The day that Ponce Cuba was mistakenly resurrected. Now that day was 5 star nuts!
He turned me on to nickel stacking...
The day of the ice cream truck was pretty wild too.
I rather miss that Poster.. what was his name??
I cant remember. too long ago.
Does anybody else remember the several day trollfest put up by "songwriter"? That was epic.
I consider that a modern-day classic. The thread starter was Percival, or whatever his nome-de-net was at the time.The day of the ice cream truck was pretty wild too.
Ponce turned me on to Charmin stacking.He turned me on to nickel stacking...
what about the guy that said there were fake gold maples floating around? :cry1:
Are you talking about the guy who said the fakes were Philharmonics and they were made from 90% gold. His name was Skeptic. Talk about irony!
That had to be the longest running and most vitriolic (especially between Mamboni and the Skeptic) in GIM1 history, and that is vitriolic indeed!
Jesus, how could I forget that one! Didn't another GIM1 member go to Skeptic's location and check his claim out?Are you talking about the guy who said the fakes were Philharmonics and they were made from 90% gold. His name was Skeptic. Talk about irony!

You only think that becuase you weren't around for the Hyperkitty vs. Panda/Midas wars.
Yo Vike, you're a peach!!:biggrin:
That was just prior to a certain mod going on a ban rampage. It was like the nite of the long knives. When you awoke the next day a bunch of the people were gone.
I can't recall which mod, was it Skyvike?
I don't think so, it did happen somewhere between AM and PM ...
The day it was announced that GIM was going to be shut down...that day was pretty crazy.
It happened on april fools day and we thought they were joking. When it was found out to not be a prank, two camps formed and half the membership stayed here and the other half started a new forum of thier own.

As a back story to that day ( which only added to the mass confusion/hysteria ), a few years earlier the founders and some moderaters decided to set up an elaborate April Fool's Day joke. Leading up to April Fool Day ( 2005-2008 time period I think ) we started to bicker and argue with each other online. It was fake but appeared very nasty to the members. Finally on April Fool's Day, GKhan (original founder of GIM) made an announcement that he has had it, that he was pissed off at the other founders for acting so immature and was going to shut down GIM.
This resulted in a huge uproar - which was exceeded by the uproar after we let everyone in on the "joke". Some members were so upset they left never to return. Personally, I thought it was brilliant and added some fun and character to the site.
Fast forward to 2011 when GKhan really pulled the plug ( which so happened to be on April 1 because that was when our web hosting renewal was up ) which fed into the craziness of that day.
