Now this may seem stupid to some of you, but I just realized how old Charas is... about 3 years? Do you guys remember when entering the new millenium was like... wow! OMG, here we go! Well, here we are, already 6 years into it! 0_0 I looked back on how long I've been here, granted, it's not as long as some, but I've spent more time here than other forums. I remember good, bad, and even boring times. So, talk about your time here, I guess that's what this is about. Post away!
-
yeah time goes so fast if 6 years ago was the new mellinieum it feels like yesterday
-
All I know is for the last 6 years the word "Y2K" enter my head on December 31.
-
It is hard to believe... time really flies, man.
-
I remember when I first joined Charas... I had been using the generator a LOT before I joined the forum, and I had no intention of staying for this long. XD I was just gonna check it out, but I got hooked. Ah, the memories of when Alex actually posted casually every day... :)
-
Lol, Charas has been around forever. I was using the generator for a year or two before I registered. Then I registered in 03 just to advertise my game :p (which sucked). Anyway, it wasn't until a year later that I actually came on the regular basis. Then BOOM, I had 1000 posts. It was funny, I remembered having 400, then the next time I looked it was already at 900 :p.
Anyway, yeah, charas has been around for a long time.
-
Oy. It's also funny that in just a few months I would have been here a year. Where does the time go?
-
Yeah, well, I'm not here for a long time, but still, ppl here captivate me. The sympathy and the creativity of everybody is just amusing. It makes me want to simply skip all my stuff and take a look at posts here. True, I don't answer none XD Ashly I think this is the first one. But, I read most of em. And I've just not had the ideas and opportunities until now. =) Well, hope this forum keeps on for some good time.
-
Wow, even I've been at Charas a while now. I must say It's been awesome. And it really feels like it did when I first joined again.
-
Yep...I remember the old layout...ahh...good days.
-
Time does fly... I can't believe how many months ago it was that I registered. It's definitely been a good time.
-
I joined Charas with the sole reason of helping out with the project. And basically I still am, only in a lesser tempo.
-
Charas inspired my MIDI making, which turned into other things like guitar and now I'm really into music. For that I thank Charas for helping me open up music to myelf. :)

It's nice to see how charas has evolved over time. It was and always will be an awesome place. ^_^
It's funny, I;m reading posts, and I think of someone as a new member, but when I look at their registry date, they've been here over a year! Geez, time does fly. It flies on magical wings of fastness.... or something...
How many people here remember the painfully white version of charas? And of course the long debates of choosing the 'new charas' as well.

I still like the old white version better than the current layout.
-
I've never seen it but it sounds like it'd kill the eyes.

I too agree. It had a somewhat warmer feeling to it. Now it's dark and moisty.
Also, it was the forgotten who "created" the first article. I also created a tutorial, it's still in the Documentation.
And it was Cosmo who first came with the Charas Movie idea.
Yeah, good times.
But there were also darker ages. We should not forget these times.
We had a period with RRWP. After that, things constantly fell apart. Somehow, RRWP was right. We did need to change our mentalities. Charas did fall apart, even after he left.

I still can't believe I was here ans StarScape for more then a year.....

time has been pasting fast :sweet:

You've been here, what, a few days?
-
Who is RRWP? I've heard about them a couple of times recently. I'm guessing a Raffles type member that joined in the early days?
-
Raffles doesn't sleep, he waits.
I liked the white layout, the banner was better too.
A million forums have the dark blues going on.

Raffles is Chuck Norris? lol
I've been here too, dammit! I remember my dusty old art thread, which is still unlooked at, and my failed game attempt, because everything got baleeted & no one looked at it... and my resources that were... hey I feel ignored here! And I rememeber when I was gone for ten weeks, and half of the people who post now had already joined.
Maybe I should go away again...
Remember the anti-thing?
-
Remember the anti-thing?
HAHA, yes! I remember that. People had anti Razor and Raffle supporters had the anti Sai 'kar ones. It was sai, right? I remember I had the anti idiot one :D I think I still have it.
-
I think it was anti-DF.

Anti Razor? WTF you talkin'?
Anyway, in my lengthy period of time as a member, I've lost old friends and gained news ones.
Good thing though, is that I can't remember any of the old ones.
Oh wait. Now I can. Damn.
-
Wow. It really DOES seem like I've been here longer! And yet, I'm still a me< 1 year n00bz0r5. How 'bout them apples? Kinda weird how I don't seem that new here... Perhaps charas has a time-space continuum rift similar to the one around my school's geography... Great. Now I'm gonna be pondering over how to explain these events logically for the next WEEK!
-
Wow...it really has been a long time. I've made alot of good friends here on Charas, and with out this site, I probabaly wouldn't have continued to make games. :D
11 months! w00t!!
-
Well I gotta say I kinda like this thread because I can
'gasp!'
contribute.
Charas; like anyother community has grown with it's ups and down. No matter what you all think, we're still a relativly small forum, and we keep pretty quiet. So for all you "man this forums too big now" ppl, trust me...it'll get bigger.
Sometimes I do reflect. From the time I first joined to being the most powerful Mod (board wise) It was a weird journey...many don't even know my art on which I pride much more than anythign else I do. ( I REALLY gotta update) Alot haven't even spoken to me.
I do remember a time when I knew every single user on a decent level. But I see that's kinda gone too. Not a bad thing. Just means fresh users: fresh ideas. I'm glad to see you all grow.

