Title: Days Of Yore


Aaron - March 17, 2008 02:37 AM (GMT)
I miss the banter, I miss the chats, I miss the games, I miss Whose Next and the Arrow Game and The Person Above Me, the lightheartedness, the joking, the kindness, the friendships, the luuuurve, the smiles, and the excitement, and the fun, and the community.

I miss it, and it shall never return. :(

Didn't I just fuck it all up?

Oh, but yes, I miss the days of yore ...

We can do that, again - if you'd like! I'm sure needles1987 wouldn't mind joining us. :)

Aaron - March 17, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
I shall still miss the old community. :(

I did try to bump those games some time ago, but no one played. :/

It would be fun to play them again, though. :)

Aaron, I don't think you have nothing to do with that. If anything I am to blame because I wasn't able to work on this site as much as I wanted to to attract new members. Over the summer No Roads and I will change the layout again and I'll send out a mass e-mail to try to bring some old members back. No Roads may have a new bttf site out then which would help bring us new members.

I really do miss the old members we've had here. A new BTTF site is always nice. I think it would be nice if Shandy made us more of his banners.

Alt, you don't know the half of it, I'm afraid.

There are, shall we say, hard feelings for various reasons - but if I thought never posting again could revive the community sans me, I would stop (as I did for a time) - but the community will never return as it was with or without me. And that makes me sad. :(

I thought Shandy was a girl.

bttf44 - March 17, 2008 04:47 AM (GMT)
No, he's a guy! Last I heard, he was with a girl called Purplewear.

Sometime tomorrow, I should maybe bump up some of his comics. They're very wonderfully done! :)

Shandy is an Australian male. He's posted pics of himself on this board before. Yes, he is very much in love, last I heard, with and American female he met on the bttf.com message board who goes by the screenname of Purplewear.

I saw his picture and I thought he was a very masculine chick.

Wow. Cold.

No, I wouldn't hit on him if I were you. He looks manish to me.

For the record:

BTW, sometimes it's best not to say what you thought.

They both look so gorgeous! No, I'm not bi-sexual! I just recognize girls who are pretty.

Hoverboy - March 17, 2008 09:07 PM (GMT)
I've only posted 3 times, but I really like this site, so I'll post more often. I promise!!!

needles1987 - March 17, 2008 11:01 PM (GMT)
Shandy doesn't look like a chick in that picture. I feel so bad for thinking he was one.

bttf44 - March 18, 2008 12:21 AM (GMT)
It would be nice to see more activity on the site. I tend to not venture too much outside the Fan Creations section - but I've been doing that a little more, lately.

Yeah, they're a cute couple, aren't they?

I'm sure he'll forgive you if he ever decides to post again!

Aaron, It is probably none of my business, but if there is anything you think I should know as the admin of the board please PM me.

Anyway, I have been apart of several message board communities and sadly, they don't last forever for various reasons. Hopefully a mass e-mail, some board updates, a No Road's new BTTF website can bring some old members back and hopefully some new ones. :)

No, no, no, it is what it is and it doesn't have anything to do with any biases or anything. It's justified. The best way to put it is, it was probably best for the community to be broken up at the time, given the circumstances (which are personal and have nothing to do with the message board itself), but I still miss it. Perhaps time will allow it to get back on track someday. I don't know.

Alternate Strickland - March 19, 2008 12:22 AM (GMT)
^Don't worry about it too much, message board communities never last forever, something always ends up happening. It's all in the past now, I just hope the future of this board can be better than it is right now. :)
