Malcador Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 If I wanted misery, I'd start a romance or multiplayer thread on the Project: Eternity Boards... I'll cut you. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Amentep Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Point proven, I think. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Labadal Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I came here because I thought it was a thread made today. How wrong I was. I came to these boards because when I actually decided to join a forum, I wanted to join one with people that liked the sort of games I do. We'll we're glad you joined anyway.

Walsingham Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Wow, I've seen some thread necromancy in my day, but 9 1/2 years takes the cake. /pats Sargallath on the back Project Eternity is what brought me here. I stayed because the community is mostly non-a-holes, which is nice. Indeed. One can only imagine him standing in some mountaintop laboratory, massive arcs of electricity singing across his internet cables. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Walsingham Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I just checked and I came here first in _2005_! That's a hell of a long time. *shudder* Not a great set of years, but I guess they could have been worse. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Nonek Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Became somewhat overexcited perusing the attractive rodent thread. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Darth InSidious Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I'm here because some pretentious schutta stole my ship. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
Tigranes Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I'm here because I wasn't cool enough (actually, too young) to hang in the Black Isle forums, so if I joined right away in this one I could pretend to be hip and stuff. Also, I really used to like discussing games on here, though I think the demographic these days is a lot lighter on old school RPG dudes. Maybe with PE...

licketysplit Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Started at BSN which became a social justice crusading site. So I'm here waiting for PE.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Sargy does that. He's the only one who remembers where these ancient threads are buried. Indiana Sargy stars in RAIDERS OF THE LOST THREAD Wow, I've seen some thread necromancy in my day, but 9 1/2 years takes the cake. /pats Sargallath on the back Indeed. One can only imagine him standing in some mountaintop laboratory, massive arcs of electricity singing across his internet cables. ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Woldan Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I'm a BSN refugee. During the time of DAO I used to be a very active member on the Bioware Social Network till everything went downhill with the disappointing DAO:Awakening, DA2, ME3 and the infiltration of a new kind of audience I've grown to dislike. When I learned about Project Eternity (Sadly too late to make a kickstarter donation *headdesk*) and a friend of mine convinced me to register to the Obsidian forums (Thanks, TsugaC!) I left the beaten disaster zone the BSN had become to seek shelter and refuge here. Ok, I haven't left the BSN completely, but the Obsidian forums is such a nicer and more civilized place, not to mention as a classic D&D RPG fan I'm way more interested in PE than in any of BW's current abomin...I mean projects / new directions. Edited September 21, 2013 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Humanoid Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 It was IWD2 for me. And like other long-timers, stayed for the off-topic: heck after IWD2 I think I stayed more or less clear of any of the specific game forums. And I may be misremembering things, but I don't think I'd ever signed up to any forum before BIS, and was very timid initially. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
BruceVC Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Okay I only became active last year when the funding of PE started. I left my old forum, Mortal Online, and appreciated the discussions and intellectual debate on these forums I really enjoy these forums. I think we have a nice mix of eccentric, brilliant, sensitive, verbose, reasonable and all round nice people who are regulars. The only thing we don't have is enough lady members. 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
LadyCrimson Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Came for the Kotor2. Lurked first, registered later. Made galleries. Had some laughs. Met some cool people. Sometimes I blathered a lot, sometimes I lurked a lot. I've taken occasional hiatuses but never stay away for long. I like it here. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I wandered in here about 6 months before the release of Alpha Protocol and been skulking around ever since... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Gfted1 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I cant remember how I got here. The previous board closed or something? Can someone help a brother out here with a timeline? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Humanoid Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) The Interplay forums were only around for about a year I think. I know I registered on BIS in mid-2002, and this place was opened February 2004 (since I assume my registered date was within a day of the launch, which also appears to be the date this thread was created), so that'd place the forced migration from BIS to IPLY in late 2002 to early 2003? (God the colour scheme for that forum was ugly) I might have better info on my other PC, got a screenshot of a couple incidents (such as the whole Lord Jim thing) which would have timestamps on them.

Leferd Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 On and off poster/lurker on the old Black Isle and Interplay boards dating back to TotSC. Was hugely entertained by all the trolls and flame wars and stuck around. Followed Bio after the NWN schism in 2001. Heard the old Black Isle gang got back together and are opening new boards on Feb 7, 2004. Signed up on Feb 8.

Monte Carlo Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I cant remember how I got here. The previous board closed or something? Can someone help a brother out here with a timeline? I think I remember you from a very, very long time ago. Pre-2004, easily, on the old boards IIRC. There were those drop-down thread board software with crazy reply chains. Karzak and Gromnir featured heavily, as did Sargy and 6'8 Italian Warlord or whatever he was called. I was posting on the Unwashed Village and was a moderator on BGDungeon when I migrated to BIS (sort of Planescape-coming-into-IWD1). Sh1t, I remember posting about the time of 9/11 with some folks from these boards, we all shared that awful WTF vibe. 1
Oerwinde Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I joined the Interplay/BIS boards in 98 or 99 I think, because of Fallout. Migrated here after Feargus and co announced the new company. Does anyone know where Puuk(I think thats what he called himself, Hulk avatar) ended up after he got laid off at BIS? The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
