Sirak Sazen · Official Nostalgia Thread

I started work on my entry for the SWF short story contest and decided to do it on Darth Kllius - my first ever RP character back in the days of Galaxy of the Force. Nostalgia. I can haz it.

Was anybody a part of that site?

Devrin

I was on it, but when it died, I went with it.

Sirak Sazen

I was there in the hayday. O God, here come the tears...

Lord Embeion

You mean Matas's site? lolol I ran it =p

Sirak Sazen

Yeah. Who were you?

Lord Embeion

Urwen

Might have been before your time. I joined and on my second day made my post that put me in the Admin seat. I was on there for some time then took a break.. came back got my Admin back =p. Left again and from there-on just randomly posted.

It was pretty active for awhile then the Jedi fell behind some and the Sith leader basically deleted us. I did enjoy my brief time as the Supreme Prophet. When we brought back the Jedi it was glorious. A time when me and Shadow were on friendly terms (lolol) the site became very active again. I was more into GoTF then I was Rebels/TDSL. After that it took a fall again.. but then the Grey Jedi came. Oh that reminds me I took back the Grand Master seat for a third time because the one they had gave away basically all of the Jedi planets to the Grey Jedi when they barely put any pressure on him. A month or so later it kinda fell off again and thats when I started randomyl popping in. It looks like Tanya and Ordo redid everything ( prolly the 5th time the site went through a reconstruction. Which reminds me that we had a domain for all of 1month. We also tried to remake the site with better templates on a better forum host but that never fully went through so we just revived the MFF site.). This was the only thing left that I found my username in "Grandmaster Urwen has kindly removed the karma feature for us."

ah! look at you! got me thinking about the past.

Xander Vos · Re: Oh, Sweet Memories...

Rive Caedo

I don't think I did anything on GotF, just Clash of the Force - of which I still didn't do much.

Neither are very memorable - their histories so much briefer than Rebels. Ships passing in the night Razz

Dakoth

Galaxy of the force? More like nebulae of suck.

Xander Vos

I think one of them, or something seperate, existed at one point, where we could actually battle each other, and I spent hours making a Walkthrough to it. It was quite fun. You fought Gun-Guns and stuff and got more money and could buy a lightsaber etc.

Malak? Marix? No, not Marix, he was someone else... Someone help me out, his character was an Iridonian. Kisuk Kolar was the name he took later, but what was his Sith name?

Dakoth

Darth Matas.

Xander Vos

Was it? That looks kinda right but sounds weird in my head. Razz

Dakoth

Well he was Kisuk, that much I'm sure of.

Xander Vos

Yeah the more I look at it the more it makes sense. He created GotF I think.

Lord Embeion

GoTF was around for much longer then your average spin-off forum. So long that we started to get our own members instead of taking them from established sites.

Sirak Sazen

It may have sucked, but so did I at that point.

@Emby Yeah. Somebody had the bright idea to delete EVERY post ever made. I really gave up at that point.

Lord Embeion

It was more RP focused then Rebels and had more activity then TDSL. So it didn't suck at all. Just most of the higher members came from here so they drifted away over time to there native forums.

Sirak Sazen

I'll never forget Matt telling me he doubted I had any potential. Razz

Lord Embeion

Lol. Matt is a emo who puts random shoes in his pictures. I also remember crushing a few people. I also remember constantly stealing Sith Council members for the Jedi cause
Lol I believe I trained Matt actually.

Rive Caedo

Lord Embeion

Darth Splinter

Matas was Diego. The only Mexican in the Rebels/GotF/DSL trifecta I believe.

Sirak Sazen

...and the only one to claim to have been shot - multiple times.

Now that I think about it, Leon Sparrow (not sure of his relation to our Leon), while being my best friend on that site, slung more BS than Barack Obama. I remember something along the lines of him being involved in an FBI sting with gun-toting Nazis. Confused

Darth Splinter

I was told he was mentally retarded.

Sirak Sazen

I'd buy that.

Darth Splinter

Remember Reaves? He plotted to kill me and fled... What a puss.

Rive Caedo

Sirak Sazen

Lord Embeion

lolol. Matas and his little brother.

Leon Sparrow was the nuttiest person by far. Out trolls Maven anyday. I do remember Splinter from the site quite well. I believe I left him my Supreme Prophet spot

Sirak Sazen

Makes you wonder what ever happened to that guy.

Lord Embeion

Leon was constantly coming and going. He probably went to another site and I imagine did the same thing. Last time I saw him though he matured a little and was attempting to hack us. Failed ( cuz ima boss)

Sirak Sazen

Hack us? Exactly how did he plan on doing that?

