xD I'm so old... I know practically everything you listed.
Fwa, Raf... Now you're making me feel old too, because I remember being there for most of your list, and knowing about the rest. Eep!
How the bloody hell did I miss all this? :(
I forgot about the anniversary. Never even logged in yesterday :(
Going back to the original topic gives me an opportunity to reminisce, therefore I shall.
I remember All Male Group Hugs And Other Things Which I Consider To Be My Bag.
I remember Unne speaking Japanese
I remember Sir Krelian of Cid's Knights. I am, however, one of the fortunate ones who do not remember his penis.
I remember the board Ring, from back when EoFF was still small enough to want to try to borrow members from other boards...and through that ring, I found some other boards myself, including Jojo's board (which me and Raist tried to take over), ASC (back when I liked it there and was welcome), FF:ID (It didn't suck then, and I'm not sure it even existed), and Heaven's Well (which I still miss the hell out of and keep trying to replace)
I remember writing Frig7
I remember being dumb enough to think that Frig7 was worth writing. (Those who speak well of it refer only to a few good one-liners buried in a sea of crap)
I remember post counts
I remember Acmlm's graphical post count tool
I remember leaving the ezBoard to find a job, and coming back to find the UBB, and hating UBB. But that's when I got promoted to Knight, so I didn't care.
I remember GameCop
I remember how much donkey GameCop sucked
I remember a GameCop staffer named Scottie who turned out to be an OK guy and stuck with us through thick and thin for a sod of a long time
I remember a golden, shiny wire of hope looking more like an ominous, forbidding wire of death
I remember trying to figure out just who the best Waiter in Cid's Knights really was
I remember not bothering to go to tGA when Cid and BOU were there
I remember when vB2 was released, and Cid made me a temp-admin to check out the new features, and I nearly creamed my pants. That temp-adminship lasted about three years. (Hey, doesn't that mean I should have gone back to being a Knight instead?)
I remember my gambit to get EoFF'ers to take part in Eskimo Deathmatch. I especially remember it not working
I remember you. Yes, you.
I remember Scotland Jim
I remember Eeyore's. And if you don't know what that is, you're never going to :)
I remember Dan Walkie, and how the original Rydia (the one who ran Heaven's Well) calling him "Chestnut" all the time.
I remember AWALK(insert numbers here) remarking that "Chestnuts taste like :skull::skull::skull::skull:!"
I remember that word not being censored, and when the censor replacement filter was actually cool. And "trout" being censored.
I remember sentence fragments. And split infinitives.
I remember RO when RO was fun, and I played with Unne and Nicole (who's screenname I can't remember!) and Mäjken
I remember Happypeepeehead being here.
I remember missing out on iD's newbie thread, just like I almost missed out on this one.
I remember ripping off of BOU, and BOU not minding.
I remember when BOU and Mäjken and Britt liked me. I remember MB politics and pointless internet drama putting a stop to that.
I remember when people liked me for who I was and not what.
I remember when now counted and not just who/what I used to be.
I remember Spatvark
I remember Spider John :)
I remember when EoFF was a place that made me feel good about who I was and what I was doing.
I remember losing that and taking a long time to recover from it.
I remember taking time during class (when I was taking C++) to deal with morons who tried to mess up EoFF...and my instructor helping me out doing it.
I remember name-change wars with Unne.
I remember the Singing Unne Petition, and thinking that that was what made him step down, and blaming myself for it for a long time before Unne made me snap out of it
I remember Melted Snowman.
I remember White Mage, Opera Vectra, and Seifer007
I remember PIPE!
I remember thinking that Word Association was a good idea.
I remember the smashing success that the original EoFF CD was...and the dismal failure that the second one turned out to be
I remember Cid chewing out RSL for swearing too much.
I remember thinking that RSL was a bitter, angry person.
I remember saying that I was EoFF, and people thinking that I meant I defined EoFF and not that EoFF defined me.
And lastly, I remember all of the support I had in rough times from a lot of people. Some aren't here anymore, and some won't give me the time of day anymore, but many are there, and I still know I can count on them if I ever need them. But hopefully now I won't. I especially remember Daryl and Scottie, who were there for me from day 1, and whom I still have confidence in today.
Cheers, everyone, and may 2005 be the best year yet.

Some of these will only relate to a very, very few people. I'm pretty sure that Raistlin, Unne and RSL all didn't recognise some of the names of the ezBoard mods when I listed them a while back (all of which were taken directly from the ezBoard itself while the original was still there), and that says a lot.
I COULD have been one of the few to see a certain penis, however unlike most people, I didn't bother actually looking at it. Yay for idling.
EDIT:
As for my more personal memories...
I remember being warned about NeX and his chocobo-eating habits.
I remember why chocobo-eating was directed at newbies.
I remember holding back from posting until they changed from a forced-avatar-change into a mere increase in avatar selection, so I didn't have to change avatar because the chocobo one rules and the Tactics ones sucked.
I remember Gamecop and Gamesquad.
I remember emailing Cid using @eyesonff.com emails whenever the board went down. I remember at least one email having something to do with donkeys.
I remember emailing Bleys before I really knew who he was, and spending a lot of school time trying to make a map for Magestar, but then Britt made one I was pushed aside.
I remember flaming nuclear death to smurfs.
I remember at least three different members named God.
I remember Krelaen (ean?) deleting almost all of his posts.
I remember being the only member online almost every night I would log on using Dad's laptop.
I remember being the first-ever non-staffer to post on the vB prior to this one. I think I was member #3.
I remember having a Yahoo! conference with Robb, Emma, Sapphy, Skwowwy and Ashi almost every day.
I remember going into #eoff about five different times and assuming it was broken since nobody was chatting. Forgetting, of course, that nobody else would be online at those times back then.
I remember Danni being in chat as DarkAngel. Well, her or someone else.
I remember Red Wizard constantly trying to start ff trivia chats in #eoff.
I remember #bar, when Robb ran it.
I remember minor controversy arising in the very Staff Forum thread discussing me being Knighted, since it happened too fast.
I remember the thread discussing what colour the custom titles for Former Staff would be, and I remember it being one of the longest Staff threads of it's time, one of the top five or so I think. xD
I remember TMC getting banned and then coming back.
I remember when Kishi said what is quoted in TMC's signature.
I remember the Dawn Warriors. Hahaha.
I remember BOU linking me to ASC (ezBoard) and telling me to post there. I look back at that now and see it as a more important thing than I would have realised it to be at the time.
I remember Lilly Rinoa Landois.
I remember when Matty was Gau. I don't mean just the name. I remember when he really chatted just like Gau, and would ride people and go "awhooo!" or something like that all the time.
I remember being so gutted that Daryl got Knighted when I was MLT Become a Cid's Knight ;)
I remember the thread where you could not use the letter 'e'. It was made by either Britt or TMC. For some reason I can't figure out which.
I remember threads asking if you were circumsized. Circumcised? I dunno.
I remember the five headed dragon (that ate itself).
I remember the removal of about 3-5 Knights in one go due to inactivity and the like.
I remember Snizz being de-Knighted. :( :( :( :( :(
I remember being the last and only staffer supporting Sugpo.
I remember Coach saying goodbye for some reason.
I remember Chewbacca and TK and Proto talking about trading porn all the time.
I remember Something?
I remember when Emma, Robb and Skwowwy all made their own forums in the same month. I remember when Final Gaming was FFI, and when FFI was an Acmlm board, and everyone promoted it at EoFF as much as Fool's Gold later would be promoted.
I remember pre-LiveJournal times, when people would use diaryland and crap.
I remember when I actually was intending on changing my avatar.
I remember being part of edczxcvbnm's party, and using the slogan "Fork It!" in my sig because I was uneasy with swearing at EoFF.
I remember being scarred for life upon chatting with Kishi, Belladonna and Snizz.
I remember when I would use lol. But I don't like to. I'd have forgotten, too, if it weren't for my chatlogs I read over last year.
I remember when I started saving chats with Robb, and him doing the same, in order to blackmail each other later on.
I remember Gilgamesh.
I remember ICQ being "all that".
I remember Thorn, before I knew her as Stefanie. I remember spotting her name in the Who's Online list at least a year after I had first 'met' her - in a few threads in EoEO, nothing more. My memory paid off on that one!
I remember inkcartridge2 and thinking it was the coolest AIM name ever.
I remember discovering Loony BoB was a taken AIM name and being so, so pissed off.
I remember being friends with Scottie. Seriously!
I remember various April Fools jokes.
I remember phoning Kelly and her telling me that my voice was sexy. :aimsun: *runs from Kel*
I remember when I would ALWAYS say 'Woo'. All the time. I remember Emma telling me to stop it. >_>
I remember calling Jewels Jooz.
I remember half the active males flirting with Cute&Dangerous when she joined.
I remember RSL mentioning Emma in the iD thread, and Emma, Robb, Sapphy and I getting all excited abuot it because we were all newbies.
I remember us being too scared to post in that thread. xD
I remember us talking about how Kishi was the scariest guy in EoFF.
I remember spending a long chat session with Kishi, attempting to convince him to return to EoFF after he'd left for quite some time. I think he was active again within 48 hours, although I'm not sure if it was just me. I don't think I could have pulled off something like that.
I remember spending all my time in EoEO.
I remember taking one look in GC and deciding I wouldn't post in there. :p
I remember how it was that the sending hair to myself started.
I remember Bleys' snotrags.
I remember Black Mage 121 when he was posting a thread in EoEO about considering the possiblity of a name-change. >=P
I remember #tot.
I remember #whoistim.
I remember Chicky starting the first ever #eoff-stats.
I remember #eoff being active 24/7 (back on irc.eyesonff.net! =P).
I remember when Alixsar was me.
I remember Robb posting a thread with my name on it, containing a sign with a guy shagging a sheep (well, a silhouette, or however you spell that word).
I remember Tiff's "DOWN WITH RECOGNIZED MEMBERS!" thread.
Most of those are pretty old memories, but when I get nostalgic, I tend to go as far back as possible by default. Force of habit, I guess.
Who's Emma?Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks RSL's giant Bikke seems to be waving his nose from side to side?
It's Pinocchio-esque, doncha think?
Looks like he's about to sneeze or something. -hands hankie-
http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/custo...atar9099_6.gif
I love the way he stamps his little feet. :D
omg! yes, it does look like pinoce! :) wow how long were you staring at his avatart till you realised that?Quote:
