I have tried very hard to add to those 2 but I cant think of anything else.

Someone needs to keep a log next year.

I don't recall if anything special really happened on this day or if there were just a lot of people around, but the day that we made a collective 700 posts with less than 20 people in a single day was pretty memorable to me. Laughing

we'll see if we can top that Twisted Evil

by Eldorion Mon Nov 25, 2013 5:00 pm

We had like 400 just a couple of days ago. The forum is still getting larger and more active, albeit at a very uneven rate and with occasional dips.

The day Dave pointed out to Petty what it felt like on the other side of crabbit was pretty memorable to me, but I don't think that could be called a Forumshire moment.

There was the systematic extinction of the Banks clan, but it didn't take.

I hereby nominate the Great Forumshire Crapfest.

Does that officially count as Norcing or was it something else entirely?

The .gif war could be a moment, but that kind of fizzled out.

by Norc Mon Nov 25, 2013 6:31 pm

That was fun. Very Happy

by bungobaggins Mon Nov 25, 2013 6:42 pm

I'm planning on doing a .gif review (or at least a review with a lot of gifs in it) for DOS, whenever I get to see it.

Yeah, I thought the .gif war was fun, too. Apparently Norc doesn't think it's good enough to make the list.

Maybe that's because she lost. Trollface

by Norc Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:13 pm

i did not loose!

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:23 pm

Yeah Gif war could mke the list.

No it bloody well doesnt! Mad

I cant believe after all this time the understanding of crabbit is still so low Mad

I try to help you, but... (go read my Macbeth parody for a better understanding Halfy as its a meditation on the misuse of crabbit and I fear you need guidance still)

by Lancebloke Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:27 pm

The yanks will never understand Petty. All stars and stripes and American dreams over there. Give up!!

by halfwise Mon Nov 25, 2013 8:03 pm

Whaddya talking about? Petty is embedded in American folklore, red hair, argumentativeness, funny talking and all.

i support this.

Would it be good idea to maybe add a best parody award to the the original stories categories this year? Shrugging

There's certainly a few of them that has cropped up.

It would be a shame if either no original story or any of the parodies should be honoured.

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Dec 09, 2013 12:31 pm

I think splitting the many stories on here into categories is a good idea- bet parody, best serial, best standalone story (I dont think we have enough 'serious' stuff for a best drama Shrugging

) best play- the Archet Bugle has at least one I can think of, and I did the WotW one noone read? Mad

Best poem/song?

Any more suggestions?

We will need to finalise the categories within the next week ideally.

by azriel Mon Dec 09, 2013 12:44 pm

What was the "WotW" ? did I miss something ? I try to read as much as I can, & so far its a tough call, all stories are so good & Ive enjoyed reading them all........even Orwell !
