My favorite memory involves a certain poster getting back-to-back-to-back bans over a two week period. It makes me giggle just thinking about it now. Yes, I know that makes me a bastard. I'm their king. grin

Before that, I really enjoyed the World of Warcraft boards and the contests they held like to give you a title for example. There was a time people were pretty civil on that board, but it turned into complete crap two years or so ago when the trolls made it rather unbearable.

Good times.

I remember staying up all night posting on the FF board with one of my friends about mashed potatoes. Nothing but our love for mashed potatoes....along with Fighter (back when he was a mod). At the end of the night, he deleted the thread so we wouldn't get in trouble! lol It was silly and one hell of a spam thread.

Most of all, though....Yuki. No one thing in particular, just a great friendship.

The Poop riot of DAOC lancelot that caused Amodin to have an emotional break down and backlash at us, thus causing even more backlash on him forcing him to change his name to Greybow. Acery you took part in it hehe.

The year and change I spent running the EVE Vault and how awesome my staff there was.

Yeah I sort of spear headed that.

Was that the $$$$ BREAK thing or whatever it was? I used it over on the vesti, they thought they were getting hacked so they started a riot, which spilled over here.

I got banned for a month here and perma banned on IGN for it.
















Someone took pity on me and lifted the IGN ban, though.

I just used to like the traffic. In the early 2000s, I remember a half hour would go by and a thread would be off the front page. It was a truly OT board with politics, sex, alcohol/drugs... everything. It was nice. Now everyone has gotten shallow and the few remaining people are just characters, or shells of their former selves (except Aon and DE, they rule). No real substance left.

Sad. =/

everything. the good and the bad combined made my life richer. Back in the day i would waste 4-5 hours just reading and posting on this board and lancelot(my homeboard before this) and i still come back and check ACF out every single day to see any interesting threads. Thats a testament to how good this board was.

Vestipocolypse ( http://[space] thingie) for sure...on this board anyway. It was awesome. I have a screen shot somewhere that Overslept sent me where....well, I can't post what they changed my post to say but it is hilarious. I laughed so hard that night I almost peed my pants. Getting the Vesti to invade that Hermione Grangier fan board was so funny....sheesh, what a great night. Well worth the ban stick.

The first time my ex-wife ever posted on the Outpost was a hoot. It's the oldest thread still archived over on the Outpost. We had a blast with that one.

DEMF and Squick.

The old yahoo chats and AOL IM chats circa 2003 were great. Lots of T&A and some very funny stuff. It's almost sad how much fun this place has been at times. tongue

I enjoyed the early days when everything was new and fun and every single person on the internet wasn't an expert in everything. Hanging out in ACF IRC - the Shauna_Eyebright one. People like Rose (not Rosethorn) and Mothra, Bojay, dugfromthearth, Shi and Bryn, Riko, Annamika, Cletus, Waynebo, Fighter, well, too many to name really, but it was a pretty good time.

Best memories: The days when the AC boards were very active, back before the first merge. The riot when the first merge screwed many of us out of our histories and required us to change names (or tack on stuff like _HG) to keep posting. The days when Jonric posted well thought out pieces about gaming.

You are not my pal.

Consider me as a chemistry experiment if you will, that is if you have ever done any chem classes.

Titration, that is what happened, one too many drops and I have made the transition, and am now fully immersed in the cesspool shoving excrement back into the mouths of those who for so often have done their best to bring me down personally.

My only regret is the collateral damage of when I offend good people.

I have no opinnion of you personally.

But I no longer wish to have any friends here either.

Hyper the hippie is dead, I created him for ACF based on my life experiences from over 25 years ago, and instead you now have hyper the horrible, an ass created in response to those individuale who have personally insulted me hundreds of times.

Careful on shaking hands with me, as they are proably loaded with excrement.

I am not a full time poster here, but I did love the ability to ask anything here. One night I was working on a job that HAD to ship out and we couldn't find the correct spelling of some french word. Google was no help so I asked here and got the answer I was looking for.

I basically used ACF as my knowledge base. (Eventually you would get your answer)

Also I like how I can read ACF first when I get up and know if something newsworthy happened without having to start on CNN.

