Fallen Heroes of TAO

[Bottle]

On a whim (yes, I'm bored, there's no one on rev) I decided to take a look down the top posters list. I thought it'd be interesting to do a "where are they now?"

So in descending order, number-of-posts-wise... (all posters with post count over 500 included, notably missing a lot of veterans)

Now, that's a LOT of missing veterans. No wonder the forums are going downhill.

[Iceage Heatwave]

How long did that take you?

Doesn't the cheat post regularly?

[MtSlayer]

Scroll Lock isn't Sir Vival, it's Lord Eric. Who's very much around, he beat me down just the other day.

[Bottle]

I'm sure Vival came back as Scroll Lock. Oh well. One member doesn't make that much difference.

Yes, Iceage, The Cheat posts regularly. That's why he's in the last section. :rolleyes:

[Wayfaerer]

You excluded my name! :rolleyes:

[Kyo]

You forgot Anal Champion. And me :)

[ArcPaladinZero]

Yeah I've really dropped off in my posting. The flood of noobs made me turn away from the forums. Plus I've been really stressed in the last few months with school and work. Even if I post rarely, I will continue to post here. If to anyone, I must prove to myself that I can passionately continue something and never give up. I'll never completely turn away from this forum. It's just something I'm proving to myself. Because if I can't stick to this, something so simple, what can I stick to? It's just me. :)

[search66]

What about Lord Ducki? And now Med?

[Rabi en Rose]

Not here at all? I think you underestimate my lurking ability, Bottle :P

[Bottle]

I KNEW this would work!

I'e shamed one back into posting already :)

Wayf, you don't have 500 posts, so you don't qualify :p

Search, I did say the list wasn't exhaustive. A lot of veterans don't have more than 500 posts. But I'm not trawling through another 4 pages of members today.

[OHNOITSKALAMADY]

I don't see my name on that damn list.

[Northwind]

I'd put the following in the "No longer here":
Rescorlian

And the following, I'd move to "Post rarely":
drakonfire
abyaly
insignifiGant
Elentari
Glamdring
ReNeGAdE
sOOisiDal
WaCk-HeAd
plusminus (until recently)
BoBo The Fool
Rabi en Rose (this thread only)

[Bottle]

Resc does post here still. But only on the SI thread in clan discussion.

As for the rest, until recently they didn't post at all. I haven't seen a post by insig especially for months. But that's not the point of the exercise.

The point is to show that of the 100-odd posters with 500+ posts, 60 of them don't post here much / at all any more. For those of you who say the forum is being run into the ground by Bills, it's not. It's the loss of veteran posters, which is making the forum boring. Notice that a good proportion of the absent posters are the funny ones.

Although part-way you are correct, some of those very veterans have been driven out by Bills himself.

[Cephas]

*Looks at list*

*Blinks*

*Looks at list again*

*Bursts into tears*

Aw, Bottle, you get to be my hero now! I think that this is the first time I have ever made a list in the TAO forums. :o Mind you, its kind of degrading to me that the list is... what did you say? 100 posters long... :(

*sigh*

[Bottle]

Aw, Bottle, you get to be my hero now!
WOOHOO!

And another one comes back :)

My evil plan is working perfectly... now to use my SUPER MEGA ULTRA EVIL MIND CONTROL POWERS OF UNLIMITED DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM to keep them all here! Mwhahahahahaha...ha...haaaaaaaaa...

[Jonspen]

Woot, I actually made the list!

Woot woot.

[Bottle]

Everyone with over 500 posts made the list.

*sigh*

When will people learn to read...

[Jonspen]

I did read.

I just still glad I made the list!

Now it's not just my mommy who thinks Im special!

[Cephas]

WOOHOO!

And another one comes back :)

I hate to break it to you Bottle, but after I read this one, I read Med's thread. Read my post there, I think I need to leave again...

