What ever happened to the good ol' "fishy stick" : Othor Games

The best Fishy Sticks come from the Imperial Library. I don't eat them from anywhere else.

^ you can find new members as easily as finding a cliff racer in morrowind in that forum. haha

I have never even heard of the fishy stick, but I joined last year i think? ya last year. How old is the fishy stick tradition anyway?

At least since 2007 when I joined. But I think it goes back to the forums founding...but don't quote that on me.

The problem was that they became a spam fest, topics were being derailed and the mods cracked down on it. Whilst the forums were smaller, new members were easily recognised when they posted in the Morrowind, and to a lesser extent, the Oblivion forums, the tradition was a good one and a little bit of fun. Now, with the number of new members joining the whole process would very quickly become chaotic.

Add in, for me at least, the fact a new account does not equate to a new member. I go sick of people saying "thanks, but this is my 2nd-5th account here and I was already given one". I just decided to let it die, though I love the idea of tradition, it's time had come, for me at least.

The rate of new members is too high to be able to give all of them a fishy stick. After the Skyrim hype is over it should return as an easily managed tradition.

Ran out. Too many new members. Production couldn't keep up. Also, some were complaining of mercury poisoning.

Yeah, how can we make enough of them to give every new member in the Skyrim section a fishy stick!

Eh, but I don't remember getting one when I came to the fourms 2 years ago. I think thats cause I went straight to the TES Fan Fiction section and made that my home, so It wasn't an are where fishy Sticks were being distributed.
