We've been around here now for awhile, some of us longer than others. What were some of your favourite memories of the 'ol HF? A few of mine include:

-The Muppet movie thread. Just...the whole thread, from the jokes about Green with Envy to Dave's unending quest to find Kermit in the Green with Envy poster, most especially the entire page of us reciting each line of the theme song, and then me turning into Beaker. It's still one of my favourite things on here.

-The care packages sent to North Ranger and Figment Pez.

-Mathias' hilarious pep talk to me about a girl I was interested in. I can't remember who the girl was now, but Mathias posted a picture of Beast from Beauty & the Beast wearing a monocle and top hat, talking very fancy in his caption. I knew exactly where he was going with it, so said "Soooo, what're you saying?" The next Beast caption was sans monocle & top hat, saying "DO IT FAGGOT!" which both me and Mathias laughed heartily at. I know the joke ruffled some feathers when it was repeated once or twice again, but I still thought it was hilarious.

-Gusto's reaction to his friend meeting the actor that plays Abed on Community.

-SIMILES?! (Even though the joke has run its course, I think it's still hilarious)

-This isn't what I mean when I say fuck the police." - Charlie, in the Officer Charon thread.

-Being interviewed by Jay on The Jay Show.

And that's about all that I can think of, off the top of my head.

Technically not "halforums" as it predates the Great Upheaval, but, the "Americanization of the UK" thread. Over one hundred pages of meandering, seething vitriol.

I don't know the first, but holy shit, I loved Halforums House. Keep hoping someone will boot up Sims 3 and hit up that shit again.

I keep thinking about it. :) There are a couple new expansions I don't have yet but I'm mulling over starting a new HFH series, for at least a little while.

Oh, and Company of Discord refers to our Ventrilo/Gametable Dungeons and Dragons group that continued for nearly 2 years on these boards. :)

The weird sex story thread from when we first got booted from PvP. That thread was... informative.

How did the Halforums house work in the Sims 3 anyways? That sounds hilarious.

Favorite Halforums moments:

- Sharing the unexpected vitriol about Mass Effect 3's sucky ending with like minded forumites (Jay gets a mention here... his level of hatred for the ending approaches mine).

- I loved how much Mathias/Chaz hated Guitar Hero and the few threads that ragged on him hard about it.

- The NorthRanger and FigmentPez care packages were awesome.

- The Cosplay threads. Even though I haven't been that active in them I love looking at all the well made costumes. LittleKagsin, your thread has been nothing but gold. Keep it up.

- Brofists. Brofists rule.

- Gasbandits political thread is always an interesting read. I very rarely participate but it's always full of amusing opinions/vitriol/rhetoric/facts/bullshit.

I feel like I haven't been here long enough....(Guess what - it's officially been a year that I've been here!)

But I was really happy to be a part of the care packages for Pezzle and North_Ranger. I enjoy warm fuzzy moments like that.

I don't know if it counts as memories, but I enjoy that I now understand most of the in-jokes. And even though most of them have run beyond the course, I still find them funny. :)

Silver Jelly/CynicismKills/etc. doing their muppet doodles.

Also, the Juski doodles.

Basically, anything with doodles.

Doooooodles.

Oh, just thought of another one: JCM telling Calleja he was pronouncing his own name wrong. I thought that was pretty funny.

I think the N_R/FigPez gift-givings have been the highlight of my time here. Never before have I felt that sort of connection with an online community, that not only were they going out of their way to help out one of their own in a time of need, but also that _I_ felt connected enough to contribute... or at least try to.

This has become my hangout, my equivalent of a bar to go and blow off steam. My home away from home. Sure, there are some people here who I could cheerfully throttle, and at times there's more than the fair share of drama to be found here, but there's more than a few people here that I would not only buy a drink for, but whom I'd throw down for.

Stay awesome, Halforums.

I have fond memories of the Truth or Dare threads, those art contests and turning the whole forum against me simply for stealing all their money.

Also, minotaur penis.

Oh man, truth or dare!!! :D I remember my webcam broke right around the time I had to post a rendition of "down by the bay." I still have that "Single Ladies" video...

The Triple Triad card game.

FF8's one of my favorite games, so when Triple Triad was added to the site I played it obsessively, mainly for the nostalgia factor. If I recall correctly, I was the first guy to complete the FF8 set of cards, collected them all within a day of the game going live.

Krisken wasn't far behind me, and he was a pretty good player too. We had a showdown of awesomeness that ended in a draw.

EDIT: Oh, also, the first version of the HF arcade (and pretty much every subsequent version) where Drifter had the high score to pretty much everything. It was freaky.

Ooh, three threads of my own making that I really loved the reaction to:

-The One Word Only Thread
-The Don't Talk About Anything Thread
-Thread Title (where we said things like "Over-reacting, angry response! Dave's constant ban-hammer threats were hilarious)

Top 5, in no particular order :

1. Company of Discord (The classics - the talking horse)

2. Company of Louts (Probably my favorite memory)

3. Ventrilo Nights at HF, we need to make more awesome nights like that. (Manpleasing Hobos, Deal with it Cops and most importantly horrible Prom Night puns ALL NIGHT LONG BABY)

4. Gaming COOP - Mass Effect 3, Killing Floor, Team Fortress 2..etc (But you guys are fickle as fuck man)

5. The Jay Show

(I don't count Kag's cosplay thread... still active, not a memory... but I do have memories of femCanada :eek:)


Memorable mention :

- Everyone one of my epic replies

https://www.halforums.com/threads/what-should-i-do.25668/

(I just realized the Bullying thread is GONE! I had AWESOME stories written up in there WTF)

The coop gaming has been some of the funniest times I've had. I need to get my shit fixed so I can use a microphone again without having to tear my desk apart to get behind everything to open it up and plug it in directly.
