When the wad of cash is firmly in my pocket, shweetheart.

:p Killjoy.

Thank God I can still afford a butler...and a nice 5,000 square foot house to rattle around in. (Where I can murder annoying bible thumpers with bowling pins without interference and spend my day target practicing inside)

:p Killjoy.

That's my job these days, you know. We Moderators try to eliminate fun wherever we go. ;)

Errinundera is eligible for membership.

Actually Errinundera was created on Christmas Eve in 2002, a couple of months after NationStates was first unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

Back then the forum was on Max Barry's own server. I let the nation die in late 2003, not long before the forum was moved to Jolt.

This post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=4929896&postcount=72) in the archives from 23 July 2003 is clearly one of mine. (So is the one immediately before it but you have to take my word for that.) It's the oldest one I can find in the archives.

I resurrected Errinundera on the date you see on the left.

I woke up this morning and felt old. Is that normal?

I guess I'm old enough now.

Funny...

When I was but a wee one all I wanted to do was get older so I could go play with the big kids. Finally getting old though I find myself underwhelmed like the second time I watched the Transformers movie.

Maybe that's the wisdom and maturity kicking in? :p

I'm the reincarnation of Kulikovo which was founded in '05 if my fading memory suits me correctly. I would like to join, there's some people on that list that I had memorable times on NS with.

But it's only NSG so I'm not worried.

Still millions of posts, tens of thousands of threads. Many, many posters will be erased from history. It's kinda like Stalinism. Erasing the past and the like.

When I look at threads like these, I realise how rarely I post.

*wipes tear from his eye*

Amen, brother, amen...

Thank you, thank you. I have a future career as a preacher if I ever decide I'm poor.

So, Poet Laureate Ruffy, what other threads are we to save from the Great Forum Purge of 2008?

I was going to say this one, but I'm not sure how that works, because this is still active.

We must save the important social threads!

Edit: I'm too lazt to make this post into a poem.
Edit2: Too lazy to fix that typo.

I thought of the same thing. I asked Fris for clarity. Hopefully he will grant it to me, in his infinite wisdom and kindness.

I'd post this in Fris's thread, but I'm scared of rule #8.

So do you still qualify if you've been deated once or twice and stopped posting for a year or two?

I'm totally cool with it, I never really could stand NSG. I'm an II guy who comes here out of boredom.

'course ya do. You are officially inducted into the Fossils Club as a Senior Member, because of oldliness.

For the record, I was around before Jolt.

And thinking about it...I've probably been deated more than anyone still around from back then. I should get a metal.

I grant you the title of Knight-Commander of the Order of the Flaming Spam.

EDIT: This means you get to wear a shiny medal and a silky, colorful sash.

God of Spam is my usual title, if you'd rather use that.

Bow before my awesomeness.

No, Knight-Commander of the Order of the Flaming Spam will suffice for you.

Now, you may add OFS in small capitol letters to the end of your name in all situations so everyone may know the honor that has been bestowed on you.

A reminder for all fossils; We have shuffleboard out near the pool area tomarrow. Bring your skimpiest suits!

I REMEMBER WHEN THIS WERE ALL FIELDS!

Ayup.

I retain my unofficial title: Spam-o-Matic :)

Fuckin Old people...gawd, lol...

Man, if only i hadnt abandoned Hemorrage, lol....

Yo! A bit of recognition will tide me over.

Yo! A bit of recognition will tide me over.

*recognizes*

Also, all fossils are elegible for nominating others for the Order of the Flaming Spam, our resident honor. All must be approved by me, of course. Being Dictator and all.

Can I join? Are there club perks?

Is this the place for me to be, or do I consider myself to be too young at heart to affiliate myself with the geriatric?

Shuffleboard, use of house Woman, compantionship with those your age. All good perks.

And creamed celery. Always creamed celercy

Is this the place for me to be, or do I consider myself to be too young at heart to affiliate myself with the geriatric?

Looking up your medical records, I would say your heart is far from young. Did I mention the free defibrillator in every room?

Free defibrillators and creamed celery, how can one say no to such magnificent perks? Granted, you had me at 'shuffleboard'.

You know I'm a rehabiliated revolutionary. I used mount regular insurections against the Generalite Royalty. Though I think that may have happened under my puppet Popular Fronts. I will literally drop dead in shock if ANYONE recognises that name.

Oooh, and anyone else remember the invasion on the NationStates forum by General. I escaped with just a warning.

Parratoga is back folks...alive and well and living in Hell with me haha :)

Who let the kid in? He has been here for less than a year, this thread is not for him!

Lol, gravedig.

It seems that it's more correct to compare the resurrection of this thread with the awakening from a coma.

This thread makes me feel young again...

...sorta :p


Offtopic...AARGH why have they changed the awesome tongue smiley (yes the one with wagging tongue)! :soap:

Aw, I want to join...i'm a half a year late! NOOOOOOO!

Hah, erase me and I'll come back as the unholy undead poster, with unposts in unthreads about uninteresting unstuff!

or something like that...

EDIT: uh wait, that was a comment to a post two pages back...I'm really getting old :-/

I've been trying to forget the eighties, and you want me to remember them again? Bah. :p
Two words.
BIG HAIR.

I have a very serious, and highly important question!*

*question is nither serious nor important.*

If I was born in 1984, which I was, and the eighties never happened, which they didn't, when was I actually born?

Kids.
I graduated high school in the 80s.

Kids? That's what I spent the 80s having.

I graduated high school in the 80s.

So did I. and then I got the brilliant idea of going back to school, so I've just spent the last few years surrounded by kids some of whom weren't even born when I graduated.:headbang:

I'm eligible: founded in early 2003 and revived in 2005 (though I usually post as the Archregimancy these days, which I consider my 'new' nation even though it's also eligible as a 2005 foundation).

The very fact that you dont know me proves that you shouldn't even be posting in this thread :rolleyes:
Beeks was an old-timer when I first came to General. In fact, I think he got one of his more spectacular bans right around the time I showed up.

Listen to your Beeker, nooblets. ;)

this is an old-timer i don't see much of.... :hail:

Dont you think its a crime...time after time after time living in a bottle

You think THAT's bad?
I'm starting my 14th year in high school in September.

The very fact that you dont know me proves that you shouldn't even be posting in this thread :rolleyes:

So you were banned before I became active on this forum, which apparently makes you a manly man. Interesting to know that you were one of the earlier agitators in this place... does that make you the Mother Of All NationStates Forum Trolls? If so, go grab yourself a cold Mountain Dew and a bag of Cheetos to celebrate your notoriety!

Hmmm.

Age != Wisdom

Not necessarily. Many people who manage to become geriatric without gaining much insight and/or enlightenment. Being old doesn't mean that you automatically can't be an idiot anymore.

I can learn, really....:wink:

Pardon me for jumping in, but wtf does "manly man" have to do with what he said?

This isn't a thread about who's got the biggest dick, it's a thread about NS General Old Timers. If you think Forum Old Timer equates to Manly Man, then I guess I'm a bull dyke and didn't know it.

;) But ONLY a little more dykely than me. ;)

yay Tribes is back again!

no idea what you're on about though :$

That's probably because you're old and confused, just like most other people attributing to this thread. Mind you, it could be worse... we could be young and confused. That's just awkward!

Awww, I'm a relative newb...

But mold from the 21st century just isn't as good as mold from the early days of the internet, when Mr. T and David Hasselhof threatened to eat your balls.
