INTRODUCTION You are about to witness the story of a site unlike any other. Not just the site that started the whole thing but also the forums that generated RegularCapital, LoftForums and lastly, these ones. It was all the work of a Portuguese Toonzone Forums user who we lost track of back in 2016. |

I might cancel it due to lack of interest

After careful considerations, I chose to restart this.

PRINCIPIA In the beginning, there was chaos. RandomMe has joined Toonzone (as it was then called) on December 30, 2012, and back in the day the forum was thriving. He was just a normal user during his first year there, until a certain life-changing event known as "the switch" (between CN Africa and CN Portugal) caused him to enter overdrive. He had very few Portuguese friends. The first one during his stay at Toonzone (now Anime Superhero) was szjdfgs, who came from the void just to cover the change and later become a permanent fixture, for another four or five years. Despite being Portuguese he was an immigrant, living in south-eastern Belgium (precisely in the province of Luxembourg) and later moved to the country of Luxembourg, having an illegal ZON satellite subscription. But the Portuguese friend that helped him create this string of forums (RTF, RCF, LF, RMF) was artnerfy, from Barreiro, Greater Lisbon, to be more accurate. He soon became intimately connected with RandomMe on various fronts, notably e-mails upon the creation of the RandomMe Entertainment brand name in 2014. He was also a key element of Cartoon Media Group (now Prartoon). On December 6, 2014, an event would trigger the creation of the string of forums. Find out next time. |

DAY ONE That Saturday was a game-changer. After receiving a notification from artnerfy on numerous sources, including Toonzone, I started advertising the blog on my now-defunct CN Africa blog. The reason why I did a CN Africa blog was to give support to Turner and revert the decision of bringing Cartoon Network Portugal or let the African version co-exist with ours. The end result was revealed during later stages of RT's history. This is what I wrote: "I am about to contribute on a blog called RegularTaxi. Think Regular Show mixed in with RebelTaxi with elements from RegularCapital.com taken in for good measure. You can see the test site on the link here: regulartaxi.cf. Still in test mode." Soon, within epheons of nanoseconds, RegularCapital started saying that it was a blatant knockoff. I didn't even resist and resorted to a laughing session, and then he responded: "Funny in the sense that it's ripping me off? It doesn't bother me at all that your reporting on CN news, it's my identity that has been partly stolen, I just made a post about Ninjago and then a post appeared immediately on yours and artnerfy's new website. Yes, I can see many things that need to be corrected and I don't like the layout much." artnerfy later suggested that the name wasn't a rip-off of RegularCapital (he would eventually jump train to our forums) and said that it was inspired by Regular Show. This sparked a situation known as the RegularGate. Luckily it was finished within hours. |
