First Forum Memories

[shiney]

I think we were at ezboard slightly longer than we were at TWC. A few people from back then I kinda miss.

Ziro1, Tara, Balraznor, Boobachu (Boobachu!)...names of days gone past I spose.

Wonder why they didn't migrate with the rest of us.

Eh.

The first forum I joined was an Everquest forum back in middle school (or maybe 9th grade, can't quite remember) when I first started playing Everquest. Thinking back it was really poorly run, and very spammy with lots of double and triple posting. It was fun though.

I've had some bad times with boards. I was on Draco's lair a long time ago, very briefly. Same name actually, though I only posted like twice before the whole thing blew up. Some a**hole flamed the group, got everybody yelling, then committed suicide. That was an UGLY experience. (I'm calling him an A**hole because he FAKED it just to get everybody upset...bastard!! I hate him for how upset my firend got over that. She was depressed for weeks)

Anyway, I went back and it's back up, but the RP is really different.

I tried to join a friend's RP, but it was a case of infant mortality. Same with the one my sister was a part of.

I hope I don't jinx this place too. It's the only thing I'm smiling about since coming to college. I love this place!

GameWinners. More specifically, the SSBM board. I posted a great deal there, under the name "gr8dane829", and then as "MewtwoX". Then, one day, I ran away, in fear, never looking back... for it entered the same thing that constricted the SSBM board on Gamefaqs...

The most hellish hole of flames I've ever seen...

... I mean the Tier Wars, for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about.


I'd never wish such a fate onto any board... and it's probably why I lurk so often...

first forum i joined was this one, it shows apparently

My first forum was pinkpuff.net. I joined in it's second to last incarnation. I remember everyone had several pictures on their signatures, saying they were a Dragoon on FFT, or a some such thing on such and such game... Then the place got hacked, re-opened, and if I remember correctly, the actual text as far as pictures in sigs was "I don't care what you are!" They limited them to 1 per sig. I remember several religeous discussions, all of which I joined. Also some book and videogame things. But I was such a n00b back then. I remember the two Admins, McDohl and Kirby, and that they, too, had Rules of Iron-Fistedness (I think) Then the place got hacked, a third or maybe fourth time, and they gave up. Pity, too. They had a little character and battle system. I never won a single battle. I only fought once. Then, years later, I head of 8-Bit Theater on Newgrounds, read myself the entire archives section, and, after a while, decide to sign up on the forums. The rest, as they say, is history.
