So who did it? Who got the word out even further?

[Mark]

I followed up and twisted @Zedgar2 's arm into joining.

Now that’s another name I haven’t seen in a while.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I followed up and twisted @Zedgar2 's arm into joining.

Him and @turkey are members I have absolutely zero recollection of. There are lots of members I only recognize by name despite never interacting with them like @Zell 17 and @Mr. Blue , but I'm definitely at a loss on the other two.

I’m cheezy but I’m a turkey now.

ooooooh, see that's a name I recognize from the old days. Nice.

 

[Mark]

@turkey and see, I was just setting this up so as soon as you registered you would have been awarded this…





Guess I gotta go find a turkey leg now or something…

 

[VashTheStampede]

I reached out to Zio cause I miss my bro and I still had him on a platform's friend list.

 

[Danny]

I showed up because FB decided to show me GW group content for once.

I'd attempt to reach out to my old GW friends, but I don't know their contact details or fb accounts.

But I will say it's nice to see this place thriving.

That’s the problem I have… I mostly departed from GW before social media really took off, back when AIM, IRC, and the others were the way to go. If it wasn’t for the Facebook group, I’d only have access to 5 or 6 former members.

Zedgar2 is probably from before your time.

We're talking 2001-2004 era.

That’s amazing! I still like cheese but a bastardization of my last name rhymes with turkey so I’ve been using that lately. It’s still food so it fits the theme.

For real, he was gone long before I dropped off… which was probably around early to mid 05 if I had to guess.

It’s all good, dude, we can adapt. You got a turkey leg now, it didn’t cost you any posts, and you didn’t have to be here long at all to unlock it. It’s real simple, I practiced the badges on Alu first, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, I joined in 2003, but in a very limited capacity and was initially only in the Smash Bros forum during that year.

 

[shortkut]

@Cole i don’t know if you still talk to sythpt, but I sent him a message on Facebook. Hopefully he responds and joins, I miss talking to him. If you have him on steam or anywhere else, send him a message

Give him both so everyone knows who he used to be

 

[Mark]

Brilliant.

Genius!!

Someone make shortkut an admin.

As long as I do not have to do anything. I want no responsibility, but I like being an idea man

 

[Crystal]

So who is going to invite Al?

I could, but the odds of him joining or about 72,000,000 to 1

I got that section organized now, so now all we gotta do is throw new ones on there and award them.

Yay!!

I followed up and twisted @Zedgar2 's arm into joining.

Awesome, thanks for reaching out, these names are amazing

I’m cheezy but I’m a turkey now.

Gobbles!

Tell him you’ll rotate the experimentals for him

 

[Mark]

Tell him you’ll rotate the experimentals for him

Fuck no. That ain’t worth no amount of visits from anyone.

 

[shortkut]

Fuck no. That ain’t worth no amount of visits from anyone.

@America’s Best Contacts & Glasses can do it

 

[Crystal]

Tell him you’ll rotate the experimentals for him

I'll rotate those shortly, thanks!

 

[A Slightly New Used Server]

@America’s Best Contacts & Glasses can do it

It's easier to just say I'm Al and call it a day than actually get him here or rotate the experimentals.

You gotta grow the mustache, then.

I have a mustache. But also a full beard.

We can green screen it out. No big deal.

 

[Requiem]

The very first thing I did when I saw the GW post was look for Meathos, Supreme Canuckle head.

Saw his name and joined immediately. Been cool seeing a ton of the old C&C boys here. Where's Xellos these days?

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I talk to him often. I met him in Toronto, he's come to Boston and we saw rage against the machine in Pittsburgh last year. He's around

He’s actually doing pretty well for himself, I’m gonna invite him here today. Him and I have been friends for a looong time thanks to GW, he lived with my family for a bit and my girlfriend and I are about to live with his to get us outta the city until we get rooted out there.

I saw that pic you posted and I'm pretty sure its the first time I've seen him, despite years of RPs and skype chats. Also super good to see you. When I posted my old usernames I had left out Murdoch, but I think Requiem was the more well known one. Man I miss C&C the most. Its what got me into a lifelong hobby of writing and I'll always be grateful to you all for it.

He thanked me for letting him know but didn’t give any indication whether he would join or not. I’m not staying on Facebook longer than necessary so prod him a little for me

 

[Jawneh]

Oh, @Crystal , I don't know how much traction it would get, but the GW Steam group might have a couple folks still in it that aren't here. The very least, could update the links and announcements there to have a way to get here.

Uhhhh.... You rang?

 

[Mark]

Told you I was gonna get him here, @Requiem. This forum now has twice as much Maryland here.

 

[Requiem]

Maryland? Nevermind, yall can leave.

Great to see you, Xelly Belly

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Okay so Maryland only has three redeeming qualities - blue crab, Mark and Xellos. I'll keep track.

 

[Tirith]

I won't argue with that. Old Bay, Mark, Myself.

Lots of nostalgic names in this thread, for sure. I'm gonna have to play some ketchup or something.

 

[Mark]

We got another Marylander here, too, but he’s a native Philadelphian. Friend of my girlfriend’s, subsequently subjected to endure friendship with me… @Hefty88 is his username. Solid dude, PC builder, and overall the kinda person that would fit right in with this group of weirdos.

 

[Hefty88]

I also enjoy long walks through the Midgar slums and chocobo breeding.

 

[Tirith]

Chocobo breeding was definitely my least favorite part of that game.... But it had to be done.

I didn’t mind it much. I definitely hope they put at least an Easter egg referring to it or mini game in Rebirth. It just wouldn’t be right without it. Lol

 

[Meathos]

Ive seen @Zio The Abyss, @Meathos , @Singin Hobo and a few others. Someones reaching deep in the old address book.

So if you boys see this, WHO SENT YOU?!

I didn't think you'd notice, or mention me.

I've got my ear to the train tracks.

Hows everyone?

I liked it my first time through. Now I am thankful for the speed boost.

Not gunna lie dude, you and I have never really posted in the same forums, but you are someone I'd never forget. The first time I saw you explain that it's "mee-thoes" and not "meat hos" stuck with me for the rest of my life lmao. It's only fitting you returned, seeing all these true OGs really make this place feel right. Glad you found your way.

 

[Quagmire]

I dont know if it's the format, but this already seems busier and more used than either the facebook or reddit pages!

Yo welcome back!! I think it's a combination of all of our little pocket groups finally reforming on one website again. All the old names and faces are encouraging some hold-outs to even return. I think all we really needed was a little bit of nostalgia, a tan theme, and a lot of work from the admin team who have always cared, throughout all these years. It really feels like "home", not just a splinter forum or an attempt to keep everyone together. I really think this iteration will work. Hell, I'm in it until the very end!

Yeah I held out for a bit, I was like lets see what happens, hell I dont even like my name anymore, but its what I used here, so figured I'd stick with it for nostalgia's sake.
It does feel kind of like home
I like the layout and it is no where near as clunky as the old forums

One random thing, I randomly have dreams, maybe a couple times a year where I still post on GW, like they somehow were open backed up or there was a loop hole we found to access it, perhaps this is what I was dreaming about!

Who else but Quagmire!

Not sure I can find it, for the longest time my signature was a photoshop picture of Quagmire, Joey (from Friends), Fonzie and maybe one other "ladies man"
