What the...?!

[RocketMBA]

I am amazed to find, in 2013, a traditional vBulletin forum using the traditional General/Serious/Media/Spam template based around Final Fantasy that hasn't been dead for eight years.

What's the secret to EoFF's long life?

(To add amusement, here's that bird what moves his head funny: :kakapo:)

[Spooniest]

Bobby pins.

Damn it, I went to "Like" that...

After reading a few threads (especially this one (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-chat/152602-eyes-final-fantasy-10-years-look-back.html)) I'm starting to see what holds this place together... But I'd still be interested in more direct statements of intent/discontent.

That bird is the secret actually.

Hello David O'Leary. We meet again.

No, it is okay, I know you do not remember me. I will oblige. KujaTrance aka Heath aka Young Thomas's LiveJournal. Yes. Yes indeed.

Stay, stay forever with me and we will talk about Alan Wright and life growing up in 1990's West Midlands.

I hope this answers your question.

The day you take something said by someone with the SN "Psychotic" seriously is the wrong day to take something said by someone with the SN "Psychotic" seriously.

It survives because of the passionate love the fans have for this series. So there.

Your move, sir. :monocle:

Anyone can go to any forum and take about games. We have a lot of special people who care about what it means to be a community instead of just a website, and I think that's what has helped us make it through the years, despite the declining interest in Final Fantasy.

The secret is that we treat each other with kindness and have meaningful debates (like the one about soup) that make everyones lives a little better.

We're a little like a giant family.

I totally read that as "meaningful diabetes"

Dyslexia FTW.

I just study the games and do a lot of reading about them to pretend like I care. I've never played a game in my life. I'm convicted murderer living in San Quentin prison as a trustee as it has been a living hell to me while hosting me since 1963. Sounds like a pretty screwed up series though.

EoFF has a little of both of those things.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Probably because (outside of EoEo), things here are pretty casual, and you can be yourself. You won't find that everyone is your friend, but there's probably someone else around here who can and will relate to you.

For the most part, mods let people simply talk and chat without hammering them too hard for thread drift and things like that. It helps encourage participation.

[escobert]

We all have no lives so we don't leave this place.

Can't tell if you mean the forum itself, or its members...

[RocketMBA]

These answers have made me smile and I'm glad that I Googled my regularly-used username in a fit of vanity earlier. I will no doubt check this forum again until I forget about it after two days and never return.

Special mention to the obvious.

And then there's Paul, he's just angry.

The only thing holding this place together is the fact that the "Soda or Pop" war is still unresolved. :kakapo:

(It's soft drink)

[Shlup]

"Soft drink"?! WTF is that? You get right the hell out!

[Shorty]

Damn kiwis and their ruining of all good things. :argh:

[o_O]

See what I mean!?

[noxious.sunshine]

It's whateverthechuck the name of the drunk is. God.

if it's Coke, call it Coke. If it's Pepsi, call it that. If it's goddamn Manzanita Sol, call it that... Lol...

I could care less. But I do hate when people say "Pop".

[Elskidor]

I can't stand southerners (I'm in the south btw!) calling soda (Any type of soda) Coke. "Oh, I'm drinking a Coke." Says she, while merrily gulping down a Pepsi. WTH? Pop is a northern thing and Coke is a southern thing, and you can't complain about one without the other. Pop makes far more sense to me, but out west they make even more sense. They call it a Soda there. How did they get so smart out West? Oh yeah, that's where most of the Native Americans had to go.

[noxious.sunshine]

Lol it's even broken up by county.

Somebody had way too much time on their hands.

They also don't have sweet tea out west.
Seriously. I asked for one at a Sonic in New Mexico and they were like "what".

I prefer unsweet tea now, but still.

Damn it, I went to "Like" that...

After reading a few threads (especially this one (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-chat/152602-eyes-final-fantasy-10-years-look-back.html)) I'm starting to see what holds this place together... But I'd still be interested in more direct statements of intent/discontent.

You can actually "like" it. There is a reputation system in place.

Also, weren't you on FFLegend as well?

Carbonated. Beverage.

[Loony BoB]

EoFF is still here because we actually give a shit about being here.

I just wanted to post that that is the most random avatar I've seen on EoFF. David O'Leary :spin:

I might have been. I can't remember.

David O'Leary is one of the greatest minds of our time.

How many minutes did you spend doctoring that image, you filthy subhuman?

[Elskidor]

Wow. I guess now we know the truth. Thanks good Dr.

You can insult me all you want, but you can't argue with science.

[Mirage]

Science: Inarguable. Sounds more like religion to me, you fanatic.
