I was a day late, so.

Sometime in Fall 2003 - I think it was on or around Halloween - RV hosted a drop party in the Party Room, back when that building was located in Seers' Village. I happened to be nearby, and the rest is history.

Thanks for all the good times, good friendships, the mafia games, the all-nighters in chat. The projects that, although never amounted to much, gave many of us a sense of purpose. Thanks to anyone who ever recommended a video game or anime to me, especially Pyro3000 for his consistently solid recommendations. Thanks to this community, as a whole, for simply existing and giving me the assurance that I was never really alone in my interests or in general.

Thanks to Jaron and Topsummoner for presently keeping our community alive in their own ways, and everyone before them who ever held any position of leadership or obligation to this community, as enjoyable or grueling as it may have been. There are many I could list, but I absolutely have to mention Glodenox, Applequest, and A5chow. If it weren't for their involvement, during some very critical periods in our history, I doubt we would still have what we have today.

Thanks to the Discord regulars for still being there to this day.

Wait...the Party Room is no longer in Seers' Village??? That's...well I guess that doesn't change much, but I spent many nights standing in its upper floor doing alchemy, so it's kind of sad to hear it moved.

Also, Applequest, how do you see these literally within 20 minutes like every time, what the heck. :P

Anyway, yup yup, same to you Jack! Lots of memories on these tan backgrounds. The whole reason we had a nice Pub 2.0 is because of your hard work, so I would say several projects actually amounted to quite a bit.

Impressive! What's it like when the forums randomly go down for 17 days? Is it like a phantom limb situation? :P

More like a cross between a severe brain freeze and having something at the tip of your tongue but you can remember it.

I'm glad there is a Discord to chat in but I'm even gladder Jaron kept ThePub alive. Because a Discord isn't quite the same as this for nostalgia.

FYI I make no promises about how long it will last. Every few months something new fails and the whole thing is so old I have a strong suspicion updating it will break it for good. :(

But thanks. :) It's still nice to see people on the same tech I spent many years enjoying!

Congratulations Jack :) a looooooong time. It's something special (maybe) having been among a generation that actually appreciates patronage to real communities that really made a difference to people's live on and offline.
