Out of curiosity I looked all the way back on the first page of General Chat to see what was talked about back then. A topic brought up in one of the threads was "Where do you see EoFF a decade from now?". It's been (almost, in a few months) 10 years since that thread. I saw a lot of people who's names I don't even recognize saying "oh yeah i'll still be here". Here's some predictions from people who are still around:
It's interesting to see the wide variety of predictions. Some of us haven't been here for 10 years, so what I'd like to know is this:
How do you think the site has progressed since you started posting? What changes have been made that you like? What is something that's long gone that you miss? Really anything along those lines. If you're a new member, maybe you can talk about all the things you saw or found here that you weren't expecting to see when you joined.
One thing I really like about my own progression from then to now is maturity. I just want to face palm every time I look back on a lot of posts from 14 year old me.
I miss the wiki. You can still find it but I remember back when it was an active thing people were going to so they could leave little notes for/about people. Again, here is a classic example of people posting when they're young:

I liked user notes as well. We have visitor messages now, obviously. Maybe it's just the nostalgia of going back and reading some of the old ones.
I also liked the EoFF shop. As a young teenager I never had the money to buy anything, but I liked the concept.
