Tales of The Forum

That they did. Louisville tried to hang with us, but not as long as IU did. That buzzer beater ruined my night though. And I knew the buzzer beater was going in when he caught the ball, too. I got up and left the TV when it went up. :banghead:

I was in tears. Second greatest sporting event moment I have witnessed. The best was seeing Cal Ripken Jr. hit a walk off home run in 1999 in Camden Yards.
 
I actually still do streams of it for AES from time-to-time. I'm considering doing a proper Let's Play of it for SomethingAwful, because I think it's basically the funniest bad game I've ever played.

This thread has brought back plenty of memories. I had forgotten about TM until a little while ago when I was talking to Showtime about WZCW on Skype, and then all the memories came flooding back.

As for Rep-Gate/MSN-gate, since KB has his facts mixed up:

Repgate: TM and some other posters all rep each other to get TM to the top of the ranks in order to make him a mod. I believe this was during the start of my time so I wasn't really around for it, but that's the long and short of it. There's something about them thinking Becca was useless in there, as well.

MSN-gate: TM talked to a lot of people on MSN and would sometimes imitate other users using their real names and personal information. One such happening was him pretending to be Slyfox to me, using his real name. He'd also sometimes send pictures of users to people on MSN, playing "Guess The User". He also found out NSL's parents' address. Anyway, shortly after I became mod, Slyfox found out about TM's impersonation of him, and at least on the surface it looked like things blew up between them, TM said something about not wanting to be on staff anymore, and if I'm remembering correctly IC asked him if he was sure and then TM didn't respond for a week and was never seen again.

To be honest, I'd rather not remember most of the things I was involved in back in the day. I was a stupid teenager. A very stupid teenager.

If there was one thing I would make sure no one forgot it would be the time JKO emailed a scan of his school ID to xfear, proving that he was, in fact, 12.

This would be hilarious if it wasn't a sign of things to come. He impersonated different posters and started using real names on the forums, which drew the ire of many.

Also, I wasn't here for it, but man... FromTheSouth went from one of the go to guys around here to gone in an instant. FTS was the JGlass of 2010.
 
Doc making a thread about Lacey Von Erich having a farting gimmick or something to that effect. People defending the idea seriously and Doc saying he made it to take the piss was one thing I remember
 
Tenta entertained us with a story on how he managed to hook up with a girl by breaking the ice with an Earthquake/John Tenta figure.

Oh and Liger beating Shawn Michaels in the WZ tourney...

HBK lost to CM Punk this year as well, IIRC. For somebody who gets called "Mr. Wrestlemania", he has a bad track record on the smarky side of the street.
 
I want to hear more about the days of Disco/Konnan on these here forums. I know that Xfear had Konnan thinking he was gay for him or something.
 
Disco was a nice guy and answered whatever you asked.

Konnan was a racist homophobe who answered questions but didn't say much.

Kevin Kelly was nice, polite and answered anything.
