You know, I'm not even sure how long I've been a member of GAF. I first joined several board formats ago, I want to say in '97 or so? I know it was years before Kohan came out, and that was 2000.
Holy Shit. O_O
Whoa

I've been here since... fuck, I can't remember. I know it was back in the gaming-age/forums days, then we went to some shitty vbulletin host, before finally landing at neogaf.com. So probably 2000-2001-ish?
Goddamn, my gaf account is almost old enough to vote.
I've been lurking since 98. Didn't get an account until 2000 though. Right when the Doom 3 pics came out.
No one can possibly be the person they are on here IRL
Really? I thought they were swell.Hell, I never liked ronito or Hitokage, but I miss them both all the same.
I'm actually a hamster IRL.
Really? I thought they were swell.
I started lurking Gaming Age in 2003 or 2004 for sales threads. Those sweet, sweet full data sets from NPD were amazing
I'm coming to post here in this Veterans-GAF thread. ☹️
Ha, same. Was hoping to get answers on Drinky but this'll do.
Joined in '01 after finding out about GAF since it had all the good rooms on the original Phantasy Star Online. Have been active pretty much ever since with a few lulls. Always enjoy spotting an old-school person I haven't seen in a while on a random thread.
Been around since 2000, as many of you know. Had quite a prolific and loud demeanor as a teenager back then. Hahaha. One of my favorite moments on this forum might still be when we had a fake/wannabe 'Japanese' GAFer outed as a major liar and he wrote this amazing meltdown thread. The name escapes me at the moment, but that was some shit. Kitsune was it?
Kitsune said:Alright, I'm sick and tired of this.
But this isn't for you, not any of the gossipy muckety muck gutter****ing cock jockeys who can't mind their own business and thrive on people's controversies when they've done nothing to deserve them.
Whoever brought this out, I'll let you have your satisfaction: whatever you tried to do, you succeeded royally at messing up my real life. Go ahead and smile or whatever it is inhuman jackasses like you do. It won't change the fact that I know exactly who I am and I don't really care if anyone else doubts it. It matters not one bit when nothing changes for the reality of me: one Japanese guy living in Japan.
That's the last thing I have to say the GA Forum.

But this.
This is for you.
I know you're reading this. I also know you can understand this. I still don't know how you got all this information, but I'll find out. I admit I don't know how someone could be so damn screwy in the head to go through all the effort you've gone through, especially over me.
But that doesn't change the fact that on top of that, I know who you are now. Yeah, go ahead and shake your head like I'm bluffing. You know in the depths of your nasty, mean little heart that I'm telling the truth.
You'll find out soon enough what the consequences are for doing what you've done to me over the past year and a half.
There's going to be no more fear, and no more harassment, at least not on my side. I'm going to live normally again no matter what you do.
I'd just like to let you know that's nothing changed in the last ten years. Oh yes. I've grown up and gone to live in the US and come back here and all that, but I'm still just as violent and cruel as you remember. If anything, I've only gotten stronger.
If you do one more thing to me...know this: no one will be able to hear you scream. And I won't make it quick.
And if you think you can use this for evidence, well you know now that what used to be your strength is now your weakness: no one will be able to track it to the real me.

Holy shit, FoxSpiritShadow... I remember that meltdown, but I always regaded FSS as a really good poster who was quite eloquent and reasoned in his arguments and game discussions. What prompted that epic meltdown?
I think that happened on PaleoGAF. So unless there's a goodcow archive, it might not be around any more.
*search*
Oh, never mind. Found a copy of it.
Context is that Kitsune had been very vocal about living in Japan and being Japanese and blah blah blah, and had just been outed as a liar.
RIP Himuro & Blackace
bruh this supposed to be your era & don't nobody know you
I joined in 2008. This thread makes me feel so young yet old.
I'll say it again.
The craziest GAF thread of all time still the thread where Jbaird just went totally mental.
I've honestly never seen anything like it personally happen on the internet in real time (vs stories and links to other crazy shit I wasn't there for).
I thought he was the one with the cow avatar 🐄
I don't think trojita is actually a dog. How would he post from mobile with paws? Fairly sure paws don't work on smartphones.
Also i don't much care for long term posters but it's depressing to see cool peeps come and go very quickly.
Does anyone remember the GAFFer that made cartoons in NPD threads and such?
He was an older fellow. Cool guy. I forget his name.
Legendary photoshops
One of my favorite threads.
Those were the best years of GAF for sure. XD
Man, I've been here 11 years. How crazy.
Best tag ever.
Of course I remember him.Who remembers Gigadent?
I think of all Sega fanboys, he may have been the most dedicated. Dedicated to the point of delusion...but dedicated nonetheless.
Of course I remember him.
Lazy8s >>> Gigadent though.
So very true.GAF was a tough place back then. The fights were epic and childish at the same time.
Two words. Super. Kyro.Let's go back further and talk about Futami, Deadmeat, and opa-opa.
I remember many long, drawn out arguments with Deadmeat. He made Sega fans like myself look like assholes. Couldn't stand the guy. Between him and Gigadent, the fanboys on the board made it almost unbearable at times. I believe Gigadent got busted with a receipt he found online trying to pass it off to prove he had bought an XBox, only to be so disappointed that he was returning it, or some other bullshit.
Forgot all about opa...
Hahahaha. Yeah that was me. He said he was disappointed with the system or some shit and that it sucked. He kept bashing it, that he wanted to like it, etc. And it all came off too fake and I asked him to prove he has the system with a simple test. Count how many ridges the console had on its sides and some other crap. He had the count way off (especially considering the console was symmetrical - he had two different counts per side) and then posted a "receipt" so badly photoshopped it burst the thread wide open.
So before Whitney Houston asked for receipts, there was my thread. Looking back, it was so stupid. But I was like 17 at the time and had nothing better to do but troll around.
But the Wii-UOnce Nintendo became successful with the DS and Wii his gimmick didn't really work anymore
You know, I almost put a "Super Kyro, baby!" at the end of my post.So very true.
Two words. Super. Kyro.
