14 points[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.

13 pointsLuuv 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.

10 pointsI'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/

10 pointsTwenty 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.

9 pointsFound this doing a bit of digging. 05MAY03 Dawn of Time Creation of SoyBomb 27MAY03 Boards open. 16JUN03 First webcam party (the one without audio). Midsummer '03: Boards restructured from previous 3 folder format. Rants, Babbling, IB, other anime, and show suggestions added. 04JUL03 The first Black & White bumper card suggestion thread was posted by Soultaker. 07JUL03 Inuyasha is taken off the schedule. Mass riots insue. Action vs. Comedy war begins; "becuz anime is teh s uck" is born. 09JUL03 Enlisted SwimMod CJ 26OCT03 Episode 20 of The Big O is aired instead of the season finale. Number of new messages reportedly increased 300% during the twelve hours after the episode aired. 26OCT03 Second webcam party; drunken chix0r insults fans. 02NOV03 Adult Swim airs the beginning of the "wrong" episode of Big O from last week for about 25 seconds. Before Adult Swim can say "Sorry, we had to do it.", the boards already receive a few complain threads. And to a lesser extent, there are several complaints about the Weinstein episode of Family Guy not airing as planned, despite the PROGRAMING ALERTs that aired all week. 14DEC03 A quiet Sunday morning, until a user going by the name USArmy decided to inform us all that the United States Army had found Saddam Hussein cowering in a hole about 150 times.

9 pointsI 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.

7 pointsRemember 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…
-
7 pointsWeed 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.

7 pointsI'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.

7 pointsYou 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.

6 pointsI'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.

-
6 pointsMan... 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.

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

6 pointsI 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.
-
6 pointsI still talk about Goldar, Moparman and Tets often. We had a lot of good memories.
-
6 pointsThere's no reason this place can't be as good or better than that place (and time).
-
6 pointsGoldar. I still see his account pretty much every time I log into a battle.net account. I miss him.

5 pointsAlright, 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.

5 pointsThere'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.
