The "good old days"

[Edric O]

Do you (oldbies) remember the days when this site was pretty much the backbone of the Dune games community? It had the only active Dune games forum and we were all hardcore fans...

But now only few people post here. What can we do to get all those posters back? I'm waiting for ideas!

Hmmm, we could try a "Gobalopper is gone" fun topic. And delete it when he comes back. :D

good times, good times. Remember the people who used to be here? Havok25, fremen59, sniper and, of course, MechaDragon who probably got in as many arguements with me as Edric does with Shaddam:)

Hehehe ;)

Me and Shaddam are famous for our arguments? Nice ;)

What I really miss from the old days is the forum action. Remember when there were so many A2k posts that Gob made several forums?

[garth]

I think our arguments did a good job of defining the ideological split in the community:

1.) The more "conservative" hardcore Dune book fans

2.) The more "liberal" hardcore game fans

3.) The people who enjoy immensely the games and the Books and couldn't care less one way or the other.

(I use the quoted terms very loosely:))

Hey I am still here! This is sniper but with a new name... sorry I havn't been around for a while I was extremelly busy... and I will be gone for one and months in july/aug so i won't be able to play emperor that much. but for two weeks in june i will! i'm excited for the game, just preoreded it from eboutique. they said that in toronto here it will come in on june 13 ... i sure hope so!

anything else new?

I came in during the end of what you refer to but did not join till months later. I remember most of those things and wonder where most of them have gone. As for Shaddam and Edric I've seen siblings who fight less than you and whenever you fight its a good topic that makes me think occasionally. So in a way the "good old days" are still partially here.

[Edric O]

Shaddam, I think we're the most hardcore fans on the FED2k forums (you for the novels and me for the games), and so we did the arguing. ;)

Now that I think of it, I realize that before E:BFD was announced, these forums were the closest we had to official message boards. You know, maybe the most hardcore Dune fan on the net is actually Gobalopper.

Speaking of Gob... I WANT MY PROFILE BACK! It seems to have dissapeared. I even looked to the members list and I'm not there. Gobalopper, what happened? I had 239 posts and I don't want to start over again and look like a newbie. If I HAVE to make a new profile, at least give me my old post count.

Silly me! :) I haven't signed out in about a year and that was all that happened now: Somehow I was signed out. I tried to log in, but forgot that my username is "ordos", not Edric O! :P

the good old days died with the aunouncment of emperor. evreone was talking so much about that game that we forgot about the never ending battle of the fav houses and the novel vrs Game discusian. trust me after evreone is seteld down the old ways will return. by the way westwood should have based the game more on the novels :) and atreides ordos forever forget the stupid brut harkonnen pigs. :)

WOW! Where did all the new topic come from? I think the "good old days" will be returning just about... NOW! ;)

[Edric O]

And I was right! :)

Now all I need to do is to get Emperor (tomorrow or the day after) and then upgrade to play it... :(

[ordos45]

Edric I've modified my compy so many times I'm not sure whether I need to upgrade. I guess I'll find out at the end of next week when I'll have enough money to buy Emperor.
