You mean that stupid kid who moderated the Sega forum and GGD?
Actually, I'm kind of sad to admit I don't think I have that avatar anymore. I could redo it easily, but it's not the same and stuff.
Ah yes, good ol' weird albino picture.
I'm boggled to see no one mentioned Ask A Dominatrix. Geez.
I remember Goatboy's dog-abuse avatar. I think those were Harvest Moon sprites, right? Also cockblazer, loooool. Worse: "White sabbath". Hey wait, I remember the actual member Black Sabbath. Trippy.
I remember Glenn being an admin, and being a moderator with aspirations of administratorness. I remember him making gleeok sprites for ZC, based on screenshots of the upcoming Oracle of Seasons.
I remember when Zelda64gld was a fairly new thing. What a BSIXELUA POLRA BAER.
I remember there being a hell of a lot of members who have since gone elsewhere; for some random ones I don't know the whereabouts of, Goatboy, Elemental Knight, Carrot Red, JJ and Foxy- JJ's still around here somewhere, isn't he?-, Dark Templar, Kenage, the aforementioned Black Sabbath, that Frost guy, Mercy... of course, some of those hated me the last time I saw them so it's probably for the best ^^' My attachment to AGN hasn't always remained warm and fuzzy, sadly. But in almost every case, I think it actually wound up being a good learning experience. Probably.
2001 was pretty much like, the golden era, though. Mmmmm. Lots of people, all of us a bit younger, much livelier, much friendlier. The anghst and bullshit were around, but so much lesser, and so avoidable. I'm not completely sure what changed this, but it's kind of sad that AGN has developed a bit of a "bitter old man" complex from it.
I remember when the chat was new and there was a java client. I remember the chat being active and popular for a long while. I spent a lot of time in there, and have some particularly good memories, experiences, and friendships to thank it for.
Now I'm just being sappy. Sorry 'bout that. But that's okay, because Sega will return with a new 256 bit system and destroy all competition except Nintendo because they are good!!!!!! And I will make really long ornate posts but the content might be really stupid, sorry about that!!!!!!
