Title: Just got an awesome flashback! Post by: Pokito on 20 April 2022, 04:57:22 Hi everyone! I just recalled something that happened quite some time ago here in the MMM:
Back in the days of AIM and noisy modems, there was this countdown going on at the title of the site. I clearly remember that I was checking the forums, and when I refreshed the page, the title changed into a big announcement with yellow letters, and "The Final Countdown" started playing. That was pretty awesome!! I always have that very cool memory from here as a kid. I think that I asked Abe or Xero about it, and one of them told me that I'd found early on about something in the site, and I felt really happy about that back then! Does anybody have any recollection of this? Title: Re: Just got an awesome flashback! Post by: TheRedPriest on 20 April 2022, 20:13:09 I don't recall that at all.

Post by: Pokito on 21 April 2022, 04:17:45 Yes, it's super odd, because I do remember the music playing and all, and the logo changed to yellow or red, but I just don't remember what the event was about. I think there was going to be a new feature in the board, and Abe held a countdown until the big reveal. Or there was going to be a new version of it-- something along that. But overall it's a really fun thing that I remember, the forum was very vibrant and those were really nice times.
