Greatest Internet Moment?

Lot's of us spend a lot of time online. So it's no wonder many of us have a good time while at it. What moment/instance are you most proud of/feel the best about that ocoured online?

I'd have to say either:
a). My first featuring, How To Pop a Pimple
b). Goodhart getting his shirt
c). Getting my first commission online :D
d). Killing that bad ass Jungle Demon (when I was a really low level for the job) in Runescape

What say you?

I've been making that joke way too much lately, it's becoming more true as I do minor edits... Stupid organs... Obey me or I shall smite thee! Ok no I'm sorry I couldn't do that... I'll put you near a fat chick! Ahhh where'd it go?
Sep 10, 2008. 6:18 PMbumpus says:
"..Just use flour to find the wet spot.." A friend of mine said that when I couldn't find the leak in a bucket. It applies to your chain of comment topics.. :D
Sep 10, 2008. 6:22 PMkillerjackalope says:
It did occur to me that there are some sections missing, on that train of though but I'll write them up, have a few books that have ended up in the bookcase which should help me make an informative and disturbing section...

Rocket's excited... :D

*Ding* Rocket passes at great speed... Screaming runescape girls!
Sep 12, 2008. 7:01 PMkillerjackalope says:
That's a tad creepy, even saying it... Look down two comments, it's the long one... That should explain something.
Sep 14, 2008. 5:33 PMkillerjackalope says:
Nerds are a reclusive and strange species... Mostly.
Sep 15, 2008. 5:47 AMkillerjackalope says:
Ah it depends on how nerdy you really are I guess... Still excepted for now...
Sep 11, 2008. 4:05 PMbumpus says:
Now we wait for a few remarks on girls who play runescape.. I know quite a few girls who have 'Girls Only' LAN parties..
Sep 11, 2008. 5:12 PMkillerjackalope says:
Sorry but people who play those games... Ugh they turn in to lumps of corpulent flesh and cheese, it's horrifying I've seen it happen to people, first comes the defence of games like that, then the social life goes... After that they start gaining weight, acne sets in. Slowly their internal organs are replaced with cheese and hot pockets and the final stage happens when they reach a certain level or something and start thinking that life is that game. After self intervention they learn a lot about life and usually start with socialising, then as they become social people they stop eating because there's no microwave, they start drinking and eventually the slim down and life becomes about about sniggering as a hot girl passes and eventually they pull, which is better than them getting off by play GTA and spending their time in the strip club (in the game)
Sep 12, 2008. 6:58 PMGoodhart says:
so what's wrong with cheese ? LOL
Sep 12, 2008. 7:02 PMkillerjackalope says:
Nothing it's just that it's a food group in my house, not a bodily humour...
Sep 12, 2008. 7:22 PMGoodhart says:

;-)

Sep 11, 2008. 6:17 PMbumpus says:
True that.
Sep 12, 2008. 7:02 PMkillerjackalope says:
It was true already then you trued it, now it's Double true
Sep 12, 2008. 7:19 PMbumpus says:
Triple True That! Fo' shizzle
Sep 10, 2008. 5:19 PMkillerjackalope says:
Jet engine on a few sites, zippo tricks in the newsletter... The collab is something I'm proud of, we all should be after being in a conversation with an old teacher who was grumbling about the lack of education on the subject since there's a show on about it on at the moment I showed him and he was gob smacked... The other thing isn't proud so much as shocking and in some weird way kind of funny, some people would call it cool but they're not the kind of people I could be in a room with.
Sep 10, 2008. 6:26 PMGoodhart says:
Greatest ? Hmm, one of the "highlights" was discovering, first that MAKE had a forum and the mag. was online, and then, finding Instructables itself, through the MAKE link. You all can not really know just how much finding this group has meant to me...
Sep 11, 2008. 5:57 AMGoodhart says:
Seriously though, I did not expect that. I was totally surprised by it all. I wasn't here but a month, and I had already felt like part of the family; and that was special to me.
Sep 12, 2008. 3:50 PMLithium Rain says:
Eh, don't feel bad, took me about a year, IIRC...
Mar 23, 2009. 5:42 AMDerin says:
It took me a year too.
Sep 11, 2008. 2:02 PMKiteman says:
Took?

Omg

Is this what you said?

Permission to speak freely sir? You sir, can be a SMARTASS
Sep 16, 2008. 7:43 AMPlasmana says:
Maybe? No, that is exactly what you said...
Sep 16, 2008. 7:45 AMPlasmana says:
Try find out what I said here!

Maybe? No, that is exactly what you said...
Sep 11, 2008. 6:31 PMGoodhart says:
I thought the Tooks lived in Underhill (Hobbits) ?
Sep 12, 2008. 4:08 PMGoodhart says:
My mistake, Underhill was the name of one of the families....the Shire was an area, whereas Hobbiton was the central town focused on. The home of the Tooks, I.E. Tookland, around Tuckborough...Buckland is where the Brandybuck family lived.
Sep 11, 2008. 7:07 AMGoodhart says:
I am more sensitive and I felt the love more quickly :-)

Via the internet? That must have taken some thought..
Sep 11, 2008. 2:36 PMKiteman says:
Many posts ago, when the BBC decided to wreck their science fora, I was in on the "ground floor" of the Science Forums, which was designed to step in and replace the BBC fora.

I had a bigger presence and reputation there than I do here.

The original core membership never met, since we were scattered across the world, until one member from California announced a grand tour of Europe, staying with various members. She came to London, and a bunch of UK members made our way there at the same time.

She was a very special person to me - a genuine friend - and we had helped each other through some rough stuff via email. We made a big thing of the British / Californian thing, so the first thing I did when I met her was hand her a bottle of proper beer, and the first thing she did to me was give me a huge hug.

That reminds me, I must send an email (before it slips my memory).
Sep 12, 2008. 6:54 PMbumpus says:
Kiteman! You should invite her to join instructables! :D
Sep 14, 2008. 9:50 AMKiteman says:
She isn't here, she's not really a Maker.

You haven't changed that much buddy.
Sep 13, 2008. 4:52 PMPlasmana says:
What made you change your personality on instructables when you became radioactive?
Sep 13, 2008. 5:53 PMDJ Radio says:
the fact that i would be caught..............
Sep 16, 2008. 2:53 PMGoodhart says:
Well the ole saying that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, applies too. :-)
Mar 23, 2009. 5:41 AMDerin says:
Um...
flies.png
Mar 23, 2009. 6:50 AMGoodhart says:
When speaking of ordinary house flies (I've not seen any difference with fruit flies either, nevertheless, to keep it simple), honey not only attracts more flies but will get them "stuck" easier, despite what what the comic says. Get a petri dish and try it some time ;-)
