ZU Veterans - Show us some of your old posts!

[Asci]

So, some of us have been around for a long time, and it's always interesting to go back and see some old posts of yours. I really wish that there was record of the forums before July 1st 2003, when the forum was wiped for reasons I cannot remember, so more of my noobtastic posts could be seen, but oh well.

This thread is for nostalgia and laughs, so I'll kick it right off. :3

Number one, I just love this thread:

Zu Is Up!!!

And now, for some Asci!

Ascius is trying to flame! Oh boy! I think he's gotten better since then.

Uh..... my parents are the most annoying. Singing songs on the radio when I want to hear the song, or when I really don't want to hear the song..... Embarassing me and my sisters all the time.....

I don't understand this post. I love singing in the car. Stupid Ascius.

Or something like that. I know Din's the lowest, and Farore has 45.

Uh.. Clans are bigger now. :3

Some threads:
Spammiest forum Contest
I think there's a new forum that might just beat out all the ones mentioned there.

The Newbie
A short story I wrote about a newbie's journey onto Zelda Universe. Nostalgic. <3

Ascius has left the building...
And, of course, there's my leaving thread, which caused much sadness around the forum. :<

The Deku Leaf is very cool! I also liked Link's expressions, like when the mailbox coughs up a letter or something
I also still like the part where he gets shot into the Forsaken Fortress by the pirates
LOL one of the things I just love to do is that big spin attack, as long as possible and then the stars round his head and his eyes and stuff.. it's just funny imo
I liked the music in the game, but I do think there could've been a little more classic zelda tune..
I also think I like the fact t hat they don't say everything, just some silly sounds.. I dunno why I, just like it and well yeah it does leave something to imagine.

also I liked Link's hair! when he's not wearing his tunic yet it's cute!

LOL. Contrary to what I *thought*, I apparently have touched the Zelda forums at one point in time. This is a painful revelation :<

I used the word cool?

I still don't like myself very much.. but I don't talk about that very much with my parents either.. they know I didn't like myself when I was younger, and they know I'm doing better now, but that's it. I've also been very stressed and kinda depressed cos we moved so far away and I didn't like it here at all

So they know umm.. half of what I'm feeling I guess..because I sometimes talk to my mom

Cheer up emo kid o___o

Zelda is a more developped character

Ok, what the heck?

(1200 posts whee! haha)

[Big Bro Davidia]

Nice thread. Now let's look at some CLASSIC BBDEeeeeeh

Oh, the days I could get up hours earlier to moderate...only two more months before school again (and my car is dead-->need to find another one, my tuition has increased, and my financial aid has DEcreased...&tc, &tc...). Lord, get me through this.

Amazing. Will ZU see the day where Hasaki is once again banned? ;0)

I suppose this is all necessary for the good of ZU...especially during the summer months.

Okay, and for the sake of the thread:

Uh-oh, a sneak-peak at the old restricted forums!! And yes, ZU saw the time when Hasaki was once again banned. Aaaand yes God saw me through ;0)

hehe, anyway-->Kishin...I've been off a LOT...who were you b4?... ... ...you MUST have changed your name. *runs around in circle for two hours* .... "Mmmm.....dooooooughnuuut....!!" ;0)

You know which member I miss the most? BBD. Where HAS that dude GOTten to??!

*thinks* Hmm...maybe this'll get me the Craziest Post award...ooorr...maybe not *runs from Ascius*

Now I see why I didn't get the Craziest Post award. That was just .. not crazy, eh, Bret? And Kishin was MasterOni or Jordan whom no one remembers here anymore. . . If you didn't realize it, that was the thread where we had 5000 registered members. We've got a lot more active members now than we did then, btw, too.

Great Job, Drosh!

Droshi the Yoshi invented the community thread (or at least that's what HE said). It was an epic moment. Most of you guys probably take the place for granted.

In fact, as much as HALF of this THREAD is a close cousin of Spam!

Okay, peeps, from now on contribute something worthwhile.

It seems I was making up for lost time, that day.

De todos modos, mis pensamientos y benediciones van a tu, compadre.

This was the day The Merchant / Achirio / Ozzy resigned... my Spanish has..changed..since then.

EDIT: haha, Susanne, you were flippy back then :0P

[Eijiro]

God, this is depressing. From my welcoming topic:

Hey everyone, I just registered here under the guidance of one of my friends, who goes by the name MERCUTIO here. i met takeshi (or merc i guess) through his homestay, who is one of my friends. anyway yeah, merc has been helping me out with my japanese studies recently and i spotted him surfing the forums, asked him about them, and decided to join!

what to say... i'm 14, living in Brisbane, Australia - where i was born. hmmm... i'm interested in Asian culture and entertainment (one of the reasons why merc rocks... cds xD) and i am learning japanese, and have in the past learnt mandarin chinese and korean.

i hope to make some friends here, it seems like a nice community...

What ever happened to proper capitalization and punctuation, Eijiro!?

From a thread about "respect":

Who do I respect?

I respect everyone here. Everyone has earnt my respect until they do something to lose it. And so far, no one has lost an ounce of my respect. I don't care if they're a Moderator, and Admin or a regular member, I respect them all the same.

