• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

You know you've been at TCoD too long when

does anyone remember the word ph34r
usually used with this emote

it was probably an internets-wide thing but i learnt it from tcod
 
I've been here since... 2006-2007? (I remember being at the forum before this one, the one that crashed years ago(if I remember correctly I was "Chibs" there), don't think I was on the IF forums though) But I never posted much on the old crashed forum I think

So, anyone remember the forum crash some years ago?

and oh god I remember me and eevee's "flamewar" in the lolcat bible thread. feels bad man

You know you've been at TCoD too long if you remember me best as "the guy who used four accounts to cheat at ASB".

Oh god I knew you as "the guy who self-nominated for ASB'er of the year" before I knew you as "the guy who runs the rankings".
 
Is it a 'who is the youngest' contest or something :? gosh i remember being like 11 and getting upset that a couple younger people were coming in. It was really silly in retrospect!
Also I'm obviously the ~*~*~*forum baby*~*~*~ and no one can top me


also i just remembered *bricked* and *shot* used to be everywhere

Not really, just kids getting upset at other kids over really petty things, the way kids do. (I guess I'm still technically a kid but you know what I mean right)

and oh man bricked and shot. Sometimes I get this weird compulsion to type *bricked* if I purposefully say something stupid or obvious, but I only just remembered where that dormant habit even came from.
 
I actually managed to spread *shot* to another forum that didn't previously know of it. I thought (until reading that post in this thread, actually) that *shot* was an omnipresent internet phenomenon - because from what I can remember TR'sRockin! had *shot* too (in retrospect, probably because of member overlap) so I took to using it in a lot of places, thinking it was normal. ... Until the day the admin of Wands and Worlds asked me what *shot* was supposed to mean and I found myself (poorly) attempting to explain its connotations. But now most people on that forum understand it so it's used there too.
My boyfriend actually uses it over text now.
 
I used to be 'attacked by random sniper' in intro threads back when I used to do special introductions to people.

TCoD had it's *shot* phase, and it's 'XD' phase where it was EVERYWHERE.

Had no clue it was made here either... I thought it was more of an internet-wide thing? I remember using it here and there, many places.

My goodness, it did. I used to criminally overuse XD. I mean, I still use it every now and then, but I think back in th' day, I'd use to to end just about every sentance, with bonus DDDDDDD's if something was especially funny.

I think my profile still claims I overuse the :3 smiley, which I'm reasonably sure I no longer do, but raises the question of what was with teenage-me and smileys?
 
I still use c: and :/ and :< in personal conversation but I kind of force myself not to use xD at this point. It just looks so ugly and reminds me of a time I was much more stupid.
 
Aww, I really miss xD and XD. I remember when XD went waaaaay out of fashion (around the same time hyphens became cooler to denote actions rather than asterisks) and then when both came back years later.

My favourite hobby is reminiscing about internet times gone by. It's just so fun!!
 
Does anyone remember when my grammar was eye-bleedingly horrible? (I sure hope not...) I mean it still is but at least nowadays I usually do that on purpose and I still don't really know some of the finer points of English grammar.

Oh and I used to be the most Sue-ish RPer.
 
gah, I keep seeing this thread and being weirded out that I've been playing Pokemon longer than some members have been alive.

I remember the rugrats porn incident, that thing where everyone had 'very___thx' names, that thing where some dude didn't pay purplekecleon for a commission and then she joined and some stuff happened, those few incidents where desolator would make like 30 accounts in one evening, that one time where someone was trying to botspam the forums and registration and posting were disabled, and the first OS? And all of these took place on VB because I'm not enough of an oldfriend :v

Which reminds me. Remember when Furret wrote a ridiculous fic about the forums being a school or something and it had a bunch of sexual innuendo involving you/Deretto and me/Nidokingu?
