I do. I believe it was when I first started reading this board - or close to it.

I was like wtf.

baddog · 03-09-2006, 02:27 PM

Sly · 03-09-2006, 02:29 PM

I heard Tim has upgraded to small dogs.

kenny · 03-09-2006, 02:30 PM

That must of been 2 or 3 years ago.

Sly · 03-09-2006, 02:38 PM

Ted, sorry. Ted!

jjjay · 03-09-2006, 02:39 PM

are prohosters still in business?

Makingcoin · 03-09-2006, 02:39 PM

Hard to forget, did they ever set up a both that year?

chupacabra · 03-09-2006, 02:53 PM

lol, hysterical to see this thread... was actually thinking about Ted and his cat tossing antics earlier today for some reason. i remember how he didn't show at the convention at the last minute, a group of peeps were supposedly going to stomp his cat-tossing ass at the show..

They were bought by Carpathia hosting. Ironic because Carpathia is the name of the ship that rescued passengers from a sinking ship, Titanic.

I just took a look at their site. Their plans seem pretty decent.

Nope they sure didn't.

pr0 · 03-09-2006, 03:05 PM

anyone still have the video somewhere??????

morruga · 03-09-2006, 03:08 PM

weird... i would like to know more about this! :D

Sarah_Jayne · 03-09-2006, 03:09 PM

I wonder what could have brought it up in your mind ;)

To me it is one of those things that was so insane it was great to watch. I found myself once not thinking and asking a non-industry friend if he remembered the cat swining scandal before remembering that it was only such a huge story to our little community. If felt like it had been live on CNN every night for week.

chodadog · 03-09-2006, 03:09 PM

Can't believe I still have this image. From when they had some downtime due to a router failure shortly after the cat tossing incident.

yep, classic GFY, comedy gold... the scuttlebutt was that Ted made it halfway to the show and turned back at a connecting flight after reading the GFY threads, lol..
