im gonna bump this and post this
Nahdia (14:45)
can u explain the lore with tigers
Davsto (14:45)
I mean Chevre didn't even put tigers as one of the teams
Davsto (14:45)
Maybe that's why
Nahdia (14:45)
i don't really get it.
Davsto (14:45)
They're getting their revenge
Nahdia (14:45)
ok but this site has some tiger meme
Nahdia (14:45)
and i don't get it.
Davsto (14:45)
Basically Nahdia MafTiger skin was implemented and the site had a giant crash soon afterwards
Psyche (14:45)
it's not a meme
ConManMick (14:45)
They're not really a forest critter
Nahdia (14:46)
ah
Nahdia (14:46)
thanks dav
Psyche (14:46)
the natural enemy of the tiger is online forum mafia players

i thought the tiger skin happened after the emergence of the tiger threat
mykonian (14:46)
I don't think that's right dav.
Psyche (14:46)
like
mykonian (14:46)
that's the first time you encountered it.
Davsto (14:46)
Wait no not quite

Psyche (14:46)
how does the tiger skin even HAPPEN without a tiger meme already existing
mykonian (14:47)
exactlyl.
Davsto (14:47)
But it was something to do with tiger skins and crashing
mykonian (14:47)
but we did have a crash where deltawave thought a skin might help us.
mykonian (14:47)
was ehm, funny :)
Davsto (14:47)
"As a reaction to the errors on the forum style, Deltawave unveiled the Tiger forum skin before its due date, and thus the user base dubbed the crash a Tiger attack. "
Nahdia (14:47)
ah.
Nahdia (14:47)
radical.
The Bulge (14:47)
the original tigerskin crash meme was just a coincidence
The Bulge (14:47)
kinda
mykonian (14:47)
but yeah, tigers being the natural enemies is from the bluehost times even, I think.
Psyche (14:47)
just a random tiger skin??
mykonian (14:47)
which is before my time.
The Bulge (14:48)
basically iirc, the site was fucked up some how, and someone with some sort of mod-like privs messed around with the default skin to try to fix it
Psyche (14:48)
ok
The Bulge (14:48)
so it showed up as a prototype maftigers skin for everyone during a time of panic
The Bulge (14:48)
so naturally we blamed the tigers
Psyche (14:48)
kison started the article long ago without even mentioning tigers
Psyche (14:49)
and then tierce left her mark
Psyche (14:49)
hmmm
Psyche (14:49)

Psyche (14:49)
this article dates the tiger meme to 2007
dramonic (14:49)
fox squirrel cougar and owl showing up so far
The Bulge (14:50)
i could be wrong then
Psyche (14:50)
this suggests that the tiger skin emerged on april fool's day 2007
The Bulge (14:50)
incident i'm talking about was 2011
Psyche (14:50)
in 2011, then, the tiger skin had already existed for 4 years
mykonian (14:50)
yes so kindly don't tell nahdia that's where tigers as a thing come from.
mykonian (14:50)
which is how this started.
Psyche (14:50)
and was probably made the default site skin in 2011 because the tiger meme already existed
Psyche (14:51)
im gonna do more research
The Bulge (14:51)
careful psyche
The Bulge (14:51)
they might get you
mykonian (14:51)
yeah, I think you'll find a buildup to 2007, I think.
Psyche (14:51)

mykonian (14:51)
it has always felt firmly established to me.
Psyche (14:51)
this seems to be the thread that started the meme
Psyche (14:52)
someone needs to fix the wiki i think though
