Wasn't there such a place once? What happened to it?

No seriously... That forum, it was somehow connected to this one, what happened to it?

Nuklear weapon kaboom =\

Edit: Aaron (The Man) ran it, but I think it is down right now.

It'll be up soon. The webmaster was too trusting, and so all hell broke loose. Again. But, hey, he has a solid backup this time. :cool:

Yeah, it should be up within a couple of days. Needless drama happened. Of course, people felt that they should punish those not involved, instead of taking thier petty problems up with eachother.

I'd return there as well, but I never really felt like I was with the in-crew over there.

Fool's Gold was bought out by Eyes on FF, Inc. and promptly shut down to cut competition. You can read all about it in my new book, <i>How The Man and His Gold Were Soon Parted</i>.

Ouch!

You're my hero. *_*

I'd be interested in checking the place out when it starts up again. I always heard stuff about it, but never really gave it a shot.

It's true that you kind of have to be "in" with a lot of jokes to enjoy FG, but many people have made a name for themselves there. If you're expecting something like EoFF, though, don't bother. Hopefully it'll be back by Monday on a vB3.

We're not allowed to advertise here, but try fools-gold dot org in your address bar. Who knows, you might get something. :p

I was there for a little bit, then realized how fantastically stupid it was and stopped going. And yet I keep coming here.

Aaron had a falling out with some former friends, and then he proceeded to make one of the most egotistical, self absorbed posts ever made on these internets, so they deleted the board with the ftp info they still knew.


Rydia - you do not want to be with the in crew there. D:

Isn't every post he makes egotistical and self-absorbed?

This one was superlatively so.

I've seen it a couple of times and I was thinking about joining, but then it just disappeared. Thanks for clearing that out.

FG had a good Lord of the Rings forum. I think I posted there once.

Alright, lets not make this an Aaron and/or Fool's Gold bashing thread. Save that for... everywhere else. ^_^

Shishio has heard the news of Fool's Gold's downtime, so this thread has served its purpose.
