First off, what in the hell is "QFT"?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=QFT

QFT = Quoted For Truth. It's a quick way to say "I strongly agree with all this but don't have much to add so instead I'll just repost it as a big quote lolz".

Ah I see, it has been a while since iv been in a forum lol

We will just pretend I already knew that haha

I miss the dip.

And your welcome Kidd! I feel the same way, honestly I miss livewire/lowlife/kamikaze/crustyhippy/mud and that's just who comes to mind. After seeing all the new people I found it hard to relate to them n simply felt like an outcast. But who knows what the future will hold

Iv been feeling nostalgic lately. And quite frankly I sorted expected a flame war to break out. After all, I was trying to remember the old days.

Raine noooooooooooooooooo I didn't get to read all that toasted goodness u cleaned up T,T.

However it's good to see so any familiar faces in here now

QFT on all counts.

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy reading yalls memories and experiences with the site, it reminds me why I have always liked XBA so much.

Personally, I don't see much here as a flame war, I see the negative stuff as "constructive criticism" with some good ideas and suggestions for things I myself can do.

As far as articles/reviews, to be honest I didn't see Kat's guidelines as "rules" so much as I did guidelines and my recent reviews have been purposely concise--if people actually respond and ask more in depth question about the game, I'll respond with the info. To me that's a quick and easy way to gauge interest and provide info without wasting my or anyone else's time.

BUT, with that being said, if proper reviews & articles are preferred, I will clean up my act. I am pretty fuckin' stoked hearing all these great memories and not only has it reminded me why I like this community it also reminded me why I want to contribute to it.

To be fair, your reviews are clearly labeled "meta's comprehensive reviews" or whatever and then they all follow a format. I have article guidelines for news post that I don't follow for Kat's Korner too, but that's schtick. I think staf writers get a little bit of license for schtick.

I missed out on all the good times between 07 and 09. Guess that's what I get for signing up, then forgetting about having done so.

What he fuck happened? Thread started out great and turned into a flame war.

So here goes. Why don't I post like I used to? Quite a few things really. I'll cover a little of it.

A couple years ago, some personal shit went down, my closest "friends" here know about it. I took a break and also cut my gaming back by a huge margin. When I returned, a lot of new members had joined, who were pretty regular posters it seemed. I felt I didn't know them, I had been gone a little while. During that time some of my "besties" left the site. While I feel that I still know a good bit of members here, it has just never felt the same for me. My crew pretty much all left. I still post/shout to the memebers still here that I knew from before, but nowhere near the level i used to.

For me it is nothing to do with articles, posts, threads, etc.

For me, it is like my group, my time/era, is ended. I mostly lurk now, and if something actually sparks a response, I give it. Hell, I even gave away my intro post. Mike does it now, because I knew my time on site was declining massively. I even basically single handedly killed the trade thread, by failing to update it regularly.

I have 2 boys in sports and a full time job, life gets in the way a lot now.

That said, some of my favorite threads ever from my heyday:

Whats behind YOUR Gamertag Just as it says. A thread to explain why you chose your identity on XBL.

To NOAH9000 Messing with a good friend, and I miss him greatly around here.

call of duty 3 boosters needed LOL, the times we had, those of us who tormented ourselves with this. And my dumbass went through it twice because I promised a friend i would help him complete the game.

Then there were the threads that almost got the original Mike and me banned, lol. Those were the times.

Call of Duty 3 boosting is my favorite memory of XBA period. To all of you who served with me me and Pure here, you know who you are.

I for one think my favorite thing from the past was when more members actually played together. It brought a sense of friendship and community to the site that seems to be lacking as of late. I also see it as a great way to meet new members and to encourage some of our lurkers to participate in the forums. This can be done by anyone new or long time members. It doesn't have to be a tournament or prizes or anything, just show up and lets play. I'm going to make something for this Saturday.
