Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Okay, so here's a basic prototype of my compilation of users by category and era. I might break some of these down by year later, but for now these categories will suffice. Likewise, deciding which subculture to pick for people in more than 1 during the same time period, that's a task for later. Right now the goal is just to generate a long list. Question marks indicate that I'm not sure either about the timing or the subculture placement for that person. Short lists, especially in the earlier eras and for Aimhack, just mean I don't know who really belongs there -- they don't mean I am ignoring folks. But I have likely forgotten some very relevant names all over the place. ALL suggestions, whether additions or modifications, will be appreciated. Remember, we are looking for users who were NOTICEABLE and NOTABLE -- who either posted a lot or affected the board culture somehow. So we don't need a list of everyone who ever posted in a certain era. That said, right now I am more interested in quantity than quality; the list can be culled later. But for Northern Isles, say, people who played 1 game don't need to go on the list. (Also, I can look at UBB- and PPP-generated lists of users, too; I am most interested in what comes to mind for people who were part of the community during these eras.) (Note: I am strongly considering getting rid of the Northern Isles and Aimhack subcultures since almost everyone in them is already in another distinct subculture.)

She had her own forums. —Alorael, who feels like a number of the early things are a little off... but also doesn't trust his memories. He'll strongly advocate for filing ET under public nuisances.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 The point of the groupings / subcultures is to create easy overviews: overviews of who was active, what some of the major social groups were like, and how both of the above colored the board culture. Thus, it is not necessary to have a subculture for every possible characteristic people might have in common. If a potential subculture's members are mostly already in other categories, that subculture probably doesn't aid the overview, unless it was especially critical somehow. Originally Posted By: Alorawhatever —Alorael, who feels like a number of the early things are a little off... but also doesn't trust his memories. Can you please be more specific? For the early eras I am currently working off of very haphazard snapshots on the Internet Archive, a paragraph Stareye wrote in 2008, and 2 sentences from Lilith the other day. So, your memories are a valuable source, even if you preface them with caveats. Originally Posted By: Jewels in Black And Dantius is oh-so anti-establishment. Of course.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Since Slarty is asking for scraps... The person who introduced me to Spiderweb back around 1999-2000-ish went by Relhan (maybe with a Sir or Lord tacked on front) on the internet. I don't know if he was ever on the SW forums, but he was part of a BoE web-ring, so he must have had some interactions with someone in the community. I don't think he ever finished a scenario, but I remember he talked to me about making one, and I know he made custom BoE graphics. I also recall him interacting with someone named Aceron (I think, or something that sounded like that) who did BoE stuff. That may not be at all helpful, Slarty, but I figured I'd chime in with a fragment of knowledge from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Wow... Relhan. I haven't heard that name in a long time. Never knew him. I think he was involved in the Arena.

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm not sure of the relevance of this to a history specifically of forums, but there was also a Blades email list around the late '90s/early aughts. It wasn't as full of discussion as some of the forums and other sites, but a decent number of scenario designers and people who participated in the other sites were on there. The two I remember off the top of my head were Sir Robin and Tor...Argh, but I think there were others of note. Also, I vaguely recall Relhan having his own site on the Blades webring, but I wouldn't swear to that. The only thing I remember for sure was that he made some high quality custom graphics.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 The Blades email list is relevant, as it's the history of the community. (Maybe less relevant to the user lists, but still.) I know there were mailing lists for at least Exile 2 and 3 prior to that, with plenty of messages from Jeff, but those seem to have been largely quest hints and comments and less of a community thing.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Okay. VCH was an early community member, but early Blades? It's not ringing bells. I'm pretty sure TGM also wasn't one of the pre-history Blades crowd; he'd be Era 2 at the earliest. And he was on Polaris too, at least for a while. If Saunders counts at a Desper, I think I should too... although maybe I was less accepted there. I also think I probably became an establishmentarian eventually. I've been a mod for a frighteningly long time now. Arctic is definitely an active member at large in Era 2. Omlette belongs in Era 2 as well, probably, as a member at large. And later, too, maybe? —Alorael, who may need to refer back to other Slartographics for members of note. Element cards, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argh^9 is only remembered because his parting line was so memetic and Abhi was mostly annoying in private channels. If they belong on the list, so do lots of others: Iffy, Zephyr Tempest, Lord Llama and Mad Bomber, Jeran Korak, etc. Originally Posted By: Ackrovan Edit: I really got to start wearing my glasses.

In case you don't remember, which I expect is true, I used to go the embarrassing PDN of Corey, which was, and is, my real name. In my defence I was like 8 or 9 years old at the time. I also have a foggy memory of having major arguments with TM, who I thought was a major tool, and finally, if memory serves me correctly, I am the person that started the ORIGINAL Nephilim vs. Slith topic. I remember creating it after having some sort of a flame war with a a member whose PDN may have started with a "D". It was kinda my way of cooling things down, but, again, I was like less than 12 years old, so you know . . . (In fact, I'm almost certain I started that topic, as it was one of the few topics of mine that got past 100 posts) PS: Does anyone remember that short story that one of our members wrote about a Nephilim (plus goblin) attack on a Slith Fort?

In my draft of the next version I've retitled it "Public Spectacles" because that's a little broader and a little fairer. The list I have for that now (will be sorted by year later): Solberg, Shotts, Vince, Tails, Public Enemy, Ed, Arghhhhhhhhh, Abhishek, Shaper Master, Upon Mars, Stillness, Uber, Lone Flame, Zephyr Tempest, Iffy, Jeran Korak Arghhhhhhhhh was the subject of some debates in General as I recall, and his contemporaneity with Ed is probably the main reason he's remembered so well. But he is, and Bomber and Lord Llama weren't even memorable during the brief time they were here. Iffy is easy enough to place in Spectacles initially and in the CRF group after that. TM, ETSD and Ghaldring are special cases because, although they were spectacles on many occasions, they alternated between being spectacles and fitting neatly into other groups. TM in particular was not that much more of a spectacle than several of his peers (e.g., Alec) in the early days, and there was a definite difference in TM and Alec's sort of spectacle versus Shotts or Public Enemy. I guess the key point for the spectacles group is lack of integration into any part of the community at the time of spectacle. Ghaldring is also a special case because I still need to figure out what to do with that potentially very long string of accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the comments of putting me in the public nuisances category, I was only a pest for the first year, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Your emo phase was pretty annoying, too, even if you rarely posted during that time. Dikiyoba wouldn't worry too much. We were all young and stupid at some point. Some of us didn't have access to the Internet during our total muffinhead stage, but it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 And some of us were just too old by the time Spiderweb came around. But somewhere on the internet are the archives of some mid-90's listhosts full of obnoxious questions from my own embarrassing pre-teen self.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If you have a valid excuse for being annoying, you're way ahead of a lot of people. "I was thirteen" or "I got way too caught up in Aran's ranking threads" or "the voices in my head made me do it" are examples. "Skribbane" is a tenuous one.
