Nov 9, 2007 - RFS' CP Forums Time Machine (tm) [56K go back to the stone age]

[Dracophile]

Club Penguin debuted on Miniclip in March 2006 and a forum quickly followed. Some of the first users to actually start posting there were veterans of the Miniclip community, which were quickly displaced by new Club Penguin players. Not too many people are still around from those days but can you guess who is? Yeah, I am. From May 2006 I took a front row seat calling the shots in the Club Penguin forums and I got to see and witness all of the forum history... and guess what? I've got the pictures to prove it.

"lol beans" - May 16th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/lolbeans.png
This was posted to help get a "funniest CP picture" contest started. No, I didn't win. Not even with an orange username.

RFS' Igloo - June 21st, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/myhouse.png
This was posted in one of those "show your igloo" threads. Fun Fact: I'm a nonmember, my igloo looks the same today!

Old MS Paint CP Avatars - Various 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/banner.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/sherrif.png
I drew these spanning a few months in 2006 and used them on the forums. The first one was the "Waddle On" drawing, followed by the evil red eye penguin that was accompanied with a "Spammers & Flamers, Beware!" title. The penguin holding the fake gun had a "THAT DARN PENGUIN" title that also carried over into the crossing guard avatar. I don't know what the sheriff one was for.

The RFS Plush Penguin - 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/rfsplush.jpg
As seen in the videos Arbitrary Club Penguin Movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx-IYWwQssc) and making an encore in RFS' 2006 Tribute To Club Penguin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s96DHC0SCc), this picture was posted as part of a prank luring users into thinking there was actually an RFS penguin for sale. This was posted before the CP Online Shop was even around, and the thread was canned by New Horizon Interactive because they thought I was leaking top secret information... I was just being stupid at a bad time!

The Original Dragministrator - August 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/rfsadmin.gif
Heh, I am sure we all remember THIS, right?

"Oh God Ben, they're EVERYWHERE!" - September 6th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/everywhere.png
This was a signature of mine that was used when Club Penguin was becoming too large to keep contained in one Miniclip subforum.

"Just another day at work." - September 21st, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/another_work.png
This was a second signature that I never used for obvious reasons. It was a statement about all of the spam and popularity threads surrounding that ridiculous Party Hat.

Rocketsnail.com Screenshot - ???
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/preview.jpg
Unlike what the news stamp says, this was not taken in 2005. I don't know why I took this actually.
EDIT: It was because of the Ninja Mask thing in the inventory.

The Dragministrator Game - October 8th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/miniclipgameboy2.gif
This was stylized after the classic green and yellow Game Boy game system. The avatar became so popular that there was an actual game made about it (http://rfshq.com/-/Extras_And_Exclusives/dragministrator). Happlecot even made me this awesome "GBA" version (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/Happlecot_avatar.gif) of it.

"Come any closer and the penguin gets it!" - July 31st, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/PENGUIN.jpg
Two months into my newfound job as Moderator I was already feeling the pain of taking care of arctic waterfowl. Needless to say, our relationship, hopefully, is a little better than this today.

Public Service Announcement - November 6th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/50deleted.png
By this time, stuff in the Club Penguin forums had reached what we like to call "critical mass". Within the next month I would start writing up my company proposal to host a second vBulletin for Club Penguin only.

Penguin Moderator - June 6th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/pingu_moderator.png
Either Rod Rego or Jeremy/cfpsy made me this avatar with the Pixel Penguins version of my CP account character.

Trick My Cart - November 21st, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/trickmycart.png
Can you guess what MTV show this is a parody of? This was an old avatar I used for fun.

When Dragons Die - January 21st, 2007
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/lmbocp.png
This was a joke image macro that I created in early 2007. I don't think I ever posted it.

RFS pwnz Vital - September 2nd, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/rfspwnvitalxd4.gif
Someone drew this, I don't remember who and I don't remember why... but it's funny.

Late Night with RFS and Vital in IAAF's Bribble - February 20th, 2007
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/bribble.jpg
Before this forum was around Vital Viper and I used to "host" IAAF's chatroom. Users could come hang out and chat with us, and if they wanted to they could join us for X-Files commentary. We stopped doing this once the chatroom became too full.

Thread Locked image macro - June 29th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/locked.jpg
This was an image macro that I used to lock threads that were about "decoding" the FISH manual to find hidden messages that didn't mean a single darn thing.

Inflatable Dragon - June 16th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/ride_dragon.png
This was taken during the 2006 summer party.

And finally, we can't have a complete time machine without:
"RFS STINKS!" by Waitor - September 4th, 2006
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/RFS_STINKS.png
Upset over whatever it is that penguins get upset about, Waitor said this, someone took a screenshot, and then said screenshot was posted on Miniclip where it INSTANTLY became a forum fad. I used it as an avatar, other people did, some people took screenshots of their own "RFS ______!" and used them as avatars. It was awesome.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/radiof/part2/RFS_STINKS.png

Hope you enjoyed it all, this is all I've got.

