I missed my 10 year mark. At least, I don't remember mentioning anything about it. Now it's been over 11 years.
My brother and a friend got me to join. I hadn't really played any of the FFs when I joined, but I did through the years. And I don't think I actually said much during my first year as a member. I remember starting a journal in 2003, and then getting invited into the AIM chatroom as a result of that, and participating in an RP with a few members who were active back then: Anarchy (who I later dated in high school and college - we went to the same art school - for almost 3 years) and El Uno Nut (Walter these days). Also Piroblaze (Victoria now) was very welcoming. I talked to Cesar, Spike, and che a LOT back then. I remember Pete in the chatrooms, but he wasn't on as much by then, if I remember correctly. I am still fond of all o' dem. Cesar and I had a thang and made out in a book store once.......... TFF is pretty much my online dating site, so..
In 2006, I was in AIM chats with Anarchy (later LoverBoy), Archis, Bunny, Strong Bad, and Melanie most of the time. Also SoldierNUMBERs (or S) when he was online. I made us MS Paint banners like these:
^Valentine potato is because Dan (Anarchy) carved a potato valentine for me?
And I started talking to Pete more. Also Jin Kazama (Djinn now). His name is Andy, and we sent each other Christmas gifts across the globe. I sent him ginger snaps and peppermint bark. I still use the neck pillow he sent me all the time. And I can't forget my other favorite Englishman, Joe (Neo Necron). But I called him JOOOEEEEEEEE. I also talked to .ecKs. (or however his name was damn capitalized) quite a bit, and he even got phone cards to call me from Canada every so often. He was a really nice guy even if he did **** around on the forum a lot.
Later on, I got to know rJflow too. We are redheads together, and he's jelly of everything awesome about the south because he lives in Canada land.
Speaking of reheads, Danica (Ryu)and I sported redhead banners that she made for a while. Spicy.
Around 2008 or 2009, I started talking to Rocky and later Gypsy. And che came back around, and I started talking to him again too. Sometime around then, I was either GC mod or I had already been made an Smod, and a bunch of the dudes started talking some crazy shit on the forum. I told them to stop, and they invited me into a chatroom to insult me and tell me to get the sand out of my vagina. I don't think I spoke to any of them again until they apologized, and they eventually did.
I consider che one of my dearest friends, but I've banned him before lol.
There are many others that I could mention. The point of all this: I came here because of the members and I stayed because of the members. The community waxes and wanes, but it will always be dear to me.
EDIT: LMAO I also made this hahahahaa
Everyone wanted to be sailor scouts, so we all picked our person and I made that awful thing. Still with MS Paint.
