The old EZBoard

[Erdrick Holmes]

Would anybody happen to save any of the text from the old EZBoard that was memorable? I thought I was an oldbie until I learned about how the old days of the Highwind were funny.

[Citizen Bleys]

The old ezBoard is gone now.

[Raistlin]

Bleys is right, unfortunately. I miss it. ;_;

The only remnants of the EzBoard is the odd couple of posts or so saved on Bleys's HD.

[Madonna]

This is before the vB upgrade to 3, right?

[Citizen Bleys]

By a couple of years or so, yeah.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Bleys. email those to me.

[m4tt]

Why do you need to see the old ezboard posts so bad? :confused:

[MecaKane]

He wants to make sure he knows every possible in-joke, ever. :eek:

[Citizen Bleys]

I probably can't find them. I've been through 3 hard drives since I saved those and I don't know which files made it over in any of those moves.

I'll have a look when I get home, though. Maybe I'll post a nostalgia thread in GC.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I thought I was an oldbieAhahahahahahahha

[Raistlin]

Yeah, my reaction, more or less. :p

[Erdrick Holmes]

Oh, shut up.

[Agent Proto]

Joel's still a misguided n00b.

[Del Murder]

Well, so am I.

[Raistlin]

As are the lot of you. Someday, the Super Ultra Mega Elitist Party, lead by Peon Walkie, will storm down the hills and destroy anyone not registered since the EzBoard.

And then the five of us left alive will have a tea party.

[Shlup]

Only five? I've been registered since the EzBoard.

I'll have to stalk you obnoxious oldbies Gollum-style.

[m4tt]

Raistlin is the only oldbie, isn't it obvious?

[Shlup]

Well everyone knows that.

[Raistlin]

Only five? I've been registered since the EzBoard.

I'll have to stalk you obnoxious oldbies Gollum-style.
I was exaggerating. *smack*

Actual amount: me, you, Bleys, Cid, RSL, BOU, skanker, Unne, and any other oldbies that show up at the last minute. So 8+.

Oh, and Peon Walkie.

[RSL]

jojo

[Raistlin]

Oh yes, and the twerp.

[Del Murder]

I'm sure BoB has an excel spreadsheet that can complete your list, Raist.

[Raistlin]

I don't need BooB. Plus, he's too busy humping everybody's leg-er...I mean, cuddling.

[eestlinc]

I wish I had been around in the eZboard days since everyone knows how awesome eZboards were. Well, I guess they were decent back then, like a 33.6Kbps modem.

[Yamaneko]

AH, EZBOARD! ETC.

[Peegee]

um..

Is there such thing as one of those archive urls? I can find really old dablackgoku forums using it, and it's likely eoff was saved many times on that...whatever it was.

As for being an 'oldbie', hahahaha. Even I'm not an oldbie, Joel.

[Jojee]

Why didn't someone save the EZboard by clicking the link :( Hahaha... I didn't see it and never saved my EZboard either. But FF:ID is still saved >O

[Raistlin]

Clicking what link? Cid closed the board so as not to allow any new posts. After a certain amount of time with no activity, it gets deleted.

Which is why I haven't closed the tGA board, and make sure to make a post or something every six months or so.

[Jojee]

Someone told me there was a link you could click at one time or they purged your EZboard. :o

[RSL]

I don't think any of us realized that it was going to be deleted or we would have done something to save it.

I would have anyway.

[Cid]

People only want to see it cause they can't.

[Peegee]

It explains why I was so mysterious before I posted those bizarrely terrible pictures of myself.

[Citizen Bleys]

People only want to see it cause they can't.

Which they wouldn't, if they realized that it was mostly <a href=http://bleys.vespernet.org/maleitch.html>advertising, bad grammar, double-posting, and spam all rolled into one</a>

EDIT: Of course, some people might want to look up <a href=http://bleys.vespernet.org/stuffedtyler.html>how some of our in-jokes got started</a>.

[Jojee]

Nuh uh Seanie XD (Why did I call you Savannah again, I don't know...) I went back there when it was still alive to see clOuD and my wedding... lmao. My first online marriage ever? (makes history!)

Nice one Bleysies :P What else do you have saved?

[Matthew]

I'm old. :O I joined as soon as Cid started advertising the ezboard on FFWA. I don't recall what he said exactly, but I'm assuming it was the url and "omg plz join kthx". Then I posted a lot my first day or few days (memory... gah) and never returned until tGA got started up. So if anything I'm categorized as a BAD oldbie for my lack of interest for long stretches of time. As is obvious in the fact that yet again I've come back to this place and no one knows who I am.

[Jojee]

Haha! Good times xD I miss all those people. Awww where's page 2? *runs around* Mmm and yeah that was crap, yummy crap.

[Levian]

<a href=http://bleys.vespernet.org/jojowedding1.html>Mostly</a> <a href=http://bleys.vespernet.org/jojowedding2.html>crap</a>.

What? Seriously? Are these the "good old days" that you people constantly whine about?
I am disappointed.

[Jojee]

OH I see page 2 now. xD Hahaha I love how Bleysies just popped in at the very end to talk about SNES ;)

[Citizen Bleys]

That was a seriously boring thread, honestly. The rest of it...well, just seeing threads won't do anything for you. You had to be there, to know the people, to live the magic. There were a lot of things that influenced EoFF at the time that happened offboard, at places like Heaven's Well and Bastardly Productions and FF:ID and ASC, etc.

Thanks baloki. But to bad the thread links keep giving me 404s.

[RSL]

I certainly don't ever remember Martin from FFWA posting at the Highwind. Very surreal.

See, I've been at EoFF since it started, but I really wasn't all that active during the EZboard stage. So while it is a little nostalgic for me to look at that stuff, at the same time, I don't remember any of the threads Bleys has posted.

You wouldn't happen to have something that I posted in, would you? Just curious.

[Jojee]

Your posts are in that wayback thing but we can't see any actual content rslsl xD

Speaking of wayback machine... good idea. *looks*

I found it I found it... oooh yeah. xD http://web.archive.org/web/20011122051038/http://pub5.ezboard.com/bnutsandsocks ! NUThouse. The colors used to be better in the beginning I swear, then it screwed up and I didn't bother to fix it ever.

Edit: No! they revealed the contents of the secret super secret <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20021220091448/pub5.ezboard.com/fnutsandsocksstaff">staff forum</a> xD Eei... WasThatANut. Lmao. Anyone remember WasThatWrong? o__0

[RSL]

WasThatWrong? was an FFWA guy, I don't think he ever came to EoFF. I sure do remember him.

[Del Murder]

This has gone horribly off topic.

[Loony BoB]

Raistlin is going to hurt me because I posted in a closed thread but I just felt it should be noted that all of the following bthehighwind pages are accessable through archive.org :p I just don't think it warrants a thread, merely here for reference...
