    Many things have happened, and now it's finally time for you to retire.


    What are you most grateful for receiving from UPSB and your stay here?

    What are you looking forward to in the future?

    lol blah i got into psing because of snsd and you got into snsd because of psing xD

    well this site was the first psing board i've been on, and i've only been here 5 months so it's sad to see it go already D: i learned tricks here and also got new mods here. I guess I just hope that the new site is more improved tongue.gif

    I joined this server in 2007 after UCPSB closed down. That is where I really got my start I got into spinning from some of the old JapEn collabs like a lot of people did. I have came and gone a lot but i have loved this forum its done me well but I am also very excited for V4!

    Well, UPSB v4 will not be released until this weekend, the moderators are currently touching up the site and prepping it for our arrival, transferring over many threads, so right now, all we can do is wait until they post the new link.

    I first started spinning under the aid of UCPSB, when I first discovered penspinning the forums were in the process of moving so I was turned off from the community for a few months and studied by myself using Pentrix.

    Later that year I joined UPSB v3 and began to learn much more about ps'ing,

    Let's see, UPSB has always been there when you needed it (except for its habit of crashing).

    I'll never forget all the trolls and scammers, all the spams and combos, all the great shoutbox moments.

    I hope that UPSB v4 will bring a new boost back to UPSB which has been decreasing recently, and help spring a new generation of spinners and creativity.

    Also, i'll always remember how much we love eso's tits laugh.gif.

    this board was the first board I have joined, before joining fpsb, ppsc and mypsc.

    It was in this board that I was able to meet international as well as local PSers. It was in this board that I learnt to mod and to PS.
    it was also here I learnt memes (I heard you liek mudkipz) and some acros like FTW and IKR? lolz

    I enjoyed the small time improving the Wiki (though it got wiped out by the time travel)

    can't believe 2 years passed by so fast ohmy.gif

    oh well, I bid you farewell UPSB v3. You have served us well. I hope your successor, UPSB v4, will serve us well.

    What a great year and some odd months I had on UPSB v3.

    I can remember it clearly:
    -Making my first bictory and spamming picture of mods in SOYP for 3 months
    -Spamming the shoutbox intensively like a deranged schoolgirl
    -Mistook Eriror for Eso
    -Gave away too much information on my first trade
    -Constantly had UPSB opened in another tab
    -Randomass pic thread war started
    -Participated in my first collab
    -EPYC
    -SOTW
    -many shoutbox moments

    Though short-lived, UPSB is like a second orphanage to me.

    we're changing software altogether, because the current software is not so good even when updated
