How Did you Discover WB?

[HackingVictim]

Well, I was looking for a new starcraft editer and someone told me to look at www.starcraft.org (http://www.starcraft.org). it said do you want to join up for WB too?. so I clicked the link and started posting.........


How did you Discover WB?

[ZeroDarkStar]

Long story.....

About 1 year back, I was cruisin' google, searching for a new starcraft website, and stumbled upon StarCraft.org. After hanging out there for awhile, I joined BlizzForums. You've most likely heard of the whole BF ordeal, so I'll spare you the long part. I can't really tell you the next part, because, well, I just can't. But soon after the split I was informed that WB was up, and I registered, and been postin' ever since. :)

[Cygnus]

Came here with the initial group from BF.

[Icemant90]

Found Starcraft.org while looking for a God map and found this place in a link.

[GrassDragon]

I got the link to here the day after it went up from WarCraft.org.

[TranquilNightElf]

Went to warcraft.org and its mini forums for a long time till the site had to have a Revamp..(*Cough*still waiting for that*Cough*... :) ) And then they had new WB forum up and here I am :) ..member number 55 i think

[Whiteknight]

A while ago, October 17, 2003 to be exact, I was searching for something about starcraft, I think I might have been searching for a map editor. I stumbled across www.starcraft.org and somehow clicked on a link to the forums. I think I saw the SC2 area and was intrigued, so I signed up. I basically never ventured out of that area for a while, at least a month. After a while, I went to the RP area because I remembered when I had done it at GW (not a great forum, stay away!). That is where I rediscovered my love for RPs and writing, and I stayed there for a while, but going to SC2 area too. That is when I met the people I know online, like BH, Geno, etc.

For a few months, I wasn't able to go on the BF site. When I got back, early April, I think, I saw that the RP forum was pretty much dead and that the people I had known where not there. After about a week, I saw a thread that said that BF had split or something. They included a link to here, but it was www.********.org type thing. I got the idea of searching for posts made by BH, and I found a post that led me here. So I suppose I have BH to thank for giving me a link that wasn't starred out.

[Revolt]

The link off Blizzard's site.

[Valjean]

I was searching for stuff on SC2 about a year ago and in the search results I found Blizzforums SC2 forum. I then tricked my mom into letting me sign up (:tu: ) and was posting there and stuff and was happy. :)

Then the split happened. I found my way over here eventualy and well...been posting here ever since. :)

Still post at Blizzforums though. ^_^

[Battlecruiser]

Well I found starcraft.org on google aorund the month of september of 2003. I then visited them regularly for 2 weeks and then I found sclegacy.com. I never joined blizzforums though. I then went to sclegacy much more then starcraft.org (sorry Bstrhino) because they always had news and strategies. The only reason I went to starcraft.org was to read the stories if I was bored. Then around 1 day after warboards was created I just luckily happened to go to starcraft.org and on the news it said join our forums, warboards, or something like that. This was going to be the first forum I ever went to and I didn't know what it would be like. Now I think it is one of the best things on the internet.


Hey werewolf, guess what.



I have more posts than you. Ha Ha.

[Fenguin]

A crazy person from a neighboring high school told me. ;)

[Nuts]

I was searching google for information on opium distributors, and WB was the top search result. Go figure.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wait let me try that out.

[blkmage]

I usually hang around Infoceptor, and one day, one of the admins or mods posted a link to WB there, and I decided to check it out.

[BSTRhino]

Heh, it's good to see that advertising campaign I did is working. If you don't know what I'm talking about, sign-up to StarCraft.org and see what it says...

[Graeme]

Came here with the initial group from BF.

Ditto that! ^_^

[Demon_Child]

My story is basically similar to that of the majority of the people who have been registered back in February. However, I am probably among the oldest members in both age (27) and time I have spent in the Blizzard gaming community (over 3 years) so I have been around the block for a while. :)

As of right now I am trying to fix all the bugs in my comp so that I can finally return to full active duty in both the forum and the B.Net scenes. And for those who have been keeping up with the "Demon Knight" Stories that are found in the "Creative Concepts" forum then I hope to get back to finishing the first part of a 5 part story as soon as I can and then begin with the 2nd part soon afterwards. I haven't forgotten about you. ;)

[WeekendLazyness]

I heard about it from someone in comp sci class.

