Ok, I understand a newb not knowing who Dark was, but you've been around a while Kosh, and you don't know? He was like the first famous/great modder of FS.


I've been around for a while, but not THAT long.


Ok, so Setekh went to have a family, but what about these other guys (including lightspeed)? What happened to them?

Real Life.

Lots of people up and quit after 3.0 came out too.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

my god, dark, and plasma, back in the DAYS!

for those of you new, Dark was, no is the best FS modeler there ever will be.

plasma was a writer of great comedy.

I know I should remember todd-o-love, I remember the phrase I just can't remember what it was, and HBF can't place it but odds are good if I knew what it stood for I was there for it.

does anyone remember Pastel? old hard core FS1 era mod hacker, wrote pofs BY HAND WITH A HEX EDITOR!!!!!!!!!_!_ and what ever happened to Orange and Zarathud, what happened to Wild Wolf after he got hired by V?

I don't think WildWolf kept his job at [V] all that long - awhile, but last I heard he wasn't there anymore.

From when the **** ****ing banned me, because he's a ****ing ****.

And HFB is HemaroidFrogButt - the VBB's uber-troll.

I remember Pastel as an entity, but not as a person.

Orange ****ed off pretty quickly after the VWBB died a painful death, afaik.

Random: Ace stuck around for a bit at NW, and tried to get a D&D style thing going but faded away.

And WildWolf (as the Todd-O-Love suggests) can **** off and die.

Forgive a young'un for sounding ignorant, but what was "Tiara"?

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Also last year there were some admin changes and some long time posters didn't like the way it was managed.

Who was...

She was an axe wielding maniac from the Netherlands. Supposedly she taught history there.

Poor poor TCO...

Don't recall HFB on HLP, but I think he created a mess at VBB too (well, at that time most of the forums were a mess anyway..).
