It is amazing that the forums are still chugging along...this place has been through some tough times. I like the idea of a group photo, but I think it might be more fun with Splat's suggestion of self-portraits made into a family photo, rather than actual photos.

ARGH!! I came up with that idea!! Why do other people always get the honor for my ideas??!!! Im gonna copyright them next time :-(

That wasn't your idea... O.o... I thought of that myself =/

Very sorry, Ambi! You do deserve credit for that one too.

DAmnit Havoc... You saw my post and your subconsciousness told you it was your idea...
This is the SECOND post in this thread...

*Cries*... I should have gotten that underated award XD

You aren't underrated T, everybody appreciates and loves you! (Except Havoc, so it would seem ;))

Nah I love her the most out of all you guys. I though she ment the 'sent mails to EVERYONE thing'. Not the 'get old members to come back' thing.

Nah... me and Havoc love eachother ^_^ He's so cuddleicious...

Anyways... uh... *hides*

Come on folks, don't sway from the topic so far.

I really like the idea of sending emails out to members, as well as 'decorating' the forums :) But don't stop! We need more ideas.

Alcar...

I was thinking of doing that for its 10th anniversery, along with a dvd that I'll send everyone. but we could do it for both

Somehow I doubt any of us will be around by then... But you never know.

I've got an idea, it probably wouldn't work, due to the members who were involved last time probably not being here/having enough time for it, but I'd have said how about restarting the Oddlympics/OIPT forum on the forum anniversary? There were talks of restarting it a while ago, but nothing came of it. We could then host the Oddlympics between all the members on each anniversary year afterwards.
EDIT: Oh and Abeguy, what DVD? An odworld one (eg. the one that came with SW), or a random DVD/your own Oddworld DVD?

I've thought about trying to recreate the OIPT (though I had no interest in the Oddlympics first time round), but frankly I won't have the time for months. Perhaps that's something for a much further horizon - that mystical film release.

Alcar, if you made a forum-wide announcement, you might get more attention from any potential comic/caricature artists that only lurk in Fan Corner.

I suggest a special "What if?" fan corner thread, where short What If? stories (Oddworld related) are posted. Forumers could star in some of them.

What are the Oddlympics?

I had that idea a few months ago and made a thread 'bout it. But Dino was like "z0mg NOEZ!". Hee :p

But for the anniversary I have the best idea! Make me Admin for a day! XD Awesome!

But yeah... I like the idea of the huge photo thingy, but it's just someone/people spending their time merging it all... I would but I don't have the skills [unfortunately]. -_-

I also like the decoration of the forums ideas! It'll be awesome. XD

Competitions are also nice, as are 'presents' in the form of new forum features, new... erm... websites? Generally new Oddworld related stuff I guess.
I dunno. I suck.

Yayness! An oddworld forums aniversary! I would donate money to the forums but, I can't and I don't know how to. Oh well, I could always draw a crappy pictore of Abe and post it on the forum as a gift.

Hey oddveteran, you're back!?! I thought you'd left; glad you're back. Back on topic, I like the idea of some sort of present or forum update. Perhaps a new forum to replace the deceased Spoiler Forum? Or maybe the RPG sub-forums could be opened in time for the anniversary *hint to T-Nex*.

Make a Member picture Gallery ;)

I AM GLAD. Don't have much more to say. I like the idea of a member picture book.

EDIT: Christmas party comment taken out for sheer retardedness.

The comic idea sounds cool, like the comic is almost everyone whos active fight each other to the death. I'd always like to be hit over the head with a frying pan by someone. Even if its cartoon violence.

Contests etc. sound good to me.

P.S. Hi.

I like Xav's idea, but it sounds like it would take forever.

The comic idea sounds awesome! I can see it now... Survivor: Oddword Forums. I would probably meet my demise from the plague... I can't help it if the ratz are so darn tasty :p.
A neet little awards show would be cool. The Technodrome forums had a "fake" awards thread no too long ago. They gave out funny sigs with things like " calmest ninja ever" , "surprizingly not Duke Phillips", "opinionated sumabitch", " member with the smallest vocabulary", "future newsanchor", etc.

A neat roast on the oldest members here might be funny...

*shrugs* just my two cents...

Why not making a special birthday skin for the forums? Or a nice drawing?

I'm already making a drawing of some of my friends on here. It would take me till next anniversary to do every one though.

Through every active member?

I base it off anyone active who's posted a picture here.

I agree with this Bring back old members idea, but sorta dont too.

Agree: it would bring back a lot of missed members, that we all loved and cherished.

Sorta dont: Wonden't that bring back spammers and noobs like rydellrocksyourworld and stingbee? Just asking.

Let's just stick with the people who want to be here. Screw the rest of 'em.
