Also, apparently I have 5 gil.
You double-posting bastard.
I couldn't resist.
Dang, you have more than 30,000 more posts than me.
Hi Cid how is everything? Yes, some of us like to still communicate like the old folks with their dial up connections. Some of us are not witty enough to use memes either. So forums still exist for us fringe elements.
Yeah, that's what happens when you're a filthy double-posting abandoning bastard. How's Winston?
ALL HAIL CID! *grovels*
Hi Summoner and Mr. Wolf.
Winston is well. He grows stronger and wiser each day and I'm pretty sure he is planning the uprising soon.
Good to hear from you!
I almost had to double take to look at the name of the topic creator.
Do you plan on posting more often or are you just dropping in?
Is there a term similar to "the prodigial son returns", but not for sons? And I suppose not for prodigies, either.
Aha! The Original OP returns?
Now you have 8 gil.
Seattle is neat. Come party!
You didn't change your avatar for GoT month D:
If you get to 30,000 gil you can purchase another member of the forum.
Welcome back!
Don't worry about us. BoB will keep EoFF going until he is dead. He may be 85, senile, and the last survivor of World War 4, but he'll be here. Speaking of nuclear holocausts, do you look at EoFF in the same way that Einstein viewed the atomic bomb, in a "What hath I wrought?" kind of a way?
Welcome back!
Please don't ban edczxcvbnm! Sorry, that was a reflex.
Posting just so I can say I've posted in the same thread as this great forum's creator. xD
Hello. :3
(tbh I have probably done so in the past, but whatever)
Hello. Would you like some goddamn tea?
Hello Cid :)
Uh listen Cid we tend to prefer people post their Introduction threads in the Wonder Square forum.
:roll2 newbies.
Hi Cid. Nice to see you again. :)
To answer your question, "Insomnia lasts longer than 140 characters".
Hey, thanks to you there's a couple out there having a baby! How does this make you feel?
If you still frequented this place and did a bit for the frontsite, Cid, you'd be getting all-expenses-paid trips to SE's HQ and having free games sent to you ahead of release. ;)
I'm doing well thank you very much. :)
I do plan to respond to this thread in full, but I've been working since 7am this morning. Almost off of work! Open house tonight...
Yah we've really upped our communication with SE the past yearish and they are loving us for it. They've been sending us swag, they sent me to san Francisco for a PR event, and they just sent us an early copy of tomb raider. Hell, they bought del, shorty, Miriel, and I booze! If you come stick around more you can get free booze too ;)
Who the hell's this Cid guy?
i have some moles i really wanna get checked out but other than that i can't complain
is it true what they say about cid?
i like boozeQuote:

Hey man. How's the job treating you? Any mini Cids yet?
Raf and Phoenix met at FFL, I think, so I'm not sure they count. Danielle's name isn't TBC xD But we are as a couple yet to be wed, yup. So, by the end of this year, the count should reach four.
Wait... five. I know of another couple but I'm not sure if it's my place to say or not because they stopped posting here some time ago and got married afterwards and I don't know if anyone knows about it... But definitely at least four already married. I'd rather con one of them into returning and mentioning it than just saying it on their behalf without their permission. They seem to be rather secretive these days.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE A REALITY TELLY SHOW YET?
Srsly, get SquareEnix to sponsor your wedding so I can be your groomswoman and Joe can be the Actual Best Man At Yr Wedding =/ =/ =/
Nikki and Will, Kali and Lynx
I think both of those couples met before EoFF. Not certain, though...
LOL
I'd love to come party in Seattle.
Probably just dropping in to be honest, but you never know...
I'm a HUGE GoT fan, but I didn't know you guys had a theme going. I can't get rid of my Cid avatar... it'd be like taking Washington off of the $1 bill.
Bullseye. I actually often wonder about what kind of impact this site had that I'm totally unaware of. I'd like to do one of these It's a Wonderful Life things where I could see how wouldn't have gotten married or had kids or whatever without the site :)
Apparently. To put it politely, this place isn't quite as lively as a I remember. Who does a guy have to un-ban to reinvigorate this place?
I'm gonna double post again. I gotta pad that post count.
Who would that be? That is pretty exciting.