[drakonfire]

ha! so someone noticed i was MIA for a while at least... bvut yeah i'm back for the most part, but i do find quite a few threads (read: vast majority) arent worth posting in lately :(

[S_K_O_F]

ha! so someone noticed i was MIA for a while at least... bvut yeah i'm back for the most part, but i do find quite a few threads (read: vast majority) arent worth posting in lately :(

ah...it is always nice to see you posting though

now lets make a list of people who were posting on the forum in 2003

and see which ones are actually still here

[Cavour]

Only post very rarely
...
Cavour
...

I'll be back pretty soon. :)

[paulk6]

Wow... I'm actually on that list? And I do post regularly, just not very much. But I check out the forums literally every day. Woot.

Edit - And Skof... I would be on that list :D

Edit2 - I know everyone with 500 posts made the list... But this is the first list I've made... So... :D

Edit3 - And Cav... Glad to hear it *Insert Smiley Here*

[Bottle]

I'm glad to see that my thread brought a few people back, and that some of you are here to stay. :)

[Kyir]

Warcow?

[Jonspen]

And I do post regularly, just not very much.

:rolleyes:

[Spit_101]

Where is Warcow? He might have a low post-count. But he's definatly a TAO hero, no doubt.

By the way Glam is back in the game. :)

[Bottle]

Warcow's on the list of no-longer-heres.

[Blexican]

I think I should be on there? Well it would make me feel good :cool:


(and btw if you saw me with the banned under my name yes I was banned for 1 day and I deserved it, no I wasnt bieng bad I just got carried away with spamming.)

[Swartzstrom]

Wait a minute. I'm a vet?

[emerald slasher]

nice list there bottle hopefully it does bring people back lol i wisah wolf was on the vets list even though he hasnt hit 500

ps bottle take a rep :)

I still randomly appear now and again to invade the Nj forum to speak to people, laugh at the changes in the forum and understand why this game will go downhill.

Through all my silliness I saw the light...

Suppose that's why I like alot of the -old- Netjak members but dislike the clan, I like alot of the old TAO pros and vets and heavily dislike the noobs that appeared in the past 5-6 months and consider many people like Bottle and Twelve far better players in terms of overall persona compared to anyone around now :/

Ah well, nice to see I've been listed as a vet.

<3 you lots Bottle

[Elentari]

I actually read the forums all the time, though I hardly ever post. It's just not worth the effort anymore!

So true :(

[h()()t]

i am finding it hard to come back to a dead game. it is all bills dam fualt

[Serge]

I post regularly? Heh...news to me. Also, North, Ceph, drak, Cav, and Ele, I command you all to post more often.

[Amaroth]

It's kind of funny...

I do horrible in school, and got a computer for my room. That's why I was able to return so much sooner than I thought.

Cavour gets good grades in school and lost his computer.

[emerald slasher]

hhaahahhaah cmon cav get those grades up...

[Foundation]

meh.......i still read the forums from time to time however i don't post as much anymore :D dun wry

[BlackSyphon]

this is like that TAO phone book....those were the days of the delightful forum posting...oh and Elen...posting doesn't take much energy, even you can do it :p (no you can see the posting musclues of the true post whores :D )

du

[Elentari]

It's not the time or the strength that it takes, it's just that I refuse to post unless I have something interesting to say. These days, it's rather hard.

[BlackSyphon]

agreed, since 75% of the topics are either spam or interesting anyways, thats exactly why bottles post count is more that 10 times as much as mine :) He always has something interesting say...usually ;) I...don't

[theburning]

I guess you just aren't an interesting person! :)

Also, I'm obviously kidding.

[Serge]

No she's not.

[cs_zero]

Shes a very interesting person. ;) ;)

[theburning]

Shes a very interesting person. ;) ;)

I find people are really starting to misuse that face !

Unless you meant that in a flirtatious way?

[cs_zero]

Both. :) :)
Its the only face here that doesnt want to make me smash my computer.

[Foundation]

where is jeffery :( :mad:

[theburning]

Both. :) :)
Its the only face here that doesnt want to make me smash my computer.

