My, how times have changed. This thread is a tribute to all the old salts (members with seniority over the current harvest of n00bs by a year and a half, or more) who’re still here, after this long. I know when I first hit this place, I was a blind, innocent n00b myself, I’m ashamed to admit. I remember distinctly, how I was picked on by Knarrly and the others, as the FNG. That whole scandal of misspelling “ROFL”. God, It haunts me to this day, and nobody had the decency to correct me. Who ever heard of “ROLF” anyway!?
Anyway, I also distinctly remember playing up my part as “Rafiki” when I first joined. With the stick, and the monkey-ness, and all that. Lol, I am not as naive to as to do that, anymore. He heh heh… Ah, but how we’ve grown together! I remember I also was afraid to do/say anything as well, because I was intimidated by the already developed member-base, which consisted of Knarrly herself, Ara, King Kovu (Almost gone, but not forgotten), Cubby Kovu (almost gone, not forgotten), Mpo’Simba (Gone, but not forgotten), and Vitanicub (Also gone, but never forgotten). It’s a shame to think that most of the old salts are gone, but I do thank god I could hang out with ‘em all.
As I said, this was a tribute to all us oldies. In this thread we will post memories, and of course a “Before and After” comparison of ourselves, if you want.
When I first came here:
-I was young, blind, and alone!!
-I rp’d with Raf himself, rather than me own characters.
-I didn’t say much to anyone, since everyone seemed so “by themselves”.
-I was hated. T.T
-I used to go by my name name.
-I was un-edumacated in net lingo.
-Before, a lone picture that could describe me was:

Now:
-I am literally older, have a friend now, and have seen the light. ^.^
-I use my own characters, rather than the mandrill himself.
-I hang out with the others, now.
-I’m still hated I think, but I learned to not give a crap.
-Raf is my adopted namesake by everyone here on the board!!!
-I can spell “ROFL” and am a fluent speaker of l337!! (*LOL*)
-Now, the picture that can describe me is thus!!!:
