Samberdog - Creator of the Save My ______ contests

I always thought "Save My" contests were the worst kind of contests on this board.

Contest Stats and Discussion would have had a slightly different name and possibly a lower number if someone else started it up 2 weeks later, yeah.

Maybe it wouldn't have existed at all !!

Actually, Ulti was hellbent on continuing the series after solar left. I guess he deserves credit for that too, because it may as well have died back then.

The annual Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters is one of the very best things on this board. Serious business of the highest order.

a lot of people have gone away over the years, we just kind of forget most of them. the majority of The Book Club is gone at this point, for instance!

TC, your top 10 favorite "lab rats" on this board, go.
dont ignore the request!

do it as a separate topic


That is a great idea. can't believed I looked over that. it would be a pretty sweet debut of my lists I could make here, since I noticed you guys love making lists...

Rewinding a little here

Most of the boning fictional characters is Chrono1219 trying to sleep with Ryoko/GenesisSaga/ngirl anyway.

GenesisSaga is a chick?!?! I never knew this.


Anyway, back on topic, I'd like to think that Board 8, which symbolised in some ways by the number 8, a number very closely linked to the infinity symbol in looks, is just that. This board and its people seem infinite, I dread to think of the day that this community may possibly die, but I personally just dont see that happening anytime soon due to the bond that we have.

We are one.

We are infinite.

We are... Board 8.

Thank you and good night.

Slowflake actually made the topics before Ulti took over somewhere in the 20/30s

*read first page*

Fun fact: I'm a regular on PotD and B8, PotD since like 2005/2006 and B8 the past few years. Back when I first started getting active on B8, I posted on PotD that I went to both boards and got purgatory for invading PotD despite almost all my hundreds of active posts were on PotD

and then a few months later I made the account Heroic_PotDer and it never got banned

mods are weird

AT (he didn't really leave lol), Aeon, Horatio, and a bunch of others definitely added character to the board. Don't want to come off as a grumpy "those were the days" guy, but I kind of miss those kind of colorful personalities that were around back then.


I agree with this.

I'm not trying to hold the "Ancient Greats" (if we're going to use that term) as being inherently better than the people who stuck around or the people who have joined sense, but they definitely added their own flavor and so I think it's okay to miss that aspect of it.




From: Magic8Squall | #142
Will they...Will they talk about me this way if I leave, too? Leonhart was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want? So this is what leaving is all about... ...Not for me. I won't have it!!!

I'm not having anyone talk about me in the past tense!


I just smiled. Like a lot.

I could see that scene perfectly as I read this. Good show.

Really? This isn't the norm?

My first main board here was even more closely-tied and social than this one. I think we even got a marriage between two of the users, though I may be misremembering after ten years. I know they became real-life boyfriend and girlfriend and were still together years after the place died. At least three off-board secondary boards, tons of roleplaying topics, discussion topics, and longform story writing events. We had wars, name fads, storylines involving a central villain like The Evil LOGO, The Green Crayon, and Katherine. It was a cheesedom of greatness, bricks, pies, space, bunny aerobics, JIHOPs, pinkification, and Little Fighter 2.

I just thought all boards were like this. If it's a social board, and it's not closely-knit, then how is it a social board?

Note: I'm not discounting this board's social aspect. There have been so many meet-ups, amazing stories, podcasts, projects, chatrooms, off-site gaming pushes (GunZ, DFO, Transformice, Haxball, Drawball, LOTRO, that risk like game with the elephant archers), memes, fads, events, and such. The board's a blessed thing.

I wonder what the ancient greats of Board 8 would think of us now. solarshadow, Samberdog, Slowflake, Latios of Twilight, etc.


Why not just ask me? I'm still around and was far more popular than any of those scrubs tbqh.

Because it's too big, people don't get the chance to really interact with people on a personal level. They're still socializing though.

Oh. I guess Slowflake deserves that credit, then!

Concerning the social aspect - before I was a regular here I posted on a Dutch forum mainly dedicated to Pokémon, Dragon Ball and Digimon. That forum, now gone, actually organized real life meetings (I think there were about fifteen - I've been to two of them) and the regulars even went camping together multiple times. So yeah, Board 8 doesn't have the most close knit and social community on a message board ever. But it's still high up the list.

Yeah this.

There are hundreds of posters on CE regularly, there is no way anyone can keep track
