I realized that I have an entire flash drive full of MB screenshots. It seems a pity to not share some with you all, so every day (or when I remember) I will post one of them with some words about it. Enjoy the nostalgia.
Today's screenshot is when I had exactly 100000 posts as benboy755 on the MBs. You'll note that this was exactly 5 years ago today. I managed to reach this milestone on my account's 5 year anniversary, somehow. I'd reached Cowboy about 2 weeks before (4th Cowboy). That avatar was one of my classic ones in addition to the purple suit. You can also see my 100000th post, a topic, in my latest topics. Since I was the first user to reach 100000 posts on a single account, it was a slightly notable occasion for the MBs. Part of me hoped I'd jump to rank alien (rank 29) at the milestone, but that sadly didn't happen. I sat on 100000 posts for a week before continuing to post again. I didn't post a whole lot in the remainder of 2015 (one of my lowest years), so that "10" prefaced my post count for a while. Interestingly, June 7, 2015, was also a Sunday.
In the future I'll try to see if I can find some shots of my other classic avatars and perhaps screenshots corresponding to that day of the year. Enjoy.

Thank you Benboy, very cool!
Watch out, might have some embarrassing AP screenshots in the vault

I have dirt on all of you Also for everyone who is curious in a week we will be starting "2014 Week" on Benboy755's Classic MB Screenshot of the Day, and we will revisit an entire week of June 2014.

Now it is time for a classic screenshot from June 8. This time we're stepping back to June 8, 2014. Starting Saturday I'll feature about a week of 2014 screenshots, so I guess this is a preview.
Despite looking pretty boring there's actually a lot going on in this one. I believe I just took it because of the "Lithium avatar glitch," which you can see happening to wolfasa over on the likes leaderboard. I have no idea why it would happen, but on occasion the page would load funny and various users would have the basic Lithium (the platform the MBs were based on) avatar. Being 14, I guess I thought documenting every instance of these glitches was amusing I was also on the MBs at 7:48am in this screenshot, which is... concerning.
Here you also get to see the top five most liked users. I honestly I had no recollection of the fact that wolfasa made it to fifth overall. I don't think he got farther? Guess we'll find out if I keep going through 2014 leaderboard screenshots. Skul, of course, was first from December 2012 until the end of the boards - I think I am glad I never had the opportunity to pass him. Tanner was second for some time, but became less active in late 2013 and I (and later Gideon) passed him. Gideon would go on to pass me, but I think when the boards ended he was fourth overall or something due to decreased activity (I was second).
You can also see a variant of the purple suit avatar I had then, with white pants. I think that was one of my more shortlived avatars
On to the MB home page, the thing I find most interesting is when the "Secret Sister Society and Undercover Brother Chat" as I think it was called was still in the minifigures forum. This was a rather large topic that ended up being moved to the community chat forum. In 2015 (I think) it was locked due to people posting inappropriate content. I don't think I posted there much myself, though I do recall posting there a little as 42Varda. My memory, however, is poor. The only other amusing thing on the home page here is the make a sword topic
In my tabs at the top, I see several of my classic topics, including "What Users Look Like" and "Is Keplers Voldemort." I should repost those.
