Don't know about Wymsy or SaS, but I know SaS abandoned FEP. I think they had to essentially hijack the site to try to repair years of damage on the old obsolete board.
Crimea River was a girl? o.O

THIS. RIGHT. HERE.
This right here makes me so happy. I've been with FEP for 6 years now, and as of right now, I think I know, at most, two of you from the past. I don't know nearly everyone on this right now, or rather I don't know any of these current identities and actually probably DID know you a while back with a different name. In all of my time with FEP, I've change my name once. Wanna know what the change was? linkhardin -> Linkhardin
Yep, all I did was capitalize my original name.
All of the constant name-changing made me just not want to be on the forums all-together. It's the same reason why I pop up as little as I do now. If everyone keep the same name, or similar name -- or even if their name changed once in the past, like, 2 months, I would be able to create the same friendships that I had with FEPers in the past.
If the name-changing is truly limited, I will be extremely active here(like 4-10 times a day, just like 6 years ago). I used to talk on the forums all the time. The only reason why I'm actually still here is for two reasons only: FE has always been my favorite game, so feel a sort of connection with the site; I know the community as a whole. I can't identify you personally, but I know all of you were awesome, and interesting people with similar interests to me. I really didn't wanna let go of this site, even when there wasn't much left for me, and now I have hope that there is a reason to continue holding on.
Sorry for the rant, but I truly mean all of this. This single-handedly tore me apart from the site, so now I hope I can be brought back.
I know I don't usually say much even though I really want to, but now you know why.
I think you will be pleased to find out this next bit of information. @Linkhardin
There's no name change function here on the new forums. And in all of my time here as admin, on the brand new forums, not once have I received a single request to change anyone's name.
^This right here is a welcome change.
But that does not mean there won't be name changes. You may change a grand total of 3 times a year. Once done, you may not change the name until 3 months. And barring any holiday events or whatever is planned, once you use up the 3 name changes, you may not change again until the new year.
I will be proposing this to fensti. I don't want to see an overabundance of name changes ever again. It's generally confusing and I'd rather not lose members over it.
3 name-changes are nothing. I am more than content with that. It was only frustrating when a person changed their name, like 7 times in one month simultaneously with other members, creating my mass confusion. With the seldom name changes, I would once-in-a-while notice a name I don't recognize, and then quickly check the name history. I am fine with that. I really appreciate this.
I find it amusing that me popping in causes a flurry of staff discussion. Happened last time too. come to think of it, happens in most groups I look in to.
I decree myself to be the leadership magnet and general eye of the shitstorm. Bow to my glory.
Well, general eye of the shitstorm is in the past here. I like the "leadership magnet" idea better honestly. We need more of those.
Oh goodness... a dozen cheffies?
A dozen more Cheffies to kidnap
So if you guys clone him, I can kill the clones without having to worry about consequences?
No, you get twice the consequences. o:
And all of the other clones would gang up on you. Dozens of Cheffys (Cheffies? XD) would take over the world.
Flamethrower is an answer. Barbecue tonight?