Wow, how things changed...

How I married andi

I found this delightful thread. It makes me long a bit for the days when everyone knew everyone else. A thread like this today would be locked straight off because it wouldn't mean anything, but back then it was BIG NEWS.

And, BBD, you will NEVER take my Craziest from me! :3

[Big Bro Davidia]

Oh man...Bret, I REALLY needed those laughs, man! We covered SO MUCH GROUND in that convo, hahaha... "Is Pie Cake?" "Pie >> CAKE?" and of course "What is a ZU Mariage?!?"

*wipes tears away* aah, the good ol' days ;0) I had forgotten how much fun we used to have.

*uses his Counselor's secret coding* BBD says, :0) (be well, John Spartan)

[Eijiro]

But wait, there's more!

Might as well post here. I'm only 14 years old, and I am definately still a virgin. I have no intention to be loosing my virginity anytime soon. I'm not waiting 'till marriage for it, but I am waiting until I'm ready for it, and I am waiting for the right girl also.

If you ask my opinion, I hear alot of people my age at school talking about their sexual deeds, and it makes me sick. All the people here seem to be mature enough to handle it, but it's a completely different story with people at my school. They seem to treat every girl they have intercourse with as another "trophy on the stand", and they'll flaunt it around and brag about it for days, until a new one comes along.

My god, this made me laugh pretty hard. How times have changed.

[Big Bro Davidia]

I should hope they haven't :0P You had a good view back then.

Well, parts have changed a lot, and parts have stayed the same. Part of me was very naive back then, and I think I've wisened up a lot and become more of a realist, if anything.

[skate_mate]

Hahahaha... xD I am almost in tears reading some of these. Eijiro, you think you had crap musical taste back then!? :-O I still like a good many of those bands, haha!

Let's have a look at my first days...

When i first came on i thought that the moderaters were wayyyyyyy too strict but after a week i completely understand it. The only other message boards I'm a member of is a few msn roms groups and some skating website's boards. In both of those there is practically no moderater and they are filled with spam (ecspecially http://www.skateboard.com/Frontside/...pics.asp?ID=11). On this board however the quality of the posts is high, good job moderators!

Well, apparently ZU has been good enough for me to more or less stick around! :-P

Most nintedo games are like this. Most of my friends have at least one of the new consoles and they agree that nintedo games are the best because of the quality work put into them. PS2 games seem always to be rushed and made half-arsed while nintendo looks as if to have pride in their work and *usually* only produce quality games instead of crap ones. I'm not saying that they don't make their fair share of mistakes though. I still play my N64 now even though the controller is so crapped up that i cant even run when playin zelda. Goldeneye has to be the best 1st person shooter ever made I rekon. I doubt that other companies would be able to produce such timeless classics as this. But oh well i dont know that much anyrate thats just my 2 cents

xD Oh, woes to be me. I couldn't afford a GCN as I spent all of my money on skateboarding equipment! Haha.

You sure lived up to your name then, didn't you?

Good to see you've started writing in paragraphs :>

Definitely I did... but then again, I almost listen to 0 Japanese pop groups anymore. I listen to a few bands from Japan, but that's about it. In the past year or so my musical taste has really changed dramatically.

Woah, that actually does not sound like you at all! Hahaha.

[skate_mate]

Wow, Kas, are you serious? You music really HAS changed dramatically then. THta reminds me, how are those Lullatones albums going? I'd like to borrow those of you someday.

Yeah, the funny thing is that today the content would not change. As Nen said, I would write it in paragraphs with more polysyllabic words, but apart from that not much would change. I only buy one or two Nintendo games a year, usually after they've been released for a good many months.

Yeah, indeed. I think if anything, spending a year over in Japan actually widened my perspective and allowed me to branch off and discover stuff outside of Japanese music; which I think is very important. In fact, most of the music I listen to these days was recorded before I was born.

Lullatone are really awesome chill-out music. I think the recorded disc doesn't really measure up to the live performance, but it really does fit the bill of "Pajama Pop". It's the kind of thing you could easily just drift off to sleep to. Will bring it along next time I see you!

Yeah, indeed, I think the most major thing that changes with everyone is the way they format their posts, and of course the amount of proper grammar and varied vocabulary they use. I guess it kind of comes naturally as you age and grow older with the board.

Yeah, indeed ;0) I used to write super large posts, but now I'm laconic (but not to a fault).

I guess I've just learned that some things don't need to be said. This is reflected in my day-to-day speech, as well.

[sea]

I really would not like to. Thankfully, it's impossible. You see, I'm so ashamed of everything I do and say that I delete all posts I make that are older than two months. So there's no good trying to look for them. None at all.

[skate_mate]

Teehee, early sea posts:

Sea was a grammar nazi!? :-O Who would have known? Somethings never change, hey.

You pretty much only seemed to have posted in the art forums initially:

Laugh out loud.

[sadida]

I've looked back through alot of my posts, and I've realized something:

sadida is not interesting.

*laughs*

Really, all my posts have been pretty much the same throughout all the years, and it doesn't appear to have changed.

*NOSTALGIA FTW*
