EuroSpore "Memes" and Traditions

EuroSpore has it's fair share of in-jokes and regularities, here is a list of a few of them.

Awesomephant

A "cult" that arose from the removal of the elephant smiley from the smileys list. The movement to get the smiley restored was led by Arkanay and many users agreed with his crusade.

Blop

Derived from the use of the "Lurk", this word was invented by Arkanay for the purpose of preventing a timeout within the ChatBox. Some people use it's derivative "Polb" (Blop backwards) instead.

Lurk

Used to prevent oneself from timing out in the ChatBox, was first used by Copperlou, most users have however opted for other methods.

Trickatel's Milk

This stems from a picture posted by the user, Trickatel. The picture depicts the user holding a bottle of milk and looking at in shock as he discovers it contains 40% of his RDA for Calcium. Usually discussed with the use of smiley. "Trick's Milk" is synonymous with the concept of awesome.

Urgl... ...Burgl

Derived from the "Lurk" and "Blop", the Urgl was a way of stopping your session timing out within the ChatBox. Urgl is short for Urglburgl, a word invented by Vektrix. It is common for someone to Urgl and for others to say Burgl in response.

Vektrix's Raptors

Based on the fact that Vektrix is known for a love of Raptors and for inventing several species within Spore, this is a randomly used in-joke. Essentially implying that EuroSpore is operated by a team of Raptors who ensure the smooth operation of the forum. They get blamed for various incidents (both real and imaginary).

Welcome Tour

A tradition started by LordRemington whereby any newcomers to EuroSpore who make a welcome thread are treated like they are on a tour, safari or journey of some kind. It is categorised by statements such "A Flight Attendant shall be with you shortly." and "On your left..."

NB: Other "memes" and traditions are available, our stock list will be updated.

I heard that this guy called Damnagoras kinda likes the idea of making the Mysterious Kernavoris a personal meme/mascot of his.

Who is this mystical Damnagoras you speak of?

Tricks milk.

All I'm saying.

And don't forget

I have never once spoken of a "mystical Damnagoras"... The Mysterious Kernavoris on the other hand is the one you see as my avatar. He's in the prologue of my adventure series.

Ha ha....that's awesome. Great list!

I just like giving our new members a grand welcome is all

and Trick, don't forget who discovered your milk's un-naturally high levels of Calcium

you forgot the "reverse friends" joke, vek!

Rem, you sure found out that calcium content. It's truly amazing!

I'll send a carton of my milk to everyone.

Just don't drink it at night. It'll turn you into a llama.

A milk party?

If you interpret it that way, then yes

Only can possibly describe this.
