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...

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

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.

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.

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

Edit:

Peter, are you looking at her tits?

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.

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?