Really?
I find it to be the most annoying face.
The only one that I actually somewhat enjoy is the :eek: face.

[cs_zero]

I guess the :eek: has some potential....
Smilie update: bo1 said he...or they, i dont remember wich, were looking into some new smilies....

[theburning]

Smilie update: bo1 said he...or they, i dont remember wich, were looking into some new smilies....

I'd rather we just got the old ones back. I miss the :cool: SO much.

[cs_zero]

I asked him if that was possible, he said he could not recover them.

[drakonfire]

ah...it is always nice to see you posting though

now lets make a list of people who were posting on the forum in 2003

and see which ones are actually still here

thanx skof :D (you know after you posted i slapped myself in the forehead for not listing you anywhere...)

*raises hand* i was here in 2k3!!! *blinks*

wow...

its been a long time, lol

I'll be back pretty soon.

w00t! my fallout buddy! yay!

[Glamdring]

Very poignant thread. Thanks for reopening the wounds, bot. Like a knife in the side. I see how you treat friends now. Plus, you brought Rabi out of his/her hole, which serves SO well to remind me how he/she spurns my undying love for him/her. Dig the dagger deeper, why don't you? Just jam it in there, it's no biggy. In fact, why don't you post a thread that gets Cavholesauce to post as well, proving that while he won't come back for me, some BRIT will do it for him. Oh wait. YOU DID. Just kill me now. That hatchet looks nice in my back, doesn't it? Aim a little lower next time, I don't think you quite hit the heart. Nevermind, that's a lie. You did. JERK!

Whoa.

Ermm...

Anyway...

The reason why Jeff and Blex aren't on there is because I just went down the top poster list yesterday, and put each member where I thought they should be. Serge, I've seen you post quite a lot, so I put you in the last category; if you don't, that's my bad. :) People should stop thanking me for putting their names on the list. I didn't do it because I respect you as veterans (I mean, Ct Jack Sparrow's name is on the list) but because you have 500+ posts.

[Blexican]

wow Im not in the top posters list? and btw thanks now I really feel good :(

[Megabyte]

this thread made me laugh :)

a lot of ppl take it as an honor they're recognized for having +500 posts ;) guess they don't get honored too often.

Lots of revived vets though from this...

[Cavour]

w00t! my fallout buddy! yay!
:cool:

Awww, Glammy! I'd post for you! Bottle just happen to mention me in the Not-so-here category, so I was saying I'd be back pretty soon. Don't worry! I still heart you! :cool:

[lostandconfused]

You should heart me, too. After all I did for you!

[Wayfaerer]

Cav rocks the house :cool:

[Warcow]

It'd be interesting to go back through this now, we've got a bunch that are back, and a bunch more that have left.

I'll see if I can get a census :)

[Coffin Fedder]

Bottle, you can now add me to that list! LOL

[meat.eater]

You should update the Phone Book too. Lots of new folk.

And you could elaborate on some older people that have changed and what not

You don't understand the horror of that thread . . . Not only the trouble of making the entries and links . . . The endless PM's from newbies asking to be included, the train of whiners . . .

Oh god, I don't ever want to touch that thread ever again.

I guess i have a project to do then.

When I decide its worth it.

Oh, eventually I'll do it, but it'll be VERY grudgingly . . .

[allstarGL]

Allstar (01/24/2005): Great lakes fabled rusher, Allstar is a rare voice around the forums, but can always be found in great lakes dominating wherever players play.

LIES ALL LIES!!

Would you go faster for a bunch of ewoks?

;)

[Megabyte]

pff, dominating and GL go together lick kidergarten and bully.
One trout would wipe them all out! :*ph34r2:

I think I sent a pm asking to be removed from that bloody thing at some point..though I can't remember why.

and this list needs updating, or at least to be let back down into the depths of necroism

[The Seat]

Bottle could make a list of everyone's extra forum name they forgot about and let hibernate for about a year before remembering it existed. Then we'd at least double the list.

[dirka dirka]
