This is not like the IW of old - Page 8

Well, Six and Dundee patrol the boards like the old days, sometimes pointing out errors. Every once in a while a topic will be started that will sprout into a nice discussion concerning gaming ethics, good classes, weapons and stuff like that.

Sir Exxon is a frequent poster on Silver River, I don't know why he left here. As for Alson, I haven't got the faintest clue. Both Pirengle and Hank Parsons (both knowledgeable about BG2) I haven't seen lately.

Ah the BG2 forum. Back in the day I was one of the BG2 mod development gurus, check out the photo album page 14 if ya don't believe me

But by the time I came to IW I had already played BG2 to death and couldn't be bothered answering newb questions (did all that back on BGDungeon - Ah THOSE were the days)

Well, he isn't there as much as he used to be.

Vask's refers to either the "blue boards" which existed sometime in 2001 (and turned brown just before I registered) or maybe the time of t0tal br0wnage, 2001-2003 or somesuch, in which the forums were personal and contained lots of drama ( [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and more inside jokes I guess. The "How Did Ironworks Get It's Name?" thread, the "Ironworks Movie" threads, "Trouser Tyranny" or some such barmy nonsense which I never understood [img]tongue.gif[/img] and other curious discussions were made during that time cap, if memory serves.

Pirengle is a name that i remember, though the deeds escape me. I'm getting a blank for HP. There's still more that i can't think of. I guess i'm gonna have to trundle over to the archives and check it out. Thanks Link [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow I never realized how close I came to joining during the blue board era. I thought the blue boards were around circa 1999 or 2000.