That's what Shlup just told me. What the heck?! Square Enix is a stupid company. This site was incredibly popular and they ignored us. Their stock fell, quality sorta lagged, and only now are they delivering the goods! Just make the FFVII remake already.
Daaaaaaang. Only towards the end did we get some game copies to raffle off. That's about it...
If it's changing shape or color, please see your physician.
Yup. 100 duck-sized horses.
Job is pretty good. Kind of a bleh year, but I really enjoy teaching history. No mini-Cids yet, but stay tuned. I can't give Shlup too much of a head start...
I have a feeling I might know what you're talking about...
Heck yeah I still use them. Forums, chans (of the pony variety where people use names and make friends), Skype, Twitter, Farcebook, the lot. Doing just fine and very well connected to the interwebs!
Good to see you Cid-sama.
Hey Cid, it's been awhile. I probably haven't logged on here in a couple of years either.
The couple that Loony BoB is referring to (and I make this assumption based on him directing me here) is myself and Sapphiresea. She never really posted here much so I doubt that's a familiar name to anyone. In may we will have been married 6 years. We met right here on EoFF.
I wasn't really being secretive. It was just the fact that few know who she is and me being gone for some time made it seem silly to pop on here to announce it. So blame BoB. ;)
:rsl:
wait since both cid and rsl will have posted in the previous 6 months that means they're eligible for ciddies when the time comes
You were indeed who I was referring to, RSL, and I wasn't sure if you were being secretive or not, so better safe than sorry. :D Someone actually alerted me to another married couple, now. Let's see if I can get one of them to post in here, too... ;)
Hi RSL! Hi Cid! I don't know if I should say >_>
trout, I just realized I missed my own marriage anniversary, two days ago. Oh well, with both of our birthdays, the wedding anniversary and (most importantly), the anniversary of the day we met, that's too many things to keep track of.
I could have made a nice dinner, though. :(
BoB harassed me while I was at work and I hate work, so...sup?
It was indeed Fireball. I was quite impressed with it at the time.
I was told to come here. Is this the right place?
This is all a conspiracy. A goddamn conspiracy!
Who are all of these new people??? Let's get rid of 'em.
Also, no more weird names like "Shlup Quack"
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal! *tacklehug*
Oh man, I can't believe I have so many of you guys on my Facebook. More to the point, I can't believe so many of you don't post at EoFF anymore. >=o
No, wait, that's a lie. I can believe it. But seriously man you guys shouldn't abandon us for so long at a time.
Nothing to see here. Move along, now.
PS: I'm smashing, if anyone remembers me. <_<
I know a few people remember you in #eoff, because we mentioned you about a week or so ago, I think. >=]
Long live #analgoatfarmers.
I obviously wasn't around when many of you were actively posting, but I get bored and frequent the archives and some of the waaaaaaaaay older threads. It's cool seeing some names from the past turn up.
I think I've now contacted about 30 people, and on a sidenote, I think Shorty will murder me sometime soon because she insisted I let her know next time I'm going to do this so she can help out. =x
EDIT: :mwahaha: More of you! Yay! You guys are the best <3
I'm a happy Pokémon! ^______^
Hi.
My last post was two weeks ago but at BoB's age the memory starts failing and you start to get less attentive so he asked me to come post in this thread. I'm not sure if I should be offended that he doesn't notice these things anymore or honored that he thinks I was important enough at one time that I need to come back and post again.
Either way, there's this FFV accessories page that has been sitting on my desktop since 2008 for the frontsite and one day I may even get around to uploading it.
He got you too huh? Well I told him I'd post when I got home but I'm in a boring meeting all day so why not just post now?
Hi everyone. Cid you wrote my name in fries.
I'm married with a kid too! But she's not from EoFF so I'm not as cool. I haven't been gone all that long either, I still lurk from time to time.
If even one or two of them stick around, I will be happy in my special place. If none of them stick around, well, at least they said hello. Better than nothing. :D
If you're suddenly back because of me: Forget what I just said. It's not better than nothing to just say hello. You have to spend your entire life here, for the rest of eternity. That would be better than nothing. :shifty:
Is my darling demondude still around?
RESHA!
*Glomp*
Read me a story?
