Just my tuppence as I'm swinging by...
:
Just wondering, who here is a member from way back? Like from the EZboard and the UBB days?

- yes. *waves hand* January 2001. First year at Uni. So long ago. :P Ezboard with its lovely popups. And the mutiny that almost occurred when "someone" (Was it Syd?) went through and deleted all the old topics.
:
Pilot didn't run off with Sydney, it was Pilot who pushed Sydney away. The Glass Asylum may have died, but its legacy continued with The Stoneage Repository and then The Church of Pokey. I briefly swung by there a few months ago, but it's full of such immaturity and lack of depth I just couldn't stay.

- yeah, same here, on the whole "other forums" thing. Pilot made a big long post about how "right" it was that they'd kicked the founder out, if I remember right, and I vaguely recall there was a short story on TGA by one of OWF's former leading members where a dragon beat the snot out of "King Pompous Pilot", but it all happened over summer break and I was just "oh, change of scenery again then" when I got back. *shrugs*
TGA was all right for a while but there's only so many times you can discuss things like "isn't it disgusting when girls don't shave their legs!" especially when there's no new blood coming in - I mean, it wasn't a fan site, it was essentially just a pretty-looking place for friends to swap ideas across timezones. :P I only used it as a place to post my art, and since most of my friends from TGA are on devART I don't exactly miss it. Syd shut it down because she was tired of the stupidity there, I think (as evidenced by Max's mention of the Stonage Repository. The name says it all. :P

...yay.