[Nuts]

You're just waiting for me to die so you can claim the official record. ;)

[ZeroDarkStar]

Yeah, you're getting old, Nuts. Might happen any day now. :)

[Demon_Child]

You're just waiting for me to die so you can claim the official record. ;)


You can have the "Forum Fossil" title, Nuts, because I am not going to fight for it. :p

I would just like to be the first regular poster for the WB community who has spent the longest time in the Blizzard community. Achelus (RedCloak) technically holds that title. :\

[Whiteknight]

Yeah, 35ish is the end of everyone's lifespam, eh?

[Nuts]

I know some people, who know some people, who have family that might be able to assist you with that problem, if you know what I mean. lol

[Demon_Child]

No thanks. That won't be necessary. Because you would also have to put dunchy and a few other SC.org admins on ice as well and I wouldn't want that to happen. ;)

[HackingVictim]

Well, I waited 3 hours for some body to post here...and I got off to help my mom with her garden....and I come back and WOW 23 posts........

[Nuts]

Correction... 25 posts....... oops 26.

[Whiteknight]

Correction, 27 now, old timer. ;)

[HackingVictim]

Somewere around ..........27

P.S. are you the famos Nuts everybody is talking about?

[Nuts]

I'm famous? Perhaps infamous..... but not famous. Yes, definitely infamous.

;)

[HackingVictim]

You have been metioned at www.garagegames.com alot as some Idot that tried to copy illigaly a game we had been working on and sell it.......... 'cause somebody with your user name was on the GG forums........

[Nuts]

Twasn't me dear boy. If there is yet another "Nuts" then he must be an illegitimate forgery of myself. ;)

I haven't played a PC game in months... sad isn't it.

[HackingVictim]

good.....We spent a year making that game and some body treid to sell it......

good thing you told me it wasn't you 'cause I would call GG to ban your IP adress

[Nuts]

good.....We spent a year making that game and some body treid to sell it......

good thing you told me it wasn't you 'cause I would call GG to ban your IP adress

Hehe, if it were me, how would you get my ip address? ;)

[HackingVictim]

Everybody who logs on to GG gets a cookie..... All I have to do is as a MOD what is Nuts IP AS.


P.S. arn't MODERATERS suposed to be invisible.....Why do I see like 3 mod. in here..... its like they think im up to some thing.....
>_>
<_<

[Nuts]

Ok, I was confused how my posting here would allow you to obtain my IP. Regardless, I'm not him, nor is he me. I have much more important things to do than stealing games. Good luck finding him, I would hate to think that someone is tarnishing my good name. :)

P.S. arn't MODERATERS suposed to be invisible.....Why do I see like 3 mod. in here..... its like they think im up to some thing.....


Don't be so nervous. Maybe they're mad at you for trying to wrongly accuse an ex-moderator of such wrongdoings...... ok, I'm kidding. ;)

[HackingVictim]

THX for clarifacation......... Whew nows theres only one mod.....

[Whiteknight]

<_<
Mods don't have to be invisible, although they do have that ability. I doubt they are invisible most of the time, there isn't really any point to it and some people would wonder if they are on are not. So if there is a problem and someone wants to PM an admin or mod, and it shows that they are not on, they might not.

[Nuts]

So let me understand WN, you're saying that Mods can either be visible or invisble?

I don't understand.

