You missed me
Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters
my opinion:
The site has been truly truly great in ages past. most of the old memers here are literally becoming old now, and I mean old in the internet-scale. people who are 20, 21+, etc get reaaally busy, and that harms levelmaking, which means it harms the entire activity of the site. I don't agree with people being stubborn in their opinion, I don't agree with people being jerks; really, I think you're exaggerating. now let's read further
'everyone to only mak' said:
to be honest I was too harsh to you given your age but you need to not blindly accept your parents view of the world
I agree with both parts of this message, COMPLETELY. I kinda said to myself 'wutt??' just for the use of 'believe' in a global-warming discussion... >_>
read the first page, I'm REALALLYLLY interested in reading the global warming discussion now, lol. I think I don't need to add anything.
also flash(what the hell is that name?) you made me laugh like hell
*haven't posted in months* Still nice You remembered me. Grats for being here over a year, it looks You've made almost 4 posts a day and that's a nice amount, even when I'm active I don't think I write so much. Still waiting for more of your HatPC activity even though it competely dies and in a couple of years there's going to be a total lack of good HatPC stuff to play. Too bad no one was taking care of this game for most of the good years when people were active with it. Still, 2013 was a really cool and fun year too, even more entertaining when new people joined, despite the fact that 2012 wasn't looking too well and I guess contains less levels than 2013 brought. I'm curious how it will be here when Yimmy gets older and probably still remains active. (had to post here, hope to see this site active all the time, it was always nice to read it and it's really effective for my english, few weeks without it and school and I feel it's getting worse, now getting ready for reading the global warming discussion)
Good lord this was a good read. How have I never read this topic before? Highlights:
'Yimmy' said:
Jellsprout: This guy. He hates anyone having different opinions than him. Hardcore. He's an arrogant, smart-aleck, jerk. Why is he staff? The worst of the staff, maybe even the worst member, IMO
'Yimmy' said:
Atvelonis: GOAT SIMULATOR composes 90% of his posts. so yeah
'Yaya' said:
I don't see why you had to give us a rundown of your thoughts on every member. Is it supposed to make us feel better? Worse? Will Jellsprout begin to act differently because a 10 year boy from Indiana doesn't like him? Uh oh, looks like half of the people listed are gonna have to start showing up because Yimmy said they were inactive, oooooooooh.
'FlashMarsh' said:
dont worry yimmy bang_jan and rocketguy are both way worse than you
at least your posts don't make me cringe every time
'soccerboy13542' said:
Jory was right when he said Flash was basically a British version of Thomas.
Lol I also think it's funny seeing everyone telling Yimmy to question his parents beliefs and everything, like as if Yimmy is gonna go up to his parents and be like, "according to the internet, global warming is real" and then his parents go "Well then according to me you're no longer allowed to use the internet"
I feel like back then Yimmy was too young to expect him to be able to do critical thinking/research into stuff like homeschooling/public schools and global warming. TBH most of what you learn as a kid is from school and your parents so it's silly to tell him "QUESTION EVERYTHING", even if his parents are teaching him wrong things. Like, c'mon guys, you should know that he's gotta hit that independent rebel teenager phase before he can question his parents beliefs
I propose someone else do a rundown of their opinions on members, I think that would be fun to read.

