I was bored. It's been quite a while since the last one, and a lot happened since then.
So post your memeories of the Spidweb community, from the very beginning (before there was an official message board) to the present.

I join the community. I make myself visible. I get mocked, sneered at, and nailed to a steel cross.
I recede into the darkness.

Alorael recently wrote something about the early SW history. Can't recall where or when, though.

Ain't I helpful!

Since I am, and probably will forever be a newbie, I don't dare going in to my memories (that anyway starts in Aug. 2003. Wouldn't be too useful.)

...up with the sag!

I've been here around three friggin' years, and I can't think of a better term to describe the experience that wouldn't get me banned. -_-

--------------------
We're all amazed but not amused
By all the things that you said you'd do.
You're much concerned but not involved by
Decisions that are made by you
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song,
Telling us how you are going to change right from wrong,
'Cause if you really want to hear our views,
You haven't done nothin'.

I have "existed" in the community for about four years, but only made myself visible about 2 years ago. I remember being quite intimidated by the idea of posting at Misc when I first started...

I joined the community 4 years ago and fondly remembers the News In Exile topic started by Black Wombat.

I joined the old Ikonboard slightly more than three and a half years ago, posted for a short time, vanished for months, and reappeared. Since then I've been around and posting frantically.

—Alorael, who notices that there haven't been many memories yet, just times and complaints. How about some nostalgia about the good old days of Señor Parapluie?

Actually, Milla posted a memory. I remember that topic too, nwo that you mention it. Wombat showed up, posted for a couple weeks, then left, and has not posted since.
I remember when I first joined the boards (just after the transfer to UBB). Saunders became moderator of General, and there was a topic in which everyone congratulated her and argued over what part girl she was, after someone said "We finally have a whole two girl mods!" The other was Lightning Exiled, who left quite a while ago. As I said, there was also a "Memories..." topic. And there was the Talking Mod Dolls topic.
There was also a topic in which someone said something that offended someone else. Someone said "Uh oh. I smell a flame war. *heads to the bunker*" Then, several other people joined him in the bunker. Some people brought popcorn and other snacks. It was interesting for a while, but then it was locked.

There was also the "Black Marks". I also remember the first post I posted there. It basic said "Hi! I'm a newbie". The first reply was from TM who bascially said that this topic was for a chatroom or something, then someone called Game Pu (who had a sailor moon avatar) said I was allowed to post there because it in Misc. The topic ended up being about Satanism and sadisticism (some word like that).

On that board I was called Sliver Ethereal. After a month I realised that I had spelt my name wrong.

Memories? Man, I wish I had some. Or rather, wish there were some on these boards in the first place. IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Memories___ (the sequel)_files/rolleyes.gif) I spend alot more of my time on other boards. That's my excuse.

I still remember that old 'Slith vs. Nephils' topic from awhile ago. Man, that one was intense... IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Memories___ (the sequel)_files/biggrin.gif)

Which one of the dozens?

And I've been a member of this damn community for about two years now. All I've gotten is people first kicking me in the shin and then telling me no one hates me. Horray.

I also remember the SAPHER-incidents, the Tails-incidents, and the Shotts-reborn-incident.

The good Sliths-vs-Nephs topic was the one that got to 30 pages and was locked for consuming about half the board's memory in one massive topic. It died down at several points because only Corey favoured the Nephils, and he couldn't put up a coherent argument in their favour.

I remember when polls just came out, and there around 10 or fifteen of them in Misc. They all were as useless as everything else. Hoorj.

The Avernum Awards, which everyone blames me for ruining. Some people enjoyed it, though.
Masta Assissan, with "assassin" misspelled. Not a good memory. Not even a significant memory. But a memory nevertheless.
Shotts. Pepsi charts. The horror.
