Book the XVIIth: Ode to the Green Dragon

[Gorbin]

i was the last active member to join

[bacon]

I think my first post on there was before I actually registered. The GEF was what got me into forum making and when I learned that I could make one for free (which boggled my mind at the time) I went right at it with Land of the Monkeys. My first post was asking Evan a question about something to do with forums. I joined a little while later. I can remember that it was then that I had a little conversation with Yogurt in the Cantina Place, and then I became head dude person of the Dark Jedi Place (which nobody ever joined by the way).

And then there was the time when there were so many mods that there were barely any users. I think Evan, Phoenix, me, Yogurt, Raditz, Jason (i think), and a couple of others were all mods and it was getting ridiculous to me, so I made a thread about it, and resigned. I remember Raditz didn't want to, don't remember Yogurt or Jason's stance on the issue. Anyways, it got better without so many mods.

Oh, and I remember when I first found the color code!!! On TFN, colors are the biggest thing to a newb ever, and I was all like woah, so I started to use it, and I gave it to Evan to. But this was a different code, just a color and glow featured one that would be used for awhile, until I figured out how to combine the invision and Proboard code so that it had a border and a background color and text-decorations and junk.

There was the time when raditz's board became so spammed up (not by raditz, he was trying to stop it) by me, I think, that the board was actually deleted, and a new one was set up. There was alot of stuff lost that time. Then the role-playing board was set up and it was popular, but then I got into school and killed myself in character because I didn't have time.

Oh, and there was also the time I committed user suicide because I was bored and left raditz and Yogurt all freaked out. I joined the next morning though. Raditz has got himself a sarcastic forum dedicated to my funeral... but it only had one post. I don't quite remember how it went, but I think I started a thread in which I threatened to delete myself because I was suicidial. And then yogurt and raditz were like 'No! Don't do it!' and I was- oh, wait, I remember why. I deleted myself because the forum was growing inactive and because I was bored.

Still searching my mind for more memory thingies...

I remember thinking about creating a forum, but thought I wouldn't need one because the GEF was all I really needed in one. After it died, I realized I had to do something about it, so my first site was born. And murdered. Well it was more of a slow, painful death.

[bacon]

Yeah, it wasn't until it died that the big forum-making spree really sprang up.

I bet I have atleast three hundred emails from Proboards telling me that my admin account for a board has been activated or something...

[bacon]

Looking at my email, the oldest board I've ever made, which I've long forgotten about, is extinct, but I have found a forum that was supposed to be the place but I guess I forgot my password.

The board was 'Our Board' and it was made for members of the JTC, SDO, and other J.W. Titus fans to gather together outside of TFN. It didn't last very long though.

I was the only member never to have colors or be a mod

[DDL]

I was the only main male poster that was never even a part of the GEF.

[bacon]

[FrostBite]

[ladyrwhen]

MONKEYSES PRECIOUS! #gollum#

[bacon]

Raditz, post your memoir about the GEF or whatever.

[RaditzSoldier]

What say you about these remarks?

[Gorbin]

Now dat's Silly

[RaditzSoldier]

I do remember not wanting to give up my mod position. A mod on an active board? That was like a highlight.

But I agree with Baxon on going crazy when I realized I could make a free forum...and without much effort, too. I instantly made Katana Threads, but I got little to no posts. Though KT is a failure, I learned something useful. It set me off on the ability to make good forums. Unfortunately, I only ever enjoyed brief activity in TG. But alas, I am here for Spamia!

I also must regret that I remember the spamming on my mod board. I was also the Games Board mod, but activity in that was a never-coming expectation. I do remember getting freaked when Baxon did suicide, but alas, he couldn't leave.

My newbish days of early on TFN are an ill-reflection that I am quick to forget. The R2D2 fanclub finally gave me a place where I "fit-in" ( ). I remember solo77 hated me in a mock rivalry sorta way. Wonder what's happened to the guy...

I was an instant fan of the laid-back RPG of GEF. However, in time, I did make the more serious RPG Crashland. That's when I coined the term "dragon boy" for Jason, who oh so hated it. Baxon died an early death, and I must say, I cared little.

Alas, I remember in both fond and unfond memories that of the GEF. Of the time both Yogurt and I when posting crazy in one mission, to the Clone Academy (though due to a typo, it got the actually more popular name Clone Acadamy). The original TF was introduced, and I remember thinking that Baxon was cwazy and just made a soon to fail board. I was right, as it died. But it rose from it's ashes. Here I am....in the "soon to die" site.

Whoa, lol. Good one "Michael"!

[bacon]

Nice.

[RaditzSoldier]

Yeah...now change the thread title back to Ode to the Green Dragon.

[bacon]

I will after I write an e-autobiography.

[RaditzSoldier]

Oh. Sounds incredibly fun.

[FrostBite]

Would, by any chance, this thread mark the transition in your faith in the forums?

[RaditzSoldier]

Why, hello Captaia. How do you fare this late morn, or should I correct myself to night?

Possibly.

[FrostBite]

I'm good Raditz... and how are you?

[RaditzSoldier]

Alive, if to count as of the least.

[bacon]

Just realized that raditz has reached the last of the posting ranks.

[RaditzSoldier]

Yes I have.
