But I'm being careful to avoid my old posts. God they must be embarrassing.

Also when did this place stop being Online Orgy?

Also hi.

I was never that big on "Online Orgy"... :p

The Lounge of today is what happened when the admin totally obviously intentionally blew the doors off OD and then decided to do away with it altogether in favor of a big fat open yakkin' zone for everybody. So us old-timey guys would stop being elitist I guess or something. But yeah, all that happened.

And... that's... about all that's happened, I think.

Hey.

Okay, I know what you're here for. You're here to find the answer to a question. Just like you, many other former forumers come back now and again to ask the same question. A question that everyone wants to ask. A question with implications so horrible that they toss and turn in their sleep thinking about it.

Well put your mind at ease, because I can answer that question for you:

Yes.

Yes, I am still alive and as perfect as ever!

But I'm being careful to avoid my old posts. God they must be embarrassing.

Also hi.
Welcome back. You'll never leave.

Welcome back. You'll never leave.
We told him that almost a decade ago.

what am i doing with my life.

Well since you're here I might as well start another sprite comic! and get bored after two strips

But I'm being careful to avoid my old posts. God they must be embarrassing.

Your old posts won't be embarrassing when you see mine.

Won't be seeing them again in a few days anyway, might as well have one last look at my reign of stupidity

Welcome back. You'll never leave.

Way to jinx it dude.

Well since you're here I might as well start another sprite comic! and get bored after two strips
Now you've done it, you brought the end of the world as we know it.

Way to go SuperBlob you broke the whole thing

Well since you're here I might as well start another sprite comic! and get bored after two strips

Since I'm here? You're the one who linked me back here in the first place.

Also lawl. Oops.

Thanks a lot, jerk. Now what message board am I going to be the top poster of?!

See it this way: Now you'll always be the top poster of this board because no one will be able to post on it anymore. :p

Is that really you these days?

Actually, has it been you for quite a while now? I can't remember.

Ages.

What impresses me is that I'm 8th - ahead of svenneundulat.
Yeah I've been active over much more time than he was, but I used to think his post count was insane (and it was, 8 years ago...).

I knew it wasn't svenneundulat any more but I wondered if a somewhat more prolific poster such as Plasma had overtaken everyone by now.

I can't remember how to check post count either, and I don't remember what what mine was before they hid them from the profile.

Today is a good day for my memory.

These might well be post-cull figures though? Actually, that seems unlikely.

Is that really you these days?

Actually, has it been you for quite a while now? I can't remember.I have some 13 thousand posts. it's kind of ridiculous....

How am I just on place 31? I've made so many posts :/
Then again I was hardly ever active outside OD.

7246 posts, including this one...

More importantly. Who is going to get the last word? :eek:

What will become the leftmost tab on my Opera toolbar?
All these questions, all these changes!

All these questions, all these changes! I was thinking the same!

Luckily I just recently joined the Polycount forum, so one gaming forum will simply be replaced by another.

Don't worry - Opera is another thing that's going to ****, so you'll kill two birds with one stone.

*sigh*

I have a folder full of stuff from this forum.

OMG, I remember your sprite thing. That was awesome. You must start it again some time when we get full colour support ;)

W:A has had full colour sprite support for a long time.
But the tool used to get into the sprites file didn't the update sprites, so I was stuck with the old ones.

... How am I still 140?

Also, hi. Blame S2k.

Oh, man, I remember those animations! I was so bad back then! And even worse, I've recently lost the hard drive that all of my old work was stored on due to a mistake while making a backup and an unfortunate accident very shortly thereafter.

I'm pretty sure we all felt like artistes back then. I have a folder stock-full of wildly embarrassingly stuff. Specially avatars for some reason...

And, um, whatever this was. It's probably the oldest of the lot judging by the usernames, have fun trying to recognize them (specially with those JPG artifacts!)

Aww, that was when FutureWorm was in hospital and we all got together and made him a card.

Man, I'm so bummed I can't upload all the nostalgic stuff I have archived, yet... There's a lot of it.

Hahaha, oh man. All the animated avatars we made. I don't have any of my old avatars on this computer, but maybe I'll have to go rummage for them on my old ones.

Although I suspect Worm Mad has them anyway.

xXDangerXx made mine. It's nice.

I've always been quite fond of this avatar, though I can't use it anywhere else because this is the only forum I go by this name I post on nowadays.

I think if I dug around on my old computer (and I mean old) I could probably find some unfinished Worms animations and things.

Including, believe it or not, an animutation thing involving this thread (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=29442)...

EDIT: Speaking of which, I've been trying to find this thing for ages but some of you might be able to help. I've forgotten the name of it but does anyone recall this series of animations using the W:A sprites? I think there was a webcomic related to it but the only detail I remember is that it was made by 'Shoestring Productions' or something to that effect.

WormWars perhaps? I know that on the depths of one of my hard drives if I search on it I'll find a significant number of those. I occasionally speak to the guy (Eric Smith aka Misterags) who made it. I don't think anyone has a working copy of episode 4, sadly.

Say, that must be it. Although I can't find it anywhere online now (I probably couldn't the last time I tried it).
Those were great.

They've been offline for a while, but many of them have been archived. You'll need Shockwave which you probably haven't had installed in a few decades.

Episode 1: http://web.archive.org/web/20050224194011/http://wormwars.com/episodes/ww1b.htm

Episode 4: http://web.archive.org/web/20050225043216/http://wormwars.com/episodes/ww4.htm - unfortunately, only half of this will play, because it depends on another file which was never archived. I expect the only person with a copy is Eric, if that.

Unofficial fan-made spin-offs (Episode 4² and 4² 2) exist. Episode 4² has not been archived but I expect I have a copy on my hard drive somewhere. 4² 2 has been archived: http://web.archive.org/web/20050221034010/http://www.wormwars.com/episodes/wws2.htm

And finally, other spin-offs, spoofs and games. First we have Worm Wars Theatre:

Twisted Tales from Wormland also appears to be lost - if I remember correctly it was an "enter nouns, verbs, adjectives" type thing that would produce a vaguely amusing story with those inserted.

But I'm being careful to avoid my old posts. God they must be embarrassing.

oh man, this.

i love how i come back here like once a year and there's always a thread like this just starting.

hi everyone!

(robin says hi too but he forgot his login details)

(also these smilies are still the best, why don't they have these everywhere?)

edit 3: it's closing? man. gonna be sorry to see it go. i wouldn't be the internet nerd i am today without this place. well, my 10-year-old self had fun and made some friends, so i'm grateful for that in spite of the cringey comics and stuff.

see you, space cowboy!

Oh my goodness, thank you! I've been looking for these for ages - seriously, much appreciated. :D

Also Scotsworm, I was just about to say "Hey, welcome back - stick around" but I guess now you've realised ;)
