Credit Punch for dusting me out of the long lost file cabinets of the catacombs within the internet. I had completely forgotten AB by now. He mentioned some stupid chat box message which I went to look at, and this topic caught my eye as I just glanced over the place. So what happened to this place, I mean really. Did Abandonias balls drop off? It's....so quiet and saddening compared to what it once was.
I remember when Abandonia was not just a place for news and abandoned PC games, but a place to go and chat with some of the most unique and crazy people on the internet. Dang. Anyone remember what I was like. Little monster, lol. I'd probably have a heart attack and URINATE my pants if I read any of my old posts here. I can't even believe the change in this place. It went from everyone being friendly to everyone fighting to everyone just not having anything left to say. Reading this topic brought back some heavy memories. I sat through a lot of the most heavy hitting incidents in this board, ever since I lurked on it in it's first year. I remember being friends with Indignus. I never understood the slack he got. Same for Einherjar, though now I can see he enjoyed the debates. So did I. Man, seeing everyone get so mad was funny as snot. He's one of the only people I still know from the old days. I was a friend to a lot of people, even when most of my friends here were enemies with each other. But looking back I cna't understand why I was so popular with all the neer-do-ells. I remember Freefreddy especially. I'll give a shout to that mullet sporting fart; hope he's doing well. I remember being a mod here and making a steaming pile out of that job. I remember when everyone said Danny252 and I were two kids not old enough for the responsibility, and they were right. I never did any work. I remember Titan, and Data, and Picard was it? I also remember they terrified me. Until Picard got that David Hyde Pierce avatar. I just laughed every time I saw him from then on. I remember Titan's nude avatar that I had to surf past really fast in case my mother saw it. Thanks Titan for creating a lot of harrowing situations in my house. I remember Data as the one who was stupid enough to give me any position of power. Thanks for giving me a chance though, but you frighten me dude. I remember the arts board, and how jealous of Void I used to be. I remember Tom and him tied in artistic ability. I remember Seb as being one of the people I had the greatest chemistry with on here. Man, what a sick sense of humor. You're sick, man! lol So what. I have the greatest and scariest stories out of all of you! I know the most AB history out of all of you too! Haah! So you know what! I survived Abandonia all the way, chanchos! Vive la Abandonia! |

Nice to see you here again though, Fawful. Quite some memories connected with you for me, too. That mullet sporting fart is doing well, thanks. Hope you do, too |

Being called stupid and scary at the same time. Interesting....
That might be a very stupid move on your part as that might turn me scary

Its funny that all we have to talk about that seems really interesting is drama. Believe me, drama is not interesting. Well, anyway this topic holds my attention. After all, I'm one of AB's memories. :amused: I'll stick around long enough for this gooey sh...ow of emotion to hold my interest then I'll split. |

It's almost sad that we can't somehow just restart abandonia the way it used to be. Now that there is the Studentis problem and the whole ugly ass forum.
Pity as I am sure if this forum improved a lot of people would come back. I know I would. |

As for the design, nothing is static AB's design has changed before and will again, one day. As for Studentis, my guess is that too can and will be sorted out one day. In the mean time, I'll rather go about no business thinking it'll get better.

I agree, MM. It will change again, someday... We can just hope it will be a change for the better.

Wow, awesome thread here. It's a shame I didn't see it earlier due to my pre-Crimbo activities.
My very early times were dominated by the Riddles and Brain Teasers thread and my Jokes one (which last time I checked was still the biggest in x3 Blah). I remember my Grim Fandango avatar that loads of new members started using as it popped up in the list of stock avatars you could pick from in the old layout. I also remember us spending yonks on a terrible riddle Titan posted about a guy getting poked in the neck by his wife while asleep in church and his head falling off... As for the drama, it's always been there. Tom v. Titan doesn't count as it was just a bit of fun, and fun it was. FreeFreddy was the biggie and I remember how angry I got with the admins about how it was handled but there were smaller events, the founding of the dissidents forum, Tom v. Tiki, etc. Ironically, the drama is pretty much the only thing that hasn't changed. Great to see punch and Fawful in this thread, they're two of the people I know best from this forum and I still talk to them both occasionally. I can't thank the old school admins, Titan and Data enough for all the work they've done over the years either. Good to see you too Freyja, you're a genuine oldfag, remember when we all thought you were male since you had an AC/DC avatar and we all assumed that Kiddi didn't know any girls? |

Anybody remembers a guy named "PrejudiceSucks". I remember him from the old times, don't know why though.
