Sabre Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 *in Tom Baker voiceIt is the year 2010 and SFO, the cradel of starfox fans. Attacked from outside by hackers and no new games. Attacked from within by trolls and godmodders. For quite a long time it has endured...*end obscure reference. If anyone here gets it I will be suprisedI've been on a fair few forums, alot of which have died usual due to internal drama or have turned to sludge by allowing idiots to thrive. However, over the years people keep mentioning 'classic members' as if they were kings. People are described as important and pivital despite not being around for years.The only forum I have ever seen that was a mod forum where I even moderated and had tester permissions for a while and helped newbies to their feet. While the forum rarly has posts due to a crack down on off topic discussion, Im still on standby for v4.0, ready to leap into action with an updated video tutorial and spotting tau codex errors. Despite being a somewhat serious addition, no one is ever addressed as pivotal and important save for the guy who started it all.To be fair, I'm not really interested in history, nostalgia and regrets, Im all about future, progress and change. Even so, what did happen in the early days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Stelar Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 the only info i know is that this site was '.com' before it became '.net' nowPlus, many members haven't been active since then, but I think they were replaced by new members right now and even more.

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I remember someone suggesting this place to me about five years ago or so when I was over at AL. Of course, that was when SF-O was just starting up and building a member base.Eventually I ended up leaving AL and made SF-O my home base. People are much nicer here.Sure, over the years I've been active off and on, but I'm really happy to be a part of this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Oh boy. Back in the day.... What this makes me sound uber old.I remember when I first joined here we had that default grey ppBpbH (whatever it's called) theme. I used to be apart of ArwingLanding but wanted to join another forum so I found SF-O on my own. We had XG Fox, Mr. K (under a different name) as admins. ESF, Steve, Lupine Shawn and Ramzy (Ramuza) were Mods. We even thought of adding RP Mods and other stuff at the time. Also, I along with Whirlpool, Kally, Kit Airheart, Chiro and Eclipse Passion were among the few ladies apart of these forums. Mind you not all of us joined at the same time. It was like maybe two active girls at a time maybe three. I'm happy there are more active girls. The guy to girl ratio was pretty non-existent at the time. I can say, I regret making the "Quote Pyramid of Doom" and "Let's Count to a Million". The former broke the interwebz and the latter was a sad excuse for a post count builder upper. A lot of past members that was active back in the back, I was pretty close with and cool. Some of them are still hanging around these here parts as am I. The general cluster of topics back then were totally different from what they are now. There was some drama back then too. Mainly from the huge wave of OMG Krystal topics and the speculation of Star Fox Command. But I had tons of fun in the off-topic lounge. Now, I barely hang around there. I've been off and on these 4+ years (Nearly 5 OMG) but yeah, just my input. I'm sure other members can put their input in on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I do think DZ gave us a history lection on the site once, which ultimately ended in a heated discussion between him, Zicka and Falcory. I'll see if I can dig up the link.Found it. http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=5634.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 ^I believe this is more on what happened with SF-O itself in the past not the games. (Like reminiscing bout the good old days.) That topic looks pretty damn meaty though. I will check it out later. Hehehe.... I'm not surprised though, I always though Zicka was very lively in the discussions when Star Fox Command first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
