[adult swim] has been around 20 years and with that, friendships formed on the message boards. Many of us were really young, or youngish back then and maybe we thought we would live forever. Unfortunately that wasn’t meant to be. This thread is for the people we lost over the years. Some hung out on AIM, YIM, tinychat and irl. Forming some strong bonds that even death won’t break. To those people we say “we remember you and thank you for being in our lives” I’ll start with Luuv who saw the importance of these little friendships and connections and made this site with that in mind.

RIP Luuv. I keep paying the bill for this place mostly for his memory.

Luuv and I had a wild relationship. Here’s some inside baseball from the ASMB that I probably haven’t told. Y’all remember SwimTorrent was the community admin? They were wanting him to focus more on games, so there was an opening for admin, and SwimRaven decided the manager would come from within, specifically the mods. I’m not sure how many of us applied, but for me it was three interviews and I’m pretty sure it came down to me and Luuv. I probably win out narrowly because I literally lived in the city and could work in person. I think Luuv was pretty hurt and I don’t think our relationship was ever the same, which is really painful now since it truly can’t. He was an amazing guy and though we frequently butted heads, I loved talking to him and hearing his perspective.

I'm really happy I collaborated with everyone at the time to make a site where we could find everything in one place, and shockingly, it's still active. https://asmbinfo.wordpress.com/

Twenty years, damn! I was 46 when I started. Not sure if I'm still the oldest, but I can still walk and talk and cuss like a sailor. The son would have been 39 this year, but I lost him in 2015. We played "Blue" from Cowboy Bebop to finish his funeral. But, hell, I'm glad to see everyone here. I miss y'all.

I fear posting on these because I will forget someone and feel terrible. I will go cheap and say so many of you have fingerprints on my heart. I have a deep love and respect for at least a score of you.

9001% nostalgiagasm. I want to thank everyone for being here, and for all the work that is done to maintain the site so we can be. This community has gotten me through some rough and strange times. ありがとう

She is adorable and broke her leg and had surgery. Send her your power a la Spirit Bomb method.

Fun fact: If you garden naked in your backyard, your neighbors will build a privacy fence for you.

Shout out to these folks.

Remember when roleplay threads were a thing? You had to put “RP” in the title then post the entirety of SwimTorrent’s rules in the OP. There was always a mention of *looks around, punches SwimMod_Odin* really messed up my vanity search…

Weed is amazing, but nothing beats that euphoria of nostalgia trip. And damn, finding all this old shit, running through the archive on the old site, seeing a shit ton of people that I used to interact with on the daily (and getting a bit depressed at those that I lost contact with). Like damn, we really had something special, and it sucks that we saw that, but eventually we got brushed under the rug.

I'm glad it's been an opportunity for people to reconnect - both the people who just popped in to say hi and the folks who will stay a while. It's what we're here for.

Cringing at what I did 20 years ago.

Surprisingly not too hard to find.

You know what my absolute favorite was? When The_Spoon got a bump, and they cut it off halfway through and say something like "by this point we lost interest and noticed his sig" which said something like: "I have a poster of kagome in my room and every night before bed I unsheathe my tesseiga and windscar all over her face" I know I'm butchering it so someone's gotta find that.

i put on my wizard hat and robe

I've been sick for a week and going stir crazy. that said, last week I went over to a drummer friends house, me him and a bassist jammed for a while. last time I said I would have to throw away live shows, meh that was depression talking. I now get to pick 4 songs to cover until I get my songs written out. other than this damn cough I'm doing good, a lot more good days than bad days now, it only took these meds like 8 months to kick in. Slash. I was compared to Slash in both speed and technique.

UPDATE: THE CONE IS OFF

fuck yeah ASMB forever until we die

No, but I know how to get baked while eating an ice cream cake. Happy now, sad later.

Man... It's crazy to me, that after all these years, just randomly finding a link on another message board led me back here, only to find out that Luuv isn't here anymore. Luuv was good people, I got to work with him as a HELPeR on the old message board and he was always one of the easiest mods to get along with. Sucks how time works with you sometimes, but more often works against you.

rufus wants to know wtf you're looking at? and where's his ball?

I first joined bc of the bumps and wondering wtf is up with Inuyasha. Then pretty much stuck to IB bc the anime boards got super cliqueish. IB was home. IB was life.

I still talk about Goldar, Moparman and Tets often. We had a lot of good memories.

There's no reason this place can't be as good or better than that place (and time).

Goldar. I still see his account pretty much every time I log into a battle.net account. I miss him.

Alright, summer has arrived. Who is into what mayhem? Running around naked? Planting a garden? Chugging koolaid? Chasing the ice cream truck? I'm currently in vampire (no sunlight) mode because of the antibiotic I'm taking. No pool time for me for a couple of weeks. This sucks.

Taste like an orgasm after eating chocolate? 🤔

This is giving me Game of Thrones vibes. 😂 “What is dead can never die”

Because it causes that thick mucus like shit that forms in the back of your throat to be even thicker lol I just grossed myself out

yes

I'll be 86 and still the goddess you know today.

There's just so much, the people especially, doxiedaschie, chatmanmatt, crushrose, cidz, OMNI, CAC, amongst more that sadly escape me at the moment. Each left a lasting impact on me during a time, where I was merging from being a teen and working my way into my college years. The mods, Odin, Muse, Luuv especially come to mind, I got to work around CJ which was pretty cool during a time when I was looking to get into graphic design (my current job). I remember Torrent, I remember Humbug who I had a good relationship with, and really allowed me to get creative with a bunch of contests that I got to run around the numerous boards at the time. ASMB really allowed me to be creative, and I think it did for a lot of us, I remember the crazy shit that happened around those days. The List? Anyone remember that one? The board hacking that was just plain chaos, numerous April Fool pranks, AD doing the Year Books, or how we would keep track of the most minute stuff, like how many minutes we were logged into the site, or the Owl list (which I made it onto (unofficially), because I was a HELPeR at the time) and it's funny because if not for that, I probably wouldn't have been able to do what I do today. It definitely reminded me a simpler time, chilling around IB, or just talking with people about anime, it was when I found more time for myself, before college just completely swamped my life. Then I remember coming back and seeing the board not like it used to be, and then... next thing I know it's gone. It sucks, there's a lot of history there, lot of lost chats, cool stuff we did, lot of memories, lot of nostalgia. I still from time to time find myself thinking back to that stuff and just missing the shit out of it.

Oh, we doing pets again? Meow

I was told yall were doing some 20 year anniversary thingie so I figured I'd stop by and see what's going on. Hewwo everybody, some of you may remember me as psycho_raven.

We’re blessed to have an arcade near our house

She is having dreams of being either a bunny or a t-rex.

to celebrate, all the old mods are re-redded

I may be misremembering, but Moparman?
