So many people I don't/kindof recognize.
I'm scared
Someone hold me.

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Just spoke to him, here's what he says:
I asked him about the Happypeepeehead nick: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).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
And then there is Death
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.
I remember you guys basically dragging me in there because it was the only effective way to keep in touch with some of you at the time.
EDIT: Also, tell HPPH to register, Raf.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Holy cheesecake, this thread is nostalgia galore! Great stuff.
I haven't posted much here in the past couple of years - especially in the last year. I've been really busy with university studying English, and now Art and Visual Culture. Just did my BA in Literature about Gothic Postcolonialism and Otherness this winter
I saw Neel online earlier but he hasn't posted Now he was one suave guy.
make rubahlapah post regularly pls
and i guess kishi too
So I read all 100 million posts here. I'm a bit disappointed the OP hasn't been discussed more:It might not be the right place, but smurf it I'm doing this.Originally Posted by Cid
Unfortunately, most of these posts could be summed up in 140 characters or less, and I don't feel like I'm missing much. Those few that aren't (thanks Azar, sorry we haven't met up again, what the hell I can't even tag him?) are from people I have met in person or like BatChao, people I wish I had met in person, and frankly, I enjoy that mode of socialization a lot more. (It's healthier too!)
I spend enough time looking at a screen at work, and I don't use computers at home (only a phone, which is bad enough really). Having a better mobile forum interface would probably entice me to post more, because there is probably less garbage to sift through here than on my facebook or twitter feed. But that's a lot of "probably" to change now-ingrained habits.
So I am currently in Berkeley, CA; I'll be here for at least two more years. Married, MSEE, self-employed. I visit the LA area relatively frequently. I've met Kishi and Allie and Jeremy and Lamonda. And John Meneses! I don't even remember their usernames, except Kishi obviously, whose name I will not reveal. Funny story, that one.
I've met so many more people traveling through the States and in New Zealand (I still have a photo with Kelly and Evan and Nicky. And Big D! He is BIG in person.) I talk to Lynx and Clarissa and Marick regularly on Facebook. If you're around, find me on the Internet (Google "neelfirst") and let's meet up for your beverage of choice. On me.
To those of my friends much further away - I sincerely apologize for not being in touch. It makes me sad that we cannot easily meet in person. Again my Internet handle these days is "neelfirst" - let's stay in touch on more modern platforms. If you are visiting the SF Bay Area, let's meet up. If you need a place to stay, my home is open to you. Except Roogle. I don't trust that guy.
Finally, I'm glad to hear EoFF has turned around. I was allotting part of my savings fund to buying out the site should it have tanked. Despite not giving a trout about Square Enix anymore, I think the front site has markedly improved, your corporate relations are nice and cozy - overall it makes me happy to know this place will be around.
It's been nice to see familiar usernames with words next to them. (I wish most of you had written more! It's not so hard...) But what I have enjoyed most about this thread is experiencing once again the great Daniel Towns and his relentless energy and love of people. It takes a great person to pull together so many from across the world, even for something so simple as this. I am truly happy a person like you exists. God bless you, sir.
Warmly,
Neel