I still find it funny how he remembered practically everyone on the Interguild, INCLUDING MY BROTHER, but not me.
Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters
Alright, if no one else will, I'll do a list for people, using Yimmy's as a base and trying to expand on it. Even though it's mostly just a few sentences per member, get ready for a wall of text:
Spoiler:
Wully: IDK who this is
Dabigkid: Has never really been active so it's hard to have much of an opinion. I think some of the caves he released were really cool, tho
Snowman: He likes planes a lot
Jazz: Disappointed in him because he tried to be all Mr Mysterious man by suddenly appearing in the one post round and him re-appearing being his entry, and I gave him the victory but he didn't come back to start a new round. Besides that, though, he's pretty cool. Really great at minecraft builds. It's a shame he's not more active
Snipereborn: One of Livio's IRL friends. I'm very disappointed in the house he built on our newer MC server. Super tacky and in a really beautiful area. We may never see this man again
Cedric: DJ Housefly #neverforget. I'm actually pretty curious what he's like these days, he's 17 now so he should have matured a pretty good amount since I last really knew him
Buboy: I feel bad because he's an active member, but I feel like I really don't know much about him. He posts a pretty good amount of content compared to most people.
Teo: Cool guy. English isn't his first language, but he seems pretty good at it now, unless I'm remembering correctly. I remember him being a big fan of Dando/Sefro's work, and also me getting really annoyed by some of his minecraft builds on the old server, particularly the random overpass to the nether portal. Good hatpc levels from what I remember, but it's been a while
Kooler: One of my main memories of him was when he was trying to get his villager out of the nether.
Yimmy: The young member who everyone seems to rag on. I am sympathetic of that
kinecttking: Kind of in the same boat as buboy. I don't really know much about him. I don't think he's as active as buboy, but IDK for sure. I havent really been able to play hatpc easily for a long time, so I really haven't kept up with playing such levels in the last few years.
Krotomo: He had pretty good builds on the MC server. I remember waaay back in the day he apparently was pretty annoying when he was young, but I only remember this from reading some of the mod forum's topics. He's apparently matured a lot since then, though, and is a pretty cool guy now.
Silver: Had some very interesting phases on the old interguild, which included making many, many accounts. It was a big step up when she finally admitted the truth. All of that drama is really funny to look back on, although it may be a bit cringey when you're reading your own old posts. I've always found it funny how annoying things are in the present, but when you look back on them, they're absolutely hilarious (see: this topic probably). Silver on the old interguild was very much so that. Like kroto, she's matured a lot since then, although I truthfully don't know much of her anymore
Isa: The voice of reason and the anti-fun. I've always seen myself and my zany/reckless behavior as the source of his headaches. And yet, he was the one who helped steal the D52 account when we did the takeover. Very solid staff member.
Bang Jan: I wish I could easily see a members post history so I could remember exactly who people were. I think I remember bang jan as the guy who got yelled at by others for giving critical ratings without being critical in his review or something? But that was a long time ago.
Mymop & Atvelonis: I feel like they both go hand in hand, and I also confused the two of them ALL THE TIME. Like one of them built a house on the survival server (I think mymop) and one of them didn't (I think atvelonis) and I always tried to bug the one who didn't into building one but it doesn't work so well when you get them mixed up all the time! They're both cool people though, and active and trustworthy enough to get promoted to staff when we decided that it wasn't useful having a bunch of empty shells standing in as our staff.
Shos: I vaguely remember arguing with him a lot on the old interguild? I was not a fan of the "shos is always right" thing. Apparently the best person when it comes to playing caves. Nothing can stop him. You think you've built a difficult cave, and then he goes "6/10 way too easy". I remember one time evangruntz (AKA Florida, imtimi and zoink_yoink) made a cave where the idea was he made an open ended puzzle-like cave that everyone would assume was possible to beat, but then really wasn't. And then shos claimed to have beaten that level. His legacy includes imperio, discussing math, debating Israeli politics, his dogs, and his zany posts with his distinctive style/typos
Sefro/Dando: Everyone loves Dando! Who doesn't love Dando? Nobody, that's who! Very contreversial figure. Led the pro-fun caves charge. Was pretending to be a girl for the majority of his stay at the interguild, which lead to some interesting themes and topics. I've always wondered if Thomas' disdain for Sefro was because he was madly in love with Dando, and felt spurned when she turned out to be a he.
Livio: He's always had this air of mystery around him because the majority of the time, he wasn't really active, so it would be like a big deal when he would actually show up. I'm glad he didn't take the same route Haily took with IceCaves.net
soccerboy13542: Cool guy, well rounded guy. He used to bug me way back on the old interguild because he had like 1000 caves posted to his gallery but most of them weren't notable. I think really though I was probably just jealous because it made it harder to brag about how many caves I'd made, even though the majority of the ones I made were pretty crappy, too.
