Wahrheit Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 As a new member, I've been going through some old threads and seeing what kind of hilarious stuff I can dig up. Every site has it, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for and all the old history threads are deprecated. So guys, weave me your golden memory webs and tell me about the times that once were. I'm eager to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/39541-a-chronicle-of-ycm/ But that only covers the very beginning. I could tell you more, but it depends on what you want to know. And I probably wouldn't get all the facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinnamonStar Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 [s]New member, riiight...>_>[/s] Well the site used to be on myBB before YCMaker moved it to IPB. On the old site you could rep people, not just their posts and give a reason. Some features are new and more practical here, others aren't available now at all. General had a lot of events, like the Awards, holiday events, the lottery, YCM's Got Talent and stuff. People come and go, right now I'd say the nicer people are rare, but it has pretty much stayed the same. There's always the drama and butthurt/corruption stuff but the smarter people tend to look past it. But to know the history of CC, GFX and whatnot, you should ask people who post in those forums.

Catman25 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Edit: Ninja'd Well it depends who you talk to. Some people say Draco was the most famous, some people think he was the most infamous. Same with Crab, and a bunch of the other mods. There were I think a couple of major trollers and perhaps hack threats in the past, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ragnarok (with some numbers) is permabanned and got into the finals of the most popular member. Crazy stuff. There were also a lot of protests from other people about his ban since he was/is both popular and hated by others. Draco is one of the highly-regarded members in terms of GFX, but lowly-regarded when it comes to taking the Internet a bit too seriously.;D At least in the eyes of the more mature people. Actually most highly-regarded people are at the same tie lowly-regarded in some other departments. I'd say in terms of lowly-regarded, it's logically the people who can't get over a ban that usually isn't even their own and think YCM is like real-life city with real administration and politics who drag that kind of reputation on themselves. There were surely some other permabans that caught some attention, probably before I joined the site and back when it was on even another server.

MarbleZone Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 From what little I remember, Ragnarok1945's posts were on-topic, just made at an alarmingly high rate, and naturally nothing very constructive. Regardless, he wasn't theoretically breaking any rules, since he wasn't exactly spamming. I may be way off here, since I really didn't pay much attention to him back then, so he might have actually done something more serious down the line.

Toffee.

[/quote] Crystal Beasts are the best deck. Card Trooper is fine at 2, because every deck is immune to it(This YCMeme is somewhat obsolete, as the latest banlist actually does have Card Trooper @2) Larvae Moth is truly the worst card ever made. Shapesnatch is an awesome card, and any deck that can run it as part of the win condition, and efficiently do so, wins the internet. Sparks and Ookazi are awesome ways to finish a duel. Blue-Eyes White Dragon can defeat everything. Judgment Dragon is a terrible card because it mills good cards like Sakuretsu Armor. The account name Yugiohoverlord is a walking meme. Pot of Greed is a meme. BKSS = Because Konami Said So -> Only reason behind BS rulings. XX-Saber Faulttroll's name is really XXX-Gayber Failtroll. Six Samurais can be referred to as Six Spamurais. Off the top of my head, these are various jokes/memes that occasionally go through YCM. (..mostly the TCG section) some of these are older then others, and only work really work if the topic calls for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Porn raids. Lots and lots of porn raids. Stupid people. That hasn't changed, but it somewhat has. Back in the day, stupid people would post threads in General and memebers like myself would get a kick out of trolling 'em. Now stupid members only post in threads instead of making threads about random bullshit. Half-Vamp Riku and supersepiroth. Good times. Coolios. Great times. Back when Corporal Atlas reigned as the best fanfic writer of [b]all time[/b]. THE ADVENTURE OF HUNTAR THE SAVAGE. Speaking of that, terrible General mods. Huntar and Icy were terrible. Icy is a better CC mod, fo' sho'. GOOD THREADS IN GENERAL. A lot of stuff we have in General now is terrible in terms of material, and Debates actually had smart people. What a shock, I know.
