Let's see....
I found this thread and it as mostly just me and Metal counting for at time. Falkoopa was also a regular, but I only lurked in this thread for quite some time. By the time I had finally posted, Fal had been given the position as a moderator. Another user who doesn't visit here anymore joined in and helped the two of us break 200. It was a good day, all three of us became good friends with each other around that time too.
Some time came by, and two other uses showed up: MisterVideoGaming and lonekonwolf. With more regulars, there came to be more social talk, random fun, and it became easier to reach higher numbers. The result was this thread slowly evolving into a social thread for the forum games, as we all got along well with each other in addition to having our common goal of counting to 200/300 in this thread. We'd talk about a lot of things or just mess around with silly little RPs often. Eventually, over the course of a few days, all of the previously mentioned regulars, along with PATH O__o and Frostwraith counted to 526, with me being the one to hit that number and ultimately break the number, and soon we reached 613. The thread really began to pick up after that.
Things took a different change though. The user you now know as Fluttershy was a long time forum games regular, but he frequented this thread more in particular once I announced that I had become a brony.
Keyblade found this place after that happened.
Apart from that, things pretty much remained the same for this thread from that point on for several months up until December, when Jay found this place.
