The phrase "remember remember" is based on the gunpowder plot by Guy Fawkes but since he was a Catholic, I'd feel a bit ashamed to be associated with him. Also you didn't even get the date right. Just sayin'.

[Legend Zero]

Too bad the thread was deleted during the conversion.

 

It's a good story.

I am not cleaning up the floor again after that last time.

Eh, don't tell them. They would probably be too scared.

It was actually deleted beforehand by the mods. Ask one of them.

[Legend Zero]

Really? Hadn't looked for it in a long time so I guess it could have been.

Stuff happened in Decmeber 1rst.

[Juuzou]

Stuff happened in Decmeber 1rst.

 

Not sure if that was meant to be a question. :/

 

Yes, stuff did happen on december 1st

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

Even I don't know what happened on December 1st here. :T

 

I feel so out of the circle.

[Legend Zero]

How? You joined 4 days after me. XD

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

Maybe I just don't remember or something? xD

I've been here for a while, so I doubt I've missed it, but still.

 

Wanna PM me what happened so I can sleep tonight without wondering~?

[CinnamonStar]

Well by boasting it around to new members it's going to make them realize that we're really a pathetic and retarded bunch that even tries to make up its own "history" on an Internet forum.:/ Strange after seeing so many of you post "what have you done on YCM? -nothing, there's nothing you can do on a stupid Internet site". So where the hell are the freaking "history" and awesome actions on this site?

 

Also that Guy Fawkes person from the gunpowder complot who everyone wants to "remember remember~" was an angsty Catholic an hero whose ugly face is burned every year. And a bunch of angsty teenagers/or a single angsty teenager, I don't remember, who probably haven't even saved a cat IRL, let alone blown up a real corrupt government in the real world, trying to imitate an angsty Catholic British guy on an Internet forum and by even getting the freaking date wrong (it's "remember remember the 5th of November"), now that's being an hero. I don't want to associated with something like that.:S

 

Did anyone of you think about the victims of AIDS or wear the red ribbon today?

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

I actually wore red today and bought a button for it. Didn't have a red ribbon on me, so I did what I could do though.

 

Also, today's the first day of Hanukkah. That's important around too, I guess :T

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

Remember, remember, the 1st of December. Opalmoon's time of the month.

[Juuzou]

it's "remember remember the 5th of December")

 

It's November, but thanks for trying :D

 

EDIT: does anyone still have a copy of it? I'm pretty sure alfred has one, but he might've deleted it.

[CinnamonStar]

My mistake, fixed it.

But yeah the sentence is based on the ugly guy, at least that's the only rhyme I know of. I still think you're being an hero (you as a general pronoun) if you're using an angsty Catholic guy as an analogy for some bad imitation you did on the Internet rather than in real life and I still think that people should better focus on the World AIDS Day, it's a bigger problem right now.

 

Also my time of the month starts in 2 weeks, thank you.

[Smear]

Also my time of the month starts in 2 weeks, thank you.

 

I live with my mum and sister, and their time's in two weeks.

In two weeks, guess who's gunna be in a living hell? :D

The only thing everyone and anyone else who reads this is wondering; how do you know when your mother and sister start their periods? Can you just tell or have you like marked it down on your calendar or something? .-.

 

OT: The date is wrong as it should be "remember, remember the 1st of November" unless you did that intentionally to make it an obvious date or whatever. Anyhow, I don't know what happened this time last December as I wasn't here, and to be honest I'm not too bothered, although it is nice that people try to remember and give this site a history.

 

The people who say "I've done nothing for the retarded site" or whatever like Opalmoon said, are just the grumpy old men/women of YCM.

Remember Remember the 1st of December was the thread title of said event, which is why everyone refers to it as such.

 

I also agree with the bold.

[Mehmani]

What happened on the 1st of December? A member (who will remain nameless due to fear of punishment) didn't like the way he was treated by the Moderators. He thought them incompetent and above the law themselves. He spoke out, they framed him and punished him. He complained, they silenced him. They hoped that eventually he would be forgotten. He isn't yet, but seeing as the vast majority of YCM at the moment is made up of hipsters who post-spam and act like they are somehow elite (the term "noob" or "newfag" springs to mind, a small memory from my 4chan days), it won't be long. They will win.

Which is why we take December 1st to celebrate his courage and honor his memory.

@Alfred: Just because an apple is rotten, doesn't mean you're free to let the rest go to waste. (I'll leave it up to you to decipher what I mean by it).

 

Oh and December 1st is the start of my favorite month, my original online name was Decemberking way back in 2002 :P. Also the birthdate of my 3 blood siblings, hanai brother and celebration of a new year. (My birthday and the Celebration Starts on the same day).
