Thread: What the...?!

  1. #1

    Default What the...?!

    I am amazed to find, in 2013, a traditional vBulletin forum using the traditional General/Serious/Media/Spam template based around Final Fantasy that hasn't been dead for eight years.

    What's the secret to EoFF's long life?

    (To add amusement, here's that bird what moves his head funny: )

    After reading a few threads (especially this one) I'm starting to see what holds this place together... But I'd still be interested in more direct statements of intent/discontent.

    That bird is the secret actually.

    Hello David O'Leary. We meet again.

    No, it is okay, I know you do not remember me. I will oblige. KujaTrance aka Heath aka Young Thomas's LiveJournal. Yes. Yes indeed.

    Stay, stay forever with me and we will talk about Alan Wright and life growing up in 1990's West Midlands.

    I hope this answers your question.

    The day you take something said by someone with the SN "Psychotic" seriously is the wrong day to take something said by someone with the SN "Psychotic" seriously.

    It survives because of the passionate love the fans have for this series. So there.

    Spooniest has great opinions and you should take them as the truth.

    Your move, sir.

    Anyone can go to any forum and take about games. We have a lot of special people who care about what it means to be a community instead of just a website, and I think that's what has helped us make it through the years, despite the declining interest in Final Fantasy.

    The secret is that we treat each other with kindness and have meaningful debates (like the one about soup) that make everyones lives a little better.

    We're a little like a giant family.

    I totally read that as "meaningful diabetes"

    Dyslexia FTW.

    I just study the games and do a lot of reading about them to pretend like I care. I've never played a game in my life. I'm convicted murderer living in San Quentin prison as a trustee as it has been a living hell to me while hosting me since 1963. Sounds like a pretty screwed up series though.

    EoFF has a little of both of those things.

    Probably because (outside of EoEo), things here are pretty casual, and you can be yourself. You won't find that everyone is your friend, but there's probably someone else around here who can and will relate to you.

    For the most part, mods let people simply talk and chat without hammering them too hard for thread drift and things like that. It helps encourage participation.
