My first year at EoFF pretty much changed the way I lived my life. I spent more time socializing online, discovered IRC and made a few great friends and plenty of acquaintances, and so much more. It's hard to describe, really. But within that year EoFF became my online home, the point from which I branch out from.

It was probably my favorite year because things still felt fresh. Topics were new, enthusiasm was high, and I had oldbies and staff people to look up to. Now most of those people are gone, I'm familiar with most topics and trends and the workings of the fora, so it's a lot different.

EoFF was definitely a great way for me to distract myself from the general that was Junior year of high school.
