Man, I feel an in-joke about the legendary psxboy500 coming on.
Remember the time he did that stuff? Yeah, that was some cool stuff. Like, totally far out. I wish he still posted. Better than all the newbs we have now.
Well yeah. I've only been here over a year and I see a huge change.
Heh, Magestar. What ever happened? :D
I guess some of you believe then, that this place has cashed in. I sorta agree with it, in the sense that back then. With fewer members, you really had a good time with one another. Oh well, bloated it is.
This place also has like a million more members than it did back then.
I was mainly talking about appearance.
We take suggestions for consolidation.
ohhhhhhh no not the nolstalgia anything but the nolstalgia
I like the idea of sub forums but the staff never has and is unwilling to get rid of other forums.
The main difference isn't the appearance so much as it is the fact that prettymuch every name in the Last Post column belongs to a cool person. That could never happen these days without a calculated effort.
Get.
Calculating.
Yeah, that forbin was one cool dude.
but mang, who was that princeofdarknez?
How lame.
You just don't understand. Having darknez is like having mad skillz. It is cool.Quote:

Oh yes it Rirse.
This is even before my time, but not much.
Frihet was cool.
ed, you have made my day in so many ways. :D
*discreetly rigs connect four tournament so ed wins* :p
you know they named podcasts after you, Neel.
I dropped the lawsuit when I got my iPod video for $25.
that was three days after my register date hmmmmmmmmmmm
Your face has become bloated.
I think I had some witty response to Shlup's comment, but I forgot it after watching her sig for twenty minutes. >_<
I only posted three minutes before you and your fat face, Fatty McFat.
... oh. *watches more*
wow *watches*
yeah, ever since that The Man fellow showed up it's been straight downhill http://fools-gold.org/forum/images/smilies/ezpimp.gifQuote:

AS I WALK AWAAAY
I remember that day well
Back then it was more badass because they'd run beta versions of the vB software. I think we were running a gold version of vB when I joined.
I am pretty positive that in 2001, we were not worried about Final Fantasy XI. :D
That picture is a fraud! Someone call BoB in here right away!
NEEL! use your brown and rainbow power to do something about this.
Old Marick, Dignified Manus here, we have a picture to defraud!
I used to visit this site when it used to have the blue theme...I was always a lurker on the boards though. I don't remember but don't if you click on the FF's on the main page some of them are still blue pages?
Okay whatever im rambling.
Now I feel like a newb thanks to this thread.
It's not a fraud. It's archive.org, it's just a cached page generated by a webcrawler.Quote:

Seeing Rirse and Melted Snowman makes me all nostalgic. :(
Seeing Magestar makes me all amused and wanting to make fun of Bleys. :D
Interesting. :eep:
Was that before or after "FRIHET IS PANTS!"?
Dude, it shows me posting in FFXI, man. :pQuote:

Go back 5.5 years ago and you could get away with just about anything outside of the pr0n!!!1 I am sure you could get away with more if go back further. This place has slowly and continues to become more and more Nazi-fied...if that can even be considered a word :confused:Quote:

And hopefully a million times less annoying (though I cannot be sure.)
She does, but its amusing, so you should leave it like that.:hahaha:Quote:

I do believe the "Discuss the..." descriptions for each game's individual forum were still around when I joined. I remember finding that slightly annoying. I like the current descriptions much, much more.
And after all these off-topic posts, it turns out there are at least two forums out there (Gaia Online and IGN) who have over 1,000,000 members, so you're all just silly. :)Quote:

Uhm, I have a job, and checking only took me about two seconds given that there is a site that keeps track of such things out there (Big Boards). Also, there's nothing productive in that post at all so please don't post if you're not going to contribute to the thread, mate. :)Quote:

Bloaty is good. It provides more e-drama. (Scientifically proven!)
And we all know how great e-drama is.

Get it to lose some weight.
Yeah! I haven't been here since 2004 I think, but I do remember the first EoFF prom. Haha good times.
I would remanisjhlkhalkhfbklsbfv whatever with you, but I know my place
In the scale of things the forum has not changed all that much over the time I've been here. but meh :P
*bites BoB*
I have only been here for 4 months...no..6...no 7 wow 7 really? yeah 7, well I have seen many chages in the site just in the time I have been here, so I really cant even begin to Imagin how much it has chaged form back then!:eek:
