Before Raftel...

:lol: The subtitle on the Archives forum ("Let us celebrate our heritage") reminded me of an old screen-shot of the original forums that I took for a project just before they changed the layout. I guess most people here now don't originate from what has been called "The Forum Of Lesser Justice" (Raftel being "The Forum Of Greater Justice") so here's your chance to be glad about it:

It was there that I memorized the names of a few choice members. Kronk, Digitaldreamer, Kanthia, OverChasm, Go Go Maple, Saiyako, RedPirate, Ka Tokubi...and then I miraculously made my way here.

So, yeah, we owe them a lot.

But yes thanks to them I met you lovely people so I have to thank them for that!

You know, sometimes I can still Google my screenname and find people making threads asking where I vanished to.

...All in Winx Club of course, where all the little girls seemed to think I was their perfect... prince <_<

Good times indeed.

As for me, I owe that forum my typing skills. If it wasn't for them, I'd still be typing incredibly slowly. ... Both 4Shame and Raftel helped me to mature quite a bit.

It seems like such a long time ago now. Things change too fast.

... And I really miss some of the older members. :unsure:

This thread made me wonder what the place is like now.

Chickety check it out

I have no idea if the old forums all got deleted and replaced or if it's just temporarily down. I tried logging in under my old username and wasn't able to.

WOW. I didn't come from 4Shame so I never had to endure that blinding yellow. Who's idea was that? "A PROMOTION IF ANYONE CAN FIND THE COMBINATION OF COLORS THAT MAKE CHILDREN LOSE THE ABILITY OF SIGHT. "

Raftel was my first internet site. Before then I just watched my older brother RP on neopets.

It got deleted. It was too much hassle for them to keep up with. I mentioned that some 3 months ago. That aside... I remember this one time where I set up a Onepiece styled 'Join the Marines thread', then people actually joined, then I appointed Warlords, people pretty much started Rp fighting in random threads, this the '______ I'm challenging you!' thread craze begun... and it was partly my fault! :P

Ugh, yeah, I think we all blocked the hideousness of the colour scheme out of our memories in an attempt to stay sane... There's more than one reason Red used to call this place the 4Kids Recovery Ward in the beginning.

YES! And then they'd edit/delete your posts without EVER telling you why, even if you asked, leaving you to assume they were just doing it for random, stupid reasons that make no sense. (Which, most of the time, they were.)


Oh... funniest edit I can think of? Start of Senchou's original RP, the stuff with Kraken and Neotokyo, and she had Luffy and Zoro waking up in the camp, and because it was the start of the main story, she used their full names. So the mods see "Monkey D Luffy" and "Roronoa Zoro", somehow go "OMG THIS POSTER IS USING FULL NAMES MUST CUT OUT SURNAMES!" And what turns up in the post is just "Monkey" and "Roronoa".

And the double level of idiocy there just made me laugh so hard when I was reading those posts over and realised what they'd done.
I've felt this way before. The world goes deafeningly silent. I hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. This must truly be... the brink of death.

I hear it. The breath of his steel. A katana follows will...

All that's left... is to see if I truly have the power to cut steel.

XD I remember the Zoro and Sanji fangirl fight. Also if the whole group of OP lovers lived in one house or met and such.
