe. I'm not sure. It became more of a discussion thread towards guessing who someone liked or whatever. I can't remember anything else as of now because I'm sleep-deprived. :c PC was a bit more laid-back I guess, but that's probably just because those are some of my best memories. Also, the member clubs were a thing back then as well, so I remember those.

Eh I thought you meant soft as in the staff's attitude. {XD}

I recall there were flames and dramas around 2008 though! :P I love how PC was so dang busy before, the former Current Generation Section, Pokémon Club, Trade and Battle places were too crowded before. :') Miss those days!

Hosting in the second-last Get-Together. Gunner and I had a blast...w-well, I can say that I did. Think I did a pretty good job, and it was one of the few times I actually felt like I had responsibility. =)

I really loved playing games with the old PC Minecraft server regulars! I've met a lot of amazing people there and we had (occasionally some of us still do) tons of fun playing games together. We kind of lost interest in some of the games we used to play daily and moved on to other things, but I still miss those times and have great memories of them.

I still talk to some of my Minecraft buddies daily - Mage, Wobbu, doge and Arc (Anna likes to pop in sometimes) are the ones I consider my best PC friends and we talk in our Skype group all the time, even if we don't play Minecraft together as much anymore. Zeffy too, but he's TOO GOOD FOR US NOW been kinda busy lately so he doesn't really Skype with us.

And I miss the Don't Starve Together crew - Klippy, Mage, Wobbu, Necrum and I were the regulars that played every night, with a couple others on occasion (Omi, marz and Tapioca). I guess it was partially my fault that didn't last, I was one of the first to lose interest and we kept delaying full group sessions until "TOMORROW FOR SURE" became a joke and we all stopped playing for good. :P But still, good times.

I just have great memories of VG in general - Matt's gaming marathons, YoG, UHCs, VGM, all the events.

The Blarzigord take-over around April was some of the most fun I've ever had on PC and its lasting legacy still gives me great amusement and themes for mafia games.

Other than that though, being modded the first time and fond memories of all the great friends I have made here take the cake.

lmao please don't judge my mukty formatting in this post--it's easier to read with the spacing of multiple lists instead of one, I swear. In no particular order:
  • Getting Praetor, because I didn't see it coming at all. Also getting Staff Admin because although I think I knew it was coming (iirc I could see all the votes?), I was still so proud of myself for going as high as I could go and never having to fight anyone to get there. :3
  • Finally kicking mewthree w/armor off the staff. I'm still grinning as I write this. He was SO AWFUL.
  • The hectic days of Gen V's forums before we got mods for it. I think I used to average ~100 posts per day that summer partly from being the only staff member on during the early morning EST to take care of it. It was fun and I think it got me more excited for the new games than I had been for any other gen after II.
  • 9"
  • The time we promoted Nick (sorry, I don't know your username anymore ;_;) on... Christmas Eve...? We started a group chat so we could surprise him and see his reaction in realtime but he'd fallen asleep a few minutes before so it was a few hours before he woke up again and it ruined all our careful planning but it was hilarious.
  • This can't be THAT great a memory because I can't even remember who the heck it was (might have been Nick again???), but we promoted them and linked to a thread in a staff forum they couldn't see previously and they clicked it and even made a comment on it and still didn't notice they'd been modded. We congratulated them after the comment and continued on with our usual conversation and like half an hour later they go "OMG I'M A MOD????" (or smod or whatever) and god it was funny. Who was this???
  • My favourite April Fool's, which was the time all the staff members became regular members and the regular members/supporters became staff based on their ranks. Everyone looked so good in username colours and everyone had fun because it was such a harmless prank in comparison to some others. :')
  • The Slowpoke April Fool's when we did it a few days late and Jolene got really mad because we made a mockery out of the holiday and, iirc, forever changed her signature to a Christmas theme.
  • When you could always tell that summer had arrived because Queen Boo would start making threads everywhere that ~*!*~Were Formatted Like This~*!*~.
  • That very first get-together when everyone just wanted to break the "most users online" record and manually PM'd lists and lists of people to let them know about it because it wasn't staff-sanctioned. And then it worked and became a thing.
  • Having a monopoly on all the claim threads with my friend and giving each other first dibs on claims every time we reset. (We were both admins so we'd post the thread in the admin section to make the claims, then move it into the public forums.) hehehe.
  • Member fanclubs. These were so weird?????? I guess they're essentially the very, very early precursor to that question forum we have now except you couldn't make your own club and some people never even noticed their clubs so it would be a bunch of members fangirling over them for pages. They were so strange, but they were also essentially group chat VMs for groups of friends so I kinda miss them in that sense. :< (It was also back before VMs were a thing so that probably helped with their popularity. We had a whole subforum for them at one time.)
That's... probably enough, lol.

I could say the times I've been promoted, as they definitely are, but I'll say something else that's not so obvious.

Probably my entire span of modding FF&W, and the few months of being a regular before that. That was when I really discovered my spark for writing, and I would review every new fic that came into the section, as well as each new chapter that came afterwards. Getting all of the "Thanks for reviewing my fic!" messages and even a couple people saying it was the best advice they'd ever received just made my day. I keep telling myself I should get into it again, but I just don't have the time/energy to do it. Real life wears me out and I'm working on my own projects now, but maybe someday I can do that again.

Also running that six week creative writing class was a blast.

Becoming a Community Supporter in 2012. Yeah I'm boring but you have to admit I did not see it coming at all, let alone a high tier being gifted as a birthday present. But I do feel happy it did happen because my activity would not have been the same as it is now.

There was also most of the April Fools jokes. Best one would have been Lerroux or where everyone's postbit showed up as a different Pokemon.

I still remember the moment everyone in the PC Battle Server were practically becoming staffs and going wild for a while in one of the AFDs that I attended, it's so hilarious.

I also remember the days when I get the first batch of PC Supportership (as Gold tier) which makes me feel that I'm fitting to be in PC even more. Even though the day after that was not what I expect it to be, thanks to the support of my friends, I'm still sticking, even on this day. :)

I wasn't here for the Lerroux takeover. Too bad. :c

But I was here for the Slowpoke April Fools. In fact, I'm using the theme right now because it's reminds me on how much I avoided the forums that day because of all the pink... yeah idk what's wrong with my old self haha.
