So, in 8th Grade, we had a project at the end of the year. It was a letter to ourselves, about four years in the future, when we were going to be graduating highschool. I just got my letter yesterday, and I'm about to graduate on the 20th. But you know what the first part of my letter says?

"To: Nicolas
From: Official EoFF Wizzrobe"

It also asks if EoFF is still up.

I think it's time I change my avatar back to the Wizzrobe.

Anyway, how long have you been on EoFF?

Since I was fourteen! I did one of those letters when I was in the second grade, but I never got it. Probably because I moved like a kajillion times between then and graduation.

I never did any cool letters like that :( I'm interested what young me would have said that I forgot about. Probably about how I was in love with whoever at the time ha.

I've been here... this summer will be 7 years I think. I'm a Seasoned Vet now. Not nearly as long as a lot of people here though.

Fuck you guys I spent my entire adolescence here and now I am just a bitter hollow shell of an old man that goes to video game cons name dropping this place in hopes that maybe just MAYBE I can get at least a handjob out of it

Seven years. Holy crap, I can't believe that. Though for like the first three years I only only made like five posts a year.

Good times. I've balanced my time here nicely between posting and not. xP

I've technically been here for 6 years, but I had like a 4 year break so in reality it's probably like 2 years or so. I was 13 when i first came here xD
I'm scared that I might disappear again after college starts :(

Hmm... I recall we were made to write letters to our older selves as well, but I think the teacher must've forgot to send them to us cause I don't remember ever getting them back. :greenie:

Oh I'm going to have so much fun in another two years messing with you about being 30 :bigsmile: you better smurfing be around for it. :colbert:

I've been here since 09, still hard to believe I've known you guys for two years though :jess:

I wish I joined when I first found this site, it would've been 2003 when we had to make a website using powerpoint and my website was all about Chocobos and I found some sweet Chocobo pictures on EoFF's frontsite.

I lurked like a motherfucker for a while and then joined in like, August 04.

I wish I wrote letters to myself. Actually I think I did one in year 8 but I don't feel old enough to read that yet.

I was always too lazy and impatient to care about those letter projects.

I guess I'm coming up on 8 years now. Not fun to think about.

xD I am amused.

I've been here for over ten years after joining at the age of 16. Which means I'm now too old to remember if we ever did something like you guys did.

Nov. 2002 it says. So 8 1/2 years. Most of that was obviously lurking, judging from my wicked, awesome post count.

I've been on the boards since 2004 so thats about 7 years although I had been visiting the site years before that when I was knee-high in FF games.

It is pretty cool to be friends with oldbies bc they are all so secret society with their spam fora and sex forums.

6 long years. It's been a total waste of time, I've learned nothing about Final Fantasy by being here and it's just made me bitter about the outside world.

Related to the OP, in sixth grade, my science teacher had us write letters to ourselves that we'd get back at graduation. I'm about positive I still have mine - I remember reading it after graduation, but I don't 100% recall the content. I think there was an EoFF reference, though, so... yeah.

NorthernChaosGod
05-11-2011, 07:27 PM
Why would you acknowledge the existence of EoFF outside of the Internet? :confused:

Because I was 12 and this place validated me in the midst of pubescent angst.