I forgot to originally mention that you should have your legs broke for this.
Zomg, roflcopter etc, MM = Jesus.

Agreed. RRWP is like, the first actual prophet of the Charas board. And probably the only one.
So, prepare to lose your head.
-
Hey, it was a legit question. Not like I was gonna go looking for 3 year old posts... _sweat_
-
Everybody who compares RRWP with Raffletard should get his legs broken.

He... er... wasn't comparing.
Besides, how else would we find out? His account shows he has no posts (Actually, two, but none of them show up on the search), so we can't figure out what he was like.
-
Wow, he must of done something pretty hardcore to piss you guys off that bad after two posts. jk
Well, I agree with Bluhman. I was making a random guess, I know nothing about this RRWP. It's not a part of my recent history.
-
RRWP was a harsh critic. But a great one. If ever you wanted to better your game, he'd be the guy to go to.
Then he couldn't see eye to eye with Gary and Mid, and later went on a tangent and deleted all his posts.
But he wasn't as funny as MrMister. He makes baby n00bs cry.
-
Okay, thankyou for that. Well, doesn't sound like a half bad guy, in my opinion.
-
God...
****damnit, that's something you could have found out when you read my posts properly.
-
Well, if you would've just SAID that, it would've cut a lot of the bullshit out. It's not like it's really that big a deal.
-
em...actually RRWP is NOTHING compared to the member sense we have today. And the reason being , he's been on forums longer. I've personally talked to RRWP once a long long time ago. He's actually a very nice person. Not as mysterious and dark omen as ppl make him sound.
I'm sure he's not even flattered his names being batted around. He's just that kinda guy.
-
whaddaya mean "member sense"? the average intellegence of todays users, or how most of us percieve him?

He was cool. I came right before his whole thing.

Okay, let's just rest the case, since most of the new people don't know anything about the whole situation and think he was some sort of random idiot.
What I was trying to say is, the forum did become a pile of ****, RRWP only did point it out. He was boo'd away just because he just talked differently, just because he was misunderstood, and just because people wouldn't listen.
Yes, how many times were there dark ages? I've been trough dark ages on other forums, but they did limit themselves. Here things always get out of hand. Where on other forums people solve things with normal ignoring, here we go like OMFG U SHIATHEAD FUK U DIE BIATCH!
That was the mentality RRWP was aiming at, and that's what RRWP tried to point out. But these new kids just blurt out ****, and other new people blurt out other **** so that a NEW flame war gets started. It's like we never learn.
I mean, why do I keep making funny topics when there is **** going on on this forum? Not because I don't care, but because I want to distract people from ****. Somehow most here are stubborn, and, here's something RRWP was really right about, IMMATURE. Yes, even if you are younger than me or him, YOU SHOULD ACT MATURE. It is not the way you speak, my brother goes to a certain forum and talks like a n00b, but in fact he acts more mature than me.
Why can't you?

Well, you do have a point there. I'll admit, during the last few flame wars I wasn't always mature. I lost my cool a few times, there's proof in the junk bin of that. I think I realized that toward the end, but it was too late then.

Yeah, Charas...I can´t even remember what was the first thing I did when I came to the forums...I remember that I found the site and was amazed by the resources amount. I thought the site layout looked...crappy.
But then I registered to have some doubts taken, and then I stayed. The big shots, when I first came in, were: Alex, Red Giant, Warxe, Carmen, Shinote*&¨%$#, Charaman and Moose. The others were also important, of course, but these were more present and seemed to be the big shots around.
But I never stood up too much in here. I tried to stay neutral as much as I could. It took a lot of time to people say and remeber "Almeidaboo" in here, and I´m still fresh meat, if you ask me.
Something I can´t explain captivated me in here, and it is still the only forum I´m a regular. It´s been an awesome time, and I don´t plan to leave. I´ve made some nice friends in here, and I plan to stick around to see what the future holds to us!
-
Oh well, other sites may have tranquilatey (lmao, sp)
but here at Charas, we have that one special thing.
The Charas Bug.
Once it bites, you'll want to come back as soon as you leave. It keeps you coming day after day.
Hell, I think that Real Robots Wear Pants came back at one point. And then he left again, never to be seen. Again.
