Eighteen years of Pirate-Community

[Steo]

I'm old so no.

[Sevy]

Though when this forum started I had just turned 10/11 I think lol

[PluMGMK]

I would've been seven… I'm so glad I didn't find this place until I was 13! I mean, I was still nooby as hell, but at least I had some sort of grasp of the rules!

[Hunchman801]

I was a nooby admin, and the place still survived somehow.

I'm just some random person and I exist so that's cool how I found a Rayman community.

But how do you know you exist?

(More seriously, I think I might add this to my collection!)

Maybe I don't exist, maybe this is all some eejiocy.

When did you last update it?

[PluMGMK]

On the 11th of May this year apparently!

[Hunchman801]

And the lucky winner is?

[Steo]

The guy who gives out free samples at the supermarket!

[PluMGMK]

The latest addition? I actually added two for the sake of balance – there was DesLife wondering why you'd bother with a GUI when you have ncurses, and Lovy conversely wondering why you'd bother with ncurses when you have a GUI!

Old quotes, I see. Do we not say anything of interest nowadays?

[Steo]

Are these guys using LFS too? I doubt it.

I was like "What's with all the tons of posts in threads that have been dormant for a while?" And then like "Oh, right, it's the posts-in-a-day thingy".

I guess a good quote is like a good wine!

Most of them I had no idea even existed, so it makes for a handful of pleasant discoveries.

[PluMGMK]

Well, that's one of the goals of Record Day, to reshuffle the discussions and keep the new year interesting! And I guess it's the only goal when the actual record is so comically out of reach!

[dr_st]

Yes. It's amazing. This thing used to be almost like an IRC chat server. There were years when within 3 minutes you'd have 5 answers to a TTQ question. I guess this was before the social media boom. Now the instant real-time conversations have migrated there, and the forums are becoming more like information archives, or a multi-person public email discussion. I think it's great, as long as there is enough "meat" for the forums to stay alive, and I think RPC is doing great in that regard!

[PluMGMK]

Yeah, I suppose we are like a mailing list now, but way prettier!
