Memories

So now that we know for a fact that CPP is pretty much dead, what are your greatest memories on the forum? Discuss.

I remember the day I joined, the forum was active/actively updated and the three top admins were Cj, JazzDawg, and RTL. Those were the good times.

When I joined, it was the 2nd day the forum was opened and then a few days later I became a mod for 11 months. During that time, we had the best admins (no offense) and by far our most active months gathering anywhere from 20000-50000 posts. I also remember starting GFX in that time, and when the forum was hacked. We still don't even know who did it or how it was done, but Dark came back and fixed it. It was just more fun back then, a lot of people were here and I got to know practically everyone. We had our first Halloween theme and name changing thing. I was still interested in the game back then and having a few mature users who also kept up with the game was helpful to say the least. I was also making CPMVs then, it feels like forever ago. Over 3 years I have been on this forum. Since so much has happened in my life since then, it is a lot to think about. This forum was my escape 3 years ago, and now I feel obligated to come on here, just to make sure something that helped me escape during the time of my life where I was going through the most changed in my life is still here.

I see what you're saying. I feel like I want to leave, but so much of my life has changed since then so I still come on because I know that I can always feel like the past on CPP.

It's a very broad recollection, but I think my fondest memory was seeing the community's spirit back in the days of Brian and BabyCP... we knew that the ship was sinking, but people pulled together and had a good time regardless. I could never replicate that, however hard I tried.
Nice avatar, by the way.