It was. The drama between her and the five other boys she hooked up with was fun as well, but nothing IMO will beat hearing how she effed a bic pen on webcam for a friend of mine. The Solclaim board drama pretty much died once they finally perma'ed her and her fifteen alts. She moved to IGN with Gohan and became a different person. She still talks to a few people around here from what I've heard. Classic instinct for board drama, she had.

My best memories.

The original Stupefied "good morning" threads.
Threads discussing any of my real life - marrying fraxcat, when my boys were born.
Watching n00berness completely own the board trolls, then make another name and do it again.
Forming the Solclaim housing authority and laughing over the guy running the villa macros.
Drama, in all forms. Macros, politics, anything that brought out the rage in people.

AC Related:

The Morningthaw PK Wars written by Jalam were awesome. And the MT PK Council which governed PK rules on the server and had a lot of fun board drama associated with it. http://vnboards.ign.com/morningthaw/b5156/110302381/p1/


Board Related:

Nothing specific, the random drama over the years before a lot of ppl became political whores was pretty entertaining.

omg i used to troll the profanity out of vixen fire. not even just on acf either. she'd get super mad at me in the yahoo chats like crazy. that profanity was hilarious. and everyone trolled me by saying i sounded just like tessa. sad so mean. sad also, lyli used to flood me with pictures of her tits. like a new one every day or every time she changed her piercings.

i think i miss rotnn the most though. god he was so funny. esp when drunk and on his webcam. ooh and grumble! and the whole crapwars galaxies board before ginger showed up. actually it was pretty funny while she was there and i pretended she didn't exist and it drove her up the fking wall. plus the whole myspace thing i did. christ i was creative back then. sooz you're really lucky i don't care enough to stalk you elsewhere to that level. i would make your life so hell if i did. find and ask ginger. laugh i can't even remember what that myspace account was named but her tits are still up there.

I am not a full time poster here, but I did love the ability to ask anything here. One night I was working on a job that HAD to ship out and we couldn't find the correct spelling of some french word. Google was no help so I asked here and got the answer I was looking for.

I basically used ACF as my knowledge base. (Eventually you would get your answer)

Also I like how I can read ACF first when I get up and know if something newsworthy happened without having to start on CNN.




This for me. If something happened ACF knew immediately, but I didn't have to wade through piles and piles of other crap like on bigger news aggregation sites. And yes when Google would occasionally fail me, ACF never did - no matter what the topic.

-Trade posts.
-HG Flame wars.
-The time my brother and I 'embarrassed' Persy by jumping another guild's Bobo run and it spilled out onto the VN for like 5 pages of drama. I think he got banned over it too...
-ACVault staff, doing write ups, and then actually having people IG message me or tell me they used my writeups
-VGVault, doing a 'fake' newsletter on April Fools and I got an email from the TenTon Hammer site admin that he thought it was real and I did an epic job. LOLZ
-When I was in the experimental 'VN promotional staff'...it was me and Beib I think...
-Being Modded, seeing everyones notes, playing in the Lounge, harassing Beib constantly
-Rift and War Vaults, doing nothing, but still getting to act important
-War General in it's prime (like a week...le sigh) where I spent 6+ hours a day modding. Number of bans and angry emails...OH those were the days...
-Modded to ACF, the hate posts from everyone when they saw my dot up there and the riot posts. Most excellent.



Been a wild ride over a lot of years.

FF flame wars when the mods would jump right in and flame too. FF back when Southern hung around there.

Also, like Ferry said, getting all the news here on ACF first - when 911 happened, I saw it here first then turned the TV on to see the second plane crash.

Yeah I sort of spear headed that.

I got banned for a month here and perma banned on IGN for it.

















Someone took pity on me and lifted the IGN ban, though.

Hi Sliver! I'm doing ok, but I popped a tendon in my bicep yesterday. Star is still sick and battling towards a recovery someday. We got a new bull dog puppy a couple of weeks ago to go with our mastiffs. I sold my Harley, and after 20 years of of riding fuel to noise converters, I listened to Hyper and got a Ducati.

How are you?

Sorry this is just hard for me to admit..
Last night I was STOLEN FROM!! /e breaks down in tears...

Yes Last night my level 20 axer was going to pick up some very nice AL 150 Amuli off a mule. My patron Long Dong and one of his other Vassals were at our mule spot.. I dropped the amuli as it was only us around.. when I logged on with poor little Suavecito... Zarp had picked up and stolen my Amuli suit.

