It just is a title for the amount of posts. It was decided upon by the folks that were getting close to, 10k posts I believe.
The forum title for posts just before that is 'Forum Cartel'.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

This thread is awesome. To add something... uh...
Did you know that the 5th Column conspiracy nuts were totally wrong?

Yeah I did notice that. And since I got shouted down by some of them when I suggested those markings on the Ouroboros symbol might just be...well.."markings", I find it tremendously funny.
In further reply to Entropy_Aegis: "Cuppa Incarnate" is in reference to the second head forum moderator these boards have had: Cuppajo.
(Aura was the first)

I chose it. People had problems with my other choice "Golden God of the Forums"

Yeah. And Thomas Edison used electricity to torture little green mountain men.

My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Did you know, that there are still characters running around in the RCS? Well, character at least. Perhaps others.
Yeah, not strictly history but anybody want to have an RCS party? Maybe we can even get together enough for a TF.
I'm on Virtue incidentally but if needed we could copy to test and play there.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
A bit more recent history (and a thread bump!)
Combat Training: Offensive for VEATs was a tohit buff during the I12 beta. It was changed to an accuracy buff because it was seen as otherwise overpowered.

I am amazed at how many "Did you know X used to"s I didn't know aren't still that way.

First off, this post, writing the changes coming down at the time this post was written, August 2006, was a masterstroke.|

[/ QUOTE ] LOL Nice! *ahem* In the spirit of assuming that this thread will be read years down the line... Back in the day (I.E. at the time of the posting of this thread), Swift, Quickness, and Lightning Reflexes did NOT buff Flight Speed. After Enhancement Diversification (which I'm sure you've read about), it was difficult to reach the Flight SPeed cap on your own. At the time of the creating of this post, the patch for Swift, Quickness, and LR is still on the Test Server. |
I will be a two year vet the first week of May 2010. Only in the last couple of months have I been investigating these forums. I love the lore and the story of the game and the stories behind the stories of the game. This post has done exactly what the OP intended, four years later. It allows some reminiscing for older vets while showing us "newer vets" way back when how it was when you guys walked 5 miles in the bitter snow just to buy an inspiration.
Reciently, I have seen more of these throwback topics, how things were. I still learn something new each time a new one is started. I get to know the "game celebrities" of the past and fresh new takes on the personalities of today (Posi couldn't find the door in Bricks, how rich!).
Today is I17 +1 day. Three months prior to legally having Vill ATs in Atlas, quite the novelty back in the day. We can shoot things using a pair of guns and summon demons to perform at our beckond call. Peacebringers and Warshades unleashed at Level 20, as well as their Arachnos counterparts. Perhaps you'll share with your great-grand recruits when you actually had to hunt in the market for the salvage you needed for your recipies or how you actually had to trust someone to hold some of your money while you alt to a toon that needs it.
"You kids have it great with your graphics! I remember when I faught Lord Recluse and he was covered in pixels!"
I'd like to see this thread continue, adding more of the "Silver Age" content of CoX. Like, "...on my first ITF...", or "...remember what the cape mission was like before they opened the time capsule...". Hell, someone four years from now might be surprised to learn the Positron Task Force used to be worth 66 Merits. And Posi didn't send you to Faultline. Or Overbrook, if it isn't totally rebuilt by then.
Think about last week or last month or today. Tell us something you thought was cool. It may not be a big deal now, but sometime soon, when they change some other part of the game, someone will read this thread and think, "Wow...
...this game must of sucked back then. No way I would play this without my 'I win' button."
Sorry, but no zombie summoning on my watch. Start a new thread and link to this one please