[HackingVictim]

OK just wondering

cya in 5 min I have to go help my mom plant a tomato plant :(

[Ole-The-Murder]

Back to subject, aight? I wasn't there at "The split", so I missed out the ordeal I suppose, right? I was ALSO at StarCraft.org, and I had been on their old forum, that was Blizzforums I think, or something, man I was just there lurking sometimes, and when I come back these days, the forum's gone and it says, uh, "linkin' to WarBoards.org...new forum there...etc.." So The forum had moved, so I decided to begin there again, and then, I was being actively every after..in despite to the ol' SC.org forum, I had somewhat activity firstmost but it died out..slowly...and builded up nowadays, as this continue the legacy. Yeah. That's it. The true story. Or did CC.org, with their lovely SC Campaigns - I'm talking CampaignCreations.org here - linked to this page? Like a WarCraft Board, hm? Well, I'd hit that. And I did - Suppose I'm a newbie in most eyes, though, but still, somewhat no :)

[Demon_Child]

Technically, everyone (including staff members) can use the invisible mode option in their CP. Though the mods and above can still see everyone even if they are invisible. I had been around long enough to remember posting in the Starcraft.org forums back before Blizzforums was created.

Can anyone guess which SC.org member who had this avatar before me? :D SC.org admins are not allowed to answer because they can look through the forum archives at Starcraft.org.

[Whiteknight]

Hmm... Aya? Bad guess, but it looks like her styleish.

And good job explaining DC.

[dunchy]

Aya???? That's a horrid guess :S :S :S

I remember still the old days of Sc.org forums, such old times. Wow was I ever young.

[Demon_Child]

I know you would remember, dunchy, because you have been a part of the sc.org staff for over 3 years now. :p

And, no the user who had this as an avatar was not Aya.:p

Here is another hint. He was the one who trained Lao_tze how to be a really good SC:BW player back in May of 2001.

[Whiteknight]

Well, I have no clue.

One question: Why are you using someone elses avy?

[Demon_Child]

I figured that I would celebrate my 3 years as a part of the SC.org community by changing my avatar to those who have made an impact on the SC.org back when I first joined. This is my way of recognizing and giving credit to the peeps from back in the old days. That's all. :)

[Battlecruiser]

It is one who likes anime because your avatar looks like anime. So it must be either Shinitenshi or Ark Templarius. I forgot which one.

[Demon_Child]

Nope, it is not Gami or Shini either. :)

[Modred]

Hmm...I remember the sc.org forums...but not the avatar...I mainly remember TheHeadRoach, terranmanosteel, and siegetank...and I know that wasn't any of those three...I'm sure I remember many more, but those are the ones that I ended up talking/arguing with the most...

[TheGreatBrain]

I first registered during the initial hubub. Now I happily post at both forums.

[Modred]

As for discovering WB, I signed up about a week or so after it was posted at BF that ORG was pulling out. Since I hadn't been by SC.org or talked to anyone connected to it (in fact, I hadn't been online much for a couple of weeks), I was a bit lost at first as to why certain people were banned over at BF. But now that I'm here, I've happily settled in, and occasionally make a cameo at the other board.

[Demon_Child]

I figured that you would remember remember him, Staind. Looks like I figured wrong. *sigh*

He used to play with the oldies such as Roach, Futch, Capt.Morgan, PlasmaMike, Link (Link-604 on SC:BW bnet) some years back which is why only the ones who remember the old SC.org forums would know this.

[KesTrel]

Wicked asked me to post something here. So I monitor this forum.

[BSTRhino]

It seems I only made 83 posts (yippee!) on the SC.org forums so its no wonder I didn't recognise the avy. Can I take a guess? I won't look through the archives?

[Demon_Child]

You also didn't join SC.org until after the creation of Blizzforums, BSTRhino. Though I have like over 1000 posts it was mainly because the post counts from BF1 were also integrated into the SC.org forums as well.

[BlackHawk]

Well, I came because a while ago (early last year...or the year before...) I had gone to a friends and played WC3 online, and played all these cool scenarios (one was this crazy Vampire one...) and so I decided I wanted to buy it. So before I bought it I thought I would figure out good scenarios and learn about the game so when I did get it I could beat my friends...or at least not get owned within 5 mins :).

