Probably right you are Exorince. I've been here long as... Oh, I was gonna ask how you got Evil Monkey in there, but that's your avatar.

:P You wouldn't be the first to ask

I'm still waiting for GStaff to make the Evil Monkey title official so I can ditch the DIY avatar badge <_<

Well I've been here for a couple of years now (although I only signed up last August as you can see) and the general "community spirit distribution" if you will seems to be the same as on most other videogame forums I've been on: the boards dedicated to the videogames are populated mainly by people who really do the community no credit while the off topic board is where most of the oldbies who tend more towards respectful and calm conversation hang around.

I've been far less than impressed with the Skyrim board many times since it started up, but CD has always shone. It's just the way things are I guess.

Edit: I suppose what I was getting at is just that that's why there are always veteran members in the off topic discussion board - it's the nicest bit :3

:lol: I know right? I wonder how long we have to be here before we earn ourselves official titles. I hope it doesn't mean Patriarch or Arch-Patriach amount of posts, cause that'll take five more years

Go lurkers!

I came here for Morrowind, and after a few years I took a leave of absence. Then one day, a year (or two) ago, I just decided to check in on things over here. Now it seems I'm stuck again.

Not that I can complain, though. You guys are awesome! :foodndrink:

I agree on these!

I really love this forum, especially since people seem to respect other people's opinions. And even if someone does not respect another member's opinion they don't bluntly say something towards them about it. It is a great place to have great conversations. I love it here! :twirl:

I found BioWare's forum moderators to be a lot more strict with politics and religion than this place.

I know right? I really enjoy it because it allows me to be myself and profess my faith as I need to without being slapsticked by anyone. I mean goodness, they let me get away with a lot of it in my fics.

This is the only game forum I am part of. I have seen others and was not impressed.
I like the high level of activity, the rules, the layout, and of course my favorite game series is TES.
most members here seem like a really good bunch also :foodndrink:

even if they don't putti you will always be my evil monkey :hugs:

Well, I certainly don't plan on leaving this forum anytime soon.

Here's to looking forward to becoming an old fogey here :foodndrink:

...or maybe I'm already considered one :unsure:

I keep trying to get out, but they keep pulling me back in.






I'm attached to this place, and not in the good way, except when I am. Cheese for everyone!

Age aint nuthin but a number

You, a fogey?? No way, not that! oo:

Hmmmm, just over 2 years here and just about 11,600 posts, not to mention the thousands of hours spent on Beths games..... yeah, Beth has stolen my life, I want it back please.

You can always tell a good forum when you see one.

It's been a quite a while since I was active around here but it's always been a forum I come back to, and it's really nice to see familiar names when browsing the forums. It's always been a good community as far as I can remember with friendly and dedicated members and moderators, and adding the quality of Bethesda's releases it ain't easy to leave for good.

Some of us are just too old to be willing, or able, to adjust to a new hangout.

I'm coming I'm coming, don't rush me. I guess it's time for the 00 to represent, and if Nevember and Kir aren't up to the task that must leave me.

*ahem*

Behold new members for I am Hungry Donner. He who remembers when elderscrolls.com was a single placeholder image. He who remembers when the developers had normal member accounts. He who remembers when the forum color scheme was orange and black and you did not log in to post. He who posed in the secret forums Forum 8 Name and Forum 9 Name. He who remembers when fishy sticks were handed out by Captain Eldrad alone. He who remembers the duplicity of kathode and his alternate account Mr. X. He who remembers the highly censored developer reports of OH. He who participated in the "no playable Argonians and Khajiit in Morrowind" complaints and witnessed the "no werewolves in Morrowind" meltdown. He who remembers the thread corruption attacks. He who stood next to the mighty Hayt as the General Discussion forum was removed. He who was targeted by the Gay porm Night retaliation for closing GD, thus ensuring it's permanent removal. And He who requested that it's return so many months later be titled Community Discussion!


Oi!


And has an extant account? Blackhandjr. And has been active in 2011? ManaUser. This doesn't require a long memory of the forums, all it requires is a member search.

The first non-employee to register on the forums was kathode, who coincidentally would go on to intern at Bethesda, was one of the first two moderators, and was later hired full time (he's now a producer at 343 Industries). I have no clue who the second person was, but for many years Ilnevel was the oldest non-employee account on the forums.

Donner the old wise man who knows all


I've been here since 2002 or 2003, when Morrowind was released and use to just hit up those section of the fourms. I started coming here for information and help/to help others with Morrowind and during half my classes I had access to a computer with internet and was able to surf the intranet freely during class.

Anyone remember HETT? Whatever happened to that guy/robot?

Startup Error - 1962: No operating system found

Yeah, he was around when I first joined and I learned a lot of Morrowind stuff from him. I haven't seen him for, probably, a couple of years now. Very knowledgeable member and helped a great deal.

I was a poster on the GameFaqs Morrowind page for about a year before I joined here and he was just as active over there.

It seems strange that he just disappeared.

HETT? Heh.
That was almost his signature...Heh.
We used to cross paths a lot in H/S, but you're right, it has been awhile.