[Jeffman]

Talk about memories.

My favorite was the signature: "Another day at work". That was just priceless and completely true.

Its been a crazy few years.

Oh yea, everyone thought you were serious with the gun thing. Some people were SERIOUSLY scared lol.

[Boyinhood]

Wow,good times.
Those were the days lol.
I like the inflatable dragon picture.

[CopperPython]

My favorite one is the signature "just another day at work" I love it. I also like you holding the gun to the penguins head. :P

[Putty]

[FunnyBoy]

If you are in your house, and you are alone, you can say anything you want, and not be banned.

[Putty]

If you are in your house, and you are alone, you can say anything you want, and not be banned.

Really? So some angry kid can go in his igloo and have a hissy fit for 5 hours and not get banned?

[TnT]

:D
I remember all of the pictures.

Lot of good memories around some of them. :O

[Donnybrook]

I may of only been around since the new forum, but I have seen some glimpses of these memories. I like how you brought back the good memories I also love the "Just Another Day At Work" sig, priceless.

[worldking01]

If you are in your house, and you are alone, you can say anything you want, and not be banned.

OH OH I know who was around back then!!! ME :P

Rather than seeing and witnessing the forum history I chose to make it, lol.

As for 'RFS pwns Vital' I had posted a pick of Happlecott's where i was being 'owned' so someone else decided to add to the collection. I don't recall when or why I decided to show that pic although I think it was during one of the many battles RFS and I have had. Just a hunch, lol.

As for the Chat, those were good times. The chat has gone downhill since then, I don't even know most of the people there anymore.

As for the anti RFS stuff you know that has it's origins with me. and that set up looks awfully familiar to the debate prior to the election. You weren't a very 'popular' person either :rolleyes:

[007Honey]

That was all such fun to look at!

I love the little penguin. I got a cute one from Seaworld recently. I will have to put a picture on of it sometime. That was a great practical joke!

On the pic where you are attempting to murder a penguin, :O is that your room?
It looks pretty busy in there. Do u ever lose stuff or even people in it?:D

[Peng_boy]

nice thread and where do you get all of those penguin clothes.I want them

[Dracophile]

Yeah my room is full of a lot of stuff. Things get lost and covered up all the time.

nice thread and where do you get all of those penguin clothes.I want them

I only have a CP shirt, which they sell in their online store.

[Donnybrook]

Just by looking at that stuff, It makes me sad that I havent tooken pictures of funny things that I have seen on the forum.

You have a great legacy RFS. :)

[conman1001]

Hah, that's funny, the another day at work sig was the best I think.

[Tillers]

Haha Some of them are great

I'm reasonably new to CP

I joined in about August maybe a bit before

[Tom]

Ah, in the image when Waitor said "RFS STINKS" that was during the CP Presidential Elections. That was the debate at Lambofun's igloo when me and Vital were duking it out, in a non-violent and politically corrupt debate. Waitor was mad becuase you banned him, for what, I don't know.

I couldn't resist:

Forums closed for construction after the Moderators joined. They could not see the forum either.

[Laxster™]

Let the good times role right on by. I remeber Ben and the others. * Lax shows his emotions by missing them *

[Putty]

Well I don't really play the game, I never did. At one point in time, up until about the time when I started Adminning for Miniclip I would log on to see what's new and if needed write a guide or something. I don't "hate" the game, I just don't play it that's all. I realize I probably should but whenever I do log on I don't get the kind of respect you'd think I would. People don't want to be my friend they just want my name on a list, so that's why I never log on and why I don't even have my CP account in my forum profile.

Yeah if you did play it people would want to add you because you're the Miniclip Admin. But do try and log in every month as to prevent your penguin from being deleted...

[Dracophile]

It hasn't been deleted because from time to time I DO log on to do stuff, mostly to check on reported bugs or things to see if people on the forums are just trying to make up something to get noticed.

I'd love you to be on my buddy list.:)
Mostly because you have the same problem that I suffer with,you're kind to VV,Your threads are interesting and well...maybe I'd be able to see you a darn site clearer than I can ever see VV because of the masses!:D

I also agree with you that dragons are pretty awesome at least as far as art is concerned anyhow.
There is a lovely little horned dragon reptile in he local petshop and if I knew how easy/difficult it is to care for them,I would probably buy him because he's so awesome to look at.

Anyway back in reference to your quote.If you don't play CP, I guess there's no point asking to be your buddy!

If it's a bearded dragon those aren't TOO difficult to take care of. Also, if it's just a general pet store I wouldn't take their advice at face value, do some research on your own and ask questions because most employees there learn on the fly and only know topical knowledge. Most of them will probably not know what "substrate" is if you ask them (it's the bedding you put in the terrarium). Also if it's from a pet store and not a breeder, I'd consider taking it to a vet for a checkup immediately after (it is commonplace for pet store snakes to have mites). And that's another thing, make sure there's a vet in your area that does reptiles. :P

[Amoldo]
