Memory of Trisphee Past
 

I was poking around in some stuff this evening, trying to make some plans, and I came across something over five years old:

Trisphee's changed a lot since then, hasn't it?

EDIT: ... Man, I can't BELIEVE that it says "Welcome to the Trisphee." I thought for sure I would have caught that in copy editing. XD But truth be told, I don't remember ever noticing it -- this is new to me!

This is...after "Trisphe"?

Really easy to overlook errors, especially if you made them yourself.

Copy editing sucks. I don't actually recall how much of it I did, but I recall that it sucked. Or maybe it was pricing it out?

It's a good year and a half after "Trisphe." The extra e came before I ever joined the site; that layout is 100% my code. I think I did a good job with it, especially since it rendered right in IE6, but it definitely looks dated.

And actually I didn't write that myself. It was autogenerated by vBulletin; I've since rewritten that template. And since it doesn't show up when you're logged in, I very rarely had a reason to look at it.

I remember a time when the site was all blue and empty. When these forums we're all fresh and ready for thread making.

Shoo, Galla, you joined later than I did.

It's been so many years since then... I miss a lot of the people who left.

Can the admins be given a special button that places duct tape on people's avatars so they're stuck on the site and won't leave us?

Duct tape is, sadly, ineffective at holding people in place on the internet.

That blue theme is actually default vBulletin...I'm guessing that was right when Trisphee's forums got set up.

Then we should use glue! Clearly that is the only answer!


.. The blue forums we're pretty old. At least the site design we have now still looks far better then it did back then.

Hey. You guys wanna see old Trisphee? I'll do you one up. I got old Trisphe.

I missed out on Trisphe.

I came when the second e was added. I'm digging that paper/texture style. It feels so phresh and different.

The old Trisphe forums were so dang dark. I kinda like dark color schemes, but it would feel really out of place now. And there wasn't really anything special about the forums since they were pre-beta and didn't need to actually DO anything. We didn't even have avatars over there.

One of my favorite memories was on April Fools' Day, when Coda not only flipped everybody upside down but also changed up the staff name colors to confuse everyone. The irony is, I ended up being a developer-colored name in the end anyway.

I missed that day. >/ I forgot why, I remember logging on the very next day and was confused beyond belief on why everyone said their avatars we're flipped upside down.

Dang it Illu, for the past 6 years you have had ONE JOB, and that is to log in to Trisphee every single day and complain about stuff. How do you screw that up. :|

Iiiii remember this. Best April Fool's to date.
