Old Fogies/Old Lurkers Check In Thread

Postby Zarn Ishtare » Tue Dec 04, 2012 10:05 pm

If you've been at CAA for more years than the current President has been in office....

If you've been at CAA before IPod's became the size of a nanite....

If you remember Development, or RevDoc; if you remember that time when CAA was making a game, or that other time we made a comic, or that other time....


Anyway, if you've been here for multiple years, check in! Let your fellow old fogies know you still exist!

THAT MEANS YOU, MR. SMARTY PANTS. And CobaltAngel, and Bunny too, if they're still here.

I remember when CAA had an arcade. And I beat some dude who challenged me in it. I think his name was Parn Mishtare or something like that? My memory is foggy these days.

I remember when CAA had just barely transferred from being a Yahoo group. djnoz was still around. There were so few threads that I looked at more than the title of new ones.

Old fogie checking in - '04 for the win!

I don't think I ever used the arcade, but I remember it being around. At least, not enough to really remember.

Although I'm not really that old and haven't been here as long as you guys, I've been around this site for about 5 1/2 years, since '07. I do think I vaguely remember the CAA arcade and had some fun with that.

That seems to be something that happened in the switch. Looks like a bunch of threads got lost or something. My initial post count dropped by about 800 posts, then went up by 200.

You've definitely been around long enough to be considered a fogey. Me, I'm not a super old fogey like Mr Smarty Pants, Cobalt Angel, Bunny, or Lochabar Axe.


Wow. I just rattled off the names of all the folks I remember from my first RP here in 04. By memory.

I am an old fogie.

You predate MSP. I just checked. Congratulations Zarn, you've been here longer then MSP. You are more of an Old Foggie then he will ever be.

I wish Revdoc would show up. or Cephas. Or Anna Mae (one of the four people to ever give me a poetry review on a regular basis). Or Puritan.


Hmm.....

So who remembers the original website, after it was a newsgroup, when it was blue and it had that main character from FF8 on it? I found that website, and then got directed to this one....well, the old version of this one.

Not sure if this was the original website but I remember back when we had that front page that displayed staff posts/news on it...those were the days.

You're probably thinking of the user currently named Ingemar.

Or Anna Mae (one of the four people to ever give me a poetry review on a regular basis).

She lost regular internet access when she went to Brazil, then got hit with a bunch of college busyness when she returned. Doubt she'll show up.

Since Yuki gets to be a fogey, I get in by default!

*whips out a cane and pokes Peanut incessantly*

I remember the arcade. I was determined to beat the Tetris score for a while. Can't remember if that was owned by UC or Cap'n Nick. Regardless, I failed, and it disappeared.

Wasn't CAA blue at some point? I might be remembering a different website but I feel like CAA was blue at some point.

And I think I whiled away many an hour on tetris.

I had the high score on either Space Invaders or that ball-game that was like a weird version of pong, can't remember which.

I remember the arcade. I felt woefully inadequate to bother playing most of them, but I think there was one I felt good with, and played it a number of times. It's funny how people expect me to be good at games because I talk about them so much.

I remember DJ Noz aka (I think?) straylight. I also remember Inkhana... And Volt. I feel like I may have had a hand at ruining his life by encouraging him to go to Full Sail, so that's not the happiest memory. OK, so maybe I"m being dramatic, but WESTWOOD for me was a huge burden because of loans and a degree that doesn't get me far. I had the benefit of having family close enough to Westwood that I could live for free. I doubt Volt had that privilege at Full Sail, so that's even more debt racked up and I don't think he ever got into the industry...

Inky...now there's a gal I miss. And Straylight, who really needs to come back. Heck, the old folks are thinner and thinner on the ground these days.

Volt...I remember him. not much though.

Hey, I haven't seen EireWolf around in foreeever.

I'm sure EireWolf is around somewhere. She's probably looking over Mith's shoulder and laughing at all of us...or at least that's my theory.

A lot of the old mods went inactive a few years ago. I can't remember if Gypsy ever came back or not but she was one of them. Some probably still lurk...maybe...
