Holy shit, it's been four years since the passing of GWG wow.

As for nostalgia, I've been wishing I had more time for my MUDs, as I still have a character from like, seven years ago still kicking around on one of them, and a new one on a different one whose ideals I like. But I just don't and I miss my little OC babies.

Did that have anything to do with the selling of forum game slots on Patreon?

Whassisnow?

I missed that bit of drama. Got a thread and/or screenies of that? It's piqued my curiosity.

I think that was a different guy. Tried to run a pay-to-play forum game, which created a lot of controversy partly because most people agreed nobody in their right mind would pay money to play a forum game, and partly because some people argued that it broke forum guidelines.

(My screenshots of the nexus guy seem to have gone missing, unfortunately.)

Based on what others have told me, I believe the person you're talking about is the same person currently doing forum games under the username "roseheart".

PTW.

Been here since 2010.  Much nostalgia.  Not much to say on the subject, though.

I've been on the internet for 22 years, and this is by far the longest I've ever socially frequented one place.  Before this, there was an IRC network I hung out on for about 4 years (first place I ever settled into at age 13), and I've not stuck around anywhere else longer than 2.

And I've never been half as involved as most of you.  Never touched forum games.

Looks like I've been around since the middle of 2011, which is actually earlier than I thought.  I thought I joined in 2012, but I think that was just when I first started playing in community games and really became engaged with DF.

Add me to the list of people who don't feel like an integral part of the community, but who still recognizes the vast majority of posters here.  I don't really participate in casual conversations here, so I always felt more like an outsider who occasionally posted answers to questions in the DF related boards.  But, then, I don't play as much as I used to, so I'm usually not even able to really contribute there anymore.

I want to let you guys know I love all of you.

[SOLDIER First]

Gaaaaay

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Gosh, thank you, I love you as well JoshuaFH

Wow, everyone is so gay around here! Just lighthearted and carefree and gay! Hahahaha. AHAHAHAHA! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!

Forum newbie, 'bout two years I think, but I'm PTWing anyway because I enjoy reading about the shenanigans that happened when this forum was younger. If anyone finds a link/screenshot of either the Nexus or Patreon forum game thread, could you please send it to me?

Call me selfish, but I really want to become one of those ole and respected forum elders who are known by pretty much everybody for their accomplishments. I'd like being well known someplace, if only on a Internet forum and not in real life.

Accomplishment and forum-specific fame don't go hand in hand. You can and often do have one without the other.

Someone like Meph or Japa would be well known on DF Reddit, I imagine, even if they didn't post there. Neovenik however...

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Coming up on eight years.

Not an elder known for my accomplishments, but still my favorite community, with people are accomplished in pretty much everything. You need art advice, boom, you have it. You need writing advice, boom. Math advice, boom. Life advice, BOOM. I really appreciate being in the Ivy League of internet forums.

[Trekkin]

the Ivy League of internet forums.

Yeah, when I said earlier that the arguments and vitriol and general ugliness have always been a part of this place? Sentiment like this is why.
