Hm. I joined in May, last year. I don't think I became active 'til a good time after that, though.

I remember people calling the Scepter Law instead of Order (It was my first item on the site)...

I remember the gold glitch. And being entertained by all of the people posting in the thread just to get the glitch, then complaining about it. XD

I don't remember Vanilla or 13 Phones, but I have a vague memory of Mike.

I didn't even know there used to be a bank, though.
XD

(Sorry, didn't realize how big the shirt file was...)

Yeah, I basically remember everything except the v-day and patty events I wasn't there for.
Menewsha used to be so small and cute... I think May, June, July and perhaps August/September was my happiest and most active time on an avatar site, ever.

Then October was the real change with the "swarm".

Mmm. I hoped I wasn't the only one that noticed that >.>

I was really active before that time and loved the community, but I feel it's gotten back to being nice again. (Maybe not the same, but at least pleasant) For awhile everyone was rather defensive.

I remember the 999999999999.99 gold massacre

I remember mike(a little), galy, rage, and dare.. what happened to dare and mike anyways?

And umm Gush i think was his name? he was like the most talkative mene member ever! xD like making 2k a day.

CrepsleyKabob 07-19-2008 08:50 AM

Dare got banned, and Mike... I don't remember what actually happened to him, but he's not around anymore needless to say.

Gush got banned too xD

kitkat 07-19-2008 08:53 AM

Gush i knew he got banned, I don't remember why though xD

and Dare, i was thinking he was banned, I wasn't entirely sure.

Nightgaunt 07-19-2008 10:28 AM

I remember vaguely enough about it to recall it as being warranted, but I can't pull everything to mind. Anyway, there were reasons behind all of them. *Was on the staff during all three of the last ones* I just can't talk about the parts I do remember. *Non disclosure agreement and privasy issues*. I got here actually just as people were being AMAZINGLY offensive to, and defensive about, the arrival of people from Gaia. I was one of the people from Gaia too, so I was understandably a bit ruffled. CK got here then too, and she was great. She stepped right up and said that you couldn't just label all of us as jerks just because we'd been on a massive website with people that were. We're still here, and loving it. <3
I do remember them asking people not to put the shirt icon in their sigs though, because it really was a way of letting the hacker know they'd gotten under peoples skin and had an effect, which with people like that really only encourages them. *shrug*
I actually didn't get the hack though, but I did get some in the wake of it. <3 that was nice, i used it to buy my tophat, which was the first item I quested for on Mene. <3

butterscotch 07-19-2008 05:38 PM

LOL I had almost forgotten about Gush. He got banned twice, first for breaking all the rules like a million times and then he came BACK, did it again, and posted all these threads whining about it. Then he went to TornFaun and tried to tell them all he was in this band that was currently touring. Hmmmm so much for being some 16 year old highschooler. He was actually pretty hilarious in a pathetic kind of way. :rofl:

Anyway I don't remember much on the list because I didn't join until October and I wasn't that active... I remember the gold we got for not exploiting fishing though, my friend and I were like "OMG WE'RE RICH!!111". :XD

Pearl 07-19-2008 07:17 PM

Yeah, Gush was lame...

kitkat 07-19-2008 08:05 PM

@Nightgaunt: Hey... gaia is awesome >>"

@pearl: well the only thing i remember about gush was that.. he posted a lot and this one time i saw him come back with his mule or whatever and his signature DID have something about touring w/ band or whatever

Jennifer 07-19-2008 08:16 PM

This has turned into somewhat of a thread for flaming. Even if about past users (banned or not).

Pearl 07-19-2008 09:35 PM

I wasn't targeting Gush, he just came up in conversation. I said all I have to say about him.

Easther_Bunni 07-19-2008 10:55 PM

I joined during the first Easter event and I remember most of this stuff. It seems like alot of the members around back then have left or gotten banned though... Whatever happened to that girl Miss Charlaine? or something, I remeber she was pretty popular when I joined.

Haha I remember when jelly got promoted to "trial mod" and when Mike left and when Josh was around all the time. I bought a scepter of Order when they first came out, and when everyone had a pink and white outfit to match, or else the Starry set. The 999 glitch was funny, but I wasn't affected by it at all. I also remember threads saying stuff like "OMG Mene has almost 7000 members!" and then a week or so later there was "8000 member milestone!" We all got a Yumeh hairpin for 10K members and everyone had one so they sold for almost nothing. I remember everyone but me was profitting from fishing and I was really jealous. XD

I guess I'm an "oldbie" then, even though I'm dirt poor. :lol: Wow, I miss old Mene.

jellysundae 07-20-2008 06:49 PM

Charlie comes back every now and again, I think she's still far more into Gaia, because she's only young, she must be 12 now, and maybe we don't have enough to keep her interested here.

tentenpuff 07-27-2008 02:47 AM

I remember Charlie!!
I saw her everywhere, but I've only talked to her once. xD;

She posted something about a disco ball... it was in her thread in the Nations. >>;

I remember she had a Lost link in her siggie. 'Saucy Telephones' or something. xD

Titenya 07-28-2008 05:54 PM

I rememebr of few of those things... I started back in October 07, just before the fishing glitches started... which was how I got my first complet outfit on here *feels kinda ashamed of her newbie luck* Though that also meant I was here for the first halloween as well, which was a lot of fun.

