Nostalgia
It's weird when the places you frequented back in the day just disappear. I thought of the Team17 forum for the first time in a while recently. Tried to check it out; turns out it's been closed for four years. Lots of great posts there that are now gone forever. But hey, apparently I still have an account here. This place has the feel of a bunch of old regulars who remember the Good Times at their favorite bar which no longer exists.
Also weird that I was basically a kid for most of the time I was active there. Now I'm a grown-ass man. Yet the memories, they beckon.
So, back into it once more. For nostalgia's sake. Remember when I threw a shit fit and was the drama queen of the century when Open Discussion was briefly made public back on the old forums? Good times.

Re: Nostalgia
I remember it well. Welcome back.
Has it really been four years? Crazy...
Edit: Not according to my signature, but the time has flown.

Yeah, how silly we were thinking it would last...
Welcome anyways!

Re: Nostalgia
The FutureWorm vs Plasma slapfights will never be forgotten. Welcome back into the fold. You will never leave.
It's been 3 years since the Team17 Forum shut down and 15 years since it all started. Time is a weird mistress.

Garn, I remember registering when it initially opened. Blimey.
There was a period of time when the forum was the only bit of the site that appeared to be active...!

so what's everyone up to these days? i'm in new york now and having some success here and there as a theatre director. pickleworm was a groomsman at my wedding a few years ago if you can believe that
Re: Nostalgia
Well that's pretty cool. Seems like he's been too busy to check in online at all in the last couple of months. I'll assume this means he's doing pretty well for himself, so I can't grumble too much about that.FutureWorm wrote: so what's everyone up to these days? i'm in new york now and having some success here and there as a theatre director. pickleworm was a groomsman at my wedding a few years ago if you can believe that

Re: Nostalgia
Going through this archive is the greatest. I'm realizing that the Team17 Forum served almost exclusively as an outlet for a lot of my adolescent rage while I was 16 and 17, and I owe everyone a deep apology for that.
Remember yauhui and company? Shadowmoon? Remember the HaK Gaming Forum (http://z15.invisionfree.com/HaK_Gaming_Forum/)? This is the _best_.
Also, holy shit, all the Hell Yeah Crew comics are in this archive. I thought they were lost and gone forever. Remember these?

Re: Nostalgia
Man, high school wasn't anything like that for me.
I remember drawing Yauhui's sigworm way back when and he put it in his signature. I was so proud because he called me "great" but now that I look back on it, he was obviously being sarcastic. Literally all I had was MSPaint and I recall asking everyone what they used to draw. That was the first time I had ever heard of Wacom...

Re: Nostalgia
Remember Plasma and Kelster's nauseating declarations of public love? Remember how he saved up all that money to go see her, only for her to dump his sorry ass? Holy shit, it's all coming back to me.
Re: Nostalgia
THYC was one of the very best things ever to happen to the old forum.

Re: Nostalgia
Looking through the archive a little closer, it looks like only Pickleworm's comics were saved for some reason. Does anyone happen to have the ones I made?

Re: Nostalgia
I'm sure they're all archived somewhere or another. I'll see if I can find the lot.FutureWorm wrote:Looking through the archive a little closer, it looks like only Pickleworm's comics were saved for some reason. Does anyone happen to have the ones I made?

Re: Nostalgia
If I recall correctly, he was from Scotland and she was from Australia, so he saved up all this money and flew out there, and once they met in person it was just a catastrophe.Cisken1 wrote:Oh I think I remember this!

Reminds me of that reality show on MTV called "catfish"...

Re: Nostalgia
i forgot all about plasma and kelster. are they still around in any form? what a trip, bummer that it was such a disaster
hi everyone. sorry for falling off the face of the earth kinda, i was / still am just very strongly up in my own little world these days and a big hermit with my new job.
i remember when i got extremely obsessed with the t17 forum i was 11 dang years old. i still have no idea why i focused on that, of all things, but i'm glad i did. i need to comb through these attachments and see what comics i can unearth
