For today's screenshot of the day, we have June 11, 2013.
On this day I reached the post count of 24065 as benboy755, which on the old MBs represented the milestone of the Legend rank. Unfortunately for me I didn't achieve it on the old MBs, but rather late than never I guess. It would have been more poetic if I'd reached the mark on June 7, my MB anniversary, but I was late for that too. Quite embarrassing. I believe I was the 19th user to reach that post count - when the MBs ended there were around 30. You can see that moderation was fast that day, my post went live after only 13 minutes, which was impressive for back then. This was also in the MB Cafe, a topic which pretty much resurrected my activity in the summer of 2013. I became active in May 2013 with around 22000 posts and ended the year with almost 30000 more. (the good old days). Here you can also see my OG signature and one of my original avatars. This avatar was my last to ever feature the ponytail, though I did revisit the muscleman top for a while in 2014-2015. My signature at the time was a relic from the old MBs, one of my LEGO Universe characters was named Elbereth Githoniel and was a Sentinel Knight. For those of you who know Lord of the Rings lore, this may explain to you why I named my first dupe account 42Varda. Of course, Benboy's Chatroom Member refers to my infamous chatroom which was locked due to spam in July 2012 and was unlocked as a part of the update. No one bothered spamming there again, so the mods kept it open. However, when the LEGO Universe forum closed, the 4000 page chatroom was too large to move somewhere else, so unfortunately was deleted. After that I basically just posted in Community Chat and MB Help.
But yes, here's a 7 year old bit of nostalgia for everyone. Later this summer, I'll try to up that to eight.
A post getting moderated in 13 minutes (or even what would later be called "instamodding") always blows my mind. I remember the days when a post could take 3-7 days to get through.

Wow. I don't remember waiting that long. Tbh, moderation would probably be even slower here if we had that many users.

Often it would annoy me, because it would take forever to catch up because new posts would keep flooding in while you were posting - even people replying to you. Near the end, things would even be moderated out of order too, I recall.

I remember that! You’d have to be online virtually 24/7 to keep up with new posts, especially in active chatrooms. We’d both know that, wouldn’t we?

I swear I would have made more posts at the end if not for the messed up moderation at times... or I was just sick of it by that point. Take your pick - there's a reason it took me 3 years to come back
For today, we have a screenshot from June 12, 2016.
Apparently not much ever happens on June 12 in my records, so here we have exactly when Pacman reached rank 22. He was the second user to do so, following Diglett two years prior. As I've complained about, it only took him so long because for whatever reason due to the ridiculous rank requirements, which I posted about in my other topic. Anyway before I start ranting about the old ranks, this is the screenshot Tomorrow we will move on to our 2014 examination.

He had it forever and absolutely hated it it was hysterical