Neezles: The best of the best when it came to trolls. I still don't honestly know what the deal is for real with neezles, and I never will. It all started way back in the old interguild, when Hannah Banana's little sister joined, and made a slew of crappy topics in the random chat forum. I don't really know how it evolved from there but at some point I became no longer convinced that Hannah Banana and a_neezles_a weren't the same person. I'll never know the answer for sure, but neezles will still always be the best troll the interguild ever had. Annoying, but very entertaining. When a neezles raid was going on, it always caused a spike in activity because people were interested in seeing what was going on, and the staff were on more frequently to combat the raids, causing more activity. I realized this some point during some of the neezles raids, and as a result, I actually kind of grew to like them, as annoying as it sometimes was.
Bmwsu: Was a really cool guy, but I have 0 respect for him since he, after being made an admin of the site by Livio, totally ditched us without even so much as a word. Like at least say you're leaving. Apparently all attempts at making contact with him have been unsuccessful.
Jellsprout: I'll admit that some times jell has come off as a bit elitest, but he was still a really funny dude and a solid staff member when he did staffy stuff. He never really made many levels, so I got the impression he was here moreso for the forums, although I recall him being pretty active when it came to learning stuff about hatpc. His legacy includes "Sprout for prez" and Boot Camp. He hasn't been seen in a long time, it's a real shame.
Jebby: Dude is really tall IRL. Always has come off to me as very enthusiastic about everything. He's been mostly inactive during interguild peak times, so it's tough for me to say too much about him. His legacy includes, starting the entire interguild and Bribe and Massacre.
Yaya: The quirkiest of members, a very entertaining fellow, but somebody who seemed constantly frustrated. You could just feel the seething anger in some of his posts. I feel like after becoming staff (and maybe to a certain extent even before), he took the interguild too seriously and wasn't really able to enjoy it as much as a result. Thomas and company was really able to get under his skin when they were doing their whole troling pls ban me phase. I also felt bad because I feel like in some ways I've come off as pretty annoying to him as well. He hasn't been seen online in a long time, and despite atvelonis citing Yaya as his source for the HatPC reborn topic, I have serious doubts that we will ever see him again. I just think it's a shame he wasn't able to take much enjoyment from the interguild in about his last year or so.
FlashMarsh: Everyone always rags on him, but I've actually like him and his personality a lot. He has a very distinct character and his bluntness is pretty funny sometimes.
People Yimmy didn't include:
Jory: Decent guy who went astray during the whole clique thing. His homestead on the new survival server is really awesome, probably one of the best builds there.
Darvince: An okay guy but he was the source of Darspeak which was like the worst thing ever. THE WORST THING EVER. His legacy includes "kol" and helping out on the old interguild server, although I don't remember exactly what with. I think he helped out with that one village, Perseverance, and I think he was the one who anonymously gave me the horse named Gregory. (side note: GREGORY THE PONY!!)
csd: cool guy who's best known as being online but being really quiet and usually not saying anything. One of the top HatPC experts. His legacy includes the Cascades, the stick death videos, and being known by his alternate name, "canadianstick...". I think he might also be the Interguild's oldest member?
Thomas: The only person to go from Immature -> Mature -> Immature. Much fun was had early on at his expense, but I guess it came full circle because towards the end it was him who had fun at our expense. He was like the essential MC player, though. It's a shame he went rogue.
Rocketguy: I don't actually have much to say about you, but I know if I were to leave you out you'd get mad and complain about how ridiculous it is that you go left out again.
Harumbai: Pretty cool guy. I remember when he first joined, being really impressed right out of the gates by his level design. His caves were just really fun to play as I recall.
GF4: I'm pretty sure he did a walkthrough to one of my Midnight levels. His legacy is spearheaded by the interguild comic strips.
imtimi/Florida/evangruntz: Perhaps the most funny and creative member we've had on the site. KarmaBot's posts never disappointed, and his cryptic topic left me wanting more. But he also did like the stupidest thing ever when he made a new account, imtimi, pretended to be a new member, got onto the staff and then one day revealed it all and tried to play it off like he was some master troll. Since he let me in on the secret, and then even called me out in that blog post, I was supremely embarrassed and didn't go on for like a month afterwards because I felt like I colluded in some sort of crime by keeping that secret, and ended up getting hung out to dry by him. And in retrospect I don't really regret keeping that secret because that really wasn't even a troll. "Ha, I made a new account and proceeded to be such a productive member of the community, that you even made me staff. I trolled you guys hard. Neezles wishes she could do this good." Like wtf how was that even trolling? I didn't rat because I didn't care, it's not like he was doing anything malicious until he tried to pass himself off as some master troll or something. But we've all moved on from that absolute debacle. And he's apparently moved on from this site, as well, since he hasn't been seen in like an eon. I'm curious what he's doing in life nowdays, but I don't really have any idea how I would contact him or anyways. Oh well.
Ckjr: The man who is known for pioneering the DDA levels, which has always kinda annoyed me since I was the first one to actually make one. Everyone goes, "oh, but he was the first one to make a really good DDA", well yeah, and I was the first one (as far as I know) to make a non-novelty level centered around the zero gravity, but everyone except CSD claimed that the cave was a rip off of one CSD made. Really, though, he deserves a lot of credit, the levels he made were insane.

