For those who haven't been around for long and aren't getting all the references that users make, I've made a list of memes that have come about due to various events throughout this forum's history, so that newer users can get some references:
"12":
"Who should play Quote? Nicholas Cage.":
"I will diatract you with my true monologue":
"You idoit":
"cristmas is over retard":
"He's my borther":
"Dunc of the explosion":
"WHO'S CHIVALRY?":
"MINECRAFT STORY":
"The Curly Brace":
"Uberkat":
I don't have time to finish this right now, but I'll work on it when I have time. Feel free to name some I may have missed, and maybe help with the ones that I myself wasn't around for.
"12":
Origin: The term "12" or "twelve" was coined for more specific usage on these forums to refer to the younger demographic of members who began flooding into these forums in 2011 and have displayed a much lower maturity level than most new members prior to that era. The term "twelve" does not refer exclusively to users who are twelve years of age at a given time, but rather anyone that the community deems to possess the maturity level of someone under the age of thirteen. This term is particularly iconic because of its continual use and that fact that it pays homage to rule #1 of the forum rules which states that users here must either be at least thirteen years of age, or have an equivalent maturity level.
Usage: A user may use this term by simply calling another user "12" in retaliation towards the latter user for recent behavior that most in the community would agree represents that of a child younger than thirteen. A sentence using the term can be formed in a variety of ways, such as "You're 12.", "Stop being so 12.", and "Don't worry about him, he's 12.". In most cases, someone will say "He's twelve." rather than "He's twelve years old" when referring to this meme, because the latter form of use can be misleading if not tactfully used in the right context.

Examples:
Parkraft123: The worst resturant I've eaten at would be this eygption place.
Nadojin: You kidding me man Eygption food is the best.
Parkraft123: I was like, 8 or 9, I didn't enjoy it fully. Do you really expect a kid around that age to enjoy an Egyptian restaurant?
(FYI the moderators already knew I was 12, but I turned 13 a couple days ago)
duncathan: Take a very close look at your original post, then his post, then apologize for the misunderstanding.
Wild Desu: Forever 12.
"Who should play Quote? Nicholas Cage.":

"I will diatract you with my true monologue":

"cristmas is over retard":
Origin: The "cristmas is over retard" meme originated from an incident that took place on December 29th, 2011, in a topic dedicated to rating each other's avatars and signatures. When evaluating the avatar and signature possessed at the time by duncathan (at the time known as Dunc2403), Dash360 ridiculed his avatar for being behind on times for having a reindeer edit of Toroko's face picture numerous days after christmas, and lambasted his signature for containing a quote from Captain Fabulous, a user with whom he had a personal vendetta.
Usage: Whenever it is satirically appropriate to criticize one's work, words, or some recent event, one will write: "1/10 _____ is over retard". The blank should be something whose end would humorously suggest that the thing being criticized is obsolete and unnecessary. It is customary to also add "2/10 _____ is a duche". The blank in that sentence should be something undesirable or considered low quality and is in some way related to the thing this meme is criticizing. Is is important, when using this meme, that the word "douche" is spelled D-U-C-H-E, without the "o". In some cases, the "1/10" and "2/10" may be dropped if the meme is being used such that the user is calling someone out rather than evaluating them, in which case having the numbers there wouldn't make much sense. If the numbers are used, then "1/10" must be the number added to the "retard" line, and "2/10" must be the number added to the "duche" line. In some cases, only one of the two phrases will be used. It is also appropriate for one user to say "____ is over retard", and for another to add to what they said by saying "_____ is a duche"
Examples:
The post was subject to much mockery, and laid the groundwork for the "cristmas is over retard" meme which would see its use primarily throughout the year 2012, but is still occasionally referenced to to this day.Dash360 said:

"MINECRAFT STORY":
Origin: The "MINECRAFT STORY" meme came about due to an incident that transpired in the (now closed) ideas and development section. Any new thread in that forum beyond 2010 mas met with instant skepticism, but the thread started on May 24, 2012 by Miniflip_14 was a particular sight to behold due to the low-content all-caps structure of the original post which was presented in a manner that epitomized the trend of abandoned ideas.
Usage: The "MINECRAFT STORY" meme is used a follows:
Examples:
The post was made fun of for its stereotypical usage of the word "story" in the title and presenting the idea of "Cave Story-ifying" an existing video game franchise, a practice considered unoriginal given the number of other mods and ideas titled that way. Users then began rewording Miniflip's post from giving the idea for minecraft to doing the same for any other medium they could think of. Miniflip was later embarrassed, removed the content from his original post, and renamed the thread title from trying to present an idea to a forum-based game where users were encouraged to continue mocking the original post. The meme has seen steady use since then.Miniflip_14 said:
Usage: The "MINECRAFT STORY" meme is used a follows:
The first blank is filled with the title of some other medium, the second one some character associated with acquisition of weaponry or some other character who helps the main character along their quest, the third one is usually an easily-recognized weapon or item from that medium, and the last blank is filled to make a sentence that describes the usage of the item retrieved from the chest. Subtle changes are sometimes made to the exact wording of some of the lines in order to better fit the medium, especially the last line since the usage of the item acquired is likely to be less specific. It may be appropriate to use this meme when a new user makes an announcement for a new Cave Story mod that is reminiscent of Miniflip's thread, or when an aspect of some medium is portrayed as being strikingly similar to a certain aspect of Cave Story. In such cases, a user will respond by bursting out and filling this meme's blanks with aspects of the medium mentioned by the other user.
