The Pirate-Community Documentary

[Master]

Most users ever online was 338 on February 17th, 2011, 3:54 pm

I see this at the bottom of the board index many a times, is there any noteworthy reason why there was such a massive amount of activity?

Most likely a bot invasion.

[Snagglebee]

Most likely a bot invasion.

I've got a stupid idea: How about a generated Activation code that is sent to eMail on registration?

[Rulez]

Most likely a bot invasion.

Why this fucking face

[Snagglebee]

Because it's funny?! Where's the problem ?

[Master]

Ehhh...
I don't feel the funny, Em, sorry.
Quite a hefty invasion, to have that amount of bots online, and yet not have any mention of it here.

[Rulez]

Because it's funny?! Where's the problem ?

The problem is, it's not funny.

[Snagglebee]

Well, I have a different sence of humor then your.

[Adsolution]

Can you explain the funny to us?

To add to the list, let's Have the last point be worthy of downing a whole drink.

Whether it's funny I don't know, but we already do it anyway.

[Adsolution]

It's funnier than this:

---

>On June 8th, Humch creates a recruitment topic in which members can apply for the position themselves, like in 2009 and 2011. The window for applications is kept open for eight days, and closed on the 14th.

>On June 21st, four new moderators are elected: Master, Adsolution and Serza5, with Hoodcom returning to his original moderation post after many years.

>2011-elected moderator spiraldoor leaves both his moderation and Wiki sysop positions.

>Xenon, holding the second-longest staff position in Pirate-Community history, leaves his position on the staff after being promoted to moderator in 2005, super moderator in 2007, and then administrator in 2009. His dedication and contribution to the community during all these years are unparalleled and will be remembered forever.

>Cairnie, is promoted to administrator, filling in the position of Xenon after his departure

>Tobbe is made a super moderator, replacing the role of the now-promoted Cairnie.

>Due in part to some of the most active members being promoted and the excitement that comes along with it, most of the posts made the following day are by the new moderators.

We can actually add to it ourselves now, Ad.
I've already added a quick version, but methinks yours is much better.
EDIT: Right, I've replaced what I'd put up with yours.

[Adsolution]

Hah, that's right, I'd completely forgotten we can edit posts now.

Alright!

[Master]

Blimey, I must admit, your last point about us posting quite a bit today rings true, I don't think I've ever been this active (barring Record Day of course).

[Adsolution]

I'm actually refraining from being too active so that the Index isn't flooded by orange names. I've even hidden my online status right now, as this is my first day day of Summer after my last day of high school, so I've been rapidly switching from vegetating online nearly non-stop to working on a Logic session almost all day.

[Hunchman801]

Great work guys! Anybody want to take care of the second half of 2012? It's quite empty.

[Matyuv]

Might wanna reword these, but anyway:

August 2011
> Pirate-Community hosts the fanwork contest sponsored by Ubisoft
> A fan interview of Michel Ancel and the development team of Rayman Origins is announced. Many questions are collected, but the interview never comes out.

February 2012
> Haruka creates the emulation thread, which contains a large list of emulators and ROM images of Rayman games with instructions on how to configure and run those.

June 2012
> Rulez and Adsolution launch the "Bningham and Rulzez Show", which is a cartoon series featuring several members of Pirate-Community.

September 2012
> The transactions page works again after being broken for over two years

Awesome mate, just added them to the first post!
