I was thinking, because of the "Best posters on NS" thread about who remembers the olden days. In particular, who remembers, Marathon, Sheol, and Philandrea?

*raises hand* Hell, I even remember Volcano.

The original or the 40,000+ post continuation?

I was thinking, because of the "Best posters on NS" thread about who remembers the olden days. In particular, who remembers, Marathon, Sheol, and Philandrea?

Who?

I remember Marathon and Philandrea...I think I missed Sheol's posts. *Wonders who the first ever delegate of The Pacific was* (I remember who was delegate when Nianacio was founded.)
I even remember Volcano.The club?

Who?

They were three posters who made some noise then got deleted for various reasons.

I remember Marathon and Philandrea those guys made such a lovely couple, kidding aside Philandrea was here as Spherical Objects until recently so a lot more people will remember him I would think. Sheol I dont remember ever talking to.

The original or the 40,000+ post continuation?

The Original.

Well my prediction is basically coming true, in particular that no one would remember Sheol. Sheol was, in my opinion, one of the best educated and most interesting posters ever to frequent this forum, only problem was he had a habit of discussing issues which the mods were not entirely amicable towards and loved to ignore warnings and threats.

I vaguely remember Marathon

The Original.

Me too. It really annoyed me when Basenji came and said he was "shutting down" the Volcano despite the fact that he didn't start it and wasn't even its "leader" if it could be said to have one. It's too bad Dania wasn't around to say "no."

Ooh wait- was Sheol=Satan?

No, but Satan was another interesting character and they worked as a team sometimes.

Yah Satan was cool- he went out in style.He never came back tho :(

Fear not, I'm still here.

Who could have guessed?

Way to not leave your nation in vacation mode dude!

Sadly, too, too true. But like effluence, I still rise back stinking the place out.

I do I do!! :D I even remember you!

Not that many people do, but that's alright, it's sort of the way I like it. I can pop in and out of threads leaving only one message and not have to worry about it at all.

It's unfortunate how people talk before getting their facts straight. Bas in fact WAS the beginner of the Volcano, and Danya had nothing to do with it. If one were to look back at the very first post in the very first Volcano, it says that it is OWNED BY BAS. But that's alright, we all get things wrong every once in a while.

And just so you all know, Danya was there on the last day of the volcano. She said her goodbyes, and I recall saying she wanted to give me something special. Although it was a while ago, so my memory may be off, but she hardly made an effort to protest me shutting down. Might have said she didn't like it. As if I cared.

And how the hell did you get the idea that Danya led the volcano? Are we still talking about the same volcano? ;)

God I remember a lot of people. Fun, fun, happy times. Just not the same any more. :(

It's not the same anymore.
We used to have a bundle of more laughs and topics were...............less.........more of the same.

meh, I can only do so much with so little help from all these party-killers.

We gotta find all the hilarious people of NS, tie em up together, and force them to spew all their jokes upon NS and make everyone laugh.

And then elect me Absolute Leader.

Philandrea, and Marathon. Sheol was before my time, but I do remember the Original Volcano, plus its various successors.

I also remember beekers anti-nazi brigade, Satan, And the lost "poets" thread.

I remember the names but they basically left before I became very active on the forums which was when Paz had 4 or more threads about her constantly on the first page, so I had little to zero contact with any of them :(

When were the days before the mods? Was I around and not posting? I didn't get around to exploring the forums until Julyish.

Sigh, yeah. Didn't she come back and leave again recently?

I hope everyone else remembers my best buddy Snubis.

Marathon left right around the time i joined, so i only got passing contact with him. Sheol and i never interacted that much. but Phil...i remember Phil. he and i were vicious enemies for a while, due to his abrasive style and lack of concern with concrete facts, but when he mellowed down a bit we ended up being friends. by the time he was Spherical Objects we were positively chummy.

oh and Demented Opression posting picture of herself in every possible thread

Whatever happened to Normack, King of General?

or neon lights

I liked Neon

/end rant before this turns into "old timers story thread"

i know most of them, beeker, marathon, neutered sputniks, spherical etc, it's just not thesame anymore. :(

It truly is not.

