It's like "You know you've played too much NS when...", but different (yay old fart threads)!

- You remember why Gameplay, Got Issues? and the Archive forum was created.
- You know the significance of Thedoc, Poskrebyshev, and InfernoIce.
- You lost posts to the great General Forum purges.
- Kitsylvania vs. Marathon.
- You remember the Atlantic Alliance.
- You've read parts of the Amerigan Slave War.
- UN resolution numbering? What's that?
- You recall Enodia, the first UN moderator.
- Telegram limit: 10.
- There were only 50 issues.
- You didn't get a custom pretitle when your nation hit 500 million.
- Hitting 1 billion was kind of a big deal.
- Post rank: "Postmaster General"
- Bah, everybody's a "Powerbroker".

I miss that drama. Quality.

Or how about Paratoga and her frequent personal crises? "Ooh, this time I'm dying of cancer!" "Wait, no, this time I've been in a car wreck!" "Oh, and White Pride, by the way!"

For the record, I was actually part of the Atlantic Alliance, remember when Myrth wasn't a mod (curse you, Myrth, *shakes fist*), the creation of founders, Lazarus and the Rejected Realms. the old server, the Jolt move and Forum 7.

Bah. 50 issues? Kids these days! I remember back when we had 30 issues! And they kept repeating..... I received "Corporations Demand Political Say" four times in a row once, for instance.

You remember the days when...

There were no database errors but it took a damn long time on the old forums to post anything during peak hours.

Anything and everything was posted in General. Word games... homework advice... anything and everything that is now banned or sent to the nether regions of "SPAM".

A lucky person would get a custom forum title.

Bah, I remember back when writing even a couple of lines of description was considered good roleplay, because most people just posted a huge list of their steel penii and "post losses". In fact, that was why I left, originally. (The General Forum wasn't even on my radar at that time.)

Okay, now I'll stop talking about how much more l33t I am because I joined earlier than you did. I promise.

No kidding. I also tend to laugh at some of what gets not just reported as flaming these days, but warned. Man, you had to be tough in the old days, because some posters would just get personal and creative, especially since to drop f-bombs you really had to work at it.

Would you say it was better back then, though?

Would you say it was better back then, though?

In early 2003, especially before mods and regional founders, NS was at the other extreme. Personal attacks, spam, the massive "debate" wars that are now but fond memories, and at least one or two people who seemed inordinately fond of posting rather inappropriate pictures. Now, people get upset over small things (as Nazz noted). I suppose this reached an ideal midpoint after the 2004 US elections, after which the forum became progressively mellower. Likely all the rulebreakers got bored, leaving the mods with nothing to do. ;)

I could be getting mixed up with other internet forums I participate in as well, but as far as I remember, that's what shaped my opinion of NS today.

Not at all. I do find it interesting, though, that we're able to drop f-bombs (with rare exceptions) now but the flaming has calmed down. I like some of the pre-emptive action that the mods have taken to head off the problems--the post 2004 election is a good example. It's a far more pleasant place to be now.

You watched the Amerigan War unfold in front of you.

I very, very faintly remember CACE. That was back in the first months after I joined, when I was still interested in RP and not just the lazy General forum-whore I am today.

-You remember Forum 7.
-Once a nation was gone, it was GONE. None of this resurrection business.
-You lived in fear of the mighty Sword of DEAT, wielded by the mods without mercy.

Oh, and Reploid Productions should definitely bring back the Custom Title Contests. Those were the shizzle.

Do you reckon I could have Beeker back rep?

feels strange in this new skin :cool:

Somehow I don't think you'll be getting any of your old nations back, Beeks. We have this rule about not resurrecting nations deleted for rules violations.

She was also known as Labrador, and a half dozen other puppets if I recall correctly. Very loud on GLBT issues, would often go off on long, impassioned rants filled with insults, curse words, and Caps Locks in full effect. And she was given a lot of leeway before she was eventually terminated with extreme prejudice, probably more than she should have been.

I did help in the Generalite Spam Invasion of the NS forum, yeah. But that was my last warning. I've (mostly) been a good boy since then.

I still spam sometimes, but since Jolt has a Spam forum there's no need to do it in General.

It's like "You know you've played too much NS when...", but different (yay old fart threads)!

- You remember why Gameplay, Got Issues? and the Archive forum was created.
- You know the significance of Thedoc, Poskrebyshev, and InfernoIce.
- You lost posts to the great General Forum purges.
- Kitsylvania vs. Marathon.
- You remember the Atlantic Alliance.
- You've read parts of the Amerigan Slave War.
- UN resolution numbering? What's that?
- You recall Enodia, the first UN moderator.
- Telegram limit: 10.
- There were only 50 issues.
- You didn't get a custom pretitle when your nation hit 500 million.
- Hitting 1 billion was kind of a big deal.
- Post rank: "Postmaster General"
- Bah, everybody's a "Powerbroker".

Add your own!- You remember Beeker creating the anti-Nazi brigade.. and jumping al over the place. :cool:
- You remember Paz da tiger girl.. :D

That, my dear Pancake, is because I was going into retirement from NS when I got called on to be a Mod.

A very long time ago. I might be able to find the threads with a Google search, but I doubt it. I suspect they were eliminated in the last purge on the old forum that cost me around 500 posts.

When you knew who Beeks was reffering to when he typed "Paz". Oddly enough "Paz" means "peace" in some language. I've forgotten which one.

When you refered to all the people you normally saw posting when you did as your "Night Crew".

I liked Labrador. She was one classy lady.



You know you’ve been around NS awhile, when:

You remember when Sketch was the dominator in the economic UN reports.

You remember the regional wars between the USSR and North Alerica.

You remember a wild spammy world without Mods, but with lots of Nazis.

When you wanted someone gone from your region you had to either make them cry with better insults or wait for them to get bored of their own idiocy.

You remember the last time the Grendels posted on the NS Forum. Damned system bug that was keeping me from posting finally let up today, after months of mods trying to figure it out.