Lord Embeion

By giving randoms Admin and take control of the board.

Sirak Sazen

I'm confused. Are we talking about Rebels?

Rive Caedo

Rebels has only been hacked once. In December 2005 when I took it over from Krato, Rick, and Lo'tan via my puppet "Jedi Abba" account, deleted all the old posts, and made it look like a new forum.

Lord Embeion

I remember when Rebels was a land of white snow and no dense star fields. When your puppet account was active

Xander Vos

Marix and I conspired to hack TDSL and remove Shadow from power, but it didn't work...

Devrin

Ahh, so that's why Shadow got pissed at Marix. Lolsauce.

Xander Vos

Yeah, something like that. Razz

Devrin

I'm garbage on TDSL now. I have so much crap to do on there. I'm failsauce.

Xander Vos

I'll try and take a leading role there over summer if Shadow permits me. I feel like digging in deep and really trying to accomplish stuff.

Devrin

Well, I hope he lets you. I really do. It would be great to have you back.

Xander Vos

Thanks. It would be nice getting back to the site I helped found. As much as I love Rebels, it used to be the 'Rebel Scum copy-cat icky blue site' Wink

Devrin

Lolz. I'm sure the beginning of TDSL and Rebels is a very grand tale indeed. Smile

Xander Vos

Ohhhhh yeah. Haha, I remember when TDSL first started up, the Apprentices all were given missions to recruit new people, spy on Rebels, or do tasks for their Masters. At one point I kept an up to date list on all the Jedi killed (in real SW canon) in each era. I looked over the lists a few months ago, they're impressively long. I'd task Apprentices with searching for Jedi I couldn't find the cause of death or source for.

Anyway, the whole 'dual' accounts thing came about because we wanted to spy on this new Rebels forum, which was like ours but blue. I can remember Ducki remarking 'My eyes hurt looking at it!' Chick was a bit odd... she wanted to put Obi-Tyler on the Sith Council because he swore he'd turned to the Dark when it was obvious he hadn't, but then she dissapeared quite quickly. Her mother Dell came on for a bit - at least we think it was her mother - which is why Chick, the character's, mother is also named Dell.

Devrin

There must be more to this epic!

Xander Vos

Oh, I'm far too Alzheimered to remember the rest. Wink

But it's a long and vivid history, marked with epics like the Seal_Nellie incident, the Smilie Wars, etc. We were worried we weren't going to have any more 'epics' and then Jianna came along. Razz

Devrin

You are forgetting the MAGICAL BOGA! Razz

Or, at least, that's what I think it's called...

Xander Vos

Oh yeah! Geeze completely forgot. And Vadercakes and stuff. I think it was Abba and Shatterpoint's fun for the new users.

Can't even remember where Boga started...

And of course the Blenders. Razz

Devrin

Rebels seems like the fun one of the former sister sites. Smile

It really makes me mad that now on TDSL you almost have to be perfect in RPing, your grammar and SW knowledge just to be liked by other members. Mainly Serratus and Aequitas.

Xander Vos

It's always been like that. Scourge used to run it and do a good job - he was basically Rive's alter-ego, leading to many claims of a Riurge entity - but then he left. Shadow's taken over, and it's still run well, but yeah, Rebels was always the more laid back alternative.

Devrin

Shadow was supposed to give away his position as Emperor over a year ago...

Xander Vos

November 2007 I believe? Or was it 08?

Either way, I don't think whoever would have taken over would have done as good a job, it's just that Shadow seems to feel the need to lie to the rest of the site, which is never a good policy... if you want to stay in power, stay in power, and let your actions demonstrate why you deserve it - like Rive does.

Rive Caedo

Absolutely. I don't understand why Shadow doesn't just put mind control agents in the logo, like I do.

Devrin

'08, I believe. He's been pretty busy as of late though.

Xander Vos

Lord Embeion

LOL! Ya I remember all the posts with everyone going " the bright blue hurts my eyes"

I remember when me and Jaden joined with our dual accounts and on like the second night Minious( lololnewb) PM'd me tryina boost posts in the activity threads. I also remember everyone hating Vexen because he was teh newb of the site and how I blasted past his rank in a month. I also remember when Shadow was looking for a new admin.. basically was setup for me to win. I was on there for quite some time actually. Then came the fateful day that Shadow tried to cancel the forum wars and I sent out the PMs that got my account jacked. I believe after some time Alex convinced me to post on the site with a new account. I think it was during the time when they were voting in a new leader. lolol

Sirak Sazen

Xander Vos

Yeah Emby, your and Jaden's dual accounts was the first real 'saga' on TDSL, because we had no idea, and when it came out, it was a bit of a shock.

