ACK! It's gone!

[The Spectacular Professor]

The transcript for Teh Silly Circus! It's missing! I wanted to read that. Nuts.

Time for another go, maybe?

EDIT: I think I should add some content here. I went to Otakupedia and was browsing around. I found the page on Teh Silly Circus and thought it would be fun to read the transcript. I clicked the link and got a 404. So, does a copy still exist? And should we try to do another record-breaking chat session sometime?

[font=franklin gothic medium]Desbreko could answer this question far better than me, but having said that, even if it were actually gone from the site... someone would no doubt have a copy of it.

So I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. ^_^;[/font]

There's an Otakupedia article on it. Basically what it was is a marathon chat session by OB members in AIM. It lasted over a week and went down in otaku history as quite awesome indeed. I was unfortunately not around at the time, so I didn't get to participate.

Thanks for the info, Ace!:animesmil I'm so relieved! I wish I had been around then...:animecry: I think I'll go try to find that article.

[color=#4B0082]My local copy was lost in one of the many hard drive crashes I've experienced lately so if the one on my old OtakuFiles site is gone then I'm not sure if it still exists. Hopefully someone else saved a copy of it.[/color]

Well that sucks.

Maybe we'll have to start another marathon chat, then.

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Just thought I'd pop in and say that Teh Silly Circus wasn't just a marathon chat that lasted a week. Sure, that was probably the first Silly Circus but after that pretty much any OB chat that was created was called that. And there used to be a lot. And they went late into the night. :animesigh[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Well, damn. I was about to protest indignantly that I was involved and not listed, and now have no proof. But those were the days, weren't they?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[chibi-master]

Hey, Lady Asphyxia. How come there's a star before your "member" thingy?
And back on topic, what was Teh Silly Circus even about, anyway?:confused:

[Boo]

[size=1]Lady Sphyx roxx, that's why there's a star in her name. Plus, she's got friends in high places.

Teh Silly Circus was about everything and nothing altogether. People tried to remake it but they didn't get much further than half a day or something. I should know. :p

Anyway, 8bit is right, OB chats still occur, but they don't last anywhere near as long. Don't know if they are as insane or not though, but just about any chat I've been in that has more than two people seems to be nuttier than hell. lol

[Boo]

[size=1]Well, that's the point. It has been in her moderator title for ages and now it's in her member title. I wannit too![/size]

It was a chat that I created. I was bored, Desbreko always on his messengers, etc. So I decided to see if we could make the chat last a week and it did. It scared Dagger away from using AIM altogether. Hehe. I guess I could make another chat but that means some hard effort from others. College is a lot more demanding than high school.

Heh, it was always in my member title. It replaced 'of'. I never had it in my custom title. I don't think I ever had a custom title. :p

The basic reason for it is that I am, of course, the coolest person ever, no?

As for Teh Silly Circus -- I miss OB chats. Do they not happen any more or am I just not involved?

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I remember the whole star thing being brought up before in a thread. Des said something along the lines of Lady A [i]doing something[/i] that nobody else has [i]done[/i]. Apparently if someone else does whatever it was she did they too could get a star.

But who knows if he even remembers what it was. xD[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Lady Asphyxia]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][I]I [/I]remember what it was. But if I tell, [I]everyone [/I]would know. And then, no doubt, everyone would want to get one. And that is just not fair. Because I am awesome. /discussion[/SIZE][/FONT]

[Desbreko]

[color=#4B0082]I remember why I gave it to her. No one else is going to get one just for repeating the same thing though. That would be boring.

Also, I really don't want to repeat the ordeal that led to it....[/color]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Des, you should give yourself a small golden triangle. :p

It [I]would[/I] be cool if there was a kind of secret event/objective that led to someone getting a star or some other symbol. Maybe like once a year? I dunno, I guess it's entirely up to Des.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Along with 2 other, slightly darker golden triangles, arranged in a triangle.

Just don't set it upside-down!
