November 11th 1999

The ezboard, such as it was, is barely a footnote in the long history of the Allspark. We split from that dump in 2000

Wow, I hadn't realized it was that short a time.

 

[Kalidor]

It MIGHT have been 2001 since I do recall some 9/11 stuff

 

[Destron D-69]

it is all starting to blend together as we head toward the end of the boards' 3rd decade... but I've been here since SW and OP went out recruiting from the webrings..

remember those?

Sad to have missed this post on the actual day. But now that I'm not an angsty teenager and I'm the same age my Dad was when I was... it felt right to spend his 65th with him on the 11th.

anywho. We are one and I look forward to your plan succeeding Kal. This place is something special. we should all be happy about that.

Prior to Allspark, I mostly hung around BWTF's forum, and Goktimus's board.

Yep from the first to sign up to BWTF Official Beast Machines Board (and the first to get a spark from there)
to Dewtroplis
to The Allspark
to The Allspark part two with knees
to The Allspark part three now with a waist joint

 

[Gizmoboy]

I was over at BWTF a lot as well because of all the Beast Machines discussions over there.

 

[Sciflyer]

Yep, I spent a lot of time on BWTF too. I recall some pretty good times on that board, but I am glad to have made it over to the Allspark.

I can't wait 'til we get ankle tilts and/or ab crunch.

Yes, but it will mean the board will get smaller and more expensive.

I've been aware of the AllSpark since 2000 or so, and I used to check it for news all the time. I didn't join until 2016 though.
My longtime online TF board (TFINO) finally shut down, and the discourse at TFW2005 was getting more and more toxic so... I jumped over here.

This place is nice. It's chill. They also let me review comics and write articles for a bit. That was neat! This place is great. Not much to say beyond that. Just... keep it up

 

[Onyx]

From Powermaster Soundblaster, Terranok, Onyx Prime, Hooligan to just Onyx. From Bigbot, EzSpark to here. (through many crashes and restarts) From active member, supporter, staff member to lurker. The Allspark has been and always will be my home online.

My laid back, chill and soothingly purple home.

...and yeah, I guess you guys are alright to.

Happy 25th AllSpark! Here's to a great many more with you crazy kids!

P.S. Can we ever get a 2001 RiD theme again? Love the purple, but that orange would be a welcome option.

Retro Comics was always my go-to until the crash.

 

[Sabrblade]

Purple's easy on the eyes.

 

[Prime Generation]

Just popping in to say hi to any who may remember me and offer my congratulations on keeping this place running for 25 years!

Same. It was fun.

If anyone here knows how to create site skins, let us know.

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

That is awesome!

Allspark has basically been my one place for TF discussion on the net since I found it back in 2005. I might lurk elsewhere sometimes, but this is where i stay.

Here’s to maybe making it to another 25 years!

Ohhhhh... I've got some bad news for you...

 

[Destron D-69]

Classic Gears was my go to theme... but I lost my copy of the bitmap that use to go back behind my various faces (that weren't butts) over the years

 

[The Phazer]

Congrats on the anniversary, and thanks to Kal and the other staff over the years who have kept the place here as a nice constant.

 

[Salt-Man Z]

I think I came onboard in Jan/Feb 2000 as TheGuruNow. I had been hanging out at somebody's website where they hosted a simple forum. One of the members (a "MisterOptimusPrime" or something like that?) linked to this place and I've been here on-and-off ever since.

I feel like the EZBoard version must have lasted until 2001, because I was here for the switchover, when I was like the 20th or something person to re-register, and was always weirdly proud about my low member#.

As we used to say: Long Live the AllSpark!
