For those who don't know me, I've been a member of the Hype since 2004, most famously under the name FunBobPants. I've been banned in excess of twenty times, returning after each incident with a new username.

To cut to the chase, I've been away from the Hype for about two years, and boy howdy, how things have changed. Yes, I remember the days when the only boards under Community were the Community Board, Fanfic, Fan Art, and Technical Support. Yes, back in the good old days we kept our political discussions to the Community Board and our private message inboxes. In the good old days we had presidential elections that weren't rigged and lounges that didn't get shut down after 20,000 posts.

Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that us old hypesters have got to stick together. This thread can be considered the official lounge for all hypesters who joined prior to January 2006.

Post away, kiddies.

Good call and welcome back.
Member since Feb 2004 here. I actually lurked for about 1-2 months prior to that.
If you have been banned 20 times, why havent they blocked your IP address?
 
Funbob should update himself how many lines he can have in his sig ;)
 
Do us oldbies really need a lounge for ourselves? I'm sorry, but this seems a little more than pretentious. We should not judge a person by their post count or join date, but the content of their posts, because there are some fantastic Hype members that joined past January 2006.
 
I mean JAL's an oldbie, but uhhhh, should we really be proud he's in that ''rank?"

Word!
 
Been around for six and a half years. I hadn't realized it was that long you'd been gone, former-FunBobPants.
 
We oldbies are awesome, yes, but we don't need our own lounge. That's what we have the invite-only social groups for! :up:
 
I have no problem with noobs, I just feel like I have no clue who a lot of them are, and that's who posts most in Community now. I miss a lot of people who don't post here anymore, and I definitely miss the conversation. I am very un-hip to the scene these days.
 
I guess I'm in this group by a meager three months or so... :p
 
So.... does the 2 am blackout still happen around here?

I stopped posting on a regular basis some time in late 2007, been posting off-and-on since then. I'm back for good now.

Why would you tell me this when...logic would suggest that I need to ban this s/n too?
