History of the Forum & BMIII

[Shemuel]

OK, so I'm going to have to give this to you in sections, as I don't have time to sit down and write this all at once. I guess I'll begin with the forum (it's the easiest), but the forum is a result of the games, which I'll write about later

So, this forum was started on October 13th 2007. I originally had a forum with proboards for BM2 before this forum, that had only a few members from VX Flash like Trekcheese and all those good people we used to know and love. That forum was a direct result of Dondon challenging me to completing BM2 first. Anyways, that forum wasn't going anywhere, and I was on Dondon's forum and started a little old RPG called Darkwing: The Arton Expanse. Just a side note here, at that time, Jerome Star was my first officer on the RP, a CMDR Milne if I remember right. Anyways, I (after starting a little project we like to call BM3) decided to make a new forum for really no reason. I figured I'd make it like Vex's, with the same general categories and such (I don't know why, I must've liked it). Anyways, a couple of members from my old forum joined, and I made people like Trekcheese mods I think, but nobody posted. I don't even know if they posted once, well, they must have, their accounts say 0 posts (some of them) I think it's cause we purged some of the old stuff several months ago. Well, nobody posted and nobody knew this forum was here. Now I decided to go with these guys for a host simply because dondon's site looked cool, so I mimicked it. Anyways, this story really begins with the introduction of a little guy named Stewi....


To Be Continued....

...SO this guy named Stewi logs on, and I'm like "holy peanut butter and jelly, a new user!" and I get really excited, and what's more exciting, this Stewi guy actually posts, a lot more than even me! Not only that, this fellow named Stewi says "hey man, me, I do some graphic design yeah! Make me admin and I'll make your forum look sparkly clean!" So I was like "Okely shmokely" and bam, made him admin. Then, he created this kick buck shiny skin for the forum that we used for probably 8 months. Then, more peoples join, including a Mr Sir Alkanosis, and I make him moderator cause I liked him on dondon's site. And this creepy hacker named DJ comes and is like "like totally dude, I'm the sh* man!" And he posted, and this little old forum was getting popular. Then regular's like timey whimey Jtull join and we all make fun of him for his bad grammar, and we're like "dud, u totaly kant spel rite"

Then came the Dark ages.....

well, I found out that I joined dondon's forum in June of 2007, so I was on his forum for what, roughly four months before making this one?

And then this place got to become completely awesome, and people started posting like, all of the time!

[raffitz]

Yes, DJ, I believe you're describing the moments after my arrival...

[Darkjedi]

Why do you think it always has to be about you?

And no, I'm not describing the time of activity that proceeded after your long period of inactivity.

[raffitz]

Why do you think it always has to be about you?

I was joking. One can no longer give a purpose to the existence of one's sense of humor without being censored...

[me naam is m]

raffitz, we all know that some people around here have a rather poor sense of humor...

[Shemuel]

If DW wants to continue with this history, he can. But for now I'm locking it for posterity. The discussion topic of this is still in general chat

[Darkwing]

how's the announce icon raffitz?

[raffitz]

It works fine, but it is too similar to the standard one... You should add a stronger glow...

[Darkwing]

so how's this? any better?

[raffitz]

Yes, I think so...

[Darkwing]

so... i mean to finish this, except i'm beginning to forget what happened. What were the dark ages?

[Darkwing]

ok, so we must be into 2008 by now, let's see. I remember Terra joins or rather uses her brother's account. We had the original New Order RP back then if memory serves. Had a fair bit of spam attacks and ah yes, the dark ages, I figured it out. An incident involving our forum and Dondon's and I daresay pretty much destroyed dondon's forum for good, but started the gathering. Tough times which would then bring us into 2009. I lost my flash stick then when I was getting close to having Beta 1.0 of BM3 out and lost most of the data. That pretty much contributed to the final end to the project which was months later but it happened in the end.

WHAT IS THIS BULL?

DW surpassed ME in post count?

This must be fixed, STAT.

[Darkwing]

thank you for using a thread completely unrelated to that

anyways, what happens next, it all sort of jumbles together now, oh yes, there was the first of my mental collapses, that was in about June, had a couple more, became highly unstable until finally destroying the forum in the fall. Then we moved to the connexion which failed miserably (and looked bad too). We hopped around a bit from different forums until one day I decide to check the FM back-up server and waddya know, this place it stored there, so I bring it back to life and now here we are

(..) which failed miserably (and looked bad too). (...)

Darn artists... ;P

[Darkwing]

yes, the power of Gimp compells you (and yes, I still hate Gimp)

[me naam is m]

Heh, lol. Yeah, I suppose it's like Guinness. You either hate it, or love it.
