The Return of Mallatobuck ^_^

[Chewbacca]

Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


It's only been about 4 years, EoFF.

[Leeza]

Well, hello, Chewy. Tell us all about the last four years of your life. :)

[Marshall Banana]

Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Where's your Former Staff rank?

Ah, that's better.

[Shlup]

Aren't we supposed to at least pretend there's a topic?

The topic is carpets. Mine is shaggy.

(Hi Chewy.)

[rubah]

hihi

[Raistlin]

This is Chewbacca.

(sup?)

[Chewbacca]

Topics are mildly overrated. I remember everyone always freaking out about everyone posting threads entitled "Hi, I'm new here". Well, here's my "Hi, I'm old here thread". I just wanted to make sure I had my own completely useless, wasteful thread where I make an announcement that I'm here/returned/etc, etc.

Anyways, I see a couple familiar names. How the hell are you guys still posting here? I mean, no disrespect, but what kept you coming back for a half decade?

[Shoeberto]

Hi Chewie. I used to be Hsu and before that Zell 007.

The only thing that keeps me coming back is the sheer entertainment of seeing Loony BoB's sanity slowly erode.

[Rye]

I wonder if you remember me. I doubt it though.

[Chewbacca]

PS the main page is disgusting. There's an ad with a picture of a fat chick holding her flab. Jesus murphy guys what have you done? At least find a Megan Fox ad or something and make money off that. No young gamer wants to come to the page and find a fat chick on the main page. It's frightening and you could be enslaving the dreams of many young gamers.

And I see someone eventually found the Xenogears section that I was making oh so many years ago. I was finished most of it, but I never launched anything. Looks like eventually it got found, finished and released.

So someone tell me the current status of the site. I need to be caught up for four years of disregard. Cid give up the site or what?

[rubah]

Yep. he sold it and then that guy sold it, and the current owners show up to put up ads of fat chicks.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Jesus murphy guys what have you done?

Cid sold the site to cyber-entrepreneurs. :ffviwhat:

[NeoTifa]

Aren't we not supposed to have "I'm back" threads?

[Marshall Banana]

[rubah]

I think you just lost the Ck competition, neotifa :X

[Chewbacca]

Be quiet or I'll post porn and you won't be allowed back on the internet for weeks. Ya, I will.. seriously. Hardcore.

So it got sold twice? Someone explain to me who is in the business of buying final fantasy websites? I'm no expert, but how profitable is buying up loads of webspace devoted to an RPG game series? Wouldn't be my first choice of operation as an adventure capitalist, but that's just me.

[rubah]

Roogle would do it if he had the money 8)

[NeoTifa]

Zelda websites. :bigsmile:

Well, you compensate for that with the ads, of course.

Hundreds of ads, as garish as human minds can possibly suffer.

Everywhere.

Forever.

[Chewbacca]

One question that has not really been answered: what in sam's f*** has kept you guys coming back for all these years? I used to love this site and contributing to it back when I was in my early-mid teens. I remember spending an obscene amount of time on here. And hating that BrittK007 he-she idiot. But to think I can come back 5-6 years after my heyday and the same people are posting AS I WRITE, continuously. It's crazy. Never lost the love huh?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I post for those who can't anymore. Like The Model Citizen.



And hating that BrittK007 he-she idiot.

What.

[Madame Adequate]

adventure capitalist

"What ho Teddy, I fancy I spy an industrial concern over that ridge! Let's advance towards it posthaste and see if we can't plant the Union Flag in some virgin courtyard!"

[Meat Puppet]

One time I killed a pterosaur using only 8 feet of string and a hook fashioned from my grandmother’s jawbone.

[Chewbacca]

I'm pretty sure those no longer able to post, no longer wish/choose to post. There is an easily recognized difference there. Let's not pretend to talk like a robot master fit for the punishing of evil double posters. Let your hair down for a second why don't ya. For the old furry wookie, just this once.

