Who's there?
It's that old member who embarrassed himself so many years ago, yet it all helped him mature to be a better forumer.
God I miss this old place... I have a lot of memories here... They may not be fond memories, but regardless, they're memories I can look back on and learn from experiences.
So I remembered this place and decided to take a trip down memory lane... or at least see who's still thriving here.
Um... the last post was around a month ago, and I'm the only person to show up within 24 hours...
I don't know if anyone's around still, but if they are, it'd be nice to talk to them again. Heck, I feel like RPing again, I just need the motivation for this place. The RP forum I currently frequent is sorta dying and all my characters are getting stuck with people who can't show up for a while. The boredom gets pretty bad. Especially when ur speakers batteries die (just don't freaking ask) and I can't go to Youtube.

I kind of...lost interest in that more Harvest Moon based one though... I mean its one thing to play the games, but the interest dies quickly when RPing it... and I haven't really seen Whitejet on at all which makes it difficult to continue with the main stuff >:

Fine then. I'll see what I can do. Do you want straight up Forgotten Realms or something new?

So it's generally just you two?
I've been drifting through the internet time and time again. Joined websites, taken part in stuff, yadda yada. I'm staring to frequent deviantART and Youtube a lot. I actually got a new camcorder recently, so I might share a few videos. Maybe I'll get into the "let's play" business, seeing how I love spending my time playing games. Might as well entertain the masses in some way or another. (I make funny noises when I play Mario Games.)
Hey, if you guys are starting something new, would it be alright if I joined in? It's been ages since I made a character for an RP.

Sure. I'm in the middle of retooling the main RP. I kinda don't want to demolish it. I put a hellova lot of work into the back story. I just need to work on renaming things and getting it all sorted out. But we have the extra rp slots for fun. Since Christi wants D&D that's what she gets. There's not gonna be any stats or rules. Just pick a race and have fun man. Christi is usually on from 1:00PM until about 10:00PM and I'm on from around 10:00AM to sometimes 2:00 AM.

Oh right... I forgot how you guys roll...
This is the ONLY RP I've ever experienced people posting so frequently with each other... all others usually get one or two posts from each user a day...
I have access to the actual computer... rarely ever. It's practically my sister's, since the computer does nothing but run Sims 2 all day. I can post from the Wii, but... it takes ten times longer to make posts...
Well just to confirm, how slow do RPs run here? I might only be able to check in once or twice a day as I've said.

It varies. I figured you would know how fast we move after all these years. There is a hitch though. Christi just bought Prototype. Take this time to work on a character. If you have any questions just ask me on MSN. Zakuno_2@hotmail.com

Adding Zaku on MSN.
Anyway. Mage. I too miss the close-knitted-ness of the community here, where people would log in on a daily basis and post stuff which resulted in a long list of suspended discussions and/or storys going on at any given moment. This is one of the few forums I've found that has had that at one point or another. For that it will be sorely missed.
I would LOVE to have actually figured out what the hell was going on and RP'd, but... Uh. I kind of gave up. Too much stuff going on.
What this forum needs to potentially un-dead itself is... well, SOMEONE needs to make a comic/website/whatever and link to it. That's how we all found it in the first place, Christi's comic on DD. I plan to start a webcomic at SOME point in the future, but I suck at drawing so it'll either die shortly after starting or I'll just keep practicing and put it on hold indefinitely.
I really would like to see this place become as awesome as it was however many years/months ago. For whatever reason it managed to attract people who weren't complete idiots, which is quite a feat on the internet. Even today, where 4chan memes run rampant in every tiny crevice of this mighty series of tubes, it retains its integrity.
People like (old) Mage and Silos weren't bad at all, they sparked delicious internet drama which was incredibly entertaining to read. Which reminds me, the forum had its own set of little inside jokes and everything. The only thing it lacked was a source of momentum and new people. Without any new people joining or anything cool happening, it slowed down until we got to wherever we are now. People like Gen and Whitejet (and Nam long before) presumably got caught up with other stuff because the forum was no longer a place of interest. Everyone still here (all two of us) will probably die off except for Zaku and Christi, because they know each other so well outside of the forum and the forum itself is like a project of theirs.
I'm trying to think of what it was that brought everyone on this forum together back when they were active... Remember how we all had Megaman recolors? And characters? And how we'd make sprite comics with other people's characters? Yeah. That was fun. We should do that again. Only without sprites. What do we all have in common? Some vague interest in Megaman and we like roleplaying? Let's all work together and make some totally awesome comic about... uh... Megaman roleplaying. And then post it on DD or something. I don't know.
And now I'm kind of rambling.