Lord Embeion

We didn't even tell anyone and then we kinda fell inactive and then told people here about them.

Dakoth

Ahhh memories. The massive forum wars troll debate threads..

Xander Vos

The Forum Wars would actually have been epic if Shadow hadn't done what he had done.... They failed because there weren't enough people on both sides. If everyone on this site had played as Jedi, and everyone on TDSL as Sith, the RPs would have been massive.

Lord Embeion

I just remember Shadow not getting one thing and him just qq ragin hard.

Xander Vos

In fairness, he just wanted people to be allowed to have a Jedi user on here and a Sith on TDSL, which Abba, SaV and Rive refused. I think I actually sided with Shadow in that debate. Shocked

Lord Embeion

I believe Dakoth was also against him. Ya but honestly. Pulling the thread between both sites completely was a wee bit of an overreaction because not everyone liked his idea.

Sirak Sazen

The answer is simple: he's a whiny brat.

Xander Vos

That's pretty much it Sirak, it really is sad that the two sites are no longer linked - that there are people on TDSL who have never heard of Rebels and vice versa.

Dakoth

No, what shadow did was politicking. He tied the completely unrelated forum wars to dual accounts. He wouldn't let one through without the other, for no other reason than to push his own aims. It was immature and had no place on a friendly roleplaying site.

Xander Vos

Hmm to be fair there was a link, because we were refusing to allow Sith from TDSL on here as Jedi because it would muddy the waters of the Forum Wars, but he still wanted them to be given the chance to RP as whoever they wanted on here.

Both sides had valid reasons at the time in all fairness, and it's just a pity he had to take such drastic action in response.

Dakoth

No one ever said you couldn't pick which side you played on. The only reason against dual accounts is it became confuisng as to whom you were actually speaking to, not to mention they were completely extraneous. It was childish offering that up as a reason.

Xander Vos

I'm not sure if he offered the point, but I at least always supported people using the same names on both sites, despite which side they took.

Dakoth

Eh, not like it matters any more. Mine as well bury the old scar.

Xander Vos

I guess. Unless enough TDSL guys on here (Devrin etc.) started a petition on there... though I doubt Shadow would do anything about it. Wink

Dakoth

I'm quite sure Shadow wants nothing to do with something that would challenge his authority.

Xander Vos

It's dissapointing. If indeed TDSL is slipping, surely he'd see the opportunity to boost his site's activity?

Rive Caedo

Xander Vos

Ah well, it would be interested to have someone go back through the Graveyard - I'd nominate Sirak seeing as he seems to have done so already - and actually pen a "Brief History of the Rebels Forum" for our fifth anniversary next year, with each era covered. Very Happy

Lord Embeion

I second Sirak

Dakoth

I nominate Maven.

Sirak Sazen

fine. who shall train me

Xander Vos

Uhh... go to TDSL to get trained, then come back.

Devrin

Sirak Sazen

Just to let everyone know, I got a message from Tanya (Jade Andreal on Rebels). GotF is going to make another recovery effort. I'm not sure how well that's going to work but if anyone wants to I'd appreciate the help.

I didn't take it too seriously, but Diego posted about and hour ago. Shocked

Lord Embeion

lol. GL with that

Adenn

Xander Vos

Anakin? As in the guy who used to be Revenous and was a double agent? I remember him. Dunno if he was.

Adenn

He posted a picture of himself, he sure did look Hispanic.

Lord Embeion

Ya he was. He was like Lanik for a little and just popped in now and again. BUT NOA HE IS DED SO GOOD DAI

Dakoth

Anakin was the bestest..

Lord Embeion

Anakin had a sense of humor. Something I find lacking among our Anakin replacement Invictus. WoWhead

Jade Andreal

Sirak Sazen

I love the guy (no homo), but that was a stupid move. No need to dig up old mistakes, though.

Xander Vos

Lord Embeion

Tanya is teh username ninja?

Xander Vos

The IP search says it's Mathor. Confused

Mathor

Nope, two different people, same computer. Did I hear roommates? And this IP will be different, school library. Very Happy

Xander Vos

Did you find out about this site from him?

Mathor

Yes, I was told about this site from him. But for the time being, I was told to stay away from GOTF untill he got it running? Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Xander Vos

How did he find out about the site?

Mathor

He says he was a member at some point. He says ask Sirak. He just told me he found out about GOTF from this site and moved over there. Apparently he had his name changed from Tanya to Adrian Storm and also created the Jade Andreal account. Ask him he would know more about it.
