Hey guys! (from the forum member formerly known as TBO)

Hello! :smileyhappy:

The other day I was reminiscing about my internet past, and a whole bunch of memories came flooding back. Before these forums were made all snazzy-looking and they got servers that didn't go down at least once a day, I had a bit of a thing going for myself in these parts under the moniker 'TheBenevolentOne' (and latterly TBO) whereby I came along once in a blue moon and ran crazy events that were doomed to fail (a forum murder mystery, a game of monopoly, and about 3-4 'RPG Creativity Contests'). When I think about the energy I put into these things that I could have put into learning useful skills and writing epic novels, I feel slightly sick inside. :xRolleyes:

That said, they were good times. In thinking about them, as I embark upon an internet blog project as (I hope) a much more mature and sensible individual, I couldn't help but feel a certain nostalgia for those days. Which is, I guess why I'm here.

I'm sort of using the excuse that I might need this account to keep in touch with clans and whatnot on the PS3 network (which is why I registered under Popinjay, my brilliant PSN username!), but I guess the truth is that I was curious. How is everybody doing in these parts? Does anyone remember me? Has anything exciting happened in my abscence? Are the old crew still around? Did anyone else find Final Fantasy XII a colossal disappointment, and not (as the majority of the gaming press seem to suggest) the highlight of the series with a not-rubbish storyline and not-rubbish characters?

I might be around for a while. On the other hand, I might not. Either way, I wish you all the best with the whole community thing you've got kicking here! :Thumbs:

The name rings a bell, as do the topics, but I fear you might have been from before I ventured into the RPG forum... But yes, FFXII did suck. I didn't even complete it...

It's The Benevolent One.Y'know, I had my suspicions when he said "under the moniker 'TheBenevolentOne'". But thanks for clarifying...

Everyone is doing ok but this place is dead and is starting to decay and doesn't have the spark it used to. I don't remember you but others may as I only joined in 2005. No, nothing exciting has happened and never seems to anymore, If you want to talk RPGs and get a decent amount of replys your proberly better off posting in PS3 General Discussion, even though this is where all RPG related posts should be. Yes, some of the older crew are still here, some show up now and again, alot have started showing up again resently. Yes, FFXII is a disappointment and just isn't the same as the past games, the whole battle system is proberly to blame aswell as the lack of focus on character development.

No one really posts here anymore because they have better things to do.

Long time, TBO. How's it going? Don't know if you remember the handle DarkOrbit, but that's who i am (until they did this stupid linking with your PSN handle thing)...

 

Good to see you around, would be only a good thing if you stuck around and posted some more of your infamous topics about, this place is no where near as lively as it once was, in my opinion, not trying to put any pressure on you to deliver, but your topics always got things buzzing. :smileywink:

 

Edit: God, this place is a complete hole now. :smileysad:
