Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

SHS Official Fad Topic; that's right, I have finally done it.
Topic Started: 09/12/2010 - 04:45 pm (2,463 Views)

Hopefully it doesn't get bad enough where I have to move this topic into Spam, so let's begin.

EDIT: it's in spam, but it's pinned. enjoy <3

EDIT EDIT: it's in miscellaneous now, and it's still pinned. enjoy <3

I was reading Natsu's topic in the New Members section and he asked about the Esquire thing. I decided to make a fad topic of the fads I have witnessed throughout the years.

At Shadow Stars, we have had many fads or "trends". I will list them in chronological order with an explanation, but remember.. THESE ARE ONLY THROUGHOUT 2010-2012.

1st Fad: The Kermit Fad

Kermit Fad
Posted Image

This was popular in January of this year, this was actually the original "All Nighters" group. Criss originally brought up that picture of Kermit, and it went out of control. A lot of members started to use it (except Shiro <_<) and it grew on the "All Nighters". It became a fad for a week, then died like all fads do.


2nd Fad: The Shy Guy Fad

Shy Guy Fad
Posted Image

The Shy Guy fad became popular in June, and it started out with Geerz and his classic Green Shy Guy. The influence became heavy and I took upon the role of AntiGuy. All this talk of Paper Mario and Shy Guys, we eventually made everyone into a Shy Guy (who were active at the time). I must say, this was a very long fad. I am going to say a few weeks it lasted, it was definitly one of SHS's most popular fads.


3rd Fad: California Gurls Fad

California Gurls 1
Posted Image

California Gurls 2
Posted Image

Okay, I am dead serious on this one. When it was popular, it was popular in SHS as well. Not just the members, but the staff as well (see pics above). I am very confident this was influenced by myself and Dest, this went on for no more than a week. Personally my favorite fad.


4th Fad: Sailor Moon Fad
This is going to be a long read, so focus people! This started out I believe in mid August, and it lasted for no more than 2 weeks. The Sailor Scouts are as followed:


Sailor Moon (Rez)

Spoiler: click to toggle

Sailor Venus (Pidgey)

Sailor Mercury (Kutios)

Sailor Mars (Gangstafier)

Sailor Jupiter (Nightmoves)

Sailor Saturn (Myles)

Sailor Uranus (Chain)

Sailor Neptune (Zaurd)

Sailor Pluto (Shockhead)
Spoiler: click to toggle

and... TUXEDO MASK (LYCAN)

Spoiler: click to toggle
Posted Image


Even though some members did not want to be Sailor Scouts, we forced it upon them B-) . As for who started this fad, I am not quite sure but I will guess and say it was Myself and a few others (Kutios and Pidgey). Another epic fad that goes down in SHS History.


5th Fad: The Majora Fad
http://shadowstars.co.uk/topic/8023973/1/
I am going to give credit to SHS_JJEmpire and Shiro for this one, I don't know if others would claim it as a fad but I know I sure did. This took place in mid September and I know members would wait for the new video or "truth.txt" as people would say. I thought it was pretty cool to be honest, this definitly was the main conversation in the chatbox for sure at the time.


6th Fad: The VoNC on Dest
http://shadowstars.co.uk/topic/8046789/1/#new
This has got to be the biggest one of them all, this was what everyone was talking about. This started in late September, and lasted until... oh gosh. I am going to say... late October? This was not just a fad, but made SHS history as a major controversy. There were a lot of people taking sides and very few neutrals. After the poll ended, Lycan took his leave and we were kind of left clueless on what to do. Dest did remain an Administrator, and still is currently. Kudos to Dest~

EDIT: Dest is no longer admin.


7th Fad: The "Pokemon Shadow" Fad

This became popular when Dest started bringing it around SHS... I'm going to say late october early november. For any Pokemon you'd like to have, he could get a forum avatar for you for that pokemon with a shadowing effect. Hard do describe, maybe I'll edit in a picture sometime soon. This died as of late november, and lasted for quite sometime.


8th Fad: The Yu-Gi-Oh Fad

To my knowledge, this is still current for Yang is still Dark Magician Girl XD
The members who took on a Yu-Gi-Oh Monster are:

Yang - Dark Magician Girl
Kutios - Breaker the Magical Warrior
Shiro - Black Luster Shiro
Myself - Toon Summoned Skull
Pidgey - Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon
Myles - Elemental Hero Bubbleman


We all had the Japanese name of the Monster and the xat avatar to match as well. Like I said earlier, I am positive this is still current, as I was doing YGO stuff with Kutios yesterday. I will edit this part when the fad dies down.

EDIT: This fad died as of November.


9th Fad: The "lets all go to the old shs cbox and hang there" Fad
This was only for one night, but A LOT of members participated, even JJ. I think Shiro started this fad, and it was automatically successful. Instead of going to the Chatbox on the SHS site, we all went to the old cbox Lycan made. Quite epic if you ask me, good times. I was still mod on that chatbox XD and pidgey as well.



10th Fad: The Esquire Fad

Well... I do not have any images because it's currently happening! This must of started earlier this week. Take a look around the forum, and you will see forum avatars with tophats and monocules. This fad was started by none other than SHS_Pidgey, and I quote:


SHS_Pidgey
 
and the way the esquire thing started was when I randomly said to shiro "YOU WILL ADRESS ME AS SIR PIDGEY OF THE FOURTH ESQUIRE!" Then rez said he was of the 5th esquire. One thing led to another and there yah go...


I am sure Pidgey would be glad to give you an Esquire ranking, the rankings are as followed:

0th Esquire - Geerz
1st Esquire - Yang
2nd Esquire - Death
3rd Esquire - Kutios
4th Esquire - Pidgey
5th Esquire - Me
7th Esquire - Slash
13th Esquire - Shiro
666th Esquire - Dest
9001st Esquire - SHS_JJEmpire


If I have missed anyone, please let me know and I will edit you in.

EDIT: This fad has died as of mid-December.


11th Fad: Doodle Fad

Doodle
Posted Image


Take a look around, all the Moderators have epic doodles of their favorite characters or characters that resemble them. We also doodle on the xat chatbox everyday as well. This is CURRENT, I will edit this when the fad dies down (probably in a few days, who knows!). This has taken effect I'd say around Monday? or Sunday...which would mean 4-5 days ago.

EDIT: I think it's safe to say this fad died as of monday, December 13th =)


12th Fad: Fairy Tail Fad

It seems more and more people are watching Fairy Tail (anime), so it`s becomming a fad on the chatbox. You may have 1 female and 1 male character. The list of characters are:

Shiro - Salamander (Natsu)/Virgo/Juvia
Pidgeot - Happy/Carla

Dest - Gray
Yang - Lucy
Me - Erza/Ichiya/Loke
Myles - Elfman
Nate - Taurus/Edo Jellal/Satan Soul Mirajane
Zaurd - Reedus/Levy


If I have missed anyone, let me know.

EDIT: You're also allowed 1 celestial spirit. So.. 1 male, 1 female and 1 celestial spirit is MAX. This fad died around early January 2011, and so ends the fads for now.


13th Fad: Alouette's drawings

I forgot to put this in this topic.... but this was a fad in late 2010. Infact, you can still ask for requests found here:

http://shadowstars.co.uk/topic/8172149/1/


EDIT: Alouette's character shop is OFFICIALY closed. If you have a request, please PM her, and she will consider.


14th Fad: The Navi Fad
Ah yes, we all had a different colored Navi avatar on the Xat Chatbox. How epic indeed.. I wasn't on often, but I saw it go on through june. Maybe july, don't know. Everyone had one, it was neat. I think Caz supplied the navi avis, so props. This ended as of July 2011.


15th Fad: The Skype Fad
Awesome. A group of us go on Skype everyday to socialize/hang out/ whatever you want to call it. Since some of you don't want others to know you Skype ID, I won't create a list. I, however, will list the people I have conversed with everyday (and others sometimes):

Pidgeot
Chain
Rhadamanthus
geer
Slash
youtwo12
Flying Oso
SHS_JJEmpire
Kamaya Painter

Feel free to join in whenever you guys want, anyone can join. It is usually hosted by Pidgey or myself, as Pidgey and I always start this off. This list of people is whom you can ask for their Skype ID, or if we're on Skype ATM. I have lots of people from SHS added on Skype, but not all of you are on often, so this list CAN change if you want to be added. This fad is CURRENTLY happening.


16th Fad: The "o" Fad

This started around December and ended mid-january. It consisted of saying "o" in spam topics, and most of the time quoting that "o" post to form a pyramid. Eventually the "o" quote pyramid got so long that the original post with "o" dissapears. The people who were involved in this fad were:

Myself
youtwo12
Oso
Geerz


Due to members being annoyed by it, we have decided to stop as well as reaching the end of the "o" quote pyramid.


17th Fad: The "Lion King" Fad

Information provided by Colonel Oso. The fad started by 2 SHS members watching this film. It happened from December - January for 2 weeks. The rolls of the members/characters are as followed:

Oso was Mufoso
Kutios was Simbios
Caz was Cala
JJ was RafJJ
Nate was Pumbate
Myles was Timyles


This fad has ended as of current.

18th Fad: The "Nuzlocke/pokemon run" Fad

It seems as this is popular at the moment, except some people just sort of stopped after making a topic. They are all over the forum, why not go check out some Nuzlocke topics or some sort of "run" on a video game?

This ended months ago, I do not know the end date.



19th Fad: The Yu-Gi-Oh Forum Avatar Fad


This fad involves Shadow Stars members putting a yugioh monster as their forum avatar. This is CURRENTLY happening. The list is as followed:

Nestor - Skull Guardian
SHS_JJEmpire - Black Luster Soldier
dusk - Toon Summoned Skull
Youtwo - Blue Eyes White Dragon
Prof Pidgey - Red Eyes Black Dragon
Oso - Chaos Command Magician
geer - Left Leg of the Forbidden One
Mylesperhour23 - Elemental Hero Neo Bubbleman
The Deadman - Meteor B. Dragon


And there you have it~!

This is current as of August 21st 2012.


I will definitly add more fads to this topic as we continue along. If I have missed any fads, please do share and I will properly cite them into this topic. This is how we roll folks!

Credits to Pidgey, Geerz, Alouette and Colonel Oso for supplying information.
