I think the best thing we can take away from this experience is that despite it only existing for 3 years, it was so good and so amazing that it left a deep impression on us, and now, even as adults, we are still trying to get that magic that was robbed from us back. I do feel like that a lot, I feel like Rainbow could've been way more fair in the way they did things, or leave the forum around so that we could always visit it. They closed the forum and not even 2 months later completely D E L E T E D IT to save space in the database of the website. I get that the forum was a lot, but it's still a kick in all our love and passion for it back then...
Omg I can't believe the Game and the Forum only been around for 3 years! It feels like much longer.
Every word you say goes straight to my heart!
Honestly 4 years is the closest approximation. The forum was launched in April 4th 2010 and closed in January 10th 2014... so almost 4 years to be completely fair... doesn't make it less sadder still
I feel like the original team - cassiopea and digit - really cared about us, the forum was regularly updated and visited every week. Only the admins could add signatures to users and they NEVER, ONCE failed. Then they left back in the season 4 to 5 transition and PrinceNereus - who never used a forum as he did say to the PT minimods at the time - came along and there were delayed signatures and prizes and the last months the forum existed he just vanished, the users slowly left and the minimods tried everything to keep it lively, but it's impossible if you can't offer anything... you were a minimod back then right? Did you feel that way as well or was it just the PT forum suffering?