Anyway, I was searching google for WC3 info and I came upon the Blizzard site (of course) and it linked to BlizzForums.com. So I signed up and began posting, slowly losing out on the fact why I had come their and leaned more into RP'ing which I found out I loved. Heh, I remember the good ol' Quest of the Dragonhorn RPG days...that was my first RPG and the one that I learned so much from, especially from the real elites there (i.e. Doom, Sub, Ender, Geno, Holjfie, PC, Were, etc.). And then new guys came in later on (WK, and some others) and we became good buddies and whatnot. Then while I was away for some reason (I forget why I was away) all the turmoil started.

So I began looking around and found a link to WB from Geno before they banned the link (well censored it), so I came here and began posting and whatnot. And that is how I came to WB. Keep in mind I have totally forgotten the real reason I came to these forums: Blizzard games, which suprisingly (and many people have said that) I play none of them :).

Haha you have the most posts in the forum mainly about blizzard and you don't even play a game made by Blizzard.

(Wait, BlackHawk has the most posts right?)

[peace_machine]

I found sc.org when I wanted to submit my maps somewhere. I have had a look at BF a few times but had no real interest in participating. When I submitted my last map to SC.org there was a link to a 'new' forum. I figured what the hell?

A new forum + a newb = a newb on a new forum! (tricky maths)

[ZeroDarkStar]

I don't think that's Nuts....

=P

[Whiteknight]

Haha you have the most posts in the forum mainly about blizzard and you don't even play a game made by Blizzard.

(Wait, BlackHawk has the most posts right?)Nope, he's three. Duddits is number one, and OboeGuru is number two.

Now I'm number 7. :)

If you want to see who is who, click on the 'members list' at the top, the click 'posts' and you will see all the regulars and people with the highest post count.

BTW, BH, I wasn't TOO far behind them, I think I was 3 months behind Geno there. Ah well, good times, good times. :)

[Battlecruiser]

Cool 10 people are in the 1000s.

[Whiteknight]

BC, do you mean:

Cool, 10 people are in the 1000s.

or

The 10 cool people are in the 1000s. ?

If you meant the second one, then I'll be having to give you one, mainly for Geno and all of em. :)

Yeah, 10 people are in the 1000s. Heh.

[Battlecruiser]

Haha I meant the first one. I need to remember to use proper grammar.

Yes, I realise now, that must be the 83 posts. On BlizzForums 1.

But... here's me mucking around and messing up my life in 2001... http://web.archive.org/web/20010302153649/http://www.legacyhq.com/forum/ not that anyone cares.

[XTERMIN8OR1]

Same way; I came upon StarCraft.org and pressed a link to WarBoards.org.

wat he said

[Nahotnoj]

A long while ago (october 2003 I think) I discovered starcraft.org which changed my starcraft expierience forever. I finally had other people online who played sc (aside from on b.net) all of the tutorials! the strategies! it was wonderful. Then, I started voting in the polls, such as "water units in patch 1.11", and saw news, and other things posted by BSTRhino. Until I finally got enough sence to read the staff section, I had absolutely no idea who he was. I started seeing him telling people to stay on topic in the polls and if they want to talk about other things, they should go to the forums, warboards.org.

I didnt think much of it at first, I just shrugged it off, and told myself I didnt want to join a forum (I dont really remember why) but, as my starcraft activities increased, so did my interest in other aspects of it. I started posting the occasional strategy on starcraft.org. Then, I discovered customs. First it was just the SDconversion and other starcraft.org customs i played, but then I began to thirst for more customs, with more in them then just the occasional Iscript change. After a while, I discovered the GundamCentury conversion, and downloaded it. I read the production history of it, and I was inspired. I began work on my own custom conversion, Starcraft: Orion Sector. However, I knew very little about modding and the tutorials on starcraft.org werent all that helpfull (for the things I needed to do) so, seeing nothing else I could do, I came here. At first, it was just the occasional question on how to do something, but then, I started to get to know the people, and got attached to the forums, and thats how I got to warboards.

