In memory of all the members who are no longer with us. My, how time flies. The First Banner: Created in 2007. It didn't last very long. This was back when these forums consisted only of me and Zeeco. Spoiler: click to toggle Old Faithful: As the forums grew more active, I decided it was time for a new banner. This is what I came up with. Spoiler: click to toggle Our First Advertisement: Shortly after joining (within a week or so) Zeeco left. But not before Bigwookieman joined. BWM is really the reason this forum is still here. I would have deleted it without him. We decided we needed to make ads to get more members. The result: Spoiler: click to toggle New Faithful: By this time or forum was experience quite frequent activity. It was time for a new banner. But not just any banner would do. This was the future of crappy, stretch-imaged cacti. This was the vector swirl and cactus period. Spoiler: click to toggle Frolicking Fools: There was a point on these forums (probably before any of you joined) that BWM and I decided we needed to pull an April fools prank on our members. I was up until 2:00am that night plotting and along with a whole bunch of word filters replacing things like 'it' with 'eighteen-wheeler,' we ended up with a hot pink forum skin. And this banner: Spoiler: click to toggle Pre-Green Glory: After we got up off the floor from laughing weeks later, we decided it was time to put up a real banner again. But instead of putting up the old one, I concocted this: Spoiler: click to toggle Ye Olden BannerAround this time, we switched the forums from InvisionFree to Zetaboards. Everything was new and fresh. As we nostalgically packed up our digital things in preparation for the move to Zetaboards, I smacked this on there: Spoiler: click to toggle Green Glory: At last it the great deeds of our time commenced. My brother, ashamed at my ineptness to Photoshop, decided we needed something better. We could do better. We were better... Spoiler: click to toggle The Juicies: At one point, we had a plan for an epic online quest. Each winner would receive a prize, the topmost winners receiving modship and first place admanship. Spoiler: click to toggle -5: All the admins laughed when they saw this. Spoiler: click to toggle Misc: Over the next few weeks, I was busy rebuilding the forums to go with this beautiful banner. I ended up making several less-glorious banners to go with the different sections. They looked something like these: Spoiler: click to toggle Ask Donut: Also, I don't think anybody ever knew this existed, but there was an Ask Donut section up until about two days ago. I lost the email so even if people were asking questions, I had no way of responding. The banner for Ask Donut looked like this: Spoiler: click to toggle Winter Glory: In the winter of 2010 (or maybe 2011? I can't remember), something magical happened that would transform the face of Juicy Cactus forever (or at least for the month of December): Spoiler: click to toggle The Remembrance: In honor of this forum's members: those who came before to prepare the way for us, those who are no more, those presently here and all those to join in the years to come. Spoiler: click to toggle Juicy Cactus forever! Love, Donut |

Yeah man, those were the days. *tear* We should try to get more members. Maybe. But I can see why we don't have any. Everything we do on here is pointless. |

Wow. So much memory. I remember the Word Filter Prank, but not the banner. And I remember Pre-Green Glory, and those following it (except for Ye Olden Banner). I like the feel to The Remembrance, and hope that it will see the glory of Green Glory. Cheers to Juicy Cactus! |