And don't act like you ever really knew if Britt was a dude or a chick. It was a commonplace guise that she was a he, but we all knew that he was a she. Ya dig?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I guess there's no harm propagating legends about people who haven't been present in something like seven years.

Did you know Princess Usa had a third eye, which saw only in <i>pink</i>?

[Shoeberto]

Pretty sure Britt was just gay.

Hey, Remember Wings?

[Denmark]

Hey guys do you remember when [old fart] [action]ed all over [place]? It was really [adjective]!

[Chewbacca]

Princess Usa.. if my memory serves me correct, when EoFF first brought about the "photo album" idea and members started to post pictures of themselves, she participated in that and was the only halfway decent looking one. It's kinda like playing a classic RPG with no voice-overs. You can make up the voice in your head(or not at all) and it never bothers you. Then they remake the game with voice overs and you're furious at the terrible voices.

Well now substitute rpg characters for fellow internet message board posters. And sub voices for appearance. I guess I rathered it the classic way; with the imagination

It was on that day that I realized I would not be scheduling any dates with people over the internet in my life.

So, Kawaii, what sparked the memories of The Model Citizen. I even forgot about him until you said it.



Pretty sure Britt was just gay.

Hey, Remember Wings?


That's the answer I was trying to instigate. Thanks for that. Good to know someone here still has a sense of humour.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Well, "he-she idiot" sounds like gay-bashing. And I don't <i>remember</i> you bashing very many gays, so I had to have it made clear.



what sparked the memories of The Model Citizen. I even forgot about him until you said it.

I just associate the two of you. For some reason. :reverie:

[Momiji]

I probably registered a little bit before/after you left.

*shrug*

[Ouch!]

Thanks for the nostalgia trip. It was very much undesired.

[Chewbacca]

Wasn't bashing gays. I was bashing hi...her. Whatever. I used to bash gays, but lets be honest Ellen Degeneres makes us all feel a little gay.

I tested out the might of Cid's Knights with a quick double post. As I suspected, Kawaii allowed it to stand for a mere 1 minute! You guys know he actually has an IV and a excretion bag at his computer so he can police EoFF without interruption 24/7 right?

Haha.. I'm just buggin homie. I gotta bug out on someone and you're a good target.

So where's Cid at? Someone take me to the mayors office!!

ps. if I took you down a road of nostalgia relative to a message board, and it hurt your feelings.. well.. uhh.. I don't know what to say.

[Shoeberto]

He's a schoolteacher now. He doesn't really interact with the community directly but he's fairly easy to get a hold of if you check the right places.

He's still a pretty big badass.

[Ouch!]

ps. if I took you down a road of nostalgia relative to a message board, and it hurt your feelings.. well.. uhh.. I don't know what to say.
Who said anything about hurt feelings?

[Chewbacca]

Cid is so badass I bet he still lashes kids and gets away with it. And I bet they call him Cid too. Infact I know they do.

[rubah]

I call him Papa Cid.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I call him Papa Cid.

[Raistlin]

Well, Chewy, I just keep coming back mostly out of boredom. There's some good people here that still post, and there's a bunch of dummies, but the dummies can be entertaining as well. I have not really put my heart into since my last EoEO ban (2005, 2006?). Though I did recently attempt to liven up Feedback again, though the most entertaining discussion was unjustly moved to private feedback.

Dr Unne made his own forum, GHF (linked to in my sig), which is where I hang out the most now. EoFF does not really feel like home anymore.

[Araciel]

The only 'I'm back' thread that I can post in. Hi.

[Linus]

Hi.

[Agent Proto]

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e200/grokyou/sean1.jpg

Ah, yes. Cid was the original ace of EoFF.

[eestlinc]

Chewy, didn't you post a big penis and get kicked off staff?

[Awrini]

Sup Chewy.

[Burtsplurt]

Yo. I remember you, although I thought you left well before 2005, but I did have a period of inactivity that covered most of the mid-2000s...