Zarp's Patron is Zang Si
Zarp's Monarch is Lews-Therin


I would post the screen shots for anyone that wants to see them, however my ISP isn't letting me post them for some reason.
So if someone wants to post them for me.. I'll email them to ya.

Thread turned EPIC after this reply:

Date Posted: 9/6/01 8:29am Subject: RE: Last Night.... I was... *sniff*

I'm sorry you'll have to excuse my laughing.

Zarp is a 5 year old. That can't read (alot) yet. He is my son. I'm sure he didn't mean to steal your coat he was probly running around in Tou Tou like he always does and just grabed it.

Let me know exactly what it was and If I can't find it I'll give you a better one.

Sorry bout that happy

In all honesty, I rarely remember anything from this place. The moment I log off, my internal memory dumps.

I remember having generally fun conversations, boring conversations, a feeling of community at times, and tidbits here and there...

But hell, even some of the people don't stick with me. I've had 3 friend requests on Facebook since I was invited to that ACF group, and I am holding off on all of them, because I can't recall if those guys were douchebags or not. :P

And I can't see my post history, because of this goddamn merge. Ahhh well.

Seeing the island post that started off the AC friends boards.

Being part of this board when it started and now seeing how fucked up it is...way to go everyone!!! jk..

Trust me it was fucked up back then also...even more.

Way too much stuff. All the FF crew and the drama that happened there - Sandy Cheeks, Hisba, Big_Wiz, When Zuizide first started his massive XP chain, macro threads, Kellin not giving Ibbeh the goddamn bodice pics, PMing with Lynea, Clint and his modding, Southern, Lowtax, Palum's thread...then ACF and all the political trolling, pictures of boo's dick, some saucy pictures of Brynwen, making people laugh, HIOFI threads, my 80k thread, the chart, various meltdowns...so much more crap I'm forgetting.

I came over here as somewhat of a refugee from the DAoC Lancelot boards. Those boards were pretty much dead many years ago so I nearly quit VN all together. I miss those boards the most because they maintained a community inside and outside the game. A type of community which I think has become rarer and rarer with how most games operate these days. Ultimately, the social aspect is the only good take away from a game. There's too much focus on min and maxing, dps addons, all that fancy crap. I'll take a shitty game with a good community over some streamlined crap any day.

But what I found here was a place full of action, over the top personalities and generally a decent group. I liked posting here. The free-for-all posting adds a lot of variety and let's people bring their own interests to a group of unruly strangers. That's what makes boards like this special, it's like spam with a purpose. So I hope a decent chunk of the people here continue to post on ACF4 or VN refugee or even this new IGN deal. Communities like this are a sign of something good.

peace

Hi Sliver! I'm doing ok, but I popped a tendon in my bicep yesterday. Star is still sick and battling towards a recovery someday. We got a new bull dog puppy a couple of weeks ago to go with our mastiffs. I sold my Harley, and after 20 years of of riding fuel to noise converters, I listened to Hyper and got a Ducati.

How are you?


Wow, I hope you guys are feeling better soon. Good job with the Ducati, it's one of my favorite bikes. Tell Star hi for us and give her a big hug. We're doing great, our little girl is growing like crazy, our jobs are nuts and we're busy as hell! No change... Nice to see you came back for the end of vn happy When they get the new boards started, post pics of the new pup.

Better than Drudge for news. Better than weather.gov for weather. Better than reddit for liberals. Better than foxnews for conservatives. Better than google for advice. Better than 4**** for insult comics. Better than espn for sports.

If there ever was a hub for the internet it was ACF. Quality and ridiculousness at the speed of light. Thank you everyone. I wish you all the best.

Buying that bike for major spamming stone was the first time i had seen an anonymous internet board band together and do a truly selfless act. i will never forget it.

And then everybody here chipped in for $1K for my son's memorial scholarship fund. Also very very awesome.

I will be in Seattle probably twice this summer, and maybe once in fall (late sep early oct)

I sent you a pm with info, let's ride.

I had a lot of bad times here, and a lot of good ones, and I actually still have a racy pic of Brynwen blush

In its own way, this board changed my life. I came here trying desperately to save a bad marriage and in the process met the love of my life, married him (9 years ago last week!) and now we have four amazing children love

Also this was my first ever message board, the first place I was ever a mod of, a real learning experience for me in so many ways.
