When was the Golden Age?

[Darth Wagtaros]

I'm waiting for the cupcakes to be done. I'm bored. Yeah, that's right.

[Grallon]

Ever thought of writing Wag ?  I find your use of language as inventive as it is evocative


EDIT: and I loathe these smilies - except this one

I'm not sure where Kapland fits but I'd say roughly the second year. Still gaining new people, Crunchy's emo attention whoring gone, Monkeybutt still not a complete grouch, Jaron was becoming an entertaining troll rather than just doing lame insults.

[Tamas]

Consolidation because that's when I have become active here.

[Norgy]

Around 2003.

[grumbler]

Around 2003.

Yeah, though I'd move it back to late 2002, before the heavy-handed modding set in, and Paradox began to look on EUOT as an albatross around their neck.

[Queequeg]

Whenever Sav started writing Fanfiction. 

There is nothing stopping this from becoming a Second Golden age, though I think we need some new blood.

[FunkMonk]

I lurked for years, starting around 2001/2002. I'd have to say Pre-Diaspora EUOT.

[Martinus]

I don't think I can make up my mind on this - some periods were better for some things but worse for others.

For example, initially, on the pre-diaspora Paradox, there was a lot of cool stuff going on, like the EU RPG. But now I know a lot of you a lot better, and some of you are my real life friends, so in that sense it is better than anything before.

We went from a gaming forum to a social network. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

You should change your smiley settings then.  The version that says something like forum / board default has all of our old languish smileys

[garbon]

I picked Consolidatoin(sic). That's when we became an insular, dysfunctional family.

I'm Captain fucking sunshine sweethart. And the fucking Batman.

[CountDeMoney]

They had it a-comin'.

Yeah, but the place was crawling with Russophiles.  Now, we only have one Russophile (Spellus), and a few actual Russians (yourself, Sahib, etc.).

[The Larch]

Doubted between the first two, ended up voting for #2, Languish's emergence.
