An e-mail from Loony BoB (or some other such automated message)

So, I checked my e-mail today to find THIS in my mailbox:

Quote:

Hi, Fate Fatale!

It's been a while since we saw you floating around Eyes on Final Fantasy so we figured we'd send you an email in a vain attempt to bug you into posting again. The Ciddies have recently kicked off - EoFF's equivalent of the Oscars, for those of you who aren't aware - and the more people who stop by to join in on the fun, the better! There is allegedly something cooked up for shortly after the Ciddies, too, according to my contacts around the forums...

Oh, and the new frontsite is in the works at the moment, a complete revamp done from scratch by the best monkeys we could get our hands on. We'll tell you when it's live and hopefully you'll enjoy a much more interactive experience - you too could end up with your blogs and posts being pushed to the frontsite if things go according to plan!

Anyway, the main point is that we'd like you to come back and make a post or two, as we miss members when they aren't around and we miss you. Well, we probably do. I've obviously set it so banned members don't get this email, but if you were a jerk then maybe we don't miss you. But best be sure and stop by anyway.

~Loony BoB

I found it interesting that the site is sending out automated e-mails to users that have been inactive for some time. Honestly, I don't mind it at all. It shows that my membership here is actually wanted (even if it is an automated message). I can't count how many sites I'll go to for a few weeks and then get busy and never go back again. I'll rediscover it a few months or years later to find that my account has been scrubbed and no one has a clue who I am.

So thanks to EoFF for actually caring enough to set up an automated message to get me to post here. Hopefully it won't be just this once. :)

Cheers!

It's not automated; BoB actually typed all these emails up. We just decided it was time for some friendly faces to start visiting again!

Glad to see you back! Please never leave :p

Loony BoB emailed me once.

Worst Tuesday ever. So much hair. Good God.

Yup, I typed up 21,781 individual emails. Took me forever considering I had to wait something like 10 seconds between each one. My fingers are so sore. :(

Any similarities between the emails received are entirely coincidental. You see, it has your username! I must have typed them out specifically. :shifty:

Really glad to see some members have returned, though. I plan to send another one out when the new site goes live, but we don't really plan ahead otherwise - we just do these things on the spur of the moment. So yeah, definitely makes it more satisifying to see a member come back. :) Stick around, Fate!

This email is working wonders

I'd like to propose a toast to whoever came up with the idea for them

I quite remember you. Welcome back, dude, stick around.

Welcome back.

Your name does sort of ring a bell but that may just be because I read it 15 minutes ago. :p

I got this as well. I forsee myself sticking around for a week at best (I'm so terrible at staying on forums).

But my favourite skin is gone D<

I care. See look I'm posting. Moving fingers. It's tough. Alright, that's enough physical exercise for today.

You did a good job on it! It's also adorable.

Pike - I do like toast. I love crumpets, too. I'll take whatever I can get, though. :aimsun:

I shall make you crepes or something!

I've no idea how, and truth be told no one should let me near the kitchen, but I'm sure I can sort something out. Right?

I can't remember the name of it but basically it was brown and there was a banner with Vivi and Ifrit and some other characters on it.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and in the box that says "-- NeoClassic" Click and it and switch to one of the "---- EOFF Aeris Reborn" ones.

On a sidenote, anyone who has returned can - from their very brief amount of time since they have returned - still nominate in the Ciddies, you know. :shifty:

I didn't get any "come back" e-mails. Am I not wanted here? D:

You're more than wanted. :jokey:

Seriously though, I don't think you were gone long enough. :p

Coulda sworn you were on the list, actually. D= Odd. I think it was sent to everyone who had not posted after 1st May 2011 and was sent within a day before this thread was posted.

Some people block your spam, Lonny Bob.

That's true. Oh, it wasn't sent to people who have opted out of receiving admin emails, either. We can send them to those members as well (for example if we suffered a PSN-esque hacking obviously it has to be done) but I don't think this kind of email would have been worthy of breaking that agreement. :p

Bump this thread again in like 2 days and I'll look into the specific criteria that led to BoB's email. Maybe we should send another one for a good ol' fashioned oldbie blitz return.

Quin my dear, see this done. I will vote for you in whatever crap that involves you vs Psychotic. :bigsmile:
