I'll be honest the most memorable moments for me probably are some of the most negative moments in the forum's history; the 2015 forum compromise. As well, as when Satoshi's GMX account was compromised, and was announced here on the forum by theymos. Thankfully the malicious user didn't actually utilize it for anything bad, and was mainly used to troll, at least to our knowledge. Although, I think theymos himself noted he was rather disappointed by the level of trolling displayed. Obviously, I'll echo others in that Hal's posts will always be somewhat memorable. The 2015 compromise was actually quite big, and I think we are potentially still seeing the effects of that now, with several users cracking passwords, and accounts being banned. At least, in the years following it was a bigger issue than users realised. We probably lost some prolific users during that time due to concerns of security, and privacy.
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of good memories here on the forum, but they don't particularly stick out as much as the negative, naturally.
