Question Wait ...

These forums are 10 years old ... Alcar is 24 ... Did Alcar make these forums or did someone else make them and hand them over to Alcar?

Alcar didn't start the forums. He just stole them from the (gender neutral term) person who did. But looking back on it now, he was freakishly young at the time.

About the time I joined, I think, though I was hidden in fancorner and oblivious to all. There was an epic war and more than 40,000 people were killed before the tyrannical rule of Sydney could be brought to a close.

There are tons of threads detailing these events, so try searching the forums for 'Sydney' and 'the glass asylum' if you want to know more.

17 August 2002 was when Sydney was removed from power. Can't think how long the drama went on for.

I have to wonder how the transfer of ownership went.

I wasn't around at the time, but from what I gather it wasn't a particularly happy transfer of power, so how did things like domain ownership, hosting payments etc. work out? Did Alcar steal her identity or something?

The Oddworld Forums needs a proper segmented history with cool period names and shit.

Like, the Neo-Alcarian Age of '08-'11

By the time of the split, Pilot was hosting the complete OWF on his server, so there was no need to transfer that data at that point. As for the domain name, I think Abe Babe was the one who registered it in the first place—OWF hasn't always had this domain name.

Don't we have citizensiege.net as well? Dunno why, seems a waste of money since it's never going to be made.

We're still the best place on all of the internet to discuss Citizen Siege, and considering, in Peter's words
:
they cost chips
I think it'll be renewed again this August. We've already lost the wagewarsforums.net and manchineforums.net addresses.

Even if you did register in May, you're still new.

But I didn't register in May. I registered in April.
So don't use the join date as your argument.

I'm not even going to bother any more since you're just being stupid. Being new doesn't make you any different, but you're defending it as if it means you're a lesser person. Also, I don't care what month you joined or whatever, I was on about the year I've tried to make it obvious for you.

"Being new doesn't make you any different, but you're defending it as if it means you're a lesser person."
Where the fuck did you get that bullshit from
And yes, it is obvious that you were arguing about the fucking year. You used my join date to prove that I registered in 2011, I proved that it is invalid because it says I registered in may when I registered in april.

Just because the month was 1 out, doesn't mean the year is wrong does it?