P.S. I never would have stayed active if it werent for BSTRhino If it was say, someone mean and evil who first greeted me, *cough* sambo83 *cough* I probably wouldnt have wanted to get to know the forums more.

P.S.S OMG that was really lenghty.

[mcflurry_1982]

one of the people that joined on february 8

[UndeadBastard]

Came here with the old boys.

[Duddits]

Crys... I just realised that i've wasted many-a-weeks in front of this computer at both BF and WBs... Hmmm, worth every second of it.

I started out by searching for some SC strats over at gamefaqs.com, which had very few. I was an addict to their boards, so I checked the SC forum in there. As I remember, there was a forum complaining about hacking which I clicked. Somebody dissed someone else, who in turn dissed another who then posted a link to starcraft.org. This was in October of 2002. I found the link to BF then.

Afterwards, I got hooked as user Josh, though had a 3 month absense. Later I came back as Duddits and stayed on as so. Then everything went to hell, for me on BF, after the whole Xenon thing which led up to the split in January/February.

Now here I am, trying to get my dyslexia project done and breaking my groundage to post ^^

[SexForTwo]

During the WB/BF fallout, AJ came to visit BattleForums, and his lovely 'essay' got interpreted as advertising. (By the way, we were extremely nice to him and he didn't even get warned! Bias! Blast it!)

Since I always think of BF a competitor not an enemy, I went to see what happened, and I found the wonderful URL before someone censored it. http://www.warcraft.org, just a wonderful memorisable URL.

Thus comes the entrance of the spambot.

[Maegtelluma]

The whole spat with BF got me interested, and i came over, then got myself hooked on diplomacy.

[Dark_Soul74]

BSTRhino made an announcement in the BlizzSCUMS subforum at BlizzForums.

[AJ]

Hrm.. I co-founded WarBoards, does that count? ;)

[SoulreaverELITE]

Ummm im #6 does that count?
Fenguin got me into it

[OboeGuru]

Me > Soul, as I am #5. :D

A little flightless bird chirped it out.

[CODEZERO]

hmmm let c i was at starcraft.org looking throu maps and mc misclicked on forum got here and decided to sign up

[Whiteknight]

Me > Soul, as I am #5. :D

A little flightless bird chirped it out.
Yeah, well, well, I'm number ... I have no clue! Yeah, that's right! No clue! :p

Too bad I wasn't able to get on BF when the switch happened, I'd be like number 3.

[Demon_Child]

I am among the first 20 here. ;)

[OboeGuru]

Yeah, well, well, I'm number ... I have no clue! Yeah, that's right! No clue! :p

Too bad I wasn't able to get on BF when the switch happened, I'd be like number 3.
Hehehehehe, no you'd've been in the teens, or the high digits at best. Some people with an inside scoop on the forums registered a month before release. Just check the member list and sort by Reg. Date.

[Geno]

On topic, then some off topic...

On topic: I joined with the group from BF. Mostly because of things that at the time I feel were nesseccery. Besides, I got to hang with one of my good friends, BSTRhino, and all my old favorites, like DC and such... And I don't mean old as in age wise, but old as in long time... Really, she probably didn't know who the heck I was, but that's beside the point. I follow my friends and fellow posters. And you wonder why the RP forum at BF is dead... o.O

Off topic: I see my name mentioned many times... I remember about 8 months or so ago when I didn't even exist... To tell the truth, if you search under the username 'Drakain_Zeil" over at BF, you will find AT MOST 3 posts with my name in it, one being the BlizzSCUMS status thread... Other than that, I'm one of like 4 active members, and I'm hardly ever mentioned. That shows how noticiable I am to some. Then there's people like Black_Hawk, Whiteknight, and the rest that always mention me. To those who mention me, I feel honored. To those that don't... I hope I'm not wasting your life ;)

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

P.S. I'm member... *Checks*... 31 I believe... That's not too bad if you ask me... Top 50, meh... Could be better, but still... I'm here! ^.^

[Duddits]

Whoa... I got in late. 273 for me.

Don't worry Geno, we all love you. -hugs-

Ok, you can let go of me now.

