Akira13 1,036 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Hey, what's up, Akira13 here. So I guess the last time I posted was in 2008, and that itself was also a "haven't been here in a while post", which is super weird to think about if I'm being honest. I can barely comprehend the fact that I created my account in 2002, AT THE AGE OF NINE. In summation I think that AC is probably a legitimate contender for longest running forum on the internet, for real. Also, how have you guys been? Any old-timers still hanging out? 1 Sledgstone reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Hiryu 2,704 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Well what do we have here. Whats up Akira, long time no speak. Old timers are all that's left around here and we're a dying breed as it is (all the new people run away shortly after joining if they're not bots, beginning to think we either smell or are scaring them away).

Akira13 1,036 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 They just don't make 'em like they used to then, eh? Haha... site looks good though, there's certainly a whole lot of features that didn't exist the last time I was here. 1 Sledgstone reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 For realz, you need an avatar and adjust your sig in settings. lol Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still have Zoidberg.... You all still have Zoidberg! .... Yeah that would've made more sense if I had made myself a Zoidberg avatar.... 2 Strider Hiryu and Sledgstone reacted to this Quote Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables.

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Good to see you Akira13! I've been pretty good. I always seem busy with work, games and my little dog Pikachu. How have you been? Thanks for the positive comments on the site. We went through a very long dead period for a couple years of low activity and heavy spam bots. We relaunched the site after I switched us over to a new forum software. Things have been better here, but like Strider said, its just a handful of us old timers here now. New people are welcome, but most people seem to be lurkers. Oh, and most of the new features and whatnot can be found in topics in the News & Announcements forum. So many new features. And later this year, we'll be getting another big upgrade when the next major version of our forum software gets released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 17 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 I agree with aikra...I'm looking around like "What's this? What's this? There's color everywhereWhat's this? There's white things in the airWhat's this? I can't believe my eyesI must be dreamingWake up, jack, this isn't fairWhat's this?" No seriously I don't understand some of the features on here...I just popped back earlier this week, made new account because well frankly Duo was a different person from now, and hell I couldn't tell you the password, nor the email that account was on.

Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 'ello! Nice to see another new/old name.

This new software was definitely a good choice, yeah, compared to whatever the old one was.... phpBB I think? Or am I wrong? I just know that it was the one that seemed to be employed by every forum everywhere in the early to mid 2000s, haha. For realz, you need an avatar and adjust your sig in settings. lol Noted.... I guess the old Yusuke Urameshi avatar/sig combo didn't survive my multiple years of neglect, lol.

DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 If it was uploaded to a geocities or angelfire account back in the day, then probably not. Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira13 1,036 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) When I deleted the broken link earlier it seemed to direct to an Imageshack URL.... And as I certainly never paid for any sort of premium account there, no wonder it was broken Note: Ok, I definitely haven't been an active forum user in a long time, it took me a solid three edits to figure out how to do the normal hahaha.

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Don't forget to go into your settings and set your notification options. I love how this site's notifications work. Its probably my favorite feature. I've been good Sledge, just working a lot. This new software was definitely a good choice, yeah, compared to whatever the old one was.... phpBB I think? Or am I wrong? I just know that it was the one that seemed to be employed by every forum everywhere in the early to mid 2000s, haha. Oh man.. I remember when we used phpBB. That was such a long time ago. We were using vbulletin a year ago.. it really turned to crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger 250 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Hey Akira, I'm kinda the same, Every so often I'll check in with the intention of sticking around, but then work picks up, I get busy with other projects/gaming/anime etc. Don't feel bad about all the features, I don't even know half of them and I don't feel like learning the them Guess I'm kind of old school but it's kind of sad since I work in IT. Seriously it's good to see you, you defiantly need an avatar and sig. I was surprised to see mine still on photobucket, haven't used it in years. AC is like the zombie virus, we are all infected and (re)turn eventually Haha, yea that must be it, now if we can just figure out how to get us to stay 1 Sledgstone reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted March 9, 2014 Hey Akira. I remember u. Been a long time for me but I couldnt help but return.

Akira13 1,036 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I presume you used to be just Sesshoumaru, and not the "HK" thereof? Whatever that means? I really don't know. Edited March 10, 2014 by Akira13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Omgosh the HK actually stands for hentai kitty. It sounds perverted but I like the cat girls I see in anime. You know the girls with cat tails and ears. I dont know what u technically call them. Basically im the hentai cat girl who belongs to sesshomaru. Sesshomaru being a demon dog. Me being a cat girl from a hentai movie. I just thought it was cool. *SHRUGS* Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Well, Toutousai...don't you think it's a pity for Tessaiga?
