They will now...
 
How could you keep it from them? It's immoral!
 
What the smeg is this thread about? :confused:
 
Franzbear will never die!
 
Oh, it was a dark time in PF history. The thread is actually hysterical. I kept pruning it, trying to keep it under 10,000 posts, but it was impossible. People would stay up all night postng in it.

You will find many deep, dark, secrets about some notable PF members in there. :biggrin:

Moonbear is the mother of a mutant immortal zombie named Franzbear, for example. The things his Uncle Artman used to do to try and kill him. :smile: Those were the good ole days. <sniff>

How many kids did Franzbear have?

I think I killed them off and his teenage incarnation. I kept his sweet little boy side that was so trusting of his Uncle Artman.
 
  • #12
Amazing. He so trusts Artman and he's still alive! Franzbear will NEVER die!

  • #15
You must read it ALL!

muwahahaha
 
  • #16
I thought I posted in it near the start, but obviously not. Unless Evo deleted it back in the day :-p
 
  • #17
Evo did do a lot of trimming...but never won.

:smile: I saw this thread title and thought, "who resurrected this ancient thread, and didn't Evo lock it?" Pogo, where have you been...away mourning Franzbear's eventual demise?

I've been off working on a nuclear prototype. Long hours (12-14hr days with 7day weeks) of rotating shiftwork. I'm on leave now, so I have time to bring Franzbear back from the depths of PF's dark history. Franzbear will live forever.

way to go, I've spent the past 2 hrs reading the original TKC! I'm wondering when I posted in it, I think I was "quantum prodigy" back then but not sure about the time frames...

one thing is for sure, it is entertaining to re-read!
 
  • #22
If Franzbear will die, it will be by my hands.
 
  • #23
where's version 2 of TKC? I'd like to read that too...

See link in OP.
 
  • #25
I thought I linked to the original. Oops.
 
  • #26
mmmmm. 704 pages. I don't know if I can read all of that.

As long as we are talking about dead threads, what happened to my "Emote Wars" threads?

Hmmm. Apparently kaisxuans killed the Caption Competition Thread. Thats got to be worth like...5 points.

  • #29
I deleted the in between posting wars trying to get the last post in and tried to leave the "story lines" intact.
 
  • #30
Hmm. No posts for over 40 minutes. I think that Evo might have killed this one.

OH! I'm sorry.