[TranquilNightElf]

sniff...*gets teary eyed at the camradarie*.. :)

[Mtank]

I was online when it all happened...i saw it.

/me 's eye gleams with the memory.

Im pretty active on BF....i initially didnt want to join here, but DT made me. So i did.
i am member 32 or something...but i registered late cause of some problem io had...nvm.

[Battlecruiser]

Yeah, well, well, I'm number ... I have no clue! Yeah, that's right! No clue! :p
You are number 1667.
Im pretty active on BF....i initially didnt want to join here, but DT made me. So i did.
i am member 32 or something...but i registered late cause of some problem io had...nvm.
Your number 49.

I am 118. If I was 119 then I could be master chiefs number, spartan_119.

[ZeroDarkStar]

Mtank, you are 49.

Whiteknight, you are 1667.

I'm 39. Would have been lower if I wasn't asleep when WB opened. :)

[pixels]

I was sort of lost that morning so it took me a bit to realize WB's creation which is why my user # is only 72.

[Duddits]

Yea well, I wish I was member 1337. That'd be so great.

EDIT: AHAHAHAAH!! How the f--- did Redcloack get member 69?! Hahahaha! Is this the |=4gg07 69? Grabbing of male genitalia 69?

[BlackHawk]

#189 over here, wewt. A lil' late because I was away (as said in my story thigny) and didn't know what was going down, yo! :\ Okay, I'll stop...

Oh Nahotnoj, I'm honoured my name was mentioned in your post. I should probably start going in the polls and tell people they should stop going off topic so much some more if it really works that well.

And I should probably make/find more customs tutorials to get more people excited. Thanks for the thoughts and inspiration!

[Subjukator]

I came here from Blizzforums when everyone all of a sudden people stopped posting in the RP threads and when other people starting dropping some not-so-subtle hints of the existance of this forum. :smirk:

[StealthyDeath]

Saw the news post on Starcraft.org.

[BSTRhino]

Mmmmm... sometimes I never think that anyone reads the news posts lol, it's good to hear you guys say it.

I then went to sclegacy much more then starcraft.org (sorry Bstrhino)

Awwwh... it hurts. Nah just kidding, I understand.

[Whiteknight]

Meh, 1667. Oh well, it doesn't really matter what time you joined.

BST, when I first joined the forum, I only hung out at the SC2 forum and I remember you from there. If I had been somewhere else, and was greeted by other mods, say Seigetank or RC, then I probably would have left the forums too. So I'm lucky I was in the SC2 where you modded before I learned about the forum.

[HackingVictim]

I probley sound pretty newbish......But how do you check what member # you are?

WOW.............This is one very close family (so to speak). You guys have known each other for years........ hehehehehehe IF I wasn't banned from GG Forums then I would have not found the wonderfull taste of The family WB.............In stead I have to be in a family that grounds me every year from computer and does not understand that my homework is tearing me away from the more importan things in life....For example WB.........And does not relize "Never let school keep you from your education"-Mark Twain

[AJ]

the link to each member's profile is also their userid. your's for example being #1965.

[BlackHawk]

HV you are member 1965, you can find this out by hovering over the user's name and it will say "www.warboards.org/member.php?u=1975" (for you, the bold part tells you what their number is, "u" means "user").

Blasted AJ *shakes fist*. Btw, I got an idea for you: forum re-design contest :D.

this is what i love about WB. everyone knows everyone one way or another. and if they dont, they soon will anyhow.

[HackingVictim]

Thx...... 1965.......Thats when my dad was born........

[AJ]

He's fairly young.

As for a redesign contest.. I'm not making it an official contest. For two reason.
1) I'm not opening up the Admin CP for anyone to access it and develop a skin, as such I'm not going to spend my own time bridging someone's design to vB.
2) There's no need for a contest. I'll accept any designs that you have to offer.

Hmmm :p. Maybe after my current project...just maybe.

