That's right, it is I, the one! The only! Doc Twisted, the original pranksta!

Recently got banned from a board after getting into a tiff about what constituted abuse of administrative powers, and having the UNMITIGATED GALL to ask for an apology from the responsible party. I didn't even specify public or private. I just said I found their action hurtful and wanted an apology.

And to think, it started when I custom made an RP at that person's request. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

So then I start looking around, trying to find another board to haunt... and most the ones I knew of were dead. Oh, the boards were still there, but the newest post was a month or more old, and the subject was along the lines of "Is anybody still here?" The answer, most obviously, was no.

New Dawn is Now Gone. Damage Inc is Dormant. Bloodfin is floating upside-down. Carnage is a bloated corpse. I tried finding Tooth and Claw, but my search just found an MMO I'd never heard of.

Frost Knights is still under some oppressive thumbs, I wouldn't set foot in Shadow Raven if there was money in it, and I never did get much of a warm welcome in Titan, so I didn't try any of those.

T'Gatherin... has apparently become its own site, and I might look more into it later. If someone wants the link I'm happy to share.

So, I'm dropping in to say "Hi." I still play Guild Wars, and I also am into City of Heroes and Kingdom of Loathing. I have a ForumWarz account, but haven't really been interested in playing it since episode 2 ended. Who here remembers me?

hiya Doc, guess I need to warm myself up for debates on who the "True Fool" is again eh?, lmao.

as for the different sites, to be honest I dont roam as much as I used to, but is does not surprise me to hear that many places are too quiet.

I do know that Bob and tammy had revamped New Dawn, then switched sites, revamped again, I'll have to check to see what site they are at now. its good to see you again my friend

Well the last site I had for them is New Dawn Family. I went there this evening only to find a forum full of spam ads. If you've got somewhere more current to look, I'd like to check it out.

I've always believed there can be more than one "true" fool. I'm not here to compete, I'm here to cooperate.

Hey man, thats been a while! I heard similar stories from other people about the places you visited. I guess we're dangling along, but we too are not nearly as active as we once were. I wish we were tho. I miss it. But the reality is that we, its founders, have grown older and mostly have found other things more important lately. The new breed doesn't really frequent forums like we did back then, they have no need for it. Its all in-game chat now!

But it is nice to see an old soul with taste...even tho he chose us last

I didn't choose you last, I chose T'Gatherin last because Cien/Ki might have been there and that would've been a bit awkward.

And I had started with clans I knew to still be on Yuku, because it meant not having to create a new profile.

Like the avatar, btw? It's me showing off a fish I caught in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

....Fish? Where??

It's a small brown one, in his left hand. It's easier seen in the orginal screenshot:



Also in that, you can see I'm wearing a trenchcoat.

Hahaha the trenchcoat is a nice addition. It describes personality

Hiah Doc! I remember you, the 2nd fool.

I do check other forums from time to time but like you say, pretty quiet out there. Anyone that keeps together tend to do so over the internet. Like in Guild Wars, which I still play, I chat with the guild I am in and use vent all the time and their forum is only used by a few people and then just sparingly.

Yeah... what is "vent" anyway? I saw it mentioned here and there but I don't have any familiarity with it.

Vent stands for Ventrillo, its an application that allows for mass voice over IP chats. Very handy when you're doing raids with people at the same time

Ah, I wear a headset enough at work, I don't want to come home and put another one on.

I'm so used to headset at work, headset at gaming that I feel wierd without it LOL!

I've never been comfortable with them. Makes my ear itch. Then if I move my head too much, the whole rig tugs on my big head.

How big? Well, that avatar from Animal Crossing is actually to scale.

You may want to stop wearing your old fixed headset with the rubber band around your head. Buy an actual headset that weighs less than a ton, I hear it helps
