An idea I have been thinking about for a long time, this is going to be my attempt at making a complete history of the screenshot and related thread here presented in a time-line fashion. This idea Was partly inspired by the "History of EyeCandy: A Study" posted over at the teseyecandy.com forum and also partly inspired by the Ramen I just had for lunch (don't ask, your safer that way).

Anyway I shall be attempting to cover every major event that I can either remember or can find info about such as the arrival of new people on the forum, beginning and ending of new threads, and important things related to me plus a few other thing that catch my eye.

What I would like the from the rest of you is major events that have happened to you around here, for example a memorable group of pictures you posted, a long off-topic discussion that might have occurred, random little things you have enjoyed that kind of thing. If you don't know when something happened just mention about when you think it happened so I can go and look for it. after awhile hopefully we can have a complete and total history of our time here.

At the start (now) it will only cover May (the first month we were here) But in the next few days I hope to add the rest of the months in

And now let us begin this story of the Spellhold Screenshots...

May 31 2007, 11:12 PM: The month of May ends with several pictures from Zombie216.


That was one heak of a month, 8 and a half picture threads, 3 and a half comment threads one of which went of for 22 pages(!!!) and the most amazing thing, comment posts by Kalia so large they put even my largest comment post to shame, contains in some cases several paragraphs per-person and at the least, a very large single paragraph for each and ever person, even if they only posted one picture.


so, who likes this idea? :)

Yahooey! :P Karandras, man, you are the rockingest of those who rock. Well, ok, there's one person above you on my list, but .... ;)

comment posts by Kalia so large ....

*sigh* Truly, if only I could see everyone's pics at work, I'd totally do that again. It'd be a great timekiller there - not that I have anything against time, really - just sometimes it wants killing. And not that the comments posts are only good for killing time, or that screenshots aren't amazing . . . . ok, I'll just shut now.

I thought that was great fun.

That was funny.

I think its a good idea, though it could take a long, long time to do it by screenshots...
