Wow. Dreams month was in September 2007?? It seems like if it was yesterday or something. :(

StitchMad

September 16th!
If I'm not very much mistaken, that was either the day or the day before I joined VMK. :)

I remember going to the Emporium and seeing that pin all ready to buy. I remember everyone going crazy over ned shirts too.. LOL!

Tron month was a little OTT, but I enjoyed the HOST Games then, grabbing 30 of the Tron HOST Pins in porter games. :D Gosh.. I miss my clones!

Thanks for the thread, that is so fun to have the history!

This is a really cute idea, and the tron stuff was pretty cool to see that was definitely one of my favorite themes.

This is awesome! This brought back so many memories! Dreams Month was so awesome; in the first week everyone ran around crazily from public room to public room hoping to get Dream Ears or the Castle Suite. And I certainly remember Tron month! I remember when they gave us a sneak peek of the Tron room; it was so cool first seeing it filled with Tron furniture. Great idea! :D

Awww! Nice and creative way to remember vmk in a POSITIVE *cough cough* way! I remember when the tron stuff came out in 2006... That was when I first came into vmk... I didn't know those things were going to be rare and didn't get them... lol I was a newbie... At least I got to experience the best two years of VMK!

interesting. Dreams month seems like it was more recent than september 2007. I remember watching Tron for the first time after this month and I really liked it (plus its one of my favorite parts in KHII)

Pretty cool how I stumbled upon this post I made in this very thread from 2008. After looking at my VMKForums profile, I signed up to this site on the 18th August 2005... which means I must have joined VMK around the 15th August 2005. It's been over 7 years since I joined the most magical game to have ever made an appearance on this planet. Truly amazing.

I remember every time we dropped a friend off at their house a few years ago, we'd always pass this car parked by the side of the road with "MCP" in the registration / number plate. I'd always shout "MCP!!!!!" because I remembered it from the Tron furniture on VMK... "Master Control Panel!!" haha! :)
