Do you remember...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

It was the Alignment craze. Everybody wanted it, and Cliffjumper & Blacksword had to supply it. I like so many other n00bs asked for it in several threads.

"What the?! Is it something in the water or something?"

It's legend really.

My first post was about Time Wars, I had an argument with, BF! over megatron knowing that the pathblaster could kill him, thus triggering a memory in Galvatron, galvatron sensing his own desmise gets in the way.

Later on we know that this megs isnt the orginal megs and ...

Something on the original Transfans board (before it went all UBB) about the comic versus the cartoon. Hey, it was 1999, I was young...

It was about sexy boys, I think. :) A thread by Sexy D.

I was a bit annoyed that Dylan was spending so much time at Transfans, so had a look to see what it was all about.

I registered (first as OrionPax' girl because Dylan was OrionPax, but got my own name quite soon) and never left. :)

Sheesh. That's going back a while.

I don't have the foggiest ******* clue. Something newbie-esque about other folks from the UK maybe... or asking for info on Machine Wars. Or was that at the Archive?

Not a clue, and I think the old board (not the one previous to this, but the real old board) has gone now... I had it all bookmarked at home, but it was on the old domain, so it may have been wiped.
Grrr. Argh.

I don't remember really. I registered and replied to few threads right away. One was about pre-movie characters appearing in Season 3 and 4. There were also those two threads with the best/worst Transformer names.

Haven't a clue... probably a "get to know each other" thread, as I'd been at TFA for a bit then.

I think I did a "hello all" post - Besty complimented me on my screen name and I returned the compliment.

Pretty dull, really.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Well, it does have exceptionally firm breasts.

Wasn't your first post that wicked rap thing? Or did that come later? Do you still wear a barretta? I think that spelling's not quite to the letter.

About 2 months after the UBB board was implemented, I turned up here with a story I'd written and presented it to all and sundry :)

Happy days :)

Tee hee, I remember that like it was yesterday. I was very surprised about that.

I have no idea what I talked about. I think I simply introduced myself. Makes sense - when did I ever not talk about myself on this board? :lol: :D

Depends on the I.D-I think my first post ever was in the toy forums, because I was (at the time) trying to sort out my TF's for shifting on ebay.

My first post with this I.D was to defend The Great Lord, The Proud Wolf, The Honourable Ronin, The Songwriter of Unbelievable Profoundness...of course, you all know him as 'That **** Ishin'.

Back loooooong before the board went UBB it was pretty much only 5 or 6 actual members that posted regularly. If memory serves (and being like 6 or 7 years ago, it might not) the second person to post on the board was a guy who called himself Master Hauler. It might have been Big T or Wolfsbane, though.

I'm still waiting for Shockwave to claim responsibility.

Though Mad Brick would then likely say it was really Megatron.
