Petie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Sometimes I wish that the weird forces pulling all the strings in the universe would make all the old members look at this website at the same time and, realizing we were all here together again, within a week we'd be dusting off AIM, changing the board back to vBulletin (and remembering how to use vB code) with a big blue column on the left side of a white background, pretending we're in Kill Bill, listening to Apocalypse Hoboken, commenting on comments on myO, messing around on a dozen little sites made for us by Tony (Orange Lazarus, anyone?), making very long collaborative digital images, holding contests, having strange and turbulent long-distance relationships, writing letters to each other, and being the only people we were comfortable talking to about the shit that mattered in our lives. But since we're all busy and much different now, I can settle for just saying hi and hoping some of you will pop into this thread in a month or twenty and say hi back. I meant to reply to this a long time ago and then completely forgot but I agree completely (well, except for moving back to vBulletin - that changeover was not a fun process). It's awesome to see people coming back and saying hello but it would definitely be a lot of fun to have some sort of more formal reunion. Who knows? Maybe that can actually happen someday.

TheShinje Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Now that John has mentioned the graphic worm, are they stored anywhere? Man, it'd be great to see them again and to wince at my horrible intrusions into them haha! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 They are indeed! They managed to survive the server transfer and can be found here: http://www.otakuboards.com/graphicworm/ The information links at the top are dead but the individual years are still fine.

TheShinje Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Cheers Petie, that was a good trip. So... Anyone keen for another? I might just be the push I need to become a regular on the OB again. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuja Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 [kuja] Oh wow, I remember y'all! Lay M, Adams Angels! Now that's a blast from the past! *wonders if BabyGirl still frequents the forum* This forum sure has changed a lot, it's more like Twitter now, with all the status updates, colorful labels and social media focus, it's pretty cool... Sorry for being a dick the last time I was here... I've been booted for a while, lost all my history, guess I deserved that. I'm a different person now, :D and I don't lose my rag over silly little things such as getting relieved as a "super mod." Do you still call them that? There seems to be a slew of new features and user labels to get my head around. LOLed at Jame's OB Royalty... Nice! I like this little tongue-in-cheek forum style tags named after me that mimics my old post style, although I do not know why it wont cover my whole post. I've put the tags around the whole post! Oh well, probably wont use it anyway... [/kuja] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Oh, it looks like the HTML that the kuja tag inserts isn't fully compatible with the way IPB formats posts. vB just used line breaks for returns, so applying the styling to a span worked, but IPB uses paragraphs which break the span and makes the styling only apply to the first line.

I just updated it to use a div instead and it now appears to be working properly! â??Also, just because I was curious if I could do it, it seems I successfully associated all of your old posts with your new account.

SaiyanPrincessX Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Holy crap, the graphic worm! I remember mine seemed to ruin the flow and Boo had to fix it. Lol! I loved creating artwork and showing it here though. Such awesome times. Boo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yah, I was on here a lot back starting around 2003. This was the first board/forum I took an active part in. Glad to see it still exists in some form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a slew of new features and user labels to get my head around. LOLed at Jame's OB Royalty... Nice! [/kuja] Hey kuji. ;-) I think we were all very different. Things used to seem so much bigger - and I guess they were at one stage! I remember when I'd log into OB each day and find dozens (and, at times, well over a hundred) new posts across the forums. It really did feel like OB was a big community, but not as painfully big as a 4chan or something like that. As it is, I never really got into message boards much after OB. I post occasionally on AppleInsider, but that's about it. I used to post on Steam User Forums, but now the Half-Life area has died down so much that I don't really bother anymore. OB was really the only place that had that really unique mix of topics (everything from political debate to video games to RPGs). :) It's good to see some people still around. Although, there are a few people who just disappeared and I've always wondered what happened to them... DouglasMr and Flash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol' Fighter Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm not a newbie or an oldie just a tag along from '06, but maaaaaaan I do remember how I would anxiously hop back and forth from this site and my actual school work etc. When I remember what was going on in my life back then all I can say is this. Holy sh*t, Batman. The OB will always have a soft spot in my cold, dark, little heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 The one thing that always gets me through the day is the saying, Nother day, Nother dollar!

James Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah, another year, another post... :D I think there's no chance of resurrecting OtakuBoards to anything like its former glory; maybe I was just trying to create some sort of discussion (and navel-gazing has always been popular at OB - maybe that's my fault!) Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year. I miss you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskedRider Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 BWAHAHA! After 10,000 years I'm free! Time to troll... ah forget it. Yeah, I was here back in the Early 2000's. I went by MaxSonic, and I got banned mutiple times. I had multiple accounts, trolled people, and had a weird or just immature sense of humor. I WAS good at writing stories, although I would occasionally do a humerous one featuring board members. I'm sure I was a thorn in James side quite often. Btw, do you still like Jet Set Radio James? Anyways, I came back shortly during college after James erased all the banned accounts, and I've mellowed out since then. So don't worry, I will keep trolling at bay.

James Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ah, MaxSonic. How are you going these days? Yes, I still like Jet Set Radio; in fact, I just downloaded it from Xbox Live Marketplace. There are some great Sega classics there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
