Old Black Isle board

I notice that Melodie hangs out at Missy's.  I hope she's doing well.

 

I hope she would stop using pic of her kid as an avatar. It always creeps me out, because I think some evil three year old genius is out there in the internet. :ph34r:

Ye Olde Pages was separate from Way Way Off Topic. WWOT was the spam forum and Ye Olde was the politics/history/etc forum.

didn't say it was, i said it was a WWoT type board... i.e. it wasn't for stuff particularly related to BIS.

 

i didn't post there much, as i noted, since i was primarily involved simply to get info on the BGs. around the time YoP went away, i started posting more, however, and changed my name to taks, my real-life nick (posted with my in-game <CHARNAME> before that...)

 

i wasn't nearly as motivated by society then, either, so political/economic/philosophical things weren't on my radar. plus, i was single, even less motivation to be deep. :blink:

 

yrkoon still grates on me and i haven't read a post of his in over a year.

 

taks

comrade taks... just because.

I've never wanted a status symbol as badly as I wanted 1000 posts on the old BIS boards. Unfortunately they removed post counts a couple of weeks after I eventually breached this magic number. Does anyone remember 6'8 Italian Warlord and his rantings about tarrasques at the oasis in Throne of Bhaal?

 

Btw Mistress and Pirotess are not the same

We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.

Hah. :D I remember spamming with TIAX just to get past that magical 1000 post line. Didn

My post count never got too high, when I really started getting active in the forum it was in the movies/books/politics forums, then someone suggested someone kill the president, everyone agreed, and bam, no more community. Everything went downhill after that. It was odd though, I never really felt at home at Missy's lair, even though it was all the same people.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Overseer was Sawyer, if I recall.

 

overseer was not one person... was a title/identity/mask for a number o' black isle folks who would choose to excercise some authority on the boards.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Ahh, that makes sense. The guys at BIS could assume the role of Overseer as necessary.

Don't name names! Unless it's me. In which case, I'll be hurt, but I'll just suffer in silence. :D
