TheHelper City - the MyMiniCity days...

Man I remember the first time I logged on and saw this minicity thing. I think at the time it was on the front page perhaps? It's been a long time but man that city got BIG!

I agree with Firecat, this is an awesome compilation! Keep digging stuff up. It is fun to read--some threads I recognize, and others are completely new (but juicy/nostalgic nonetheless).

Added a whole bunch of information to the Banners and Looks throughout the years page
As well as a bunch of historic banner graphics and layouts.
Added the Prolog to the Index.
Finished up the MVP path sections all to to their own posts.

Currently I am moving sections to their own posts slowly and getting a feel for how I want to expand on each one as I go. Sometimes just expanding then.

Split the MVP Path Only part of the story off to its own post and stickied it in the Site History Forum. This will act as a secondary portal to the Story.

Don't forget me :p Half of the WC3 resource Forum is MINE :D


You have to remember though, I was not and am not very active in the World Editor area. It is best if you guys write your own history and post it. I am just not up to speed with everyone who helps in World Editor.

Is there any way I can permanent sticky this thread to the top of this forum instead of it cycling through the stickied posts?

    He walked away from the first batch, learned nothing and walked away from the second batch, and then tried to toast it in a saute pan made out of aluminum so it scorched immediately and then I took away and he was sad all day

    I know our range sucks but it's still a fucking fire down there, I've never measured it but I'm sure it's like a couple thousand degrees.

    I wish I had a flat top grill in my kitchen!
  • jonas jonas:
    I wish I could cook asian dishes :D
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You just need a pressure cooker like an instapot for the asian dishes
  • The Helper The Helper:
    they make that stuff easy
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and there is a flat top grill I can buy that will work on my stovetop but it is pricey
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and I have no room for that anyway
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a thing that goes over two burners for my house, but it doesn't work great. I think they make ones that plug in where the coils go but it's not cheap.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah if you have a pressure cooker you can do lots of stuff really fast. Depending on what you're trying to do it ranges from really easy to really hard
  • Varine Varine:
    If you want to make tonkotsu broth, you're gonna have a rough time, but if you want to do like stir fries or something that tends to be pretty easy

  • Varine Varine:
    Ingredients are sometimes hard to find though, which is why we're doing 'fusion'. We don't have wok burners either, so it'll be kind of a weird transition

    Added another slow cooker recipe - this time a dessert - Slow Cooker Fried Apples https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-slow-cooker-cracker-barrel-fried-apples.192860/
  • Varine Varine:
    I have three teenagers apply for college that all asked for letters of recommendation with like two days notice lol. Like I get it guys, and I'm happy to help, but maybe tell me you need it before you need to turn these applications in?
  • Varine Varine:
    I guess they are literal children, so not exactly the best at thinking ahead. Fucking kids
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah they are just inexperienced and young
  • jonas jonas:
    I'm still horrible at that :eek: often forget things or do things on the last minute
  • The Helper The Helper:
    My daughter is same way
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Saturday people!!!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure nobody cares but I am seriously considering taking the Gaming News forum and just changing it to General Gaming Discussion since I post so much about gaming in the General Discussion Forum
  • The Helper The Helper:
