Old Folks?
frankypicoto
When I read MaryChan's article I decided to check the old eCanadian forums. Mainly to see if I was close to the 2 year mark in the CAF aswell but also because I miss those old days. Turns out I'm nearly one month away from hitting that milestone! I'm glad I could meet so many great people during my time in this game but all-in-all I think my favorite time was in the old forums.
Back then all I did was Spam and I believe I still hold the record for most posts in a day xD. I know, I can't quite remember the day itself but I know I must have been really bored to spend that much time spamming. After I hit the 1k post mark I even became a member of the Brotherhood of Platinum Spammers...
Back then spamming wasn't what it is today, we really got to know the people we "spammed" with and it was a fun hobby. It was from my 309 posts in a day that I got crowned the eGoddess of Spam I believe. However, I wasn't as serious about it as some people who believed they should get paid for spamming xD. There was even a club for lazy people over there...oh how I miss those days...
But, spamming wasn't everything on the old forums. I also checked the Graduation Hall to see [as I mentioned above] when I first became a member of the CAF. Then I went to check my platoon sub-forum found in the Regulars platoon listing. Yes..that's all there was back when we didn't have many members 😮
. Nearly everyone was a Private back then and I was no different. The 4th was my platoon!
After we moved to the new forums our membership rose and the forums became a huge thing. I stopped spamming and instead became dedicated to Congress and reached 1k posts shortly without any spamming involved.
Finally I decided to check the Memberlist for last visits and it seems that I'm not the only one who enjoys looking back! I would have to say I'm an Old Folk in this game..
No need to throw around profiles like this or this or maybe even this! I know I'm not the oldest but in my eyes I'm pretty eOld.
Thank you for reading! And sorry about any mistakes I might have made, I haven't proof-checked this article.
If you enjoyed your déjà vu (or history lesson!) vote!
Thank you

Frankypicoto is a noob.
You're much to talk Dom! 😛 You're not the oldest guy either xD
I'm going to claim that title until Tom Hagen comes along and slaps me in the face.
Ok, I'll tell him to do that as soon as I see him! xD

Hah, and it only took 7 minutes xD
You forgot to mention or RPG! 😛

Damn that spam photo is old. Look at how thick that thinkpad is! (not to mention that there's an IBM sticker on it and that the spam is stuffed into a 3.5" drive)
Haha I know Kevin, it just seemed appropriate xD
