Old FEP?

Yeah, I figured there wouldn't be too much of the old crowd around. I myself only signed up again pretty much to check in. Perhaps see if Awakening and Fates brought this place back from the dead.

Fan sites just aren't what they used to be, mate.

I actually wouldn't know. I've only ever joined two- here and Pokecommunity. Both roughly around 2004-5, I think.

All I know is that things just seemed to die down around the cusp of the decade. Somewheresabouts 2008-9.

One could tie it to a shifting of priorities in light of the Recession- but things are better now and activity still seems lackluster.

By-the-by, on the subject of old members- I actually somehow kept in touch with Ramsden. Even met up with him on a trip to England a few years ago. Cool guy. He actually kinda looks like Weird Al.

It kinda did lift the place from the dead for a bit, but it isn't really a steady improvement. But anything we see today is better than it was 2010-2013. That's what I'd like to call the post-apocalyptic era.

Also, fun fact. I haven't changed my name for close to 5 years. Remember back in 2009 or prior to that when I'd have a name change like every other week? I was almost as bad as Ket. ._.

i blame Reddit honestly, why make a fansite when you can simply make a reddit in 5 seconds?

how's it been rock? definitely been ages, hopefully still not trapped in quebec.

That's because you weren't in the CLUB, Darkspawn.

I boomeranged a few times.

Went to Ontario, back to Quebec. Then to Alberta for a while, and now back in Quebec again.

Work/contracts just ended up going that way.

What's new in your life?

I would say that might not have been what he was referring to...but outside of the sprites and rp, I spent most of my time on FEP lurking. Except for perhaps a year or two of actually posting in the Rolling Sea of Stupidity, that is. Then again...I'm member #14 on old FEP, so that probably explains a bit. It explains I was lurking when the site change happened and jumped on that instantly.

[Cheffy]

Heeeeye, ole' swifty! How you been man? And Rock! And possibly other people whose names I can no longer keep up with!

finished studying so to speak, got a meh job until i can get a pilot's job, and playing vidya every now and then with friends.you know, half a leg into being an actual adult -shudder-

-

heyo swifty? been a while but what else could he have been referring to? i did some spriting and didn't see much life, i was always active in the RSS since you can only discuss so much fire emblem (i'm having flashbacks of assassin or swordmaster marissa threads)
never went on the irc either so there's that too though.

[Swift_Assassin]

Eh...I don't know. I'd throw FETO out there, but I haven't touched that thing in years. I didn't touch the irc either, to my recollection. So yeah....now that I think about it, it can only be the rp.

Side note, just finished Conquest as of this posting, and now I'm moving onto Revelation. Two routes down, one to go.

[Falaflame]

You know.

I can't help, but think, how different we would be right now if Exxeh didn't entrust everything to SaS. If, instead, she trusted someone else entirely with the site.

Then I would have probably found out about FETO sooner. Probably amongst many other people.

[Swift_Assassin]

I actually doubt that. I don't think FETO was around when Exxeh was. If I recall correctly, we had an flash arcade thing on the site around that time. I remember playing a lot of Space Invaders during computer classes when that was around. We probably wouldn't have had that awful Makarov theme

[WyvernSlayer]

Aw man, I remember that stupid arcade thing. I had a lot of high scores there.

Gotta extend that e-peen, you know.

[Swift_Assassin]

That was also back when they implemented the whole coins thing. That store had so little going on, I'm sure even bots that hadn't been blocked had their banks maxed out.

Oh yeah, I missed it, but a couple days ago, March 4th, I get an instant message congratulating me for being on FEP for 10 years. That old board has been around for ten years....damn. And I joined the same day that thing went up. Hell, at this rate, I'm practically a FEP original. If you don't count the FEP from two boards before that one. I was even a very early member on the interim board between the old one and the one before that. I think I was member 12 or 13 on that one. Not sure which, but I know Legault the Mad Assassin and I joined both of those boards right after each other.

[Falaflame]

Speaking of Legault, I wonder where he disappeared off to. He was a chill guy.

[dreamsleever]

Legault; man, I miss him! D: We had so much RP fun together. (Gods I was such a n00b RPer back then! But I still hate my writing). This is Ket, by the way; couldn't log into my old account but I'll figure it out! So much has changed and I'm glad you guys are still around. I'm actually transgender, female-to-male, and a whole lot of other things have gone on. Good gods, I'm 28 now xD. Wonder how old you guys are. FEP has existed since...2003?

Love the sweet things you've said about me in this thread. <3

Definitely not on 8chan; that must be another Crimea River. I go by different names now anyway. xD;; Ditched the Crimea River because I associated it with stress on another board. But yeah!

Also, Endal's bay.

[Swift_Assassin]

Holy Shit. I lurk way too much. I'm the first one to react to this again First R'n'R comes back, Cheffy pops back in for a sec, and now you're back.

I still have some memories of the Scouring RP he ran. Unfortunately, since that was pre-Dark of Night, I can't remember who I rped at the time. Probably a thief, myrmidon, or fencer at that time. I do recall how bad my writing was at the time. Wish he was back.

I'm turning 25 on the Ides of March. So, next Tuesday. So if I'm not mistaken, I believe I probably joined the site sometime between the Japanese and American releases of Sacred Stones, which was October 2004 to May 2005. I distinctly remember using a Ross mug for a character not even knowing who he was, so it was some time after the sprites were ripped and put in the sprite database. So that adds another year or two more to how long I've been on FEP.

Also.

Never left it.
