Takes me back to the good old days, it does. Starting from now it is Retro...month? I struggle to name it, because there is no definitive time length on this event.

Suffice to say, we should all dress ourselves with a neat new set dedicated to our favourite Final Fantasy characters! Something exciting is just over the rainbow, I can feel it. It'll be a good way to reminisce as the Ciddie season starts to take hold!

Keep an eye out for more to come ;)

I don't have an old set for a Final Fantasy character or the skills/motivation for a new one. I'll just use this old cat boy thing I had for years way back instead because, I don't know, why not.

Everything pre XIII is retro because of how fucking long it takes them between releases these days.

It would be super cool if the staff allowed people who used to have Final Fantasy-related names to change back to them for just the duration of this event! But what do I know I'm just a humble humbug.

Exception: Stuffed Regis.

The sig limit hasn't changed that much. I think it used to be something like 150pixels for height.

I'm not changing limits, though, just encouraging people to get into the spirit of your lovely event. :<3:

It was Stuffed Regis and Stuffed Unne (Unner?) when I was there. If there was one earlier, I don't know about it, but the point of my post was that Stuffed Regis/Unne was the exception to the avatar rule because he had a gigantic avatar. :p

Gotcha. I must have come online a bit later after someone had renamed it. I remember Stuffed Unne with the voodoo doll of Dr Unne (or something like that) when I first saw it going on, and then it later changed to a picture of some guy who I forget who I can only assume is called 'Regis'.

Good times, though. That thread was awesome.

Right now.

In Australia, a month is actually three weeks! :shifty: So I changed as many names back as it took for me to get bored of changing names back. If I didn't change yours back, ask another admin to change it back - preferably the one who made the original change! (and that wasn't me)

On behalf of Jiro, thanks for participating, I hope you all had fun with this event. :) I sure did, given that I inadvertently inspired it. Jiro did something to annoy me - probably just existing, he tends to do that a lot - so I changed his name for a laugh and he rolled with it.
