Favorite Simtropolis Moments!

[DuskTrooper 316]

(Yes I searched. No, I did not find anything.)
So, anyway...do you have any great moments/memories of events and stuff that happened in your membership here? Sometimes, its fun to look back, so post your ST memories here!

This must be the best thread ever:
Samantha, I need to ask you a question.



Well, looking back it's always fun to read the old We're 10,000 members! threads.

[M-SIL 2]

the time I created the S-37 Vs. F-22 thread about a year ago, that thread spark a really good discussion not only about those two fighterjet but also other fighterjets too.  I wish I could back that thread but it's too old now.

Rybolton proposing to Samantha on here is one of my favorite moments too...   always awesome when two good people find each other and help complete each other's lives  

[masher 3]

Hmmm....there is ONE moment that made me OH SO happy....

But I won't say what it was because I'd get attacked by the gnomes....
Anyway...yes...I think The Ry+Sam marriage thread was cute and one of the best!!...

[dudyconstructor 46]

best time ever was before january 2005 and when ry asked sam to marry him

[ephorex_77 0]

*Sigh*...I wish I had been on ST when that happened.

I haven't been active on ST for that long, but I'd have to say that the early days were good, back in '03. We only had a couple of thousand members then and it was really fun. I can't really think of a specific moment as I always lurked and never actually got involved.

 

The pain of wasted time...

When ST hit 5,000 members, it was a big deal. I think there was a party and all.

[DuskTrooper 316]

My favorite times were probably the early days of BAT, of course. Everything was soo hap'nin back then!

[PhilsCafe 8]

The proposal was also the first thing that came in my mind.

You peaple sound like that you think Simtropolis has passed its golden age and it is not as good as it was. Do you really think that?

 

I havent got any fantastic memories yet because I have only just joined Simtropolis. Doing my first post(s) in City Journals is my best memory so far.

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

A few things come to mind.

The Ry-Sam proposal is way up there, obviously.  The first Golden Llama Awards were a lot of fun.  Some might remember the Rush Hour giveaway almost 2 years ago.  There's a lot more but I can't list them all.

because i joined after all of that stuff going on, i'd say any funny pic of masher, like this one:

 

 

thanx hummer0328 for the pic, and for making me laugh till i wet my pants!

[SimMaster 17]

There were tons of great things happening back then. The Rush Hour giveaway, I remember. And the member milestones too.

[RadioheadFan 1]

Hmmm...you all make me mad at myself for not having joined back in 2003...

Favorite moment while I've been here would have to be...all the ST Trivia Games. We had so much fun with those...*coughahemcough*

[cheese91 9]

Though i have only been here for a few months, there have been some good moments-

-When J_O_ and i got married

-ST trivia (i agree RHF)
-**i read the thread after it happened** ryboltons proposal to Samantha

 

[ert90 8]

Simtropolis's trip to Maxis was a big one nobodys mentioned yet (seeing Dirk for the first time).

 

The Trixie Awards were great the first time around.  The proposal was amazing.  The Rush Hour Giveaway was pretty cool too.

Yeah, I definately do. ST's golden age was during 2003, or at least in my opinion. It'll never be close to what it was back then.

In fact, I come here less and less now because this place is so far from what it used to be. Although dirk has done an amazing job in making this a great site, everything changes and ST is no exception.

[GingerBlokey 30]

Ry & Sam

No doubt about it.

Although I did enjoy the Trixies.

[samantha 138]

hehe, you guys are all so sweet!  I think my favorite moments on Simtrop have to be the Tiplick thread - which was quite a hoot, and had me in stitches when I read it! The trip to Maxis, the Trixies and of course Ryans very sweet thread 

 

There have been so many great moments on this site though, its hard to narrow them down to just a few favorites.

 

 

[ephorex_77 0]

Ah, at last samantha herself commenting on this thread . A VERY belated congratulations .

And what exactly was the tiplick thread?? I missed out on a lot over the years .

 

Yes, I agree with comdude's comments that ST's golden age was during 2003 and thereabouts. Undoubtedly, we've got way better BATs, los and modds now, but it has to be said that the general feeling of amity and fun was was more tangible back then. I dug up some old posts made by the admins and dirk in early 2003 and the posts were all so light-hearted.

 

Even when I joined up, ST was still a very open and fun place. I only regret not sticking to ST when I could.

[huskerman007 26]

Ah 2003 was an awesome year for simtropolis. I remember there was so much going on back then. My best memory is the trixe awards and some of the great posts that were made in 2003.

[MrCinatit 30]

not only was Rybolton's proposal to Samantha great, but it was fascinating watching the steps preceding...his freedom from horror before, and the dress on eBay.

there would also be the April Fools joke the year before this year, when Dirk had many believing the site had been taken over by EA, complete with angry resignations by most of the staff

the exciting early days of the Lots, then the BATs...and the continued creations which continue.

the release of such terrain modifications such as the snow-cap, desert, rain, and cycledogg.

[Glenni 1,447]

well i do remember the samantha proposal.  and why did dirk change the look of the site?i liked the old one better....

Im sure most people did but this look saves dirk some money because it doesnt require as many resources.

[thatmonkeysim 8]

Sam and Ryan...

April Fools 2004...

NAM...

ST 4.0...

The Noise Button when ST was down in 3.0...

Admin/Op Parties in the old days...

...hmm... there are a few more but i dont remember them... man ive been here too long!

[villarule 2]

yea, april fools '04 was great fun

the golden llamas 2003 was very intersted as i had only recently joined,

 

i think the most recent highlight (apart from the obvious marriage)  is the recent influx in custom member labels, a lot of fun

[newy2 0]

i'd say ry proposing to sam but besides that i reckon the nam and st 4.0 as pretty big too.
