Hmm. I don't remember when I started coming around here...
Heretic!

Friendly, helpful and surprisingly light on the drama.
Save our game Master post.
a 60 month badge hunter doesn't necessarily mean one of the art vet collectors, just means we've been here long enough to pay that long.. Although the vet vet art collectors prolly have that badge and then some.

And I dunno how this forum got kicked off; I was a very light browser when I started playing. I kinda gleaned some names of the big shots but didn't really know anything. I mostly did my own thing and it was over a year after I joined before I even signed up for a forum account. Even then it was still quite a while before I posted. (In a thread about markers.)
Except that a lot of the game's management's attitude toward fanart was very hush-hush. The artists didn't get much support or recognition... it was kinda like we were the black sheep of the game.

"In the Beginning, the Game it was epic fail. But we had the Costume Creator... then lo and behold, came the prophet Celtic Bolt, and he did hand out the freebies like locusts from the sky... okay maybe not locusts...
The art was a plenty, and then one day Jomaro Kindred cast a spell upon the land, and so did Brandon McKinney, and the collectors, those first proud few... Buckeyestar, Katfood, Bayani, and he who shall not be named *cough cough cough TA* were happy.
And unto the land came Douglas Shuler, and Sorah Suhung and David Nakayama sketches..."
The Collectors were few back then, not like now where every Dom, Rich and Mary thinks he has a collection after getting 3 pieces... It was all too much, until one day the all powerful Canadian, (that's right Canadian) Juggertha climbed the mountain of Woe, and wrote the How to Request Fan Art thread... (which newbs still don't read).
Ah many were the faces back then, many of who have left us to play the god forsaken ADD World of Warcraft... May Statesm... I mean Positron strike them down!"

Okay but seriously, I would love to know the history, or the timeline of how it all began, can some of the old timers, chime in... this means you TA, Turboski, Syrusb, you 58 month badge whores... etc...
Any insight to how things were, compared to how things are now... what has changed? For good or bad... Inquiring minds want to know. Okay I want to know... but make it good, I needs a bedtime story.
