Japhan definitely.
That was a good time of being in the Phandom. A lot of videos were happening around the time. The liveshows were good and long. There was a lot to talk about back then and the Phandom seemed to be in a happy place. They should go back please. I don't find D & P dull now but you know what I mean.

But his last video will be GOODBYE INTERNET. right
You guys have some more funny info/links to all your favourite dramas? Y'know for us who joined the Phandom late, do we can laugh ourselves at all the stuff that happened

Oh dear... D&P related dreams. Thank goodness I'm amongst like-minded people, because I woke up this morning seriously wondering about what constitutes an unhealthy obsession...!
Seriously though, if D&P need an idea for filling 5-10 mins or so of TATINOF, they need to HMU.

I can't seem to find info on the "Isle of Man" situation. Could someone throw a source at me.
Much love, many appreciate
But who the fuck am I kidding? I'm mostly just the rotting banana peel at the bottom of the phan trash can who genuinely gets excited over the thought of them snuggling in bed. Idgaf let a bitch live

You mean you don't know about it? That's a legit question, not a patronizing statement or anything! It was when Dan posted this photo:
(omg that's huge lol) and everyone was speculating as to why Dan was on the Isle of Man with Phil's family (?) on father's day instead of with his own.

Edit: So I wasn't prepared for the death talk in the thread.

while i'm at it, what's the code to make the text smaller? i swear i've tried everything but i still can't find it sorry to bother.
i loved vidcon (phil trash #1 ) & japan, but my favourites were iom and the 'awkward photoshoot'. (if someone doesn't know what i mean, i put the picture under the spoiler)

I am not kidding I just almost teared up. There was an awful fanfic that had that feature but dan died there so...
And then dan does his little salute at the end and goes.. goodbye internet... I'll show myself out
ooooor he jumps into the screen again to say "but fyi I like vagina. "

My favourite moments in the phandom are probably the times when we analyse their psyche deeply. probably not very ethical, but I live on the edge

Looking forward to gossiping with you all
We just did some technical stuff. It's you guys who make the board "fun and fast moving".

Japan was definitely a great time to be a fan I think it was especially nice after all the high emotions surrounding the book/tour being announced so suddenly. they used instagram so much more during that time rip
the rumors are terrible and cruel
but, honey, most of them are true
Damn, all this talk of Japhan is making me miss that month the cherry blossoms, the total platonic selfies...
[offtopic]Just thought I'd let anyone know that doesn't follow gabby's thread that they have also rebelled against the blockaholic mods and started their own forum on youtalktrash.com guru gossip must be so pissed that two of their most active threads have been reduced to nothing lolol
Edit: also, the ever-lying gabzisshite deleted her account [/offtopic]

Hello, hello. Longtime gg lurker and occasional poster, back again.
Sorry about the lack of avatar! I swear I'll remember once I get on my computer. Lovely to see all these familiar faces at a shiny fast forum (oqua, jhamba and missemma, you are my heroes ). And I'm glad that so many avatars are the same as before; it helps me distinguish everyone from the crowd.
I've been madly busy, combined with sucky internet (not to mention gg acting up like always), so mostly missed the jhamba drama happening live. Thanks to Delta for the lovely pm; it might have taken me longer to remember this place existed otherwise.
DST is on in the UK? Noo! Guess I will watch Dan's shows afterwards now, like I do Phil's (being alert enough at 7 on a Wednesday morning is too much for me). And once DST goes on here next week, it will be even worse.
In other news, I loved the gaming video. I'm kind of looking forwards to the US tour, though I'm on the wrong side of the world to experience it; if the UK tour is anything to go by, they'll post even more videos than usual ... let's hope ...
edit: i may or may not have muddled the daylight savings thing ... ignore my whinging ...

I only found dnp in november 2015, so i wasn't there for any of this drama, or Japhan adventures, or lubegate, etc. In that sense i can see how someone could find recent months of -domestic- routine kinda dull. Not much drama happening in dnp world nowadays.
Only thing that comes in mind is when Phil posted than picture from cafe with "his friend Rosie" and phandom freaked out for a second. To this day i personally can't decide if he was trolling or genuinely didn't see what reaction it would cause.
Will they go on holiday or will they just stop off for a few days on tour somewhere? Perhaps LA for a bit and a bit of Danthony oooh yeah.
Thanks to the lovely staff for making me a moddie; I have nerdy skills and have worked in IT for an embarrassing length of time so anything I can do to help this lovely place is my pleasure. Excited to be involved!