BoB harassed me too, and in the middle of night shift. What a tool. :cry:
To respond to OP, doing well. I'm -believe it or not- nursing supervisor. Living pretty happy life. Not kids yet, maybe one day I'll multiply.
And so nice to see some of the older faces from beginning of millienium. :) Good memories et cetera.
So many oldbies popping up! Bob, please locate Kamiko, Iri, Zuzu and Leeza. :(
Yeah, it's me. I don't have a wife or a kid or anything, but my career is pretty cool.
You all helped me win a job in a YouTube contest in 2009: http://home.eyesonff.com/general-cha...me-voting.html
Well, after that ended I started doing StarCraft II videos on YouTube and have turned into an Internet celebrity-type person. AskJoshy - PC Games - YouTube is my channel, and has 18.2 million views! I broadcast and commentate a game called ShootMania (ShootMania Storm - The new online FPS by NADEO) for the time being, and work for IGN. I am about to go work for an even cooler company, so I may come back and update you all when that happens.
My Twitter is http://www.twitter.com/AskJoshy for anyone who'd like to keep up with my adventures. =)
Mik, if your night shift is boring, you should pop into #eoff <3
Chris: I can manage Leeza, but I don't know about the other three. =x
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3 *Bite*
What the hell Linus I thought you died like ten years ago.
(the reference to that was obligatory)
We can only stick around a day or two because Loony b00b smells. We do truly love you all and want to be here but it's all BoB's fault.
Actually, no... I hate all the members of EoFF... except for you. Yeah, you. The one reading this. Unless you're one I actually don't like and then no, not you. But if it's the one I do like, then feel special. If you're not the one I like, then may many drunken monkeys fling burning poo at you.
Don't mind me, I'm old and senile now. :banme
This...this is too much, all these old members and stuff. I think I'm just going to...:cry:
'kishi still around or what happened to that lovely creep?
I'll get rubah to nag Kishi, I obviously don't have that fella on Facebook. Because MYSTERY.
He made it to ten years then abandoned us.
:shifty: will always exist.
I'm married now, with no leeches (aka children). My husband and I currently travel the states and the world whenever I can get time off of work. Last year was pretty busy, I think we visited twelve states and five countries.
I still have this picture of resha:
What is all of this trout? Cid and others from a time since long past have returned like the undead to seek vengeance on those who have brains...delicious nutritious brains! I don't really have much to say...I guess? I lurk back every now and then for an interesting topic or two. In real life my invention to rid the earth of the mole people failed to meet government regulations. Something about devastation to the food supply and massive levels of radiation...I tell you, the government is just too afraid to solve the most critical situations of our time!
thread needs more jojo
Yes, more monkey.
WHAT THE smurf IS HAPPENING OH MY GOD
MIKZTSU
LINUS
HALAN
CID
WHAT
:stare:
AND YOU DIDN'T MESSAGE ME

*cries like a baby*
I only visited Amsterdam last summer. Great place! Lack of freetime is holding me back. Have 2 x 2 weeks holiday coming summer. Will surely travel around. Braziul, 2014 FIFA World Cup, I'll be there.
So I have to establish my oldbie cred and let everyone know that I was on Zell 007 and Hsu for those of you that stopped posting after like 2003. I'm a real boy!
is this a request taking thread? please flag down Spatvark and Jebus if so.
Get Cz here and then maybe I'll be impressed. And make him stay in the Football Thread with us where he belongs forever.
Well, we were on a very tight schedule since there wasnt much daylight and we wanted to hit up some distilleries. We really planned the trip at the last minute...I mean we were booking hotels for Wales in a Starbucks in Edinburgh the day before driving there. I'm sure we'll go back soon, we both loved Scotland.
At first I was like, person I've heard of, person I've heard of, person I've heard of, person I haven't heard of, person I've heard of... then Resha posted and I was like, HI!!!!
In my head.
I would be happy if Spatvark posted but kikimm would be the awesomest. I haven't heard from her in a few years now.
Shoeberto should go back to being Zell 007. Again.
Always hated the name changes.
Oldbies return and everyone goes back to their original names. I approve.
so after making the worst thread of the year, towns turns around and turns this into the best thread of the year
you're alright, you
Can you link me to this worst thread?
