Today's montage for episodes #570 & #571 marks the 1000th montage that I've put together for the various incarnations of this forum, which began on October 7, 1998 as Midnite's and my dream for a troll-free, safe and sane place to discuss DS. (Don't even ask about how insane some corners of online fandom were back in 1998!) And some skeptics said we'd never last!
(And just think, ma petite tourterelle, of how many graphics you've missed out on being able to complain about! But why do I think you'll more than try to make up for that?
)
But rather than this being a post to pat ourselves on the back, it's actually a chance for another "cousin" to earn the right to a custom title* of their choosing. In a way, what I'm about to ask relates indirectly to today's 1000th montage. And, once again, your powers of observation will come into play (because I know how much you all
LOVE questions like that
)
Almost three weeks ago, I deliberately did something to three consecutive montages that I've never done before or since. The first "cousin" who can post (in a completely unedited post - yes, we can tell) what it was that I did, what episodes were depicted in the three montages, and how what I did to the first of those three montages relates to today's 1000th montage will earn the opportunity to make up their own custom title! You have until Thursday at 2:00pm ET/11am PT...
Good luck!! (But if you know you're DS episodes, you won't need luck because you already know the answers, and you were probably just too polite to say anything at the time (which worked right into my plans) - but now is certainly your time to speak up!
)
(* A custom title cannot violate the forum's guidelines or contain any of the forum's censored words. It can't be something that members earn through posting (so no jumping to Full, Senior or God). And it can't be something like Webmaster, Moderator or Administrator because those postions have already been taken.
