That needs to be remade. :)

Also...er'body...my special bonding thread is the culprit. It gave the site a virus and it needed some bed rest.

It wasn't your fault, Phil, we know you had nothing but good intentions. No-one could have predicted the virus attack happening after the creation of that thread.

Anyway, this may sound odd, but I gave STORMS the heads-up when I first discovered that TYM was experiencing an offline period. A half-hour later, it comes back up, then crashes again and goes offline till September. I remember passing on the news to the TYM loyalists over at MKU as STORMS kept me updated. Then a month after TYM comes back, I join the staff.

Time sure has a way of creating its twists and turns.

So that thread unintentionally caused the event to occur? Fucking hell.

That is quite interesting to know. Good Guy Blake was there to help!

Time/Fate is one of the strangest things.

Funny story. This was around the time last year when I quit waffle after two years for me new job. I quit thinking that I would start my current job the next week. It didn't start until the following month. Because of that I had to sell my PS3, My 32 inch HD T.V. & my iphone to make rent and pay the light & internet bill for the month. I hated having to sell MK9. To make matters worse my PSP couldn't connect to our Motorola router so I was disconnected from TYM for a good couple of months. I never even knew the site went down. August 2012 was a bad month for a lot of us. As I type this on my laptop... I love Test Your Might :)

Yea that downtime sucked. All we had was MKU...That place is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. NEVER FORGET.

Shoot them. Shoot them all.
LGBT thread got lost.

My thread about dealing with Kung Lao using Reptile also got lost.

And I got banned for a week for posting a Bela Lugosi video before the downtime.

The end.
Ugh I remember that! I had a post in that thread that garnered like 16 likes where I mentioned I could EASILY beat the shit out of any "bully" or some shit...lol.
 
lol Chongo got owned and entirely erased from existence when that happened

lots of tears about losing likes when all you had to do to get a ton of likes then is post a clever joke about mr. menoutis

A prop on the stage of life.
Arez got unbanned if I recall correctly. And CompletelyJaded who had left forever and had his account deleted had it restored again when TYM went back up, so he stuck around.



So the data-loss wasn't all that bad :cool:

Jaded became reborn as Glortor and evolved into a mod.