Wow, this thread has gone from Cid returning to an incoming horde of returning oldbies just to say hi.
Even Bombshell made an appearance! :love:
I moved to Canada and married Skye-chan. Not in that order. Leeza is my mother (-in-law). Is someone keeping score?
Life is good and has been for, oh, let's say eight years. EoFF helped get me through some bad times. You're a decent lot. (Raistlin excepted, obviously.)

Soup is my favourite thread of the year. :D
EDIT: UNNE! :D
jeez this is weird
Wow, always happy to hear this kind of news. :) Pass hi to Skye from me, maybe have him post here. :) EoFF was always great place for me to be, and although this has to sound corny - it always has special place in my heart, eventhough I don't post or lurk anymore. Aside from Pro Evolution Soccer community league, EoFF has been the only forum I have been frequent to.
And Proto, hi. :) You remind me of that awful nickname change...was it proto ---> Preton, or something. Now that was bad. :love:
edit: any of you ever fancy a game of good old PES, PM me your tag on 360 or PSN
This thread is truly amazing.
So many people. So many memories. Most of them pretty darn good.
Cid ✔
Unne ✔
Scottie - Perhaps there are others better suited to contacting this fella
Linus ✔
IGN64Skanker - I've contacted ramza and either he or Cid might have some luck getting in touch with Skanker.
Melted Snowman - Hmm...
Acmlm - ✔ One step ahead of you on this one. ;)
Agent Proto ✔
Chewbacca - Hmm...
Chickencha - ✔ One step ahead of you on this one. ;)
what is this sorcery?
Workin' on it, Mik. :D
I played Ragnarok Online with you! You were the guy with the 99/50 Soldier named Doppelganger! :aimsun:
Sup Acmlm
I heard RSL was here, so I came by.
RSL it warms my heart to see you're doing well because you were always the nicest dude.
I hope Yamaneko posts in this this thread. He was the funniest sarcastic dude.
Cid, thanks again for making EoFF. We played games on Xbox Live a few times but that was about about six years ago, so who knows if you remember me.
For the past six months or so an idea for an article about this place has been simmering in the back of my mind; its people and its magic, silliness, regular drama, occasional self-importance, and relative rarity as a longstanding community. But especially its origins at that unique moment in time when the Internet was in its infancy, and when a high school kid could start up something with his friends that would grow to affect the lives of thousands of people. You (and many other people) did that, and it's something to be proud of.
Alright, the Facebook messages worked.
So about 3.5 years ago, Rinoabella and I got married and now we live in New Zealand. We're expecting our first child (a boy) on June 8. Kel says she'll make an appearance later.
It's fun to see that I actually recognize many of the names here, although I can't remember who's who in every case due to name changes.
Well, I was having a splendid Friday until I got a creepy message from some guy called DanieLoony that I initially dismissed as spam. I was about to block it when I read the contents... EoFF reunion going on?! I guess I was kind of active back in the day, and was feeling a bit nostalgic, so here I am! So... thanks for tracking me down, BoB... I know it must have been hard, what with me never changing my AIM name and it being in my profile and all.
So, anyway, it's pretty nutty to see all these familiar names that I haven't seen in... gee... I dunno... I think I MIGHT have posted once or twice since I graduated from university 9 years ago... haha! No offense to y'all, though... y'all be a fine lot.
As for me, I'm currently working at Disney Mobile as a designer for mobile games. I did my time in QA for longer than I'd like to admit, but I finally made it to design, so I'm pretty happy. So, you guys should all go and play Where's My Water? It's waaaaay better than that crappy game about the birds with temper problems!
I'm also pretty impressed that my profile is pretty much completely intact since I last touched it. Besides my sig, which I am too lazy to change. Deal with it!
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR RED XIII AND CLOUD COMICS
PLEASE SAY YES
PLEAAAASE
That's the most amazing thing I've ever heard.
I'd love to see Snizz again. He was seriously a living legend.
Here's a name I haven't seen in forever. What are you up to these days? I remember being seriously impressed with your coding skills back in the day.
I don't understand what is going on anymore
Someone help
Psh, you've been on my AIM list forever. xD No need for profile checking. :D
Is it free and available for Android?Quote:

EDIT: Also, feel free to play 'remember when Acmlm modded the forums so much they struggled to load' xD I remember the blue and pink usernames depending on gender. :D
Cid, RSL, Unne, Linus...so many familiar faces, it's hard to keep track.
