The forums have certainly come a long way since the forum's very humble beginnings.
The other day Sydney posted something about 6 designs for the forums and I could only think of five. I never got around to asking about it. Now I know why I couldn't remember six... as there was one more before I joined (the orange one Sydney mentions)... when I first came it was the pink/white scheme.
I kind of miss some of the old members. Who remembers people like Aqua Sheep (original Oddworld Help Moderator), Mpendwa (writer of some great fan fics), Sista Souljah (creator of Oddworld Yo! and originally called Anglehair) and Sliggy (used to have a Slig fan site). Sydney was Sydney Cander back then (probably because someone already registered Sydney on the ezBoard).
And the old days when Oddworld, Off-topic and Fan Corner were all one. There was only two forums then... General Discussion and Oddworld Help.
Unfortunately my first post isn't there anymore as a (then) moderator decided to delete the introduction threads, much to Sydney's dissapointement if I recall. Although I did find my post announcing that I was starting my own Oddworld site.
Well one thing sure hasn't changed at the old forums. I got greeted by three pop-up ads on arrival!
