I figured since we had one for 2010 why not have one for whole time people been on YWS.

My favourite events were:

When we thought YWS was closing for good but fortunately Writerdomain made a forum called Society Revisited. It was great and we really thought YWS was lost for good. This happened in 2009 or 2008.

and

The Dragon vs Monkey mascot poll, any new members were immediately recruited for either side, it was madness :D.
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

My favorite events... Hmm...

All the stuff Snoinks Minions did when we were active and the new (current) site being unveiled and the radio show that ended up being an hour long infomercial about Instafish and there's probably more but I can't remember. xD
Got YWS?

Lava I love you. xD

I have a ton that are incredibly memorable. So I'll have several, as I don't like picking favourites. :P

~ When I first joined up, Andy and Jigs were having a review war. That was... impressive.

~ Purps vs. Blues! (All. But especially the final, 24 hour war.)

~ The Completely Evil Plan. Especially revealing it.

~ Retrieving the Young Writers Society. That is all. xD

~ Sibs. Only a handful of people know what I am talking about, but those of you who do know exactly why I mention it.

Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.

The cuteness war definitely sticks in my mind (though it's not necessarily a pleasant memory). It was fun at first. And definitely memorable.
