Kallor!
I seriously disliked that guy, regularly dropping tidbits about as yet unreleased books.
Git.
And Apt, it's not just the Inn that's quieter. Log onto any busy forum that's been around long enough, I guarantee you there's going to be people harking back to the 'glory days' of '06-08 / 07-09 / 02-04 / whatever.
So, is it down to a general 'taming' / 'maturing' of people online, or simply rose tinted glasses?
Probably a bit of both.

I can't believe I've fucking been here for nigh on 7 years. I consider myself a veteran but that's bordering on Old Guard. Although, I suppose only those who were here under the auspices of the First Anomander are the true Old Guard, yeah?
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Holy shit. I've spent half my life on this forum...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

The thread will hit an event horizon when all our kids start to resurrect our old accounts and realize what immature forces of chaos sired them. I for one have nothing to hide but some of you....

That's what you think. Most of my excesses disappeared in one of the forum moves/wipes along with my original username.
Still, we lost some good stuff too. The thread where we arranged the raids on the yearded one's forum, amongst many others.
As for Gothos - yup. like i mentioned in my 20 questions bit, its quite odd having seen you (and Tiste, and Brood, and a fair few others) go from (occasionally) pissed off teenager to (somewhat) mature adult.
meh. Link was dead :(

Ignore my join date, it's at least a year later than the real date. Which I can't quite remember ...
To put things into perspective, I was still in my 20s when I joined. Just. I'm now about to turn 43.
Shit.

Man, we had some good nights fueled by whiskey and old school hip hop in the Pub. But the chat feature pretty much killed it.
I'm 35, btw. Almost to my prime!
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I'll be sixty-one in October. Does that make me the oldest old codger on the site?
I find it delicious that all the young people on page one of this topic are now 10 years older than they were then.

Have you not seen my references to the more-salt-than-pepper facial and head hair?
Skin-wise however, I do moisturise. There's no need to be silly about it after all ...
And technically, come to think of it I actually am a veteran. Huh.
