Yeahhhh it's kinda died. Well it's on the old frontsite and it's a little wonky. Since we merged the frontsite and the forums together it doesn't really work on vbulletin. soooooooo..... Freed said he wanted to fix it but we see how far THAT went.

I'm still way back, but I want to post a few things. Maybe I'll edit this after I finish reading this thread. How did I have the patience for these old threads? It's like fourteen conversations going on around you and you're supposed to keep them all straight.

I understand this feeling exactly.

I remember a lot of events at that time I wish I could undo, or fix, or replace with something more positive, but that's the way of life, isn't it?

Knox, if you remember me (you SHOULD remember me), I only feel it's fair to point out that you're one of the few people that come up in conversation (mostly with BOU) about these ancient days, and when you're referenced you aren't seen as particularly any more negative as anyone else, so there's that. For what it's worth.

Seriously, folks here are what got me through some really bad years. I don't know where I'd be without BOU, Teek, Scottie, Britt, Cid, Unne, Bleys, and others I am probably forgetting. It was damned good luck that I ended up here 14 years ago. There's just something special about this place.

Same here. I'd add a few names, but I still recall many of these people and I think of them fondly. It was extremely important for me then.

Time goes by, some joys and heartaches fade into the past or are dwarfed by greater concerns, and life whacks you over the head another ten or twenty times with change or loss or unexpected developments...all of a sudden you look back and realize you don't really understand that person you used to be, anymore. And you realize you've grown in a lot of ways, but in doing so, to move forward, you have had to give up a lot of the once-familiar common ground you shared with people as who you used to be.

This is how I think of it sometimes -- some of these people, here, and some who aren't here now, but with whom I have reconnected in other ways, saw me as the least likable version of myself I can thus far recall having been. And even before I had had a chance to learn equanimity, or tact, or break out of the tiny little backwards world I had grown up in, even at my most mercurial, insecure, and least stable, they were still my friends. I could come here and have silly, carefree fun, and also have real conversations about things that actually mattered, and no one would bounce me out the door for being the pathetic teenager I was.

So think about all that and consider that this many years later, some of that still exists -- there are still people who, no matter how much you may cringe thinking of your past self, remember you fondly enough to say, "Hey, where's ____?" and notice if you're missing.

Yes, exactly. You summed up the dilemma perfectly. It relaxes me considerably.

If I could, I would nuke Usenet and maybe this place too, and geocities and the Internet Archive and everything on the net just to wipe out a few inconsequential stupidities of my dumb youth.

oh jesus christ like that one thread where Rydia posted some art and i kept on posting a new adoring message like i'd had amnesia and i thought it was funny at the time but in retrospect it came off as really smurfing creepy

or really early, over a smurfing decade ago when I posted with a RED COPPERPLATE GOTHIC font

Just let me say that whatever I did, whatever I said, whatever happened, I am so sorry about it all, and let's just forget about it.

Nait, don't say stuff like that - you remain one of the funniest if not THE funniest member to have ever graced EoFF :D I miss your humour immenseley, and I know others do too. :) I have a bunch of old LJ entries (mostly locked these days after certain events in the past) that feature you in them that I still look back at fondly for a giggle. :D

EDIT: Although I'll agree the red gothic font was terrible. Luckily there's only one dork who still uses coloured font these days and it just mostly serves as an excuse to not read his posts half the time. :D

Then I look at the little crews and cliques I was part of in 2005, or 2007, or whatever, and there's only a handful of us left from then too. Yet despite losing all those wonderful people and drifting apart from them, there's still people here I have so much time and respect for. 2013 EoFF is totally different from 2003 EoFF but I couldn't tell you when the change happened. It's still home.

This place does mean more to me than I can say, and the connections and memories I've made through it will last forever. Thank you to anyone who was a part of it. Even if we weren't friends friends, you still see someone's posts every day and you feel close to them to some extent, even if you've not properly talked to them.

Other side of the coin, sorry for being a no good troublemaking punk. I think I once had a moan about you telling me off for something. Having done the moderator job for almost seven years now (time. smurfing. flies) I know what it's like from the other side and how frustrating having someone do that can be, so sorry. :shobon:

She didn't, you obviously just spent most of your time chatting with her instead of posting with her. :D

I don't know much about this YMCA parody (not as much as I'd like to know, that's for sure) but my fondest memories of Nait are his stories and lore regarding EoFF characters. I think I remember a certain tale regarding Bleys and ...was it Raistlin? Anyway, it was all kinds of raunchy...

