Thread: The Year Was 1999...

  1. #1

    Default The Year Was 1999...

    The summer of '99, to be specific.

    Anyone hang around at FFO, Eyes on Final Fantasy, or the FF-related ezboards during that period?

    It's fun to connect with your past every now and again.

    I can name a couple of people who would have been around back then who are still active here. I am not one of them, but the topic comes up frequently enough for me to be aware of it So yeah. No guarantee they'll see this thread, but if you were there, you're not alone here

    This is the only FF community I ever been apart of, but I arrived sort of early for it in 2001. I knew about it before hand for about a year before my join date since I have a friend who was posting before that (edczxcvbnm). He sent me emails of conversations he had been having about the then new Chrono Cross and it got me interested.

    I believe in the summers of 99', I was convinced that the world was going to end, due to all the media coverage of the Notradamus prediction back then. I spent my summer in abject fear. P,us, I didn't have a PC until December 99, so I couldn't chillax with you guys too provide sanctuary for my crazy thoughts.

    Thought I'd share that with you.

    Incidentally, I joined FFOnline back in 2000, under the screen name 'PresidentShinra', violating the forum policy of having to be over 13 years old. I miss the old FFO days, but they just ran out of steam to update the site post Final Fantasy IX.

    I joined a forum called Final Fantasy Addicts in 2002 or so. I had been on forums and message boards before that, but FFA was the first Final Fantasy related one I joined. I posted there quite a bit for a good year or two.

    I didn't join EoFF until 2005. That makes me kind of a latecomer compared to a lot of the interwebs veterans 'round these parts.

    I joined EoFF sometimes a year later than you did JadenX, back in 2000, around the same time Shlup also joined.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I remember coming around here before 2001, but I wasn't particularly active. I think there was some great purge or something, because I remember having to sign back up in '01.

    Then I continued to be mostly inactive.

    There were a couple of purges. I remember having to sign up a second time in 2003, and then a third time in 2004.

    Neat to see you folks! I wasn't a main cast member at FFO or EoFF, just a recurring guest star. My domain was much more the smaller Ezboards. But I definitely remember posting on EoFF for several months when it had the dark blue colour scheme. I think, in overly dramatic youthfulness, I left in a huff.

    The names Agent Proto, Calliope, Raistlin, Dr Unne, and of course you, BoB, ring a bell.

    From my crosspost at Final Fantasy Society, some other folks I knew or at least remember reading:

    Tiara
    Emerald Aeris
    Timelord
    Princess Usa (not U.S.A.) and her brother... I want to say Tera something... Teraphor? It wasn't Terrapin.
    Edge (He did something with the capitalization... eDgE? EdGe?)
    Kain
    clOuD
    Arvynia
    Pixie
    Rinoa (There were many of them of course... but she a member of our goup. I forget other names she used.)
    Never Is A Promise
    Lilly Rinoa Landois
    Britt (Short for Britton :P)
    Magic
    Some guy who lived in the California desert and called programs "frogs" and called testers "froggers".
