Out of all of the silly events that happened on this site (like the Kracko obsession during the 2017 TBT Fair, the 2019 April Fool?s Bell Tree Week, and the whole pizza thread trend in November 2014), what would be your absolute favorite. Keep in mind that this is not referring to holidays and events in general (like the TBT Fair), but the funny stuff that happened. And more importantly, do not discuss past dramas or troubles done by other members (like all the cheating dramas or how threads got locked). This thread is about the good times, not the bad times.

For me, it would definitely have to be when the staff implemented a filter that changed ?Halloween? to ?Christmas?. That filter lasted over two weeks, and we couldn?t say the holiday name for candy collecting without it being changed to ?Christmas?. Even when we bypass the censor, it still changes it to ?Christmas? (including when one of the members posted a picture of the word ?Halloween?, only for a moderator to correct the image to saying ?Christmas?). This was a big deal, especially when we were totally hyped for Halloween after the TBT Fair. It eventually turned off when October began, but that was the best event that ever happened on this site.
 
I have fond memories of the April Fools 2017 event, where the staff replaced all the collectibles the background of PNG avatars with fleas, and fleas rained down on the forum. Then after all that craziness, the staff went full stupid and literally broke the entire website, exposing those collectibles which have the entire Bee Movie script written on them and effectively making all forum posts 1873 miles long. What a great time to be a member.

I also loved the TBT Fair 2017, since the theme was arcade games and the new collectibles were really awesome. Plus, I finally won a contest (specifically the bucket of paint contest, also surprising since this was the first fair I actually participated in) and I got a tetris grid collectible! I also had a really high score in Breakout (I think I may have had the highest score, too bad I didn't get any trophy for that) and the other arcade games were really fun to play. Just wish I would've been able to participate more, but I was in school at the time ;;
 
The Kracko obsession is by far the best thing that ever happened on this site. It totally changed my life, I have seen the light now : pray : :kracko: : pray :

Some other happenings that made me chuckle were:
-The Christmas filter as you mentioned
-Jambette vs. Chief and how everyone went crazy campaigning and there were hilarious site banners
-Wierd dolls
-The recent "7" extravaganza based on clue 21 in the egg hunt
-The forum server crash of February 2018 - while it made the site annoying as heck to use it was also really funny, especially when they put a picture of the servers burning in the banner and made the error screen of everything on fire

I actually caught this again during the recent egg hunt

Probably the Fair in 2014, man those were the wild days. I still treasure my green pinwheel since that trivia night hasn't come back for some reasons so I guess I'll defend that for some time. And IRC were much better since it wasn't as spam as the Discord.
 
I’m gonna have to say the Kracko incident. I got the mirror to it correct, and I was quite giggling when people were talking nuts when they got the mirror wrong. What made matters worse is that the Staff will forever torment the members here with every event that will almost always have Kracko inside. Not only that but Kracko is a swear word here now.
 
I'm usually never on time for events, I may be able to catch them later throughout the days but I have never fully participated in an event until Christmas 2018! That was the only event I was able to participate in every activity so far and it was quite fun! I do wish I hadn't missed the TBT Fairs though but I was pretty much on hiatus for most of these events

2019 April Fools Stealing bels was a complete blast and some of the most fun I've had here in ages
2019 Easter Hunt All the eggs were beautiful, the clues challenging but not entirely evil, and plenty of nightmare fuel
Wierd Dolls Need i say more?
Jambette vs. Chief Everyone came completely unglued. it was insane
TBT Fairs The fair is my favorite event! 2017 and 2014 were particularly fun. hope we get one this year!!

I use "Kracko" as a swear word so often irl (because I don't use actual swear words) that some of my friends and family have started using it too.

Yeah, I’m pretty much on the same boat as Hatori. I don’t remember what events, if any, I participated in in the past. My two favorite events since returning to TBT a year ago were

2018 Christmas Event
Kaleidoclover Raffle Event

I enjoyed them both very much because I was able to actually get some collectibles from each of them. :)

Are you Krackoing serious about this? (sorry that I couldn’t help myself)

Another event I liked - when Jeremy became Dorkenstein. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for months when that happened.

Do they even know what a "Kracko" is? More of it, do they even know what a "The Bell Tree Forums" is?
 
The retro themed fair (2017?) was probably my favorite because I was actually involved at the time it was going on. So I participated and got a ton of collectibles lol. The arcade add-on was really fun and I worked hard on all my entries for things. Also Kracko too ;)

Also this past egg hunt, for total selfish reasons. Getting the golden egg is a pretty dope memory

Not the bad kind of selfishness though.