[HackingVictim]

Did I miss something here? What redisgn contest? ooooooohhhhh You mean new skin............. Heck no.........I wouldn't let people disigh another skin......I love this one......

[AJ]

*All future styles along with this current one will remain options for you, the posters, to choose between.

* = Possibility that older styles would eventually be dropped due to compatibilty issues. Merely a chance.

[HackingVictim]

*= stop typing like this........ it took me a while to figure out what you were saying.....

*= its your decision....... thx for thinking about poor Eli and giving him a option to choose old skin.....

[Battlecruiser]

Will the option of new skins slow the page downloading time?

[pixels]

Will the option of new skins slow the page downloading time?

nope. itll be like this little drop down box in your options or perhaps at the bottom of the page. itll only matter if you change the skin. youll load the images once, and then thats it. its cached. you dont slow down.

theres not going to be a new skin any time soon (that i know of) so dont worry about it. when it happens we'll know.

[AJ]

Only if you were using a possibly more image intensive skin.
Additional skins being available wouldn't slow the load for the site at all, no.

The great AJ himself invited me to this wonderful place with promises of candy and purely heterosexual love...

I have yet to receive either. ;_;

[AJ]

I resent that. The loving was issued standard with your usertitle and avatar.

But it wasn't gentle! The wounds will heal, but the scars will last forever! :cry:

<sob> :P

And where's my damn candy!? XD

[AJ]

Just the way it's supposed to be.
That way you'll have to carry an image/memory of it with you wherever you go.

Love hurts like this. The delicate blossoming of a pubic flower and the trampling of which by a drunken forum administrator on a cold day in Hell has scarred the eyes and hearts of even the most innocent... :shiftyr:

[AJ]

And yet the tulips still blossom as if nothing had occured.
You'd do well to reflect on that. ;)

[ZeroDarkStar]

Awwwwwww...poor Carny, being bullied by the admin. :)

Yes, Master. ._. [/spamspree]

http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=1973

Already suggested it :p. Although they seemed a bit more antagonistic then, more of a "No, we LOVE this theme and will never change it!!!" Ok, so I exaggerate a small bit...

Anyway...this thread is way off...

I guess this is a little above me for the moment. I'm playing hacksack!

I was lured here with the promise of nublie virgins. Turns out that it was AJ. :(
(Just kidding, AJ!)

I was a Senior Moderator by the name of "Shinitenshi" with BlizzForums and found out about a secret project via AJ that eventually formed into an .org-based forum website. I helped out on a few minor points and joined the staff as "Templar Tenshi" before the site was officially opened.

Since that time, I've retired from the staff at BF to devote more time to my personal life. Since my workload here is significantly smaller, I'm still willing to operate as a senior staff member for the time being until someone or something says otherwise.

And you do a damned good job of it. I can understand personal life. I have to take a few days off here and there for graduation, work, and my new gf all the time... It's one of those deals where everyone has stuff to do, but I can understand. I really hope you stay as Senior Mod, because who knows... Without you, who do we have? Demon_Child? That's it? Man, were toast... She wouldn't have a slave to torture...

Oh... Erm... Look at the time! I'm out!

I was checking a list of the colleges MOST visited websites in a moment of boredom. I noticed at number NINE a site called "warboards" and wondered what it could be. Upon entering i began to wonder why it would be in the top 10 most visited sites of the college when i chanced upon a name....

How very flattering, Geno. :p But there are people who are just as suitable for the role of Senior Moderator as I am. :)

[AJ]

DC, please note the "opinion" thread in the staff forum.
*ahem*

I have already noticed the changes before reading Edgie's post in your thread, AJ. I was sending a cryptic message. ;)

Yep, all me. Of course, I noticed just than that WarBoards doesn't even making the top 100 list, even with both of us clocking up visits to these forums. Methinks everyone else simply lulled in their Internet usage whilst I continued to take full advantage of the high-speed Internet ;)

-grumbles- Damn cryptic staff forum and forumers. I can't believe WhiteKnight did that.

(Hmm, I want to visit the staff forum one day)