For the record guys I am the original HB from 2006 and have been for a while. neezles, who is my real life little sister, got addicted to dota and nobody hears from her anymore
That sounds believable, but were you the one who was doing all the trolling or was there? There was a lot of stuff during the neezles trolling era that didn't make sense. Like there would be this claim that I'm HB and I want my account back, and then it just turned out to be more trolling. I just don't understand who was active when and how it made any sense

Most of the pre-2014 trolling was actually her but I participated as well. And we pretended to be each other at times just for laughs and to confuse you guys

Bang Jan: I wish I could easily see a members post history so I could remember exactly who people were. I think I remember bang jan as the guy who got yelled at by others for giving critical ratings without being critical in his review or something? But that was a long time ago.
You're mixing him up with sup_mus (unless Bang Jan also did that but I don't think so)
I actually chose the members by going through the members that where on in the last week
The fact that his karma is like -40 leads me to believe that my remembrance was correct. I'm pretty sure bang jan was one of the people with blunt, not-in-depth reviews that got yelled at a lot by people for it
I feel like I've matured a lot since I was last properly on the interguild, but thank you Quirvy for referring to me as 'cool' when I probably really wasn't and just thought I was. I remember thinking you were really a really awesome person though. You seemed to know how far to take a joke and at the same time be very good at making decisions and having the authority that a senior member should have and overall just came across as a really nice person who I remember looking up to a lot. I think I idolised a lot of the staff though as being people who managed to express themselves well and were all had cool personalities in their own ways. Cue the reveal that everyone on this entire site was actually just one person playing the entire staff... XD
Upcoming HatPC level: Sanctuary, coming soon to an internet browser near you...
Well you can look back and see yourself as not very mature, but the fact is that I was around the same age as you were back then so neither of us looked immature to the other since we were on about the same plane of existence. Compared to some of our other members who were like 10 when we were 16, and as a result could come off as pretty annoying.
Addition thoughts on Darvince/Soccer:
Darvince: There was a certain aspect of your behavior that I usually actually found funny, and you using Darspeak wasn't really bad. It was moreso when everyone else started using darspeak that it became the worst thing ever
Soccer: Even though you were in the appropriate age range to be annoying to me on the old integuild, I don't remember being annoyed at you outside of you posting so much stuff in your galleries. I think you didn't really interact with us in random discussion as much, though, which could explain it.

I'm fairly certain your right about Bang Jan, Sup_Mus was the person who started by making terrible levels but slowly got better.

Yaya: The quirkiest of members, a very entertaining fellow, but somebody who seemed constantly frustrated. You could just feel the seething anger in some of his posts. I feel like after becoming staff (and maybe to a certain extent even before), he took the interguild too seriously and wasn't really able to enjoy it as much as a result.

I just think it's a shame he wasn't able to take much enjoyment from the interguild in about his last year or so.
Take that, Quirvy's serious doubts! I happened to be lurking here last week when you posted this, and I won't say I was hurt by your characterization of me, but it did call for some moderately depressing introspection on my part. I've never seen myself as a particularly angry person, but maybe I've used the IG as a venting platform in the past, idk. My mid teenage years on here were particularly profane, and there were times when I felt malice towards certain members or the site as a whole, but I guess that never translated as seething rage in my head. In some ways, I'm still similar to the person I was in my prime Interguild years, and in some ways I've changed, but I don't see anger being the key emotion that you'll take away from my posts anymore. Aaaand maybe I just vent on different sites now
It's tempting to do one of these writeups of my own, but it'd probably be less interesting than yours, and it might be awkward since so many people are active right now.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma.
Maybe seething anger is a bit of a strong way to characterize your posts, but I've definitely felt you being pretty frustrated with a lot of things. And I partly know because I've been there. I see some parallels reading your posts to Yimmy, with our (or at least my) posts early on when Silver was pretending to be like 5 different people. Part of my perception could be because I think you used to censor-curse more than anyone else (like %$#*).
I'm not wholly sure why, but I'd kind of gotten the impression that you and Isa were 2 people who probably took the Interguild more seriously than it should have been taken, and I felt that it had a worse impact on you because Isa was that way through the golden years, while you were here and staff during the years of early Yimmy, the clique, and general inactivity.
Anyways, I certainly wouldn't discourage a similar list. I was actually hoping more people would for fun. It's interesting to hear what people have to say about eachother. Well, kinda. They're probably not gonna say anything too controversial, but still. Maybe FlashMarsh should make a list. That would probably be entertaining (and potentially get a lot of negative karma)
I've always been of the opinion that Neopets attracts a lot of people who have (had) problems in their life. I've met many people with various types of depression on that site.