How about Spaam?

Stop remniscing about this stupid shit. Memory of your personal life is for assholes who need to find lives.

Aww, do you feel left out?

remembering old friends is something that mature individuals often do, and sharing experiences about mutual friends is a form of bonding that often occurs within complex social relationships. i know that is difficult to understand for somebody who has no friends, maturity, or complex social relationships, but you would do better to not advertise your shortcomings.

What ever happened to General, King of Normack? :(

having something to reminise about means we have atleast had lives.

lol my post was a much shorter way of saying what you said, and at a level which the average troll will atleast understand :)

do you enjoy making silly people feel stupid by confusing the hell out of them?

I think mine was better because I basically said the same thing while being condescending.

But I always think what I do is better.

And going a little closer to the present, the good old days with Big Mad Vikings.

I remember when I thought Incertonia was a girl and Bottle was a guy....

I remember when I thought Incertonia was a girl and Bottle was a guy....
and no one knew what Kitsylvania was :) ...... I still dont

I vaguely remember Marathon

Me too...the name rings a bell at least.

yes, Big Mad Vikings, and the old server :(

ah the old server which almost reduced me to tears oh how I loathed it.


I must say I miss word games, sure the "last post wins" got old but others were good fun

ah the old server which almost reduced me to tears oh how I loathed it.


Me too. It drove me up a wall. Originally I thought it was just my sucky computer sucking, but then there were tons of complaints about it. But these new forums don't have the charm of the old ones. The format and color scheme and stuff is too cold. It's like steel.

Yeah the old forums were sucky but oh so much prettier.

Well, at least I havent double posted in a couple of months :)

Ouch. I got 4 or 5 once...

At first I put it down to the fact that I was on dialup. Says something for the forum though that i'm still posting here :)

yeah quadruple was my worst, but it happened way to often
and I had an uncapped cable connection

Yeah. I originally chalked it up to my 733mhz, 128 mb RAM supercomputer. Eventually I found out it wasn't solely because of the suckputer.

Hehe...700mhz, 128mb RAM PC here.

Hehe...700mhz, 128mb RAM PC here, lol.

Yeah. Now I have the Godputer (I actually named it that for all the network ID purposes).

Heh. I still have the same one. :(

I have you beat by two. I think it was in one of the hug stores.

I used to multi-post, and get horribly frustrated due to trying to post in the early afternoon. These servers are better, but the forum has lost most of its charm.

Indeed. It was nice to be able to take a break from the debating and relax with a few nice chaps and chapesses in a chat thread. I very much miss that.

I remember Playing with Roan, Luna, CP and beeks: The night crew.

Hell I am marrying one of them.

*Thanx for the setup Mezza* :p

I remember...Shipping threads off to Cuba, the Food War, AMF vs MC, and gold-plated nuclear chemical biological ICBMs.
Marathon left right around the time i joined, so i only got passing contact with him.He did? I didn't really come back to NS until around February or March '03 (with a wonderful new server!), and I remember having been around for quite a while when he was deleted.
and no one knew what Kitsylvania was :) ...... I still dontI think Kitsylvania was a male, but there were lots of jokes about him being female.

but Phil...i remember Phil. he and i were vicious enemies for a while, due to his abrasive style and lack of concern with concrete facts, but when he mellowed down a bit we ended up being friends. by the time he was Spherical Objects we were positively chummy.

Bollocks.
Lack of concern with concrete facts? You flatter yourself.
Mellow? Mellow is my middle name. I am mellow. Mellow is what I am. They call me mellow yellow.

About people on the internet? That's a complex relationship? I think it's you who needs to find a life.

The limitations inherent in the medium are what grant the complexity - which is more complex: a free-form poem, or a sonnet produced within traditional constraints?
