    Or maybe you just started going soft, like the big teddy bear you are.

    Your love for bass hasn't changed, though.

    If only he'd grow to love trout.

    I probably liked it most in 2001 and 2002, but that's because EoFF was new to me and I had a fair amount of time to spend on here. Now, I don't have that luxury so I miss out on a lot. But it's still good... just different.

    I think I enjoyed it the most for the first year I was here. But after that I made more friends, whereas before I didn't really know many people who didn't regularly visit #eoff. I imagine most people will think that the first year or two years or what have you was the best time, because everything was fresh, and new, and we like to cling tightly to fond and overexaggerated memories of a lovely past.

    There are tangible reasons why I consider the beginning to be the golden age of EoFF. People like Dan Walkie and Nino Brown who don't come around anymore, for example. The fact that it was a closely knit community and anybody could say anything without being attacked for it was a major bonus too. In today's EoFF, you can't say you like cheese without somebody crawling up your gonch about it. Back then, there was no need to lock EoEO so that inappropriate elements couldn't access it -- there were no inappropriate elements.

    Well, I was just speaking in general. I'm sure most people would enjoy such a close-knit community. I know I would prefer it. But I think that anybody would find particular people to latch onto depending on when they joined, and always remember them as the best. You have people you love from back then, whereas if someone joined how they might feel a special affinity for Psy or Christmas or whoever is popular now.

    despite posting some stupid things, i really liked it when i joined although it was much different back then. there were some members that i dont see so much of anymore (they could have changed their names though.)

    when the survivor games were going, well, it was good at first but as they dragged on it just got boring.

    but back then we didn't have christmas or goldenoboco or some of the other members. and some good memebrs have been banned but there are so many good times so this site is, in general, awesome.

    I don't know, I think it's fine as it is now. Back when it was shiny and new it was fun. I liked Acmlm's hacks for the board.

    I think it's pretty easy to find a board like EoFF used to be though. What's hard to find is a board like EoFF is now, so that's good about it.

    Same. I like all the years, though I have a soft spot in my heart for 2003-2004.

    You should get that sorted out. It could be a hole or something and you could DIE!