EDIT: Also...

But he also brought the message of It Is The Final Decision And Nothing Will Budge Us From Unhurting. And he also brought the message of He Stays Hurt. And so forth and so forth. Now, let's read a paragraph from the Edible.

Book of Kishi: 3:
14:
Thus did the apprentice Murder lap-pour His coffee.
15:
And he asked forgiveness on his knees, and he wailed, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't hurt me.
16:
And He stood up in his divine glory, and the stains disappeared from his cloak, and his face bore the wrath of the High Heavens and his eyed burned with holy ire.
17:
And he opened his mouth and the white flames of the purifying rivers of Paradise B sprout forth, and the earth shook, and the skies were ablaze.
18: And the seas rose and sunk, and the trees grew abnormally fast, and the trouts swam in discord, and the sausages popped, and the medical closets all over the world opened, and the angels wailed, and the daemons cowered, and the cows mooed, and the bird didn't give a damn, and the houses danced, though slowly, and people shouted out to their Gods saying, Oh, help us, oh he's not going to help us, oh gods, we're smurfed.
19: And He spake, saying: That's OK.
20: And everyone breathed again.
21: All expect he who was called apprentice Murder and who passed out.

Now, let us pray.

Dear Sean, who art up there somewhere, I dunno, probably, if you are not drunk,
Hear our prayers and sooth the heart of those who are in guilt, and those who are in pain of heart. Hear our prayers and bring forth the bonds of forgiveness you gave us last month, because we really, really need them. Oh, and BOU asked for a lottery-win. And BoB wants a new car. But that's about it. And say hi to missus Sean, and tell her we enjoyed her gingerbreads very much. And try to stay outta the spirits for just a little while, eh? Amen.

Pee Ess: I could really use some Old Bearhugger, if you catch my drift, eh, eh.

EDIT: Found some more gold!

I glanced at Dan. "Yikes."
   "Yikes indeed," he answered.
I returned my look back to the sordid view before us. Two bodies, one male in red robes, wearing a golden mask and a long, white wig, one female wearing a Soviet-era uniform and a fake walrus-moustache, arranged in the choreography of love. A choreography paralysed by violent death.
Kinky.
   "Gives a whole new meaning to 'rigor mortis', doesn't it?" I tried to lighten the mood.
Dan just looked at me.
   "The male is Wesley Ruston, 26 year old school-buss driver, lived on Main Street with his mother. The woman is Sheba Mountleigh, 24 years old, married, lived here. Her husband has been out of town for a week, and found them like this this morning."
"They were shot at close range with an old Colt, no fingerprints. A day or three old, we'll have to wait for the lab."
   "Hmmm," I hmmed. "Witnesses?"
   "The neighbours heard nothing."
   "Tricky," I concluded. "The hubby's alibi?"
   "Drinking-binge, followed by off-road driving and a day of sitting in the jail to sleep it off."
   "Tricky..." I repeated.
I looked around at the bustling and hustling CSI. "Outside?"
   "Right."
As we got out of the stinking apartment, I stared at the sky as Dan lit a cigar.
   "Your wife'll go berserk."
   "She'll survive."
I shook my head at him.
   "So..." he said after a moment. "Any ideas?"
   "None whatsoever."
   "Tsk. Too bad." He blew a smoke-ring.
   "I wonder..."
   "What?"
   "Who's going to pry them apart?" I said as I picked out a handkerchief and blew my nose in it.
   "Oh shut up."

To Be Continued.

Well, I joined as Demosthenes. I'm fairly certain I changed that name pretty quickly, though. Either way, I thought he'd remember me as Shorty but oh well!

all I care about is that I'm remembered :love: :love: :love:

Nait: welcome back, man. Remember when you PM'd me asking if I was the real Raistlin, the "legend"? :p Good times, good times. And like Daniel, I miss your entertaining EoFF tales!

Also, ahaha and all the colored-text people coming out of the woodwork. I'm pretty sure Daniel was referring to The Man.

Honestly, I just did for awhile because I was trying to copy Britt.

