Reveilled Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Today we commemorate the passing of a forum close to some of our hearts, and lament the deletion of the Other Games forum. It is with a heavy heart that I remember the life of our beloved forum, ignored for so much of it's time on this board, and laid to rest so soon after. Though I knew Other Games for but a short week, the forum held a place in my heart. I've known many forums in my time, but all of us gathered here to remember it surely agree that Other Games was special. From its first thread to its last, it brought joy to our lives. It also brought us a cherished sense of danger, as we hid in it from the powers that be, breaking the rules and praying we would not be discovered. But all things must come to an end, my friends, and as we lament its discovery and its passing into the great forum of the sky, I'd like us all to remember the good times. The Other Games forum Born: February 14th, 2004 Discovered: September 23rd, 2005 Died: September 30th, 2005 R.I.P. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
Judge Hades Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 It was the secret cow level for the Obsidian Forums. Or was it more like Hot Coffee?
BattleCookiee Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 "Hot Coffee" Since it made quite a rumor, and broke some ESRB...eh...OE Rules
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I blame Ender. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
Reveilled Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 Now now, let's not go about assigning blame. Good times, remember? Incidentally, the threads are still viewable if you have them in your history file. Closed now, of course, but anyone with a long history file who viewed all the threads could make a list of the threads that existed with the URLs. For posterity's sake, y'know. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

Surreptishus Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 That was an interesting forum.. just my luck to have discovered it mere hours before its termination <_< I guess its not too bad because the forum seemed to have climaxed already.

Surreptishus Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Yay for bukkake! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...especially when receiving!!! Edit: Yes i used to use the screen name of darth flatus. I didnt know i could jsut change the name by asking and its not much bother to set up a new acc. Edited September 30, 2005 by Surreptishus
213374U Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Flatus, is that you? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Dark Moth Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Just out of curiosity, how did it get discovered in the first place? Was CoF's bait a success?
Baley Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) I'm confused. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There was a glitch in the Other Games section that allowed us to create topics outside of the 2 main forums. Also Flatus chose to create a new account instead of PMing the GM to change his user name,they share the same avatar.He admited it in the Lost thread,I think. Just out of curiosity, how did it get discovered in the first place? Was CoF's bait a success? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Battlewookiee found Ender's second Good Bye thread. Edited September 30, 2005 by Baley
Deraldin Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 There was a glitch in the Other Games section that allowed us to create topics outside of the 2 main forums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah. That clears it up. Thanks!
kirottu Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 It was kinda fun place. I This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
julianw Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) But that forum isn't even within Battlewookiee's jurisdiction! This is an outrage! Edited September 30, 2005 by julianw
Child of Flame Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I have a link to Ender's other Goodbye thread if anyone wants it, but I'm not going to post it publicly as it would be disrespectful to the moderation.
julianw Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 how did said glitch work? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could start new topics when in Other Games Forum.
Surreptishus Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) There was a secret forum in Other Games hidden from the eyes of the mods. i think Reveilled discovered it a week ago and then many people went there and posted stuff. Ender posted his tantrum there and the Fio discovered it and closed the forum earlier today. Edited September 30, 2005 by Surreptishus
Child of Flame Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I just trawled back through my history entries that were located on Obsidian (this is pretty easy in Firefox) until I found the thread. Unless you had been to that thread before though you won't have the URL. Unless you ask me for it. "
