Famous IWF Moments - Page 2

The first Cloudy cafe, sure some imitations came along in the form of Psycho Butterfly's bar or Gwahanos Tavern in hell but Cloudy's was the first zone where people could get a chance to know one another without spamming other threads.
Charlie's house of shite is a peersonal favourite of mine.

And like Azure said the September 11th attacks did change Ironworks for a while, people were more aggresive really an less understanding of people views, and then the Was forum opened which was really just pouring oil on the flames. In theory the forum was a good idea as general discussion got cluttered up with war threads but in practice it became a breeding ground for flaming. Thankfully Ironworks returned to normal and here we are.

BTW I also used to like the Lord Shiled bar threads, that was great stuff

I used to lurk in the times of Charlie's Shoppe of Shite (when I wasn't a member yet) and those threads were absolutely classic. Also Lord Shield's bar, PB's bar, and of course Lioness' (pool) parties were also fun - and probably where I made my first thousand posts or so [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I loved Rikards' bunny thread too. You clicked on the subject title and all it said was 'Bunny!!!' with several bunny smilies underneath. That thread got hundreds of posts and I'm sure nobody even knows why [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, I'm not all that old either, but the things I remember for better or worse are the infamous Brits thread, and the incredibly amusing marriage of Yorick and Silver Cheetah. Whatever did happen to the bride (Neb?...) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Thats because we had to kill every last one of them, those damn bunnies. Eventually Link or Neb killed the head bunny and the reign of terror ended (it had NOTHING to do with Ziroc and Memnoch telling us off for spreading the bunny jokes to other threads, honest! [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
The most terrifing thing in that era was the fact that Rikard had a bunny in his sig for ages...that was strange.

Ehhh.... Don't listen to the rumours, I did not run off with the bride and leave Yorick with the maid of honour(Cloudy [img]tongue.gif[/img] )....

Barry here has also contributed his share of funny IWF moments with his witty jokes.

And who could forget the day we took the forum hostage, and got Cloudlet to sing for all of us. I still have the .WAV file if anyone wants to listen to a sultry temptress sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR PRESIDENT" [img]graemlins/dance.gif[/img] .

Lord Shield, do you still have those screenshots?

would you mean the ones Slackerboy kindly hosted here?

I also recall the inter-forum pillow fighting and thye fluffy war over Melusine's hamster

My tavern lasted about a dozen threads too

. I compiled all the links in one thread on GD a week or so ago so it must be about somewhere (down the back of the sofa maybe)

I remember on the blue board the "Big Fight" between myself, BK, Helfire, Moridin and Grey Mage and some other passers by

and darker times too. Such as when BM, CAleb, myself & Z were defending Ziroc (IW) from Ken (TeamBG)
