Just got an awesome flashback!

Hi everyone! I just recalled something that happened quite some time ago here in the MMM:

Back in the days of AIM and noisy modems, there was this countdown going on at the title of the site. I clearly remember that I was checking the forums, and when I refreshed the page, the title changed into a big announcement with yellow letters, and "The Final Countdown" started playing. That was pretty awesome!! I always have that very cool memory from here as a kid. I think that I asked Abe or Xero about it, and one of them told me that I'd found early on about something in the site, and I felt really happy about that back then! Does anybody have any recollection of this?

I don't recall that at all.

Yes, it's super odd, because I do remember the music playing and all, and the logo changed to yellow or red, but I just don't remember what the event was about. I think there was going to be a new feature in the board, and Abe held a countdown until the big reveal. Or there was going to be a new version of it-- something along that. But overall it's a really fun thing that I remember, the forum was very vibrant and those were really nice times.

Maybe it was for Mchat or something?  Was very long ago.

That must be it, and yes, it goes waaay back. I feel glad that I can still revisit this place every now and then, it's like travelling back in time.