Reading all of this is making me remember people vaguely and realizing that the vast majority of you have no idea who I am or only barely remember me, which makes me feel like I never really put enough time into this place.

Hey, I do! You were one of my favorite EoEO (and EotW) posters for a while. Remember the debates with Cloud No.9? Oh man, those were some interesting times. EoEO nowadays is much more tame.

Fair citizens, it's been a long time since I've posted a new thread (or anything else for that matter) on these fine fora, and you must know that I do so now to raise awareness about an issue of the gravest import. California, the proud home state of many of EoFF's founding members and everyone's favorite soulless wasteland faces a crisis of leadership. Dissatisfied with the current recession, the loss of jobs, the state's nearly $40 billion budget deficit, and with memories and continuing fears of blackouts and brownouts in mind, at least 1.3 million Californians have decided that they want Gray out. That's right, as I'm sure you've heard, notoriously dull and unpopular Governor Gray Davis will have to hit the campaign trail in the middle of his term to persuade California voters not to kick him out of office in the recall election on October 7. Now, I don't particularly know or care enough about California politics to have much interest in whether Davis's administration has tarnished the Golden State, necessitating his early dismissal, but what I am passionate about is doing everything in my power to turn the democratic process into even more of a ridiculous political circus. Just having Arnold Schwarzenegger as a possible Republican candidate in the race isn't enough for me, particularly in the post-Jesse Ventura era; nor should it be for you, my friends. No, what we have here is an opportunity to launch a new campaign for a new century, to give the people of California the kind of leadership they deserve, and for these reasons, we must nominate for office our own IGN64skanker.

This is an appeal to the residents of California here, to the members of EoFF in general, and to the whole of Mankind: Skanker would make an ideal governor, and his candidacy is well within the realm of possibility. Did you know that in order to appear on the recall ballot, a potential candidate need only get 65 signatures of fellow party members and raise $3500? If he or she can get 10,000 signatures, there is no fee at all! For only minimal effort and perhaps small donations, you too can be a part of the Skanker for Governor campaign. So here's what we need from you, especially from the Californians out there:

Step 1. Figure out what party he's going to belong to. Since I don't think he's a registered member of any political party, we'll have to fake it. We might be able to sneak him into one of the two major parties without much trouble, but if someone from the leadership discovers that he's not a registered member who gives them money, it could create bad publicity. Having Skanker run under the banner of an established third party should prove less difficult, as they're usually happy enough just to get candidates. Besides, I doubt they'd bother going through the trouble of looking through the member list because who really wants to get the shoe box down from the shelf?

Step 2. Form a committee to organize the collection of signatures and campaign contributions to get him on the ballot. The deadline for this is August 9, so like any good, expeditious committee, they should complete the preliminary phase of planning by the end of September.

Step 3. Get volunteers throughout the state to bypass the committee and start gathering the necessary signatures and money by any means necessary. Now, I can get signatures from 65,000 dead people in Chicago, but there are presumably a few concerned citizens who would object to out-of-state corpses' having a role in their political process. I figure we can shake off these criticisms in two ways: first, we blame other candidates for getting signatures from illegal immigrants. The allegation doesn't have to be true--in fact, I wouldn't even recommend looking at their lists--but merely mentioning the idea of such a thing is enough to change the subject for a while and get people near the Mexican border up in arms. While the media and the public are distracted by our claim, we can convince the strongly anti-Davis Republican candidates that the signatures we collected were actually from relatives of the governor who were so disappointed with his performance that they wanted to disown him. They can run some TV and radio ads about it, and I predict that few would doubt the story. After all, who can deny the close resemblance in appearance and mannerisms between Gray Davis and a cadaver?

Step 4. After we've secured a spot on the ballot for our man Skanker, we can use the estimated $3.17 in our coffers to begin campaigning for the general election. Now, because we won't be able to afford conventional advertising on the air, in print, or even on people's front lawns and lapels, and since Skanker has absolutely no name recognition, we'll have to run a different kind of campaign. At first, members of the Skanker for Governor team (that's YOU!) should spread the word by making their own signs and standing at busy intersections, shouting at people. Be creative. To attract media attention, try shaving 'Elect Skanker' into the coats of all the cats and dogs in your neighborhood. They'll put this kind of thing on the news, and it won't cost you a dime. People like pets, and they'll remember this, so it'll be just like running a cute campaign ad.

