Thank You Guys

[Fuzz]

Hey everyone,

I know I haven't posted in probably over a decade, but I just wanted to say something real quick... something that is always on my mind but I just never say it... I love you guys and I love TFF. We've been through some major ups and downs... hell the site has been around since like 1998. I know the site isn't as active as it used to be so I just want to say thanks to everyone that is still around or lingering around. This site means a lot to me. I know I hardly post or say much but I always make sure the site is up-and-running. I wish I could do more but I just don't have the time... maybe some day I can come back and help update the site to get back to it's former glory days... but until then... I just wanted to drop in and say thanks to everyone. TFF truly has a place in my heart and it wouldn't be there without you guys. I hope to be more active sooner rather than later but I'm not making any promises. I now have 3 little girls (9, 7 and 4 year olds) and work like 60 hours a week running my web development business fishlinemedia.com. Working on TFF is fun for me and hopefully something that I can continue to work on again soon. Anyways... just wanted to drop a quick update and say hello to everyone that is still around

Oh my gosh, hey Fuzz! Glad to hear from you!

Yeah, TFF was my very first forum. I've been here, off-and-on, since the banner was a 16-Bit Cloud riding a Chocobo! Do you remember that?

I would love to see the activity pick up, but in this day-and-age, there's places like Facebook and Reddit and such that fulfills the need that forums like these once did. I don't know what could be done, if anything.

I love this place and its people, and I'll be here 'til the end.

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope to see you around more!

[Pete]

Thank you, Fuzz.

We wouldn't have this place without you and all of the work you've put into it over the past two decades. I'm very glad to be a member of this community, through thick and thin, and like Coff9, I'll be here until the end. Hell, this place has been a part of my life since I was a 14 year old dipshit. I'm a 32 year old dipshit now.

I'm happy to hear things are going well for you and that you're doing well. You deserve it.

[nix]

haha a post from Fuzz, a 20 year anniversary post no doubt

Glad to hear you're bigging up the family life my dood, and dont worry, we've always known you're a busy lil bee

And eh, dont work so much, 60 hours is a lot, time doesnt stand still, so reduce that if you can, i demand it

Seriously though, good to hear from you and keep on kickin ass!

[LocoColt04]

Back from the dead?!

I love it. Keep doing what you do, man.

[Meier Link]

Loco shouldnt that constitute a warning for literally nercoposting? Gwahhahaha.

Seriously though, Fuzz, its great to hear from you. Its been far to long. Glad everything is going well for you. Let not make it a habit of waiting a half a century before we hear from you again, ok?

[Taco-Calamitous]

Thanks for making this place, man. It has been a facet of my existence since 2001... which I guess was 18 years ago, holy shit. I have had my ups and downs with this place, but I appreciate all the ups, and all the good memories.

Good luck on your other endeavors.

[Rowan]

I havn't been here as long as some others, but this is the only forum I care about and it has almost everything to do with the people who I've interacted with here. If there's anything I can do to help bring life back into the forum, I'd do it.

[Xanatos]

No, thank you. It's hard to say anything meaningful without repeating what others have already said, but this place means to me more than I'm willing to admit sometimes. Ten truly great years went by on TFF, here's hoping for ten more.

Sometimes I remember I'm a supermoderator here

Sometimes I remember I'm a supermoderator here

Cool story bro

[Pete]

I was an admin once

[Taco-Calamitous]

I was a moderator still until I yelled at Cesar to make me not a moderator anymore, in like 2014 or something. I didn't want to feel responsible for this place anymore, lol.

[Yoko]

It's okay. You will always be our mother.

Thanks for all your hard work, Fuzz!

[Alpha]

Cool story bro

Man it'd be funny to ban you.

[nix]

Man it'd be funny to ban you.

C'mon now, cant actually have you lifting a moderator finger now.. can we?

Anyway, been there, done that, someone else will just unban me..

[Pete]

I remember one time Meier, Rocky and I got hammered on msn and we jokingly dared Meier to ban us for some stupid shit we were doing at the time. A few cocktails later, he wound up IP banning us accidentally, much to our panic.

Rocky and I had to unplug our routers to reset our IPs to circumvent it. Or we drunkenly asked Cesar to fix it. I'm not totally sure.

[Meier Link]

Hahahhaa I remember that time Pete. The glorious group chats and drunken shenanigan moments.The chat went nuts when they realized it was an IP ban and Oceaneyes wasnt therr to bail me out of that monumental f*** up.

Hell out side of you two and bots I think I have only ever had to ban one actual user. Lots of warnings and wrist slapping, specially in the ID threads.

Nix is a protected species.

[streaml1ned]

Fuzz! Holy crap dude its been awhile. Every so often, I'll poke my head in to satisfy my curiosity. Glad to see you and some of the older members active around here.

[SuperSabin]

Hey Fuzz,

Good to hear from you! I've been here a long while of course. I try to come in every now and then to keep the forums relevant to the modern online world by posting FF related things. Thankfully the FFVII remake is circulating enough news to help maintain activity for this site lol.

[Clint]

It's about time somebody thanks me for what I've done. You're welcome.

[GypsyElder]

I'm late, but you da best <3

Also, what happened to the like feature? can we get that back?

[Zardoch]

Also late, but would like to add my gratitude for creating such a home for us all. And for everyone else who put up with my immaturity over a decade ago. Regardless, I shall always log back in till the end of time. Thanks for everything.

And one last thing...if a mod would be so kind as to change my name back to what it was: Griffith.

[Cloud Strife]

Also late, but...

Oh my gosh, hey Fuzz! Glad to hear from you!

Yeah, TFF was my very first forum.

Same here - and now, 17 years later, I actually work in the industry as a forum software developer (and have been for the past 8 years). Had I not joined TFF way back when, I'd probably not have the job I do now.

[Unknown Entity]

Late to the party, but thank you Fuzz. For keeping this place afloat. Popped on to see what's up and it's nice to see everything still here. I hope to see more people come back - I'm sure they will one day.

[Rocky]

I remember one time Meier, Rocky and I got hammered on msn and we jokingly dared Meier to ban us for some stupid shit we were doing at the time. A few cocktails later, he wound up IP banning us accidentally, much to our panic.

Rocky and I had to unplug our routers to reset our IPs to circumvent it. Or we drunkenly asked Cesar to fix it. I'm not totally sure.

ROFL good times man. I think we made fake/troll 'couples' accounts since there was some guy professing his love on some girl that no one (except the guy in question) knew of in any capacity. Like in every single post he would talk about this girl, to the point where I wasn't sure if it was an actual person behind the account, rather a bot maybe. But anyway yeah we even told everyone in chat, including Meier, what we were doing, finally did it then he was like "you guys..." and we got banned lmao.

Pete - "I think we really need to take a step back, Meier did this as a lesson to us.."
Me - "Oh shoot you really think so? "
Pete - "nah lol"

[Pete]

Holy shit I actually remember the guys name. It was Kevin1gamer and Tabitha.

[Clint]

Kevin's such a unique name.

[Zerathos986]

Seeing threads like this harkens me back to the other forums I've partaken that have since gone. It's impressive this one's survived and I applaud your dedication, Fuzz. The previous forum I'd come from was owned by someone much like you who no longer had the time to devote to it. With the advent of social media and ever-shortening attention spans, our forum began to lose activity much in the same way as this one. Unfortunately, as a result, he gave up on it and all of those memories were lost.
