History!
 
I never really got this OWF breaking into the Glass Asylum thing. All I really know is that OWF didn't really like Sydney because she was being a bitch and banned some member for something petty. Then OWF broke up and Sydney and her supporters ran off and made there own forums (which has long since perished) AKA the Glass Asylum.

A couple of questions:

Did Sydney leave because she was pissed with people being pissed at her? Or did she some how get kicked out?

Sydney, Abebabe , Alcar. They were all sorta superior. So if Sydney founded the forums where do the latter come in.

What was this whole "EZboards" business. Who created the EZ board forums? Who are EZ veterans who are still active?

Are there any GA vetrerans active? What was it like?

That’s about it. If you have any OWF history questions your self don't be afraid to ask.

I know it's not really anything historical but I have a question: Who is the most superior active member of the OWF now? Beside OANST of course...

Wings of Fire 06-18-2009 05:34 AM

Define superior.

Carnix 06-18-2009 05:37 AM

Higher/greater/of most importance/ect.
I remember thinking it was Alcar, but I just don't see him around as much as I used to...

Wings of Fire 06-18-2009 05:39 AM

I still don't really understand the question, but I think that would probably be Nate, or BM depending on what exactly you mean.

Nate 06-18-2009 05:47 AM

Whilst being right with WoF in not knowing at all what you are asking, this may have some answers: http://boardreader.com/sp/Oddworld_F...vBu_15730.html

Also, check out the Forum Awards: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=17868
In which the forum's MVP was awarded to Bullet Magnet by a startling margin.

Alcar 06-18-2009 07:58 AM

I'm online for a considerable amount of time, I just don't post as much as I used to. In the past few months, it has become an increasing trend.

As for superioty as seniority, that would go to Abe Babe and I. However, I'm rarely consulted for advice or asked to make decisions, as Nate and Max are more intimately involved with the forums, and as such, in a better position to wield authority.

So in the case of de facto seniority, it would be either Nate or Max.

Alcar...

Please, please, please tell me you have tried searching. These same questions about The Glass Asylum come up time and time again, and the answers are out there. The following may be of some interest to you, but there is much more very easily found.

Nate pays more attention and does more than me.

moxco 06-18-2009 12:34 PM

Thanks. I did try searching and all I could find was Sydney announcing her return in '04.

Edit: http://www.stellar-tv.com/misc/oddto...3/p8020002.jpg

Peter, are you looking at her tits?

Laser 06-18-2009 01:12 PM

Wasn't Sydney a him/she?

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 01:14 PM

EDIT: Misinterpreted the post. Sorry.

And Alcar looks scary there.

MA 06-18-2009 01:22 PM

Sydney did used to be a male, but i think had a sex change when she announced her return.

also these links might answer some of your questions MoxCo.

We never had any confirmation that Sydney completed hir sex change. I have heard that he didn't go through with it in the end, but don't know anything for certain.

moxco 06-18-2009 10:30 PM

Is this Sydney a shemale thing some sorta joke or are you serious.

Edit: Is Alcar anerixic in that pic or what?

I heard the same, but like you, haven't heard anything further.

We are deadly serious.

And I have never been anorexic or bulimic in my life.

Alcar...

Nate 06-18-2009 11:11 PM

The only reason that I can think of why Moxco would ask that question is if he thinks he's looking at all of Alcar's teenaged body, rather than half the body with the other half blocked by a well-camouflaged wall.


Alcar: How old were you then?

Alcar 06-18-2009 11:23 PM

I was 14 :p

Alcar...

moxco 06-18-2009 11:35 PM

Ah right. Now I see the wall.

Phylum 06-19-2009 03:13 AM

I see the forums turning into haven for spammers and flamers

Wow. They could see this all the way back in 02 :P

Yes, I know I'm not helping :D

~SomethingReasonableSoImSlightlyOnTopic~

Wow. This stuff is really interesting. I never knew any of this glass asylum stuff. I feel more in touch with the forum now.

Oh, and

Regardless of what you say the answer is probably yes.

Alcar 06-19-2009 03:23 AM

I was aware of my sexuality back then. I do however adore titties for some reason.

What a delightful attitude you take towards gender identity and eating disorders.

I just thought that you guys where having a go at Sydney with this whole sex change thing.

And is I the only one who thought the wall was the ground?

Bullet Magnet 06-19-2009 04:37 PM

I too was deceived into believing Alcar's 14 year old body tapered away to nothing.

Pilot 06-19-2009 07:28 PM

Good grief, I explained a great deal of this when I returned late last year in this post:

bobtheguy 06-20-2009 08:46 PM

okay so is this umm.... he/she sidney person like famous, or just famous on the oddworld forums..... this story about ummm.... him/her is kind of weird.... also who started the oddworld forums?

Wil 06-21-2009 02:12 AM

Sydney isn’t famous beyond the Oddworld Forums, and probably Oddworld Inhabitants. As far as we know. He started the Oddworld Forums.

abe is now! 06-21-2009 03:23 AM

This made me remember when I asked what is a founder and who was going to be the new founder.

I think Sydney is only an account and not a man/woman or shemale.
