I miss Tiara.

Even if Kam did still think she was just TCO pretending to be a hot girl.

What about DaveB leaving because he thought we were anti-american?

And I joined just before the religion thread, so I've seen an awful lot.

By the way an0n, showing your face all clear as day and all really kills your mystique. You were much more impressive when you were a faceless, voiceless asshole.

Who was plasma and dark?


As for Shrike and the other guys, it's a real shame they don't come around anymore.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Well, it wasn't the first time.

Maybe for these yungins, but I'm pretty sure an0n showed his face before this.
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.

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 know he posted a picture of himself all distorted once, and he also posted his ass once too, but that's all I remember.

wtf is Dark?

I remember Lightspeed . . . but this dark was apparently before my time

Dark was mostly FS1 era, much older than Lightspeed.

The Plasma option should be split up into the two or three threads he made, each of which became legends in their own right.

HFB was an interesting one. He was only around for a few days, but caused complete mayhem during that time. I don't think anyone found out who he was.

There was also the whole range of Squadwar shenanigans. I might be the only one here who remembers all that. :p

I'm designing a working chainsword. That should help replace my mystique with fear and awe.

And I never posted a shot of my ass. I dunno where the **** you got that from.

I did, however, probably post this:

Dark was the winner of the 3D modelling contest they ran to drum up members for the newborn HLP. He remade the Pod-fighter from Lost In Space, iirc. He was obscenely talented and managed to make things back in the bad old days of modelling that're better than anything you mooks could manage today.

As for Squadwar, they were all their whole own thing - and I never got into the whole 'play online' thing. Especially back during the hilariousness of all the cheating and ****.
