Man

Hard to believe the Great Time Warp of TSF happened all the way back in 2012. Can still remember how distraught Tenshi and I were over 95% of our posts getting purged.

http://namcotales.wikia.com/wiki/The_Posts_That_Never_Were

I'd normally ask where all the time went but y'know...



P.S. Somehow the old wiki is STILL around.

Kinda sad to think about. At this point we're just a tiny handful that's left, clinging desperately to what remains of a community that meant a great deal to us. I'd like to speak more positively about the current state of Reservia, but it's the truth.

You guys are the first online community that I opened up to in a decade, and I'm sure glad I did.

That seems not so long ago, but it really is. I'm really glad I stayed, we really are a bit of a depressed (in terms of numbers and activity not mood) community, but its cozy. I truly appreciate everyone that's stayed! It's bittersweet thinking about it. I'm in vague contact with a couple old members through twitter (I like posts sometimes...lol), I sometimes wish we got some new energy here. There would be some trade-offs but the old crowd would still be just as cozy because of the shared old timerness I think.

That wikipage gave me violent flashbacks to my own hormonal/emotional reprehensible behaviour when it came to trolls (and general snarky people) before the crash and of quezcatol. Darn quezcatol, that was a time where I observed things that definitely happened. I am so glad for quezcatol and other trolls like sarah the black mage and then also so very not at the same time.

Wow, those are some outdated member description pages. I love going through outdated stuff.

I was honestly upset too. I loved that place. Hard to believe it's been so long already. I very greatful for this place, though! Love you guys

May not be very active forum but those who have stuck around have strong bonds of friendship.

Good times

My brain trembles.

Wow, the Wiki I made turned 10 last month The days of my youth.

I think it was September 2013 that it died. I miss the place. The 2016 election reminded me of the Tales forum a few days ago, since it made me think of the Obama vs. Romney debates that went on back then. Conn, Britta, Sludgey. There's a lot of people it would be nice to still have around.

Four years ago, somehow it feels like a long time ago.

I feel the opposite. It seems like it wasn't too long ago that the reboot happened. To think, my daughter hadn't even been born. Time does weird things sometimes. Regardless, I am happy to be here and glad you guys haven't kicked me out.

Time do feel like it's accelerating as you growth older.

It was 5 years ago than I moved to Alberta and I remenber it like it happened yesterday!

Man is right, where does the time go? I remember spending many a night just glued to my old computer seat, going on the old forums and just ... doing whatever. Browsing through topics while listening to music or watching anime. Chatting, goofing, arguing, anything'ing with many kind and interesting characters. Never fully sure if I was in on any joke with Abicion. That was a big part of my youngin life.

Haha, wow, I forgot we had a wiki for back in the old days. Sad I don't have an entry. -_- And surprising since I had such an ego here and there, I probably woulda made my entry the greatest entry of all. With the greatest spelling errors of all and put in a "lawl" or an "xD" after every sentence. Heh, closest I found to something on me was when I looked at Varrius' entry and my name was in a meetup list. And THAT just brought up tons of memories, meeting him and Emma and Danny and Skythe and others at Anime Expo once or twice.

I feel a tad sad now. I rarely talked with many people outside of the forums as much as i woulda liked. Occasionally on msn chat, aim, etc back then. Then when it went away, I tried to stick around on here, but I just didn't see many of the people i knew around as much anymore. Sludgey, MasterT, Shadowfox, Jean (oh, there you are, hi), Yink, Cyke, Conn, etc. And real life really needed me here and there and I'm BARELY on chat anymore. Now i come here every once in a while maybe just out of obligation. Or if i like something recently and need an excuse to make and flaunt a new avatar/signature set. heh.

Oh well. Past is past. I think everybody agrees those Were interesting times in those old forums. Otherwise we wouldn't even have These forums and be talking about them. Haha, and I do appreciate this one, even if I'm not on as much. I'm old now, I forget this place sometimes. lawl xD ~

Part of me is actually glad a lot of my old stuff is dead and buried so it can't tarnish my online presence, but nowadays I have my tumblr as my go-to place for constant self-embarrassment, so I guess it evens out.

some things are never gone

and by that I mean for some reason I still have this

I remember making an epic skit-adventure with Miss.Suiky

Why did Lunar Eclipse do that

Been a long time, once in a blue moon I'll check here for nostalgia reasons. It's been a really long time since TSF days.

The wikia is so cringe oh man oh geez.

I am kind of relieved hearing that you lot had a cringe-worthy wikia, detailing all the crazy stuff that happened on the forums. And here, I was thinking I was the only one doing that on whatever forums I was apart of back in 2010 and such.

Blah. I still am annoyed that the wiki continues to exist.

Go figure it outlasted the site it was about by a substantial margin.

Forums in general are done and gone. Most people these days would rather use social networking instead for their internet fix.
