how long have all of you been here?

i've been here 8 months as a forum member, but i've been around even longer.

i remember the old layout of the site, that non moving "parchment" menu bar that has now been replaced with silver buttons, and that section that taluntain took out that used to have a bunch of short stories and legends about various fantasy characters. the days when we only dreamed of being on the top ten D&D sites, the days when there were only 194 members, and taluntain had up a picture of himself, instead of that powerful blond-haired man who now graces the site's main page, the days when agron, holligan and i declared the suckiness of imoen and garrick, and when wingfoot and i had first become friends, ah those were great times, great times...

 

about three weeks - therefore I shouldn't really be annoying you all my posts. and am too new to understand half the stuff you veterans go on about.
I joined while desperately looking for help with why Edwin couldn't translate the Nether Scroll.

been coming since mid July of 2000. yep back then when Egg used all those question marks and exclamation points. wow Egg you've mellowed quite a bit. i barely remember the old site layout though. i think Taluntain changed about a week after i started comin around.

 

I have a vage memory of the old site. But as Tal has said things have come a long way. I starting coming by to read up on IWD back in May of 2000. Even before Tal added these boards. In all I have to say it's a great site. Every time a start looking for some CRPG related I use to go all over the place to find it, but now it's all right here.

And yes I agree Egg has chilled out a lot.

 

I never saw the old site. I came in October. But i was here in September looking up BG I ...trying to get all the hints possible (that ankeg armor in the ground at Nashkal) and low and behold, i stumble on the forums! Aye, it is good to look back and look at how its changed...

 

i registerd about two weeks before sniper, i came her trying to find out hints for plansecape torment and i dowloaded everything that there was on it, i just scrolled down the page clicking on everything, ahhh those were the days.
i think we've all came a long way, you can even see the change in some peoples maturity by looking at their first few posts and their posts now.
lots fun!

 

July 2000

I remember pissing everybody off by putting up Liverpool results in every post

AND me and Fat Egg and Argon were the wickid Garrick?immoen busters! no -one could dstop us!

Ahh, the long arguements between me and Gunthar about Xan, the proverbial Ass -whooping received by Wizardry_IV at the hands of everyone, the long nights spent discussing 'Bards' - (My first post! Does anyone remember that! Whoo!)

 

I DO! oh and, *mutters under breath: imoen sucks ass*

 

Can't even remember when that was..... Oh wait it was in August. I stopped posting about three months ago, when I stopped playing BG2. Then I Looked up at my good old friend sitting there like it was just yesterday that we were hacking our way through Faerun. So I reinstalled and remembered my old friends here and came to say hello and I relised how much I missed.
Not that you guys even noticed I was gone.

Silver Dragon, I noticed! How can a community not noticed when such a mangificent creature disappears from its midst?

Nice to see you back!

 

Ah! The old days of Khalid bashing and Imoen busting.

Yes, I jumped for joy when I found that Khalid was dead in BG2. Gosh, I remember when Sniper registered! I also remember when the BG2 forum was added. I was looking desperately for help in BG and lo and behold!

*sniffle* I'm glad I have you guys!

 

I just looked over the BG forum to remind me of days gone by, and I was shocked to recognize people that no longer come here:

Neo
Ice Weasel
Mr. Do'Urdon

Where'd they go?

 

Hmm... My guess would be... They finished the Game and got on with their lives. Any takers?

 

Life beyond BG? What heresy is this? (looks out of window) The world... it is...NOT... made out of pixels...I do not see any elves or dwarves...(looks at reference books)Faerun is not in the atlas...The periodic table shows 88 elements too many...gasp...

 

So what are you saying about us, Darien?

 

I remember when the you had to post messages here on paper, and they were tacked to Tal's wall in his room...Then he would relay them to everyone else...

Okay...I never thought so before, but I think I've been around a while....

 

OK what's this moving on in life bit Some of us still love the games and more will always be coming out. I'm glad we have moved on from topics like "first post on this board" and the like that started the whole boards of magic thing. Those who have left will be remember but they are just missing out on all the new stuff coming up. I sure when TOB, NWN and other new games hit the shelves we will find more things to fight about (always in a civilized way).

 

I've still got some vague recollections of the first version of this site, and I guess I was with the first load who registered at these boards. But been away for long periods since the begin, which probably explains my low amount of posts

Buttkicking for goodness, that'll change!!

Ah yes, hooligan, my fellow Liverpool-fan! What d'ya think, 1-2 in Nou Camp and 3-0 at Anfield Road ?

 

Oh yes, almost forgot..

Bel.. LOL!!