Tell everyone you meet about Skanker's candidacy and take some time to explain to them why they should vote for him. Don't be discouraged by gruff remarks or a little pepper spray; you're an important part of a team now, and you should always remember that there are a lot of caring, like-minded people behind you who will support you when you think the cause is lost and who will pay for a bail bond or two.

From a purely political perspective, once we get even a small grassroots movement going for him, Skanker should have no trouble winning this election. His natural charisma and famed eloquence will captivate potential voters watching televised debates even after security guards remove him from the audience. I firmly believe that Skanker's stance on the issues people care about gives him the ability to appeal to California's diverse granola bar electorate, scoring points with the nuts, the fruits, and the flakes alike. He has solutions to all the state's problems, but he's not going to confuse voters by publishing a long, complicated platform that uses lots of big words and political doublespeak. No, Skanker will always speak from the heart; he'll let you know exactly what his 'bag' is, and my friends, it is without a doubt a bag of values. Indeed, the tradition that Skanker most proudly calls his bag, the All-Male Group Hug, will be a big hit in the Bay Area and will also appeal to female voters, especially the suburban, minivan-driving Oprah-followers, as it will send them the clear message that Skanker is a sensitive man, not afraid to share his feelings.

Even the possible candidacy of Arnold Schwarzenegger will not daunt our campaign. In fact, Skanker has a number of advantages over the Terminator himself, in spite of the wide gap in name recognition. First, in the 2000 presidential election, a majority of Californians voted for Al Gore, showing a preference against guys with funny accents who like to shoot things. Second, Skanker has never appeared in a movie like Hercules in New York or Last Action Hero. Against some of the less famous candidates with more government experience, Skanker might face a little more trouble. They'll criticize him, saying that he's never been elected or appointed to a government office and that he couldn't possibly know how to successfully run the largest state in the country. In most elections, candidates in a similar position dismiss or simply ignore the charges and hire consultants to teach them how to seem knowledgeable in fields in which they may have shown weaknesses. I say that when Skanker is accused of being inexperienced, he should run with it.

Let's face it: around election time, the talking heads in the media like to go on about how inexperienced candidates are at a disadvantage, and career politicians running for office subtly or not so subtly hint that their less-experienced opponents aren't even fit for the job, but does your average American really care about any of this? Absolutely not. Americans don't really want someone they see as being any smarter or more competent to hold a position of great power than they are to be governing them--they want some slob they can relate to. That's why Skanker is perfect: is the fact that he hasn't graduated from college going to make the average voter think that he's not intelligent enough? Certainly not. Did Bill Clinton brag about studying at and earning degrees from Georgetown, Yale, and Oxford? No, he appealed to the average joe in his presidential campaign, playing the saxophone and talking about his underwear on MTV. Americans don't want elected officials to have Ph.D's in philosophy or something because only the French let people like that have influence, and every decent American knows that France is the European wing of the Islamic Jihad. Is the fact that Skanker has never held office going to hurt him? Of course not. That just means he's still a regular citizen, a representative of the common man and not a corrupt bureaucrat. Is the fact that he's never even voted in a major election going to make people question his commitment and his ability to lead them? Absolutely not--that's something a lot of Americans can really relate to.

Step 5. Oh, yeah. And I guess someone should eventually tell Skanker that he's going to be running for governor.

So, it's time that we act, my friends! Skanker must be elected Governor of California. Show your support for his candidacy right here in this thread, and if you see him on AIM (Westska21 or IGN64skanker), make sure to tell him something like "Congratulations and good luck. If I were from California, you'd have my full support. You're doing a great service. God bless you." Just don't mention words like 'governor,' 'election,' 'campaign,' or 'vote' quite yet. That part should be a little surprise, don't you think?

You should also help us out by posting proposals for campaign slogans and making banners for signatures. As you can see, my signature now bears the slogan "Skanker for Governor: Because RSL is from Iowa"

If you remember dear old Skank, share your favorite stories about him, and if you don't, feel free to fabricate some. Help the voters out by telling everyone some other things that are his 'bag'.

If you're still not convinced, feel free to raise any questions or concerns about anything at all right here. I'll do my best to answer them. If, for instance, you are not clear as to where Skanker stands on a particular issue, I am fully authorized to act as his official spokesman*.

