Who's still out there? Roll call! Speak up! [Archive]

Well, Christmas is almost upon us and I still see many of our regulars browsing the forums on an almost daily basis, but yet when I click that fancy 'new post' link, nothing appears! I am calling out to all of you lurking users to speak up and say hi, give us a sign of life! :P

I have been keeping an eye on the boards, mainly been busy working on the code for the site re-launch. I plan to send out a barrage of emails to our forum users and mailing list subscribers, inviting them to come give feedback and opinions on the new site. Maybe we can still breathe some life into this place after all...

2004 was when we upgraded forum software, so that's when everybody who was around for the old forums signed up for the new ones.

Yeah that explains it, it's just weird we havent had active posters that have joined later on.

Good to see some familiars poking their heads in! If only we could lure in a few more, maybe the forums could sigh in relief. Things around here are still pretty dead right now.

I've been active since... a long time ago! I could find my register date from wayback machine, but I guess I'm too lazy. Though, I actually wasn't active right from the start.

I guess thats when the forums were installed. Good thing I finally got off my butt and changed it from a guestbook, or most of us would never be here! Alas, the guestbook was hosted remotely, but I haven't been able to find it on the wayback machine yet.

The old crappy forums were part of our glory days. If only we could get some dedicated craziness on these boards too...

I'm member since 2004 but I'm a leecher since 2002 :p, back in that time I think you all were crazy and that's why I didn't Join here, then 2 years later and till now you're still crazy, but I'm crazy as well so what the heck, Huzza for RPGN! :p

I am still alive also. Spoke to bAz over a week ago and he mentioned with an evil cackle I should show my face here more often. Well I finally got chance to have a bit of time and visit y'all. Hope everyone is well etc. I will do what I can to make more time to visit and post again. Although I cannot promise how often as I am starting a Starpack project.

Oh and I have been a member since 11-19-2004 or in English 19/11/2004.

I hadn't paid the boards a visit since a long time... Just as most old-timers went away, so did I. :finger: Haven't had time to post in other forums either, even those of my beloved Nolife TV channel (by geeks/otakus/nolifes, for geeks/otakus/nolifes °o°) !

But right now it's good to see a sparkle of life back in this place, so I'll try and find the time to post as well. ;)

To come back would require that I've been there at least once... :D

Elhaym van Houten

04-15-2009, 07:31 AM

OMG, guys, I seriously can't believe this.
I found the nicest mail from Pezito sitting in my account today - what an amazingly positive surprise :-).

So, I sort of strayed over to say hi, nice to see you all. Hope everyone's still doing fine, and that you've had an amazing time... and I'm curious what you are up to now :-D.

Really, I can't believe that it has really been five years :-p.

Marona

:amazed: Now that you've brought it up, I'm not even doing a similar calculation! :p

Elhaym! I hope you'll stick around a post a bit! :D

Charon

04-15-2009, 01:31 PM

Pez and Elhaym back. Woot. We're almost back to normal.
Well, except that Zedie now needs a zimmerframe to make his way around. ;)

Kilu

04-15-2009, 02:27 PM

Welcome back Zedie, Pez and Elhaym!

It's nice that the forums are more active again, especially since we were also able to launch the redesign of the main RPGN page for Christmas '08, and actually have updates and news there. So now both forums and the site have activity. Yay!

Pezito

04-15-2009, 03:43 PM

Yay for Elhaym ! I'm glad your e-mail address still works, and glad that you felt like paying this place a visit. :)

So, what have you been doing these last years ? ^^

Zedie9

04-16-2009, 12:52 AM

PS : I've just expanded my english vocabulary thanks to you , guys (and Google)... Had no idea what a "zimmer frame" could be. (°_°)

Alzheimer's got you already?

Whoaaaaa look at all the old peoples! :D

Yeah, look who's talking :p.

I haven't been up to much lately - I enjoyed studying so much that I actually went out to get a bachelor's in business. Stupid thing, as to me business is the most boring subject in the world. Anyways, I'm almost done, and will enjoy a nice long vacation in summer, waiting for my job applications to hit the jackpot... not very likely under the current circumstances.

So, guys, what have you been up to? Anyone leveled up in the good old game of "my house, my car, my wife, my kids, my garden, my boat..." ?

Pezito

04-20-2009, 06:41 AM

... Don't forget "my pets" ! :) (Although you often need to complete stage "my house" before you can get on with "my pets". ^^)

05-02-2009, 06:17 PM

What? You haven't got any of those? :D Shame on you - what are you going to tell your old classmates at reunion?I'm going to be quite proud that I: finished college didn't get anyone pregnant (especially before marriage) didn't get addicted to drugs didn't gain 100 lbs. (only 40 ;) ) don't live with my parents have a real job etc

Zedie9

05-04-2009, 12:27 AM

:wonder: Hmm... I can say I haven't gained more than five pounds since High School, but I think I'll avoid some of those other proud moments for now. ;)
