Yeah, we didn't see RedX's activity for very long time.
Vortex, Vurn and AK are here.

Who else? RuloCore, Gil, mr. Skutnik post very often.
Isobel and Cone are here, visiting us sometimes. Like you, Ant. :)

Subbot #499... Lol, I see his EVERY DAY online, lurking around, but no posts. :D
Oh good. Gil, Cone and Vurn I am in regular contact with. Vortex, I could be, but he never visits our little Skype group anymore. *sheds a tear* It is nice to see that the community has new people coming in, for a while I feared that the community was going to end with the surge of new members that brought us just all these people like Alamos, Mono, Vurn, RedX, YamiX, Cone... And then it sort of stopped and we began to dwindle.

Oh, Zombyrus and Redafro do they still visit the forum irregularly?

Well, forum didn't die.
But... Its life, its direction of activity changed absolutely.
Generation of old and current members are absolutely different.

I would not say that's bad... It is like different world, with different customs and policy.

They're here very rarely.

You can check users activity by visiting their member pages. :)

Also, I remember when I joined the Forum, it was after Covert Front 4 came out, and I was already watching you guys post. And no one pointed out the bird was missing.
So I posted that for you guys.
Then one of you told me to get an account, cause being "anonymous" and you guys couldn't tell it was me.

And I made some choices understand, while under the guise of insanity that I can't take back.
Remember I mention a Black Dossier I own in real life, I torn the original pages out of book, and to make matter worse, I put a bunch of tape on the cover. If I take it off, I will rip off the original textured.

That not a fan Fiction, This is a fan fiction.

And I don't see it as bullying, its just....I don't know.

Is there faster way to know the gist of the history (aka the "gistory") of Pastel Forum before this "current member" generation came? I want to know what it was like. :?:

There is old forum archive. Sublevel's and Vortex's copies.

There was my "Sweet memories..." thread in old forum, where I wanted to see how old members remember their early forum life, posting stories, tales, pictures, etc... :)
There is similar thread:

Ah, I see. Yeah, that is another explanation.

I don't think anyone has compiled a succinct list (Sublevel did apparently, XD). I mean, my memory is a bit hazy too and years blend into each other. The real veterans are the ones who were there from the very beginning or at least submachine 2. There was a so called Rewolucje forum where people discussed the submachine back in, what would that even be 2006? That is where Raxas, Robobrain and Anonymous1 originate, and a few others. I think AK is from that era too, but I am not sure.

Then people moved to the new PastelForum, where the meat of it all happened. The Anonymous1 debacle is best left untouched, but the Flame War between the old and the new happened due to the different preferences. It was more lackadaisical and less theory driven. That is a dark page in our history, but that era saw a surge of new members like no other and had a lot of positive things going on too.

Then that forum began to get attacked by spambots, really bad, and we moved into this forum, where things have been ever more happy and lackadaisical. I kind of like it better that way, to be honest.

I have a copy of the old forum (it's corrupted though, some pages don't exist and some you can only access by manual search).

Well I'll be sure to look through it at some point so I can catch up with y'all :) (only if there's no packet of comprehension questions at the end)

Sorry, but how can you copy a forum?