Thank you for your time and for your support, good citizens.

*This is in no way meant to imply that Skanker has given me permission to speak for him in any way.

Can't believe this place is still going strong since.. 2001? When I originally joined. Lots of people have come and gone. But the memories will always remain. This place got me through some very tough childhood years.

After making a lot of friends.. Daniel, Nicky, Rinoa, Danni, Daryl, Kawaii Ryûkishi .. and some enemies.. Scottie (I still hate you, try picking on me now) I only have two people that I still keep in touch with via the wonders of Facebook. Which is how I know about this thread now.

But he also brought the message of It Is The Final Decision And Nothing Will Budge Us From Unhurting. And he also brought the message of He Stays Hurt. And so forth and so forth. Now, let's read a paragraph from the Edible.

Book of Kishi: 3:
14:
Thus did the apprentice Murder lap-pour His coffee.
15:
And he asked forgiveness on his knees, and he wailed, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't hurt me.
16:
And He stood up in his divine glory, and the stains disappeared from his cloak, and his face bore the wrath of the High Heavens and his eyed burned with holy ire.
17:
And he opened his mouth and the white flames of the purifying rivers of Paradise B sprout forth, and the earth shook, and the skies were ablaze.
18: And the seas rose and sunk, and the trees grew abnormally fast, and the trouts swam in discord, and the sausages popped, and the medical closets all over the world opened, and the angels wailed, and the daemons cowered, and the cows mooed, and the bird didn't give a damn, and the houses danced, though slowly, and people shouted out to their Gods saying, Oh, help us, oh he's not going to help us, oh gods, we're smurfed.
19: And He spake, saying: That's OK.
20: And everyone breathed again.
21: All expect he who was called apprentice Murder and who passed out.

Now, let us pray.

Dear Sean, who art up there somewhere, I dunno, probably, if you are not drunk,
Hear our prayers and sooth the heart of those who are in guilt, and those who are in pain of heart. Hear our prayers and bring forth the bonds of forgiveness you gave us last month, because we really, really need them. Oh, and BOU asked for a lottery-win. And BoB wants a new car. But that's about it. And say hi to missus Sean, and tell her we enjoyed her gingerbreads very much. And try to stay outta the spirits for just a little while, eh? Amen.

Pee Ess: I could really use some Old Bearhugger, if you catch my drift, eh, eh.

I glanced at Dan. "Yikes."
   "Yikes indeed," he answered.
I returned my look back to the sordid view before us. Two bodies, one male in red robes, wearing a golden mask and a long, white wig, one female wearing a Soviet-era uniform and a fake walrus-moustache, arranged in the choreography of love. A choreography paralysed by violent death.
Kinky.
   "Gives a whole new meaning to 'rigor mortis', doesn't it?" I tried to lighten the mood.
Dan just looked at me.
   "The male is Wesley Ruston, 26 year old school-buss driver, lived on Main Street with his mother. The woman is Sheba Mountleigh, 24 years old, married, lived here. Her husband has been out of town for a week, and found them like this this morning."
"They were shot at close range with an old Colt, no fingerprints. A day or three old, we'll have to wait for the lab."
   "Hmmm," I hmmed. "Witnesses?"
   "The neighbours heard nothing."
   "Tricky," I concluded. "The hubby's alibi?"
   "Drinking-binge, followed by off-road driving and a day of sitting in the jail to sleep it off."
   "Tricky..." I repeated.
I looked around at the bustling and hustling CSI. "Outside?"
   "Right."
As we got out of the stinking apartment, I stared at the sky as Dan lit a cigar.
   "Your wife'll go berserk."
   "She'll survive."
I shook my head at him.
   "So..." he said after a moment. "Any ideas?"
   "None whatsoever."
   "Tsk. Too bad." He blew a smoke-ring.
   "I wonder..."
   "What?"
   "Who's going to pry them apart?" I said as I picked out a handkerchief and blew my nose in it.
   "Oh shut up."

To Be Continued.

First of all, Hi Chauntell ( amirite?)! I'm looking at your post count. You never really posted 100? :)

Secondly, I think you now scared Nait away BoB. You slammed to his face what's been keeping him from coming back! You don't have it so bad, Nait. I used to draw some very disturbed stuff with MS paint and post it here. This hobby of mine even carried to FFXI, where I became notorious for posting similar things on LS websites. But this time, penises and asses became involved too. Plus lots of other stuff. Actually I got contact from old FFXI friend and she had two scans which had me in tears.

Seriously though Nait, great stuff. smurf me it made my EoFF experience better when there was another weirdly Finn. :)

I guess maybe I should say more about what I have been up to...
hmmm, well! I'm a social worker and I work at a women's shelter currently. I run and anti-violence group with children and I do counselling. Never thought I'd ever go to university, but here I am with two BAs. I still enjoy doing art but I mostly do it on the side for now.
This is starting to look like a resume.
I still live at home.. but I am looking to move out this summer with my boyfriend.. who is actually more into video games than I am.. and equally charming. :D
Why is it that it seems a only a small paragraph sums up the past 10 years of my life?

Ok, now for the sappy part:
I have read a few people's posts about how this place helped them through their teenage years and I can really relate to that. I was a really shy kid growing up with not much confidence in myself. Coming on here, I fely accepted and I felt like I could be myself without being judged in the way that I had been at school. The people here kept me company when I am sure I would have felt pretty alone otherwise. For that I am very thankful.

I have made several offers to attempt to restore the missing posts from the culling of 2003, since the staff apparently either don't have the interest or don't have the knowledge of how to restore them. I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to restore them without trouble either, but I have some ideas. No one seems to want to bother though.

Btw, hi to everyone who's posted since my last post - I had seriously thought I would never hear from some of you again :monster:

Btw, hi to everyone who's posted since my last post - I had seriously thought I would never hear from some of you again :monster:

Not that you aren't already, but you would definitely be my hero if you pulled it off.

Having to catch up on threads is "the pits".

It is great to see a few more familiar faces in here like Chauntell, Silverlocke, and Alixsar. Great to hear how you're doin'.

There are various concerns I have about attempting to restore posts, but if you like, Manny, PM me with what you've got and we might be in a better position to look into it than we have been in the past.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Review Videos - G4tv.com

I remember my friend showing me this review and about thirty seconds in, the girl says something like, "Even if you never moderated a forum on Eyes on FF".

Not all of us have moderated around here, but most of us have been around a long time in and out, and in the spirit of reunion, did you realize that our little group, spanning over a decade, was mentioned on a third-rate television channel?

We should be very proud, I think. :3

This got me curious as to who wrote the review--X-Play's hosts would do the voiceovers, but they had a larger staff of writers who'd actually review the games and write out the scripts--so I did some Googling, and I think I know the guy who wrote it. Well, I "know" him through Twitter, which sort of counts. Going to see if he wrote it, and if he was ever a member here. That'd be pretty neat.

Oh yeah. I hold grudges, like, forever. It's one of my favourite self qualities. I attempted to look for some of the pictures from the olden days, but seems to have been lost. I bet I still have them on a CD somewhere, though.

I was going to post a picture of us from the golden years, then a recent picture. A lot would have changed in a decade.

Edit: Found a quickcam picture that says it was created on "‎Thursday, ‎11 ‎October ‎2001, ‏‎12:11:00 PM" which was around the time I was on EoFF. If my memory serves me, I was actually talking to an international member at the time.

And then we have me circa 2012.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...pse2a5d022.jpg

I really think that's enough posts from me for the next 12 months. I think i've gone past my quota.

There wasn't really a proposal. We just talked about doing it and decided to go ahead with it. =P We already feel like we're married.

Also, there won't be a wedding, 'cause we're not into that. We're not sure what we're doing exactly yet. We just picked out rings last weekend.

So to continue the nostalgia overload, Thanos coincidentally left me a usernote today, apparently without having even known of this thread (I made sure to link him here in my response). I think there's only a handful of people who posted in this thread who would even remember Thanos.

Does anyone remember when Cid discovered the FFI website that "plagiarized" EoFF which turned out to be Thanos's? That was amusing.

Anyways, nice to see everyone's stories of life and love, and baby-making. Thanks for the continued support of keeping the species alive. To all the oldbies: You were all a great memory of my past and it is hard to say I would be the same.

It was in French. Unne had given Thanos permission to translate his old FF Classic into French, and of course Unne's website became EoFF's FFI section.
