Commissioner Beketov 8,996 Posted July 18, 2018 Commissioner Share Posted July 18, 2018 For anyone who doesn't know, today marks the VHL's 11th birthday as the original site was opened July 18th, 2007. Wow that's a long time. In celebration of our site's birthday we figured it would be best to give out some free stuff because who doesn't like free stuff? So, in this topic, please share your fondest VHL memory, whatever that may be and irregardless of how long you've been here, and you'll receive 11 TPE (uncapped) free as well as a doubles week which can be used any time within the next month (week ending August 19th). That's the equivalent of 17 TPE for simply making 1 post and posting a PT as usual, seems like a pretty solid deal to me.

Spade18 1,305 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Had a lot in a short time here, but winning the founders cup in my first year with my first player was really cool. Then getting named GM of the Las Vegas Aces, and then a short time later, GM of the New York Americans. This place has been nothing but great! Here's to 11 more years!

jacobaa19 191 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 My best memory being here was when My player was drafted I wasn’t a first round pick but I went earlier then expected it was great! Tyler and Spade18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik 4,113 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Just re-read the OP Favourite memory? Probably winning the S1 Continental Cup. That shit was supposed to go to Calgary with how they dad-dicked the league that season. Shutting them down and winning the Playoff MVP was real cool.

Commissioner Beketov 8,996 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Commissioner Share Posted July 18, 2018 My best Memory is probably still being inducted as a builder in the HOF. Most take it for granted, especially now since I’ve gotten into the BOG and the blue team afterward, but it was a big deal for me. Up to that point no one had been inducted that wasn’t a GM, simmer, or commish at some point. It really made me realize that I hadn’t wasted all these years on nothing that impacted anyone and it felt great to get that little bit of recognition. Also being draft 1st overall twice now, that’s fun. Spade18 and diamond_ace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaviss 4,957 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This place has taken over my life. Favorite moment is most likely becoming Commish of the VHLM everyone at the time thought it was a bad idea except @Frank hope I proved all the people wrong!

Admin Victor 10,911 Posted July 18, 2018 Admin Share Posted July 18, 2018 11 fucking years. You know it felt like this league was around for ages when I joined it and it wasn't even 2 years old then. Fondest memory - gonna go for a weird one here - stepping down as commish. The heartfelt messages I received then really made it all feel worthwhile. It still makes me hope one day I can dedicate myself to such a demanding role again as it's something that people really care about. In before someone says that was also their fondest memory.

Admin Victor 10,911 Posted July 18, 2018 Admin Share Posted July 18, 2018 I assume the 17 TPE replaces the 6 TPE PT as well, but still 6 other weekly TPE to play with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably wasn’t as clear as I should be. 11 TPE is uncapped. The extra 6 I mentioned is from a doubles week that can be used any time in the next month.

Donno100 94 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 My fondest memory here has to be being drafted to a high tier VHLM team and then beginning my career on top. Spade18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jRuutu 2,462 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 There has been a lot of nice and entertaining moments, winning the cup with both of my previous players and doing it with the teams that drafted me, but in the bigger picture writing articles and 500 words every week here has really improved my English skills, especially in written form. (Big thanks to Phil and Jala who checked my poorly written articles in the beginning, which made it possible for me to earn the max points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgehog337 3,483 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 My fav moments are all based on winning. Toronto, Bratislava, Riga, all of them. The fondest memory gotta be Krīgars and his 300 TPE superman performance + @boubabi reaction on it. Fire Tortorella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid1486 577 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 My favorite moment was being named GM of Toronto way, way back in S24 or so...it didn't work out the way I would have hoped, but it was definitely the peak of my time in the league.

der meister 3,179 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 For me, it’s meeting guys like @BOOM™ and @Phil. This league is nothing without its users, and these two guys are two of the best. diamond_ace and BOOM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagger 2,722 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Can’t remember the season off-hand, but when I was GM for the Las Vegas Aces and we beat the Oslo Storm to get to the VHLM Final despite the fact we’d had like a third of their points during the regular season, that was a good memory.
