Your Fondest Memeory of Charas

[Fisherson]

That one time it was full of bigotry and chaos. When every small child was a small thread, and every thread was so very difficult to fit into a needle. When purple hair and double users were entertainment, and double teams ran the dug out. Sick people, skulls and dogs, even people with only one arm.

I refer to these archaeologically as "The Golden Days of Charas".

Don't feel too bad about all that. I never thought of you as a hero.

- . - Gee thanks=, Archem. Good to know when the world goes crazy I can always count on you to be...you. XD Probably why I've always thought of you and not Alex as the symbol of Charas. *Waits for lightning to rain down on him*

This thread.  Literally all the feels.


This place is my first home on the internet.  I could always come online and see familiar users and be able to connect with them.  I always had difficulty with that on other sites, and even in life.  I've out grown that, but it still makes me feel all warm and cozy to come back and see familiar names.  I may never finish my rpg- but this place will always give me inspiration and remind me how fun it can be to work on a game.  While I might have another creative outlet in music, its so very different. 

As far as memories, working on that pokemon game with prpl and ellie, or getting to work on the Charas Chain game are easily at the top.  Or when I was a huge noob and Meis put me in my place (rightly so).

tl;dr

I love this place.

Any Charas drama. I mean, sure, back then it wasn't exactly nice. But it still makes for some memories.

There's also some forum games we had. I liked the Avatar Wars, were people made gifs of their avatar fighting/killing someone else's. Fun times.

Comics. All of them.

Playing some Nintendo DS games with Charas people.

My nights spent on the Charas chat thingy.

Creating Sarah C. and Murof.

There's probably other things that just won't come to mind. Charas' the only forum I really frequent. It's like my Internet home. I may not be very present, but I still check-in every day or so.

You did write an awesome chapter even if it was short. XD Pretty much set the stage for what The Death World looked like. I also miss Charasmon. =/ Still reference Quote Bugs.

Yes.  I never got to get in on Avatar Wars but I always liked looking at the matches. It's what inspired us to try that silly Mugen project wasn't it?

What ever happened to that Chat thing? I missed it recently when my internet excellerator was busted and my Skype wouldn't work. I looked for it but couldn't find it. Before MSN I used to love logging in there and talking to random people. XD Especially cleverbot or whoever that program was.

I was surprised when Purps introducd me to them. All these years and we had a awesome heroine and hero rivalry-type characters based of the forum's title and I don't find out till he makes Pancea Quest. XD Ed never even told me he made her and we were super close I always thought. Ah. There's something I miss. Ed. Always a fun guy, crazy musical chairs on his representatives AND he had a dark but funny sense of humor.

Yeah, Charas was my first and last forum experience.
I found 4chan in 2005 and haven't been able to forum much since. Certainly haven't been able to join other communities. I can't do that again. Joining a community, forming new relationships and learning everyone.
Not again, never again.

People are the worst kinds of people.

I hated every moment with you lot! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[SaiKar]

Probably when the Troll Invasion ended. You remember, when Raffles got a bunch of his buddies from some horrible site to start trolling here, and we the mod team was banning them and everyone was posting that horrible anti-troll image and I put up Sanctuary Fortress and went on tours of other websites with Mid that those guys had gotten shutdown through paranoid tactics. That was one of the most intense weeks of my life as far as moderation goes, and it was such a relief when it all ended. I mean, goddamn.

The mod elections were also fun.

[drenrin2120]

That event... it needs to be said, I know there are better examples, but as far as witnessing first-hand, was one of the most successful trolling operations I've ever seen. It doesn't help that a lot of us were still very young back then and easily messed with.

[Archem]

Ironically, I'm now a top-tier troll (outside of Charas, of course).

[Zoltar]

I know I'm new but I wanna just say I love this place! I hope to have many good and fine memories like all of you other cool people do. 😎

Somebody asked me about the fate of DF? http://shinjuudarkfox.deviantart.com/journal/ That's his journal.

I think it was better because we were young. It really felt like an event; like all the subterfuge and stuff was a huge deal.  Good fun for someone just skirting round the edge of it anyway, and Raffles was an interesting dude to talk to in person...

I was wondering what happened to DF. That last post was dated back in 2012, and talked about his plans on quitting the internet.

Assuming the best, I guess he did it. I hope things are working out for him.

Ah man, Raffles. What a fun guy. I really didn't get the whole drama around him, to be honest. Just... what exactly happened?
