Don't have AIM on this ****ty computer, when I get back to my own flat in the New Year I'll bother to make an effort to be on more though. In the meantime I'll stick to vague lurking, I guess!

I made a stupid bet with Alec. It cost me my testicles & sig. Take all my money and I could own the Mets.

What did Alanna do exactly that was influential?

Also PoG is top 50 worthy , fr0q should be top 15, and imo ertyu is #1.

When the gender is unknown it can. This isn't an english paper where literature rules of applying male as the default for an unknown is the done thing, its acceptable in speech and acceptable here.
Just because it is acceptable in speech doesn't make it anything but f***ing unreadable in print. The lack of subject/verb agreement makes it look awkward as hell.

Why are you so upset about this?

Probably.

The old ToS was great, telling someone they're the worst user on the board was unacceptable. Telling them they're the 500th best and saying the exact same things about them was totally fine.

~*~ 47. SemiFinal vs Belarus ~*~

This topic shall serve as a log of my suffering, and as a chronicle of the final moments of my life should any cutscenes or plot twists prove fatally idiotic. - Semi on Xenosaga 3

Semi (alongside Popo, Aeon and AT) were at the pinnacle of high quality, snappy, rhetoric posts during the golden age of this kind of thing. These were guys who had the typing equivalent of a silver tongue and were almost always worth having their posts read. It could well be argued the staggered loss of these four was one of the major differences between the 2003 board and later editions.


Semi himself was the self-loathing, hate filled, cynic who embraced all these characteristics and made them part of his game. Despite his post-2003 departure he emerged in later years on his alt dorobou as a less frequent poster.


Points of Impact

-> Managed somehow to win a user contest despite having not even logged onto gamefaqs in over a year.

Notable Moment:

The hunt for Semi after his absence from the board was a strange one. Most users who leave fade away very quickly and are rarely mentioned again, Semi leaving the board just simply was not allowed to happen with Alanna in particular bringing constant reminders of him in his absence. Gaining so much notoriety on the board without doing anything at all is truly a sign of someone who left a lasting impression.

~*~46. SDragonRocker5 ~*~

If obama gets elected black people are going to run over white people - SDR on politics.

Imagine a hillbilly, a pedophile and ertyu and you're getting somewhere close to the core of what SDR was. Yet another user who never really interacted a huge deal with the denizens of board 8 much preferring to use it as BlogFAQs to proclaim his twisted views.
The subjects of his threads usually revolved around two things: guitars and young girls. His guitar playing hobby was borderline obsessive and the hook on these threads was his lack of interaction on the subject and just generally making the same thread about wah foot pedals dozens of times despite absolutely nobody caring. SDR could never seem to understand the communities reaction to him and continued making the threads.
His hugging young girls business and associated church groups made him appear a very seedy individual.

Generally SDR was one of those individuals that appeared so twisted, warped and single minded that many on the board thought there was no way whatsoever that he could be legit and had to be an alt. Until his personal details was found and everything he said checked out....


Points of Impact

-> Making multiple threads about foot pedals / guitars / riffs / amps day after day.
-> Attraction for young girls

Notable Moment:

His photo being found and posted. Naturally he was holding a guitar, most likely in the process of playing a riff of an awesome quality.

Legacy:

Anytime a topic involving young girls is made it is often called for to compare the author to SDR.
The Awesome Riff! catchphrase remains a relevant thing to say in any discussion involving guitars.

~*~ 45. nintendogirl ~*~

In the many years of board 8 we had a lot of female alts, females who wanted to be left alone, lesbians who didn't want your attention to begin with and females with all sorts of weird baggage attached that were best left alone. What we didn't have was a legitimate, all action attention whore.

Ngirl changed all that and was very quickly providing pics nao, sex stories, nudes (later claimed to be fake) and just a general reminder of what she was as a suggestion for seedy attention. The hilarity ramped up when she was later made a mod which was met with initial skepticism and hostility from the board before eventual acceptance.

The mod powers, attention seeking and edgey posters could have landed a different person into a polarised position amongst the board but ngirl thankfully had far more substance to her board 8 repertoire boasting a wide range of contributions in areas of stats, soccer discussion and general gaming. Making her generally well liked, ...generally.

Points of Impact

-> Whoring
-> Controversial Mod appointment and the associated drama.
-> Posts continuing into sigs.

Notable Moment:

She enjoyed attention so much from CE she kept screenshots of times there were several threads about her.

Legacy:

Signature posting was popularised from her witty additions.
She laid down a marker as the standout attention whore which may never be bested.

~*~44. Ayvuir ~*~

GeordieFAQs

Ayvuir is a strange breed of an inventive user. Being a great ideas man but often not having the tenacity to get the most out of his projects. Because for the most part his ideas were (and continue to be) fantastic. No more evidence to that is needed than his idea behind the UUL, a project he deemed a failure due its commitments and initially low popularity. yazzy applying his dedication to the same idea wound up producing one of the most successful user contest series on the board.


Points of Impact

-> Creation of the tiered idea behind the UUL.
-> Creator of Saving Bacon, amongst other rpg maker games.
-> Host of many, many contests. Most notably several babes themed.

~*~43. Slowflake ~*~

If there was ever one user who characterised all the perceived negative traits of a stats user it was slowflake. Being highly eccentric, emotional and easily wound up when discussing matters of the contest were common in slowflakes posts, he took anything to do with the contest as a matter of utmost seriousness. His relationship with the non-stats part of the board was notable in his general disdain for entertaining the thoughts of anyone outside his posting circle and was rarely seen posting in the non-contest parts of the board.


Points of Impact

-> Rage quitting a thread or line of discussion which wasn't reaching a favourable conclusion. He generally held a poor capacity to debate often leading to dramatics.
-> The very definition of a stats poster. Interesting, in-depth views with projections and a strong manipulator of stats.
-> Host of the board odds project.

Notable Moment:

Being the host of the 2006 nomination rally tournament and literally abandoning the project because of fixing accusations. Not even just abandoning the project, he abandoned the board as well for several months.
