Don't worry, guys, Kishi is still partying up in the staff forum like it's 2000. That guy has some mad moves.

I don't believe you. The only way to solve this problem is to make me staff. Good boy.
That's a really good point, and I don't know why I didn't think of it, either. I mean, when I joined, most of you vets were grown up already, but I was a Junior in high school and just starting to use the Internet for more than research. It's only been two years, but I've changed quite a bit since then. I've certainly matured quite a bit, though with that has come an increasingly cynical outlook on life.Originally Posted by Chemical
You can never go back again, but then, maybe that's a good thing. It's so much easier to remember that fresh, exhilarating feeling of being a part of something than experiencing it while also living through all the crap that comes with being in high school.
That's a good point that I didn't think of. "Back in the day", message boards were the best way to interact with other denizens of the net in a way more permanent than chat. But with sites like LiveJournal and MySpace being so customizable these days, it seems that message boards have taken on a different role as some of the features of a message board are better used and improved upon by sites like LiveJournal and MySpace.
I guess it's just part of the natural evolution of the internet.
In the very beginning we got lucky and a dozen or so really nice people were all that were around, and somehow we all managed to trust each other and have fun and learn from each other in spite of how screwy we all were (or still are).
But some of the people I automatically associate with this MB weren't around in the very beginning. Most people here today probably wouldn't recognize that old place as EoFF at all. I don't know if I'd call it any kind of "golden age". It was just different. I have no problem with how things are here today.
I'm going to jump the bandwagon and say I loved this place best when I first joined XP;
This place used to be good?
EoFF has always been the same EoFF. Times have changed when the members get older, and new members come to take their place and new content is being added by the new members. EoFF is how you make it to be. Anyway, the best time would be 2002-2003 for me. Right now is also good, but I'm just not getting the best out of my buck because I'm not being active or whatnot. :P
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Bull. Quitting staff didn't fix anything for me.Have to say, although I'm not "watching my back", I'm definitely much more serious - this is completely to do with me being on staff, I think.
I think everyone has their own 'golden age' or whatever. About one year ago was when the sight was at it's utmost height for me. All of my favorite members were still here and posted regularily, the spam was fun and I was slightly more well liked than I am now. The place is a bit stagnant now, I think. At least for me it is. It's someone elses time now, I think.
I actually rather enjoyed this year on the forums. People actually know me now. About a year ago it was, 'Slade who?' :rolleyes2
Slade who?
If you look above your post Christmas you shall witness all that is slade.
I got less spammy. You spammed even while you were on staff. My being serious isn't down to being jaded or angry at staff decisions, it's just about not wanting to be too spammy because I freak out that I might end up looking like the biggest hypocrite here. Anyone who knows me before I was a staff knows I have a secret desire to spam this place to hell and back. As people in the staff forum might know from my lovely old 99 bottles of beer thread, for a mere example.Bull. Quitting staff didn't fix anything for me.Have to say, although I'm not "watching my back", I'm definitely much more serious - this is completely to do with me being on staff, I think.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
