I remember back OB when.....

[Lady Asphyxia]

I'm never here anymore but suddenly wanted to come for a visit and started reading this thread. I know it's silly since everyone moved on like me, but the idea of losing all the connections I had on here just sort of makes me want to cry. You guys were my childhood. And it was a good one. 

 

If anyone does have facebook and wants to add me, send me a message. I'd love you add you guys. :)  

[Petie]

I think that's what keeps many of us coming back, at least to check in occasionally, and I'm thankful for it :)

And on that note, it's great to see you again! Expect a PM shortly!

I'll hop the bandwagon. If you want to add me on Facebook, send me a PM. :D Edited January 28, 2013 by Japan

I'm not sure what inspired me to check back here, but now I'm all nostalgic. It would be so cool if all the regulars from when I was a mod poked their heads in for a little bit and we could all just feel nostalgic together.

It is a nice feeling to have, Clurr. I've been poking around lately for a week or more now. It seems all I have time or energy for lately is posting on forums lately. I've been too busy for computer games lately...well correction, I've been enjoying things that don't require a constant click of the mouse lately. It feels great. Writing and drawing FTW!

I'm not even sure I can list all of the good memories I have from here. kuja, anyone? ;)

...Seems like such a long time ago.

Probably the biggest two things I remember are the awesome RPGs and the once-vibrant gaming community we had here. I remember that E3 used to generate so much discussion and debate...it just felt like a really warm gaming community without all the craziness on other forums.

 

Yes. Big time. Ah kuja... You say it seems like such a long time ago, but it actually was, it was like 7, 8 years ago that stuff. Jeh (Jamas Hazaa, is how it started if I remember rightly), Weh, etc. etc. The huge AIM chats everyone used to have. All that stuff.

 

The RPGs were amazing though. Two that really stick out was a Zelda one, but I can't remember the pretence, and a Megaman one that went on for ages and ages - both really enjoyable.

 

Those were kind of the 'glory' days, for me. I was younger, I used to come on OB like every night after school until late into the night (early in the morning) posting and, mainly actually, talking on AIM. I was a lot different back then, but a lot stays the same doesn't it? I mean, I'm back here aren't I? Haha.

 

Mainly, I remember the community. Yep. Amazing people. Hello everyone.

 

EDIT: Lady Asphyxia - I remember you! "losing all the connections I had on here just sort of makes me want to cry. You guys were my childhood. And it was a good one. " And I can totally get on board with that. Totally.

I googled my user name and this thread came up. It's been years since I've even thought about this place, in fact I had almost forgotten about OB! It's a few months shy of ten years since I was banned from this place and there's still many familiar faces here. Where does the time go?

HELLO!

 

 

Yeah it's crazy isn't it? I think my original summation of 7, 8 years is definitely off. More like 10+. Wow. Wow, wow, and triple wow.

 

Loved every minute. I even tiptoed onto OB on Christmas day of all times, as I'm sure many others did. What a jolly good old time we all had. It seems like a dream now. A dream.

I found this thread: http://www.otakuboards.com/index.php?/topic/22955-otaku-awards-2003-nominations/page-3

My name popped up a few times as 'favorite banned member' of 2003 so that's how I narrowed down when I left. I remember this community used to be thriving, but I guess that changes in ~10 years with everybody growing up and moving on. I wonder how many other people still pop in from time to time? Reading through that and other older topics I recognize an astounding amount of names.

 

I remember spending a significant part of my youth just hanging out with people on AIM. I wonder where they're all at now...

Time slips on, but we all had great times here. I even have several of my old friends on here mucking around on my Facebook. 

 

Chins up, yeah? :)

I miss the old days when I could remember everyone by name and then everyone started changing them...so I couldn't XD I can't say much though, I did change my name from Keiji to Kayin many years ago.

[Deadpool]

That's why I have pretty much kept the same name. I had a hard enough keeping up with everyone else's name changes don't need to confuse myself too

[Akieen Cloud]

I think I changed from KG once, but went back to it. Been KG for the longest time lol

[Allamorph]

I like my name.

[Inuyasha Fandom]

I still have the same screen name as I always have.
