but, dont you believe im dreams?
always I want to be with you and make believe with you and live in harmony
hhhhharrrrrmony
but so anyway.
My thoughts are kind of jumbled since I dont really keep track of a lot of this crap.
I think helios started sun's cafe back in 05' which puts phase II at around 06', phase III at 08' and phase IV in 09' I think.
Sometime in between 08' and 10' there was a migration of users who formerly posted in sun's cafe towards 7th dimension and accelerated posting to the point where the 10 most recent posts function was unsuable (well it already had been at that point, but moreso)
At this point a few terms popped up that became popular amongst users.
The fbi posts, which were black context posts caused by the high activity would appear at the start of threads with the date January 1st 1970 or December 31st 1969 depending on your timezone.
>sniped and >is shot became a thing after a peak was reached in "describe the poster above you" at which users would post placeholder posts for upwards of 10-15 posts and later fill in the gaps because people couldn't message fast enough.
At this time, proboards had a "you cannot post again within 15 seconds" notice that half the regular posters would see on a regular basis.
multiple conversations would go on in several different threads running parallel to each other, too the point where random thoughts and forumite were pretty interchangeable except for some formatting.
at some point there was a serious of rage quits and nukes of accounts followed by new account creations by multiple users, I was one of those people.
anamesis
altosven
silverfish
necromesis
aeamesis
I think I had a few more, either way, what is now a punishable thing here used to be an everyday sort of thing for a long while, I mean, I think I left necromesis at 4444 posts and just sort of stopped using it.
speaking of posting, the previous highest rank for posting was at 2500 which was the dark six rank, emag later broke free from this and hit about 4000 posts at which point the triple dark six rank was created at about 5000 and he was the first to get there.
Later on users would post so heavily that this was increased to 3000 and 6000 respectively. I think Kenta ended his run at something like 30,000 posts, Me and ZeX were somewhere in the 20,000s and I think Lavender was at like 18K or something.
Something like that.
Sometime after the request a title thread I think I was one of the first to ask for a colored name after fiddling in another forum's admin tools and discovering that those color codes worked in titles, evo granted that request and that is why there was a ridiculous number of colored titles back then.
I think someone else did it before me though, but I posted so much it was pretty visible.
Random other mentionables
Esgalia's robot nasu should be remembered always.
I am pretty sure he also did a caption contest but that could have been someone else.
Evo held a contest once with prizes that I cannot remember but one of the entries was a remix of justice done by raf that was nothing but the word baka repeated over and over again.
Chaple, Elf, Me, and someone else were all involved in a round robin that never actually finished.
Rusco tried to commit suicide and had a mental breakdown.
Wingzero once sent me deaththreats over some contest or something, I dont remember, I think I cheated?
Lavender had a collection of plastic bottles she wouldn't throw away.
Mike ruined a game of mafia by being too damn logical. Also Detective Blackstone ruined it by being way too obvious.
Tonkatsu/Azure_Blade once met evospace on a trip to japan and was also responsible for the anonymous hentai thread...
He also suffered numerous pranks as I would sometimes get into his account and change his avatar/name to Elmo.
There was an ongoing joke in old sun's cafe about crown/ren having a sex tape on 4chan.
For some reason Mike really didn't like the character Dark Meat Queen Sakura.
Drmchii really likes butt plugs.
Emag used to post comics drawn by his sister.
Seru tried to start several RP's but nobody took him seriously because he took himself way too seriously.
Roadbuster is the greatest guy ever, arcade cabinets, and a motorcycle, bestest.
Verg Avesta wrote a novel and tried to get it published(?) I dont remember if he actually did.
Leon4281-Maxthehedgehog really liked klonoa, and sonic, and was weird. Really nice, but weird.
Koto's imouto was really popular for no particular reason.
Darkman used to chainsaw everyone in the introduction thread.
Lilith wears the pants.
Lacuna was formerly known as project M.I.L.K.