I thought Britt went out with Azorie?? Is that even her name? Am I talking poo?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's Asorie. And you're getting into <i>drama</i>, now.

[eestlinc]

ah the days when staff had drama.

[Rantz]

I will only welcome you back if you sound like an Alaskan Malamute. Do itttttt :colbert:

[Jiro]

I actually don't have a clue who you are, I would have been a newb or just gone inactive when you left.

So welcome back and do stick around, I enjoy seeing people from the past *cue eerie music*

[Loony BoB]

what sparked the memories of The Model Citizen. I even forgot about him until you said it.
I just associate the two of you. For some reason. :reverie:
Oh man, who were the others? Melted Snowman and Sir Krelian or something? I forget. The Dawn Warriors or whatever that were to be rivals to the Cid's Knights or something.

Anyways. Chewy! Hi! Man, lots of things have changed since you were here. Now the photo threads are full of half-decent looking girls. Well, there's at least a few of 'em, anyway. Gamer girls never looked better.

I come back because it gives me something to do online, and I know the people from here well enough to call 'em friends.

[Psychotic]

theundeadhero has been investigating you for some time. He will be thrilled to see you back.

[Levian]

So welcome back and do stick around, I enjoy seeing people from the past *cue eerie music*

Oh, they never stick around. They just randomly appear to barf up old stuff before they run off again to crawl under a porch and die of old age. I guess you could say they're basically cats.

[Dignified Pauper]

Levian Raistlin will eventually do the same thing.

smurfing cats.

[Jiro]

Dammit but I like Levian. Don't become a cat man, don't do it.

[Dignified Pauper]

Edited for truth. Raistlin is really the old man around here.

[qwertysaur]

I have no idea who half the people you are talking about are. Make a summary and add it to the wiki please. :p

[Old Manus]

Hey man. I remember the laughs we used to have.

[Breine]

Hey there and welcome back to this godforsaken place!

[Raistlin]

ah the days when staff had drama.

Hey, I tried!

[theundeadhero]

theundeadhero has been investigating you for some time. He will be thrilled to see you back.He's right you know. There's so little drama around now I have the time to waste and I've been wasting it with you (without you) since somewhere around 2005. You see, there's this little secret rumor that you're the only staffer to ever be forcefully removed from staff. I've read like every thread in the staff forum and other places sorting through millions of clues and never figured it out, but every time I piece a little something together Psychotic gets an excited flurry of maybes.

[Blue Harvest]

*puts on a monocle*

[Rodarian]

Chewwy! OMG THIS LIKE SUCH A REUNION!!

[Chewbacca]

Yes yes indeed I am the infamous staff member that was let go and all that other good stuff. I also contributed 90% of the Chrono Cross section (which Britt took credit for), most of the Xenogears and Chrono Trigger and tons of other classic site content. So I guess there is a little give and take.

This site got absolutely ridiculous for a while, and I started a rebellion to maintain everything good that we had grown to love about EoFF! The day I could not fight any longer... I became a martyr and began the legacy as the one Cid's Knight (I was actually an Admin) to be forcefully removed from staff and (I think)banned....

....for posting large and very, very inappropriate pictures(apparently I actually don't even remember what I did to incite mass disgust and hate)


So I'm something of anti-hero, you know. Haha.



ps. for whomever edited the post. No one will get the reference to Chewbacca's wife, so you might as well change it back




Chewy, didn't you post a big penis and get kicked off staff?



The penis that marked the figurative end to the greatest video game related social community on the internet.

[rubah]

If they don't know who Mallatobuck is, they can go DIAF.

[theundeadhero]

I think maybe SerGe was the other Dawn Warrior member but nobody really remembers.

[Chewbacca]

Yes he was. I don't remember the specifics of the Dawn Warriors thing but it sounds kinda interesting in retrospect. Woulda been neat if the board split into two opposing yet coexisting sides and members could put the name in their rank.

Then again, that would be taking message board posting way too seriously.

[rubah]

You mean like. . .Gang Wars?
