I forgot to sign up with this account somehow. Never did make it back to LUE..

It was a fun time. The Internet was, essentially, a brand new thing gaining popularity and evolving. There was no Facebook or Reddit, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.

GameFAQs was in its prime for what it was, and so were the boards.

One thing I'd like to mention if anyone else remembers---we had a lot of voice recorders and people singing. I remember one song played with a guitar was uploaded that went something like...

"What's that?! Is it a yellow strip? It's a moderated message! You better check it, you gotta check it, before you lose your precious Karma, your precious Karma... before you lose your precious.. Karma..."

Could be hidden away on one of my hard drives somewhere, but I don't know. I thought it was a clever song whoever made and posted it.

I used to go there but I'm pretty sure I was on vacation during the sign-ups. Next time I logged in, it was private. I only realized I'd missed the window later on.

I barely made it into LUE. It changed my life.

Namely LUElinks changed my life. It was such a massive collection of games, movies, shows, and books, and all of it was easily searchable. There was nothing else like it, especially during that era.

2002-2004 LUE was the best LUE.


Yes, indeed, it was my good lad.

The board was at its peak when its activity overshadowed the cumulatively combined posts of RI, CE, and PotD. Topic lists were on par the the busiest IRCs at the time as well. I would post a new topic, along with many others, and out topics would already have been pushed back to the third or fourth pages (50 topics set on display).

I still think gamefaqs as a whole is great.

But the message boards really were special in the early 2000's. Just so much activity and overall craziness. It was great!

A restricted message board that was locked in 2004. Only a few old posters, like myself, can still access it. You had to have signed up for it before the lock down.

I'd link it's encyclopediadramatica article, but I don't know if linking to that site is moddable.

I was actually around when LUE was open, but sometime around 2005-2006 or so, they allowed you to change your username, but unfortunately doing that seemed to reset the date I joined, as well as my account ID.

Ummm....wat?

You might want to double-check that number. I think you miscounted the digits. >_>

And no, I didn't miss the signups. I still have access, I just haven't actually visited the board in ages. When I got my new computer a few months ago it was the first time that I didn't even bother to make a LUE bookmark on the toolbar since I signed up for this site. I haven't missed it.

Didn't know about the signup until it was too late. Used to infrequently visit it back in '03 or so, and learned about the unholy trinity. Didn't have regular internet for a few months, and found I couldn't access the board all of a sudden.

And what a large cutoff. My old-ass account has a User ID of 23496.

General indifference stopped me signing up at the time, kinda regret it now as it woulda made for a neat nostalgia thing but ah well. It wasn't a board I frequented often, mostly stuck to the game boards back then -- they weren't quite as uh, angry, as they seem to be now.

I was there for the LUE melt down and my ID number is half of what you posted. I just never requested to be allowed in. I just didn't type out the words. Some LUE users harassed a girl until she killed herself. (Or a girl killed herself and LUE users were all over it posting harassing remarks on her MySpace). Which is why the board got shut down. I'm not 100% sure that's the story but that's what I remember. It's irrelevant now.

Edit: I'd like to have access because I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan and for nostalgia reasons.

A girl committed suicide and LUEsers started spamming her LiveJournal (which was being used by her family as a place to post stories and share memories of her) with the Unholy Trinity and the Pains and various other nasty shit.

I couldn't remember what site they used to harass the girl but I knew that it involved something like that. It was terrible. It was just song long ago that my memory has faded.

I remember reading about LUE like 10 years ago, was fascinating at the time, and I wanted access. But now I'm old and jaded LUE just seems like it was a bunch of dumb kids with too much time on their hands, who are now all 30+ year old boring adults. I don't want access, and I don't see why anyone who doesn't would want it.
