This is the first time in 3 years that I have done this. Post all of the reasons why you think 2006 was a great year for the FF. I know it may be a little early, but better early than late, eh? Anyway, I thought 2006 was a great year because:

-The forum received a major facelift, as well as new features.
-Boo_Penguin was "the man" in the chatroom
-We had a wealth of quality members join the forums.
-New boards.

bobman37 · « **Reply #1 on:** December 19, 2006, 11:47:04 PM »

Don't those happen every year, minus maybe the forum "facelift"?

BP · « **Reply #2 on:** December 20, 2006, 12:05:25 AM »

If you mean the move from the old primitive cave-board, that was last year.

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #3 on:** December 20, 2006, 12:16:01 AM »

And I think the only new board is Game Blog.

I nominate the awesome return of Eclipsed Moon to be added to the list.

TEM · « **Reply #4 on:** December 20, 2006, 12:24:54 AM »

Wealth of quality members? I want to see a list.

Video Game Chat was spawned from General Chat.

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #6 on:** December 20, 2006, 01:54:35 AM »

A necessary middle ground.

Glorb · « **Reply #7 on:** December 20, 2006, 08:58:10 AM »

Hmm...not to be pessimistic, by which I mean I do, but not a whole lot of notable stuff happened FF-wise in '06. I mean, yeah, there was the boo_penguin thing, but that's all I can recall...

Oh, wait! I remember! Exploding Barrels and the FF were mentioned on Wikipedia on their page on fictional games.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #8 on:** December 20, 2006, 11:59:12 AM »

No doubt put there by someone here, so what's the big deal?

The Chef · « **Reply #9 on:** December 20, 2006, 01:50:08 PM »

I joined.

Robert · « **Reply #10 on:** December 20, 2006, 02:33:33 PM »

I joined this year, as well.

I was actually lurking for 2 or 3 years, but due to reasons beyond my control (didn't have an email adress ):), I couldn't join.On the other hand, a lot of good members joined this year, so I guess I registered at the right time :D.

Don't forget that Luigison had a daughter earlier in the year.

He wasn't exactly "the man" in the forums.

I joined this year, on January 2nd. Yay?

Bird Person and I created the Angst and Hopeful thread. Does that count as something good for 2006?

Well he didn't have a good night's sleep.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2006, 01:37:12 AM »

Lets see...

Luigison is a dad, Mr.Melee is an uncle, Boo_penguin post on the forums, I've become a good member instead of a horrid n00B with
bad grammar, we have ALL improved, Khold left us :(...I'll think of more later.

I'll finish the darn story! I've just been having a hectic life, and now that I've had some time to relax, I'm working on the next chapter.

Anyway...hilights of 2006...I can't think of any. Except there were lots of a screen-name changes. It was almost a trend.

Jman · « **Reply #30 on:** December 27, 2006, 12:50:56 AM »

Not to mention the custom title wars.

SushieBoy · « **Reply #31 on:** December 27, 2006, 02:02:45 AM »

CT wars? Why wasn't I informed???

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #32 on:** December 28, 2006, 01:05:19 PM »

Simply because they did not happen.

Jman · « **Reply #33 on:** December 28, 2006, 01:11:29 PM »

Okay, maybe they weren't "wars," but there definitely was a time when they were being given out, sometimes as humiliation, in response to what some people said.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #34 on:** December 28, 2006, 01:40:35 PM »

That's how custom titles are used on forums.

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #35 on:** December 28, 2006, 02:09:23 PM »

I was perfonally a fan of the degrading CT's. They put people in their places, and shut them up if they said stupid things.

BP · « **Reply #36 on:** December 28, 2006, 02:23:57 PM »

I agree, especially for those who got that CT, "Banned."

SolidShroom · « **Reply #37 on:** December 28, 2006, 03:51:37 PM »

The degrading CTs didn't really work on some folks though (think coolkid).

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #38 on:** December 28, 2006, 05:35:29 PM »

The outcomes of the negtive CTs were threefold. All had a positive impact on the community.
1. The member would leave on his own.
2. The member would do something stupid, and then be banned.
3. The member would reform his/her ways, and would become a good member of the community.

I, thus, never had a problem with them.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #39 on:** December 29, 2006, 02:15:34 PM »

Does Mario Maniac continuing his propogandaish posts about both Sony and Nintendo and still not being banned yet count for anything?

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #40 on:** December 29, 2006, 02:56:44 PM »

Does [insert any of long list of certain forumgoers] continuing his propogandaish posts about both Sony and Nintendo and still not being banned yet count for anything?

Jman · « **Reply #41 on:** December 29, 2006, 07:04:18 PM »

Huh, I was also a receiver of a custom title at one time. I think it came because I said something along the lines of "I'd hate to have a negative CT."

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #42 on:** December 29, 2006, 07:47:19 PM »

You guys are lucky to even have one.

SushieBoy · « **Reply #43 on:** December 30, 2006, 02:14:23 AM »

I had a CT once, but know, it's lost in the woods, and I can't find it..

I think 2006 was a great year for threads and more in depth discussions. Lets just say it seemed a lot less immature around here after the face lift.

On the topic of custom titles, I'm glad mine's gone. It kinda bugged me and made me feel like a bad person.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #50 on:** December 30, 2006, 11:08:52 PM »

I really didn't understand my CT. I guess it meant my speech profiled me???

Prolific as in plentiful. If I may say so, you used to post at an obnoxiously fast rate.

superstarMASIAH · « **Reply #52 on:** December 31, 2006, 12:52:04 PM »

I found out from the personality survey that I could be a deviant, is that good or bad, I have found in some cases it could be a turn off?

GiftedGirl · « **Reply #53 on:** December 31, 2006, 03:10:26 PM »

It could be either or. I'll look it up...

deviant: one who deviates

deviate: to differ, as in thought or belief

superstarMASIAH · « **Reply #54 on:** January 01, 2007, 12:28:37 PM »

Nevermind, I looked it up and I'm not. It could be bad, or just awkward, but I'm not.

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #55 on:** January 02, 2007, 09:53:50 AM »

Heh. It seems I win the contest of "Degrading" CTs.

Quote

Mr.Melee Not Member of the Year // Nostalgia delusional // Super Smash Bother // Every other turn // Uncle

However, I was an uber n00b at the time, mixing up the definitions of "fourm" and "chatroom" (I was actually a computer newb at the time, too). I have since then apologized. And if I haven't, I am sorry.

Hmm. A lot of great things have happened in the year 2006. Yes, we had a lot of good members and bad members turned good, many good topics (but more bad ones), But, we did have events that did stick out, Including: TEM's picture of his dog with the rainbow background; fuzzy; Fungi High; and Sapphira's vacation in Washington. I am certain there are many others that I cannot name right now. Nonetheless, a good year it was for The Mushroom Kingdom.

I learned panache from Mario & Luigi, I believe. I had to look up "medias res" because the context didn't seem specific enough, but yes, I learned something new!

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #86 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:05:46 PM »

I learned panache from Calvin & Hobbes.

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #87 on:** January 09, 2007, 09:31:53 PM »

I am willing to bet that is a latin term.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #88 on:** January 09, 2007, 11:01:15 PM »

Looks like it was, originally.

[Origin: 1545–55; var. (after F) of pennache, French, from Italian pinnacchio, plume, from Late Latin pinn?culum, diminutive of Latin pinna, feather, wing; see pet- in Indo-European roots.]

Sapphira · « **Reply #89 on:** January 17, 2007, 05:58:53 AM »

XD to Markio and Red's replies.

"In medias res" is a cool term. I think I learned it in middle school or freshman year of HS.
