    That may be the most embarrassing thing anyone has ever confessed to on EoFF.
    He was gloomy and mysterious! I couldn't help myself! I blame video games.
    Did he happen to sexz0rz you as a newbie?
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I couldn't keep track of all the sex0r-assailants and cookie givers from a time long ago. Also, ( just to keep this all circular back around to distract everyone from my embarrassing admittance ) - BoB scared me when I first started. His scary giant-eyed signature made me feel awkward time to time.

    Having been here most of EoFF's life that was pretty interesting to read

    also I should have been interviewed for my awesomeness of course. Or I could have talked about the devastating impact eoff has had on my life!

    Hey! Now that's not fair. I've already (somehow) missed this site by a good 16 years. Had it not been for Kotaku, I would have never found you all! Finally! A place that's all about Final Fantasy!

    Eeeeeeew!

    I'd never heard of that website, but sweet. Thanks for clearing up what the name of the other brother was, too.

    I want to thank everyone who I talked to for the story, including Leeza, who I had a nice phone conversation with, and new member LocoColt, who gave me some great insight about The Final Fantasy. I didn't end up having a place for any material I got from either of them.

    And there are probably a hundred people out there who would've had something great to say about the site, so I hope you don't feel overlooked. I know there are a lot of fond memories of this place that would still make for great stories. Similarly, those of you who are still around should feel happy that EoFF is to you now what it was for a lot of people a decade ago, which was what I focused on. That's something that Sean said to me while we were talking, and it's totally true--that sense of community is still here if you're looking for it.

Very well done.
    I got to tell Sean's story, and in a too-brief way talk about what I think was a very special time for the Internet that has now mostly disappeared. But there are a lot of other stories out there. Thousands! If you Skyped with and went around videotaping interviews with every member who had a story to tell, well, that could make for a pretty awesome documentary.

    I'd watch it.

    If someone would have told me that all these years later I would have read such a lengthy and thorough article while taking a dump on my smart phone, I would have said, "That sounds like neat technology. Can't wait until it comes out!"

    Seriously, well done Azar. Very cool article.

    Though my life has kept me quite busy these days, I have continued on as a lurker here, and check kotaku a few times a week. It was quite shocking to me to see that two of the three sites I frequent (the third being nintendoworldreport, or as it was, planetgamecube) directly connected to each other.

    This community was definitely good to me in my high school and college years!
