I joined EOFF in 2001 at 18. Let's not talk about how I was then. I posted in red text! I found the forum one lonely night as I was staring at the yahoo home page wondering what to search for on the internet. I figured I liked FF so I might as well search for it. I found the frontsite before the forums and decided why not join up.

I stayed in the gaming forums until 2004 when I finally broke into GC and became discovered by the masses. I tend to think 04-06 were my favorite forum days because of the people here at the time but most of them are long gone. I still like the place :p

I used the walk-throughs on the front site for about a year before I even realized there was a forum. And then it was a couple months of just browsing it before actually joining.
I was 15 then and am 20 now. I've grown a lot, but at the same time, not so much.
I've never been much of poster myself. I like to read what everyone else is posting and occasionally commenting on it. I've had a couple breaks in being here, but never for long. I just can't stay away, there isn't really anywhere else for me.

I found the frontsite in 2006 and joined to look at a picture on the forums because it was an attachment. That was December 2006

Around March 2007 I found the RP section of the forums through a signature link and was active there for a while. I also discovered usernotes and lightly used them.

By summer 2007 I was very occasionally active in general chat but not really, and still focused mainly on the FF forums.

Then I joined in the second EoFF mafia game. From that until the end of the Fourth I was someone who not everyone knew but at the same time didn't really do much. Then I hosted a couple games with Psy.

Then I signed up for the 2008 CK competition, got a lot farther than expected and became more active in general chat :p

I started typing in green and got made an RM for doing a lot of stuff.

Got a name change to qwertysaur, then got made Site Staff after the second CK competition.

Had a break for a few months, then came back and had some fun with Christmas :bigsmile:

Did some SS work and had a cookie. To be continued in the future.

Well, i joined 9 years ago. I was 13 and i'm 21 now. The staff to me were pretty intimidating at first and Jowy and i didnt get along. HAHAHAHAHA!

Now, the forums have grown, the skins have changed but the friends i have from here are dear to me. I pop in every now and then to keep in touch. :)

Haha, I alway misread your name as "No Mercy". You are one of those types that are still pretty active in the gaming forums! :bigsmile:

Well, I play more games now than I did when I was 14, so that makes sense! The only game I really played back then was FFX. I was a Sony fanboy and didn't have the range of consoles I do now and I wasn't into arcade gaming so much back then, so I think I made the breakthrough to GC pretty early. I'm probably more involved in the gaming forums now than I was back then. =\

I joined EoFF when I needed some more forums in my life. I made my first friends, Resha, Azar, foa, Kirobaito, Denmark, and the rest in #eoff :) I probably wouldn't've posted as much as I have if there hadn't been a chatroom!

I joined up here a good many years ago. I was quieter and more quiet back then.......who the smurf am I kidding.

I joined up and was basically part of the triumvirate of spam with Baloki and Psychotic oh how times change xD my old posts that weren't spam were genuinely probably embarassing to look at.

These days it's a case of will I/won't I disappear or not at times though I have made some awesome friends here and I feel that no matter what I would keep coming here until I get banned.

I remember you have a custom title that goes by "the pantless ninja" right!? I had a few chuckles back then! Even if you do not post, we appreciate you for reading our posts. :bigsmile:

You were knighted around the time I joined if I remember!!! I alway think of you when I see Rinoa though, maybe it got to be with your avatar back then!!! :kaoclove:

And thank you for contributing to last year RSL's Day video!! :bigsmile:

I wish you were quiet now like you were back then and stop mixing with thugs like Psychotic. You can come to me and we can do all soft of happy and healthy things together that doesn't involve drinking. :bigsmile:

When I first joined I stayed in the Final Fantasy forums mostly until venturing on to General forums eventually. Once I could give usernotes I mainly did that for a while until around late 2006 or early 2007 where I started to just post and browse all over. Some of the friends I made on here left and some have stayed. That's part of the reason why I stayed. That and the forum is a lot more decent and multi-faceted then some of the others I've seen. Before I joined EoFF I would just lurk forums, but going on here got me out of my forum shell a bit.

Just admit it. You stayed cause you cannot do without me as much as I cannot do without you. Takes two to achieve Orgasm. :mymelkiss:

In 2001, I would have been 15... Goodness.

I've been banned, I've been the subject of controversy, and I have had so many failed projects that I ought to be known as the Recognized Failure rather than a Recognized Member.

When I joined fifty-three years ago, I barely knew how to revive Aeris. It was tough times, with wild NeX's running around eating chocobos. Whilst you would think this only helped towards the endangerment of the chocobo species, they actually thrived back then. I met many fellow chocobos, some of which developed into friends. Robb, Wishing Star, Squally Leonharty, Ashi and Sapphire were the closest ones to me at the time, and we had much fun back then, and it was splendid. Unfortunately most of them have moved on to other things, although I still see them from time to time, which is nice. Anyway. Moving on, the real reason for the endagerment of chocobos around here came soon after: genocide. It was horrific. All chocobos were wiped out in favour of intense genetic engineering allowing for everyone to create themselves as they wished to appear, which I'm sure we can all agree on being an absolute abomination, an act of God, a horrendous mistake. But I digress. Times moved on, and such a thing became the norm. Chocobos these days only thrive when people dress up like them, seemingly a nod to their past, much like people dress up as bards and white mages when going to cosplay events. It was sad, but such is the way of things.

I was becoming somewhat well known around these parts at that point. Despite being born in the city of Effeffvee, I was luckily aided by the well-meaning people such as Lilly, Gilgamesh and the like. They introduced me to larger locales - the biggest, as ever, was Genchat, where we speak even now. It wasn't as big back then, although now it is still not as big as it has been. It was much more... carefree, I would say. We would congratulate each other on many a milestone, and people would earn special permission to create ranks for themselves based on their contributions, which was a neat move for the time we were living in. I was Coached by the best there ever will be around here to be the best I could ever be around here. The Cid's Knights and the far less official Dawn Warriors (or were they Light Warriors? I forget, it was long ago) would do what they could for all beings great and small, and whilst I was still on the small side, they showed me just what you could achieve if you put your mind to it.

I can't remember when I started mapping out the lands we now walk. Was it before or after I was welcomed to the circle? I still am not sure. I remember doing all sorts of things. Establishing more official means of recognition for our fellow members. Encouraging others to work together to make the place better for the new life that would be coming to our nation, and even for those passing by. I did the latter by going back to old traditions: The Site, as it was called, was once a force to be reckoned with, and people could get endless information from it. However, it had not been updated with new records, new research, and thus it had fallen behind other lesser sites. This was The Site, though, so I felt it my duty to encourage others into making it the best there could be once more. And with the help of many, many people of Eyeson, we achieved this.

Things moved quickly after that. I moved up to the upper echelons, being allowed more control over things, but never did I feel that I truly was the one to be in use of such things. Still not now, I say... the thought passes my mind, that I could make this place my own, but I dare not. The nation is better led by the many, at least at the moment, and maybe someday a great man or lady shall step up to grace ourselves with their presence and work their way through the land as I once did, and take that extra step. Maybe.

But my old bones still love this place. My heart could not be without it. The people, the atmosphere, the intelligence that thrives amongst it, the spirit. It lives on.

There were times off and on that I took little breaks but always came back. I will always come back, until the day this forum closes for good.

Look forward to the future and not dwell at the past for too long!!! The important thing now is the present and if you are happy now, then all is good!! :kaoclove:

You're right Mas-Mas, thanks :D