It's as if someone just opened the EoFF history vault. :D
Hi, Cid. :)
Hey everyone!!! Thought I would make a quick appearance before I'm off to pregnancy yoga. Yes Chickencha and I got married in 2009 after meeting on EoFF back in 2001. It's so awesome to see familiar usernames on here! We need a roll call :D
Heya Kel :) Hope the preggernancy is going well and that your yoga is... fun? I'll work on a roll call when more of the people I've contacted have posted, as I hope some more people get a few pleasant surprises from old pals. =]
Downloading now, then. :D
EDIT: I don't think I'll manage Chewbacca, his email is an @eyesonff.com one and it obviously won't work anymore.
Big meetup somewhere convenient, BoB. Make it happen. You be the man on stuff like that.
Good old twilightRO :) (my main character was a knight, though)
My site and board are long gone but I still code stuff, otherwise not a whole lot really :p
I never realized you were here this whole time either, hi too :D
The fun part of being a PHP n00b at the time :p I've really learned things the next few years when working on my own board (which also had the blue/pink names and most of the other changes I made) ...
I think I was on that RO server as well at some point, when Halan/Matt/Kath where spending a lot of their time on it. :)
BoB, go get Asorie and BOU in here etc.
Funny story: My steam ID is loserkid@eyesonff.com, because when I registered it just defaulted my username to my e-mail address. Since then it's been made so that you can have a separate ID from your e-mail, but since I have like >100 games linked to my account, I've just kept it, and I blame you.
Needs moar Happypeepeehead.
Ahhh, so much congrats! Babies everywhere! :jess:
So crazy/awesome how many relationships (romantic or otherwise) have their roots in EoFF. Del Murder and I got married last September after 7 years of dating. We live in the SF Bay Area now. He's Vice President of a big company now, and my photography work gets published in major blogs and magazines. So life has been pretty damn great to us, and I would credit a chunk of that to having found each other here. It's something I'm really grateful for and I don't take for granted.
Dr Unne? Never heard of him. Edczxcvbnm - now there is an unforgettable name!
I remember both of course. Ahh the glory days!
Also about 99% sure I joined around '99, not sure what happened with the join date though. A forum nuke and rebuild rings a bell.
Splendid reunion, shall we don some black capes?
What was HPPH's username at EoFF? It's not coming up. Unless he changed it to happypig, because that's the result I managed to scrummage when searching usernames for 'happyp'...
EDIT: On a sidenote, Locky, get your man to post in this thread and say his old username, because otherwise none of the old members will know who he is...
*snip* :) :cat:
I don't think you remember me, but hi Cid. Also everyone else.
This is so sickeningly nostalgic that it's kind of wonderful. It's making me remember all kinds of stuff. Like the previously mentioned TwilightRO and various ... people and things. Who woulda thunk it. Guess it just goes to show you the power of stalking and Facebook. Not gonna name names, but
... g'job, Towns. This is truly a talent!
But only if you can get Snizz.
Snizz :( and HOOTERS. :smash: I want to see those two post again.
Yes, quite. I remember playing with quite a few people from here and FFL. Like uh... yeah.Quote:
wait

NICOLAS
WERE YOU SERIOUSLY ON TWILIGHT RO?!
So many people I don't/kindof recognize.
I'm scared
Someone hold me.
Just spoke to him, here's what he says:
I asked him about the Happypeepeehead nick:Quote:
Technically, I was only on EoFF for ONE brief period. When I registered Mighty Pirate Faris as a gag to Daryl
I searched, and Mighty Pirate Faris is a "guest" with no account behind it now, and Happypeepeehead has his entry on the wiki, amusingly, but doesn't seem to have posts (might be from before the wipe long long (long) ago if he did post after the easyboard days).Quote:
Hmm, maybe back in the old easyboard days I may have posted but I think it was mostly Bleys. I did have a global account for that service
Wow, so many people I haven't spoken to in years. How are you guys? Hit me up on aim/msn/skype if I ever bother signing on again. Or facebook. I'm on IRC semi-regularly too.
