Tell me about the lore of this place

[Dr. DiegO]

TBA was way ahead of the curve when it came to dunking on the kirbster
his career is basically over now cuz of a tumblr post from an ex gf that continues to haunt him to this day
it's all a bit sad tbh

I'm surprised he still around after that

[Dr. DiegO]

Somehow, I managed to slip and fall into one of the cracks in the Alley In one of my usual exploration. It's nice to have a glance of the old look of TBA before the big reset because the Wayback Machine snapshots don't work past 2010 and this is the only chance I managed to see from this period. although, I do manage to get some from 2005 to 2009, broken, but it is something.

the redirect broke the archive i guess, but you can try checking thebackalleys.com/forum on the wayback machine.

here's a screenshot of layout v6 (?). this is back when discord did not exist and chat was a web-based IRC plugin called mibbit.

Once again, my Skill Issue makes a fool of me. Although, looks beautiful tho.

With the current situation a shitty announcement would be enough, but if you manage to surprise us. that would be cool.

Watching YouTube I managed to get an Rtil jumpscare by reaching the SmileyCentral section of this video about the story of Clip Art. it features your Flash alongside an anecdote about trying to hire you because they liked the flash despite that it was made in spite of their advertisement lmao.

It's a good video too. worth checking it out.

[rtil]

I wonder who she was talking about when she said they tried to hire someone who made a video about smileycentral. If it was me, I don't remember. Obviously back then I did not post that video on youtube, and if someone did, it wasn't me. even now, almost all my flash cartoons that are on youtube are not uploaded by me.
