and pip isn't~
Recent reason why this place doesn't suck:
-April 1st 2005- April Fools Day (SPOILER)(The aftermath WAS funnier IMO)
-April 2005- EoFF UK Meet-Up I
-July 2005- EoFF Uk Meet-Up II
-April 2006- EoFF UK Meet-Up III

Seriously, don't do the member joining thing. That'll take too much time and drive you up the wall. Try to stick to huge events in EoFF history. Like Meet-Ups or the really smurfin' Board action.
Like that time when Rainecloud was trout-slapped by every member here. That was GOOD.
"I think you'd make any (nice) woman happy... & I think you really deserve for someone to make you happy too for a change"
Reading this thread makes me sad!
EoFF has changed, but like Levian said, it's not like everything changed for the worse because that's how everyone's making it sound! >:

Y SO SRS ?
I don't get why people are saying crash's banning was a legendary event - from what I can remember, nobody seemed to care.
In other words, I didn't.
there was a picture here
If crash is an EoFF legend then everyone here is an EoFF legend.
Yeah, and PiPs just a phase people went through.Originally Posted by Old Manus
Although when crasheNUMBERS came into #eoff the one day I was opped xD So I kicked his bum lotsMaybe not a good day for others but it made me feel good
Trust No one
There are extremely few bannings at EoFF that I would ever really call significant. People get banned all the time. I would say the most significant bannings were probably The Model Citizen and Linus. But even then, they hardly made an impact on the board when they happened. No ban ever has. People get fussed for a short time and that's about it.
That post by Unne that Kishi quoted was pretty amusing.
I don't think this thread is about change, it's just about what happened. If you're going to put 'ages' in there, it should only be about truly major changes to how EoFF is - not on a social scale but on more factual things. I would go with ezBoard, UBB, vB2 and vB3. If not that, then ezBoard, UBB, Forums-Only (pre-Site Staff), Site Revival (from the time Site Staff came about to the time that EoFF changed it's style) and then finally Revamp (from the time that Rinoabella's style, EoFF 2005, was first set up on the frontsite to present day). In fact the latter 'ages' sound good.
As for major events...
-Forums Creation
-First New Admin
-First Banned Member (not because the member was significant so much as because it was the first time it ever happened)
-Frontsite Creation
-Chatroom Creation
-Major Forum Upgrades (ezBoard, UBB, vB2, vB3, vB3.5)
-Chatroom Server Changes (changing between irc.eyesonff.net, BeyondIRC, FFChat, and irc.eyesonff.com)
-That time when Phoenix hosted us
-Site Staff creation
-Moving away from free hosting
-The ranks thing
The addition of...
The title of 'Cid's Knights' (if it wasn't there on day one).
Custom Titles for 8-month-members.
Custom Avatars for everyone.
Usernotes
Arcade (and the later removal)
The new FanArt section
Various forums (and their removals, in some cases)
Recognized Members
I can't believe Raistlin didn't know about the ranks thing. That also means he doesn't know why I use this avatar or why I call myself the Eternal Newbie. Master of Past and Present, my arse!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It got a helluva alot better after I joined... ADMIT IT!
This thread makes me laugh a whole lot.
Signature by rubah. I think.
:chuckle:Get a room.
I know!
Going down Daniel's list for the older stuff:
The Cid's Knights title came a few weeks after the EzBoard started up. We were all regular forum mods before then and then we got the title and all became supermods.
The first banned member that I remember is Tonberry, who afterwards threatened to sue Sean if he wasn't unbanned. Of course, that could just be because he was highly amusing (he also called Umy a "fat version of Fred Savage"). Definitely the first significant banned member, anyway.
The EzBoard had custom avatars for everyone. That changed somewhere around the first vB, I guess, when I was hardly ever around.
The first new admin was Quigoni way back in the EzBoard (I used to think it was Unnsey, but he assures me that Quigoni came first). She lasted a month or so. Then Unne was "temp-adminned" for a week (aka "year").
I actually know when Recognized Members started, 'cause I still have the PM somewhere.February 21, 2002. Or at least, that's when the staff sent the congratulatory PMs out.
The fronsite happened sometime in the spring of '00 (maybe late winter). I don't remember the exact date. Sean might remember.
Was I the only one to laugh at this?
Anyway! I can't really help here. I've only been here for a year!
I could help from October 2005 to the present.
When Psy was made a Cid's Knight, EoFF had become the paragon of internet forums.
Oh, I think this forum went drastically downhill when Final Fantasy was introduced to it.
Also, adding in the meet-ups would probably also help substantially.
