Reality scripted TV.
Chasing fifteen minutes of fame.
Fight over fuel.
Violence in school.
The youth are as confused as I am.
I can't think of a single event that would define my Evony forum experience. Nothing serves as a microcosm of my time here. My memories of my life on the forums is a conglomeration of the everyday goings-on.
I would reflect fondly on the amalgamation of all the small experiences and events. There have been unifying moments of the community, like the firing of FB, or the OT war with n2. There have been memorable moments like being named a forum guide, Joe recreating the shops to liven up OT, the lolcat thread, and the stump Rota thread. There have been great discussions on philosophy, economics, time, space and the unknown. There's simply too much for me to pick out even a few.
As time goes on, the specific moments will fade from memory, but the experience as a whole will become a brighter memory for it.
i would jump off a building
That awkward moment when you get in to a van and theres no candy
Well I'v been here for quite some time reading posts, but often not responding. I remember CCC, and his long spam rage, Hyena and all of them, also when the bar only had like 10,000 posts and not as many as it does now lol, old mods like when Wildor and Arumen were mods so long ago, how many hours I would stay up reading forums instead of beging asleep or outside lol, the rise and fall of trolls. Elsworth, Stormsurge(now demomhero), Joe, and all those people. When I quit the forums for some time I was writeing a report and click the "favriotes tab" and then evony forums would show up and clicked it and my many hours of reading the forums came alive again. Then here I'am now![]()

I have returned to taunt the evony forums, beware.
ah memories.
when the mind takes the facts and writes a beautiful fiction over them.
sad as my writing skills are at present i too can say that the forum experience has enriched my grammatical life, two fold. i have learned what d000d nu wah **** naw says as well as when to use a semicolon.
but that is the least of what i will take from here if here ever stops being.
the friendships i have built here have been lifesaving. the hope reborn in these threads has changed the course of my life forever. thankfully for the better.
it has been through getting to know the people here that i have been able to learn the most about my self and to find a place where i feel i belong. the reason i always say "OT is my home" is that this is the first place i have had since my very early youth that has deserved that title in my life.
i have many fond memories of discussions stories battles and campaigns. i have watched this place change and grow over the last... almost 2yrs. i have seen the communities relationship to its moderators change and grow with each "changing of the guard" i have seen the epic threads come and go, i have seen the fail thread crash and burn..
but i think if i were to condence all this down into one thought it would have to be
i found a place to be my self, and thereby learned who i am. who i am became someone i wanted to be.
for that my friends i am truly grateful.
Watching the forum evolve. Bright eyed and bushy tailed I started on the forums a week into it existing, very shortly after I became a moderator. I've watched good friends come and go. I've watched the entire Evony structure in game and in politics change and evolve. It's so neat to think back, watching people change themselves over time on the forums. This place has a life of its own and sometimes it's just nice to sit back and watch it. I suppose that would be one of the neatest things that I will take from this experience.
