I used to be a huge GW lurker/member like 10 years ago when I was like 13 (and most of you motherfuckers were, too). In fact, 13 used to be a magical age/horrendous insult 'round these parts. Is that still going!? Oh man, the tradition! Anyway, I was here way before Grindie or Chainer (dropping the popular art names, I used to hang around the Art/Literature/Roleplaying forums), in the Second or Third Reign of Comm1 (not first, I'm not that old). I was here during the revival of Guylock too, but far after the whole SHITABEAR stuff you old motherfuckers rocked your cocks to. Um, 4Dsheep, or something along those lines. I remember her, she was awesome. Dr. Funk, holy shit. Legendary. Dragonslayer, or something like that. He was very nice, I remember him fondly, that rosy-cheeked little sassafrass.


There was a guy in the roleplaying forums...I think his username was Krinsdeath? He was an AMAZING writer. Loved the Eye of Horus. Then there was Hundley, who I always secretly thought looked like that old avatar of his, which was cool. Something...Paladin? I remember him too. Bartek, of course. Never really liked him, I don't remember why. Morrison either, though I'm pretty sure he's still around. He was very snarky and that wasn't really my style, but he never said anything to me. Then again, I never said anything to him.


Abraxa. What a nutcase. Loved every bit about this individual. I remember his Sadistic Gardens shit got on SA and we were all so proud of him.


I remember when Mr. D arrived too. And the art battles. He had that art battle with, uhh...something like Ptera, I can't really remember. He made it a notch too personal, and it put him under a bit of fire from the rest of the members. Though, I did find out about Milli Vanilli from that thread. Not that that's important in any way, I'm just saying. I learned something.


Hmm...I remember Grindie's Satanic apprentice. Also started with a G, I think...he liked goat-demons. Not sheep, though...


I just saw Faust scrolling through the threads. He's still here, god damn. I remember he used to look like Avril and you guys loved it. Did that change? Please say no.


Lots of shit went down here. This used to be a very addictive site to me. So how much has changed since way then?


EDIT: Markus or whatever. He was THE black guy back in the day. I'm quite sure he's still around. I vaguely remember him starting a job at Toys R Us and loving it? But that wasn't even way way back, I don't think.


Haha, fuckin' Peewee or whatever he was initially called. I forget. I made a post about tricking a lesbian on Yahoo chat into cybersex, only to be cyber-ravaged and slightly disturbed by the aftermath and he found this HOLLARIOUS. He quoted it all up in the quotey thang. I was very flattered.


I also remember that Randomfellow guy, or however he spelled it. What was it he used to always say..."If'n"?


Just as a time reference, I was here when RM2K was the shit, RM2K3 what the shit's shit and RMXP didn't exist. When you guys found out about Ruby, y'all screamed witchcraft.

I'll be punching that edit button a couple more times; my bag of nostalgia is bursting at the seams. Memories are hella flooding, doggies.

He was a valiant man, with angelic locks of feather-light hair that whipped gracefully in the slightest breeze. I used to beckon him over to windows just to see this phenomenon. And he'd always moan ("Auummmm, ahhh!") as the wind caressed him. He was very captivating, like a lion giving birth.

Steel DIED?


Holy fuck. My deepest condolences...that is some gnarly shit.


Wow.


Was your name always Drule? I seem to only recall it since I joined up with this account, but maybe my memory is just bleeding through.


Oh, and thank you for that awesome summary! Why was Peewee scared off, I always thought he reveled in these forums more than most others. And do you remember that Satanic fella I was talking about? He wasn't edgy or anything, just claimed to follow Satanism, but otherwise a very mild person. Funny guy, liked to draw. Bit of a budding philosopher. His name (or lack thereof) will bother me if it doesn't click and I wanna sleep tonight...


There was also a guy that, I think, used to make avatars and banners for people. I think DragonSlayer did it too, along with sigs. In fact, I definitely remember people requesting sigs from DragonSlayer and this other individual in particular. Or maybe I'm just trippin' again.


Oh, and isn't Marcus still around?

Ah...then I must just associate you with this "era" cuz, well, you're still here. Thanks for the help thus far, it's neat to get these dusty cogs turnin'. Who knows what other shit I remember. God forbid I get assaulted by some suppressed memories and wake up in the fetal position in my neighbour's house with lipstick all over my face.

He left because Chef cybered him and everyone teased him about it

Oh, you guys...I can't stop laughing at this.


(Sorry for the format whoopsies, your forum is kicking the fuck out of my browser for some reason...)

I think I remember DDay and Kaworu...DDay by name, I think I remember you starting out...and I apologize if this is uncalled for, but when I think of Kaworu, I think gay transformers. Is this accurate?


And I remember Atari. I was gonna mention him, but I wasn't sure if that name was from this forum...in fact, Atari, didn't YOU do sig and avatars requests for people along with DragonSlayer.


Faust, I'm sure you're still as graceful and lithe as a rolling dew drop.

Thank you so much for this, DietCoke!


Vellfire, your name rings a bell, but I can't remember if I picked it up back then or since I re-joined. Was it always that?

Definitely sounds like Dr. Funk. Last of his hijinx I remember is him sneaking back into GW after some absence and posting a map that, when you tilt the screen, secretly spells out Dr. Funk in the corner. That's it. After that, he just re-re-re-re-re-re-disappeared.


SHIT! I can't believe I forgot! What happened to Mr. Y? I remember he had the coolest username after 4DSheep inadvertently informed me it actually stands for "mystery". My mind was most sensuously blown by this imposed revelation.
Though, I may or may not recall him possibly leaving even before I left GW...still, the guy was definitely a mr. y.