I do rememebr galy was very cool, though I never understood why she got banned.. and I know it's better not to ask. I remember all the hate that was going around because of it... it was scary... it made me want to stay away form those parts of the forums.

Aries acutions and the half price store thread... they helped a lot when I was running my charity. The charity ran form november untill febuary... when i had more beggars than donations and i started feeling guilty when i wanted to buy stuff for my avi ... >< never a goos thing

I remember the birthday even, I run one of the user threads there. And the winner of my pixel art contest actauly became a pixleist here on the site... so that made me feel really cool.

I remember before we had the new system, when things looked nicer and worked better... and every time some one complained the staff would say "it's in the update"... i still hate the new look of the site... all the extra white hurts my eyes so I don't stay on here much.

I rember TrinityDoll's Waiting for christmas thread, that place was a lot of fun. I also remember that we all lost touch after the event was over.. it was sad... I remember the pictures she did for every one for new years... I still have mine in my photo bucket account.

I remember when steve made his first movies... he's very talented... i havn't checked to see if he's done another in a while... I made it into his mini movie. ^_^ that was a lot of fun...

Kiami 07-28-2008 08:10 PM

Wow, yeah I remember these things
I remember when having 50 people on at the same time meant that we were in a rush time
xD
Back when Josh was here...wow...
I didn't really realize how much had gone on since back then
I loved the bank idea
I was sad when it left
What was wrong with it, anyways?

tentenpuff 07-28-2008 11:49 PM

@ Kiami:
I think the interest wasn't working?

I wasn't here when the bank was, though. =P

Tre Le Coco 07-29-2008 01:58 AM

it was poorly coded, it also stole money from people like the trades use to i believe :yes:

amyrex2 07-29-2008 03:38 AM

nope, I am too new to remember anything. I have heard of a fishing game though, is it what you are referencing too?

IndiGlo 07-30-2008 02:16 AM

Aww, I remembered joining some time before the Summer Carnival....and achieving some sort of victory in the art contest.....> 0>;; oh and getting second place on one of the trivia days....good times.
I also remembered lurking in a thread regarding Galy.....and the 99mill gold day, although I received none of the hax0red gold xD

Hmm, seems I haven't been too proactive though.....terrible terrible lurking habit and all.

Jennifer 07-30-2008 03:43 AM

Out of all those times that the gold hacking occurred, I never once was online when it happened. Guess I got lucky, haha.

Melody 07-30-2008 01:13 PM

I think I was online each time it happened, but never got the gold. <3

Jennifer 07-30-2008 06:01 PM

I found it ironically funny! Because I was very active around the time it did happen. But just those days, I seemed to have had other plans. Then I come back the next day and people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. "HOMG! Did you see what happened?!!" "HOMGHOMG!" I'm just totally like, "Uh--huh...what?" o-O

jellysundae 07-31-2008 05:01 AM

No-one else has mentioned when we all logged on one day back in April last year and found we'd all got 145.90 gold richer overnight :lol:

That was entertaining, especially when Josh finally owned up that it was because he'd made a boo-boo. Never did find out what on earth he'd done to cause that to happen, but it was a nice treat, seeing as back then practically everyone was naked!

Ferra 07-31-2008 07:34 AM

I remember all of those things aside from the Scepter being called law. XD And I donated to get my scepters too, but I wasn't paying attention to the title.

I talked to Vanilla back in the days of c h a t s p a c e, but indeed she did have a bit of an attitude that got her in trouble and caused her to leave. ^^; I didn't have a problem with her, but I can see why she left.

I remember seeing the crowns for sale, but for some reason I didn't join until a few weeks later. I thought I'd never get a crown since they already inflated. XD; My first goal item was the welcome shirt and I was so surprised I actually got it!

I remember the fishing incident intimately since it happened right after I became a mod. ^^; Although I didn't participate in the Summer Carnival, I did pop online to get the pins. I think I might have been in Japan at the time, since I know c h a t s p a c e had a lot of drama and kicked the bucket while I was gone.
