I was looking through my Photobucket account, and I saw some pictures that made me reminisce of older days on VGC.

Ah... I miss it.:(

Does anybody have any classic stuff they miss, as well?
The Hammer.
Being new and the forum interesting
Scooter
Untamed Inspiration
Jack Patterson (think that's the name)
FoppyD
Bradimus
Modding the music board (kinda)
When everyone was overly cynical and mean
The epic battle for Angelwing
The cd exchange thread
When everyone would join in on a huge, stupid, and lengthy AIM chat. Good times.
Hannibal King? More like fagmaster.
When we had romantic dramas on here
Idiot Brigade
When this felt like a community
When there are a lot of other people here
Untamed Inspiration
Flame Board (not the wacko version)
The lulz
Sabredog's drunk rampage
... Yeah, that's all I got. Seriously though, people are viewing the past through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses.
Remember when these threads wouldn't come up every month?
[QUOTE=Shin-Ra;766916]Jack Patterson (think that's the name)
I wasn't here long enough for most of this "old" stuff, but man, Jack Pattinson* ruled hard.

Those recent threads are more about complaining about current-VGC than remembering the good ol' days. I still enjoy this place. I wouldn't keep coming here if I didn't. I'm having good times now, but that doesn't mean I can't also remember the good times back then.:p
Oh my! How about classic member avatars? Soul Calibur and Homestar Runner? G-Sides and Bender? And, although new at the time, Junior Senior and Junior Senior?
Xenos, how many different name changes did you go through? For that matter, how many different name changes did Admiral Anthrax/MetalFortress/etc. go through?
Anyone remember Capcom vs. SNK month?
... Yeah, I didn't think so.
remember when linko was normal!?
I don't think it's completely biased. VGC WAS much more active in the past and people were a lot more different. It was more fun to get into heated arguments, which were quickly flooded with posts, and the members didn't seem as clique-y. I do prefer VGC back then. It's not completely stellar compared to current VGC, but there are plenty of aspects I miss.
or pretended to be anyways. and acted like a cutsey fag. how you've changed...FOR THE BETTAR
I was normal when I was a kid. The change started as I grew up and I either tried to ignore it or didn't notice and continued acting the same... I can't really remember.
You changed, man... you've changed...
His inner demons are trying to break out and they are gradually succeeding!
Half you guys never knew the real old me. Maybe the grown-up-but-faking-it me at best.

Lol, I remember when you modded like twenty boards.

***LOCKED***
VGC has been flat-lining lately.

Jesse sucks at SEO :(
Anyway, yeah, no doubt VGC was at it's peak in 2002-2004, as far as activity goes anyway. I can safely say 2003 was probably the most interesting year I can remember from being part this place. Not really much nostalgia though.
AH HA HA THE NAME "SORA PLETHORA" STILL STICKS, AWESOME.
Anyway, I dunno that activity necessarily = good times for VGC.
I just dug up some of those "With You, Always..." pics that I did.
Lol, he even looks like he might be saying those things in each of these pics.
I remember the "Dexter is a girl" fiasco, When Raptor and that one creepy guy had that thread about furries when the aforementioned creepy guy came out about being a furry, ummmm. . . Amy Rose. . . The Judge and his cinnamon toast crunch, the old AFI arguments in music board, etc etc
I just remembered something. I didn't think I still had this image. I made it during weird "love triangle" thing involving Sean Fury and Sable Wind (long time ago, 2003 I think). He was also commonly referred to as Waldo at the time. Anyway, I posted this. Got a few lols:
