Blackboar · 01-01-2003, 10:43 AM

Look on this site! It is where it all started!

You should give it a look at! I found it quite interesting!!

The old entmoot

I hope the link works!!

They never seem to work for me

Laurelyn · 01-01-2003, 12:55 PM

Gah. EZboards. We hates them, precious! They bring pop-ups.

DraztiK · 01-01-2003, 02:22 PM

Dat's whut Popup stoppaz r good fo yo!

Blackboar · 01-01-2003, 02:35 PM

They are really annoying!!

I'm glad this message board hasn't got pop-ups!!

BeardofPants · 01-01-2003, 02:46 PM

Heh heh. I love mozilla. No more pop-ups for me.

Blackboar · 01-02-2003, 07:06 AM

Well? What do you think of the old entmoot?

I think its really interesting but not many people have posted about it

Falagar · 01-02-2003, 07:36 AM

I found SGH, IronParrot and Anduin (if it's the same) from this forum there. There are probably more but I didn't look very close...

Looks interesting...

Elf.Freak · 01-02-2003, 10:06 AM

there was an old Entmoot? Cool!

Legolas_is_fit · 01-02-2003, 10:42 AM

I think the old emoot is cool even if there arnt many messages.
BUT there are to many pop things what they called are yes...Adverts.

and i hate them

L@ur@y Elven Warrior · 01-02-2003, 10:48 AM

The old Entmoot is okay.

Shadowfax · 01-02-2003, 12:00 PM

DIE POPUPS!!!!!

Laurelyn · 01-02-2003, 05:24 PM

Gotta love Ben for moving to VBulletin and not adding pop-ups.

No, really, though, Blackboar? I dug through a couple of threads before my hatred for EZboards and popups drove me away; it's cool. I often wish I was around on Entmoot way back even in its EZboard days. I wouldn't feel like just another movie-brought once-newbie who 90% doesn't type in complete sentences, except for when I do.

Some of the discussions are pretty interesting, and I noticed that some of them have circled back around to haunt us here.
I find it amusing still that it says it will be deleted. And it won't.
(Hey Ben; are some of those threads in the Archive stuff that got moved somehow? I honestly don't know

)

Elenka · 01-02-2003, 07:58 PM

We-ird!!

Finmandos12 · 01-02-2003, 11:14 PM

Those were the days.... Not to be rude to any of the newbies, but I liked the board better when it was smaller, and you knew everyone.

***HOBBIT*** · 01-02-2003, 11:24 PM

hmm speaking of newbs, what do you consider yourselves?

That is not a very good view of the old message board. Ezboard killed it with deleting most of the messages, hundreds of members (there were well over 1500 members registered - entmoot wasn't that little then..

), got rid of some of the buttons and images, and that annoying deletion notice. Who uses ezboards anymore? They really suck. They never used to have all those ads and poor service.

I remember when ezboards used to be cool and entmoot was one of the most successful ezboards - I had a successful ezboard at the time too (about Harry Potter) and ezboard interviewed us for their newsletter. They sent us t-shirts, mugs, pens with the ezboard logo. It was nice.

All the posts were trasnfered over. On ezboard - threads "fell off" after 20 pages in a forum. The topics were moved - but the posters are all listed as "guests."

Renille · 01-03-2003, 12:02 AM

I constantly kick myself for not having discovered the moot in August instead of September 1st! Then I could have seen the before and after. Instead, I got here soon after VBulletin was installed. Oh well.

As Tristan said, on ezboard we were limited to 20 pages of threads per forum. Once that maximum was reached, old threads would be deleted. To preserve some of our favorites, we created a read-only forum on Entmoot to move these old threads, and called it the Archive.

In August 2001, we moved from ezboard to vBulletin. All posts were transferred, so the messages before then exist both here and on the original ezboard. Members were not transferred, though, so we had to start from scratch. The old ezboard had about 900 registered members. The members could re-register here (about 100 did), and we edited their profile to reflect their previous registration date and post total to give the illusion of having the same account. However, all the posts prior to August 2001 will list "Guest" under all the usernames.

Now we have pretty much unlimited pages per forum, so there is no advantage to having threads in one forum over another. The Archive was transferred over along with everything else, but we just left it intact (and still add to it), because it's a nice central place to keep old threads.

Laurelyn · 01-03-2003, 01:03 AM

Ah. Okay. Gotcha.

Hoom, hoom. I remember. And I was new.

Blackboar · 01-03-2003, 05:17 AM

Hmm....

I wish I joined then!!

And I'm kind of a newbie you know. I havn't been on the board for very long at all!

Well, it's not our fault that PJ brought out the movie before we found the entmoot, now is it?

he should have waited another month or so....

Seeing the old entmoot is kind of.... cute. It feels a little like looking in my parents photobooks at pictures from when they were my age.

The entmoot has come a long way since then I guess. I can believe it was better those days when you knew every one, Finmandos12 and I sometimes wish I was there to witness it. Unfortunately I don't see those days returning and I'm not leaving. I'll guess you'll just have to get to know me.

I may not be one of those that started it but I'm glad to be here today and bugger the lot of you.

(I'm sorry, I'm feeling extremely pesky today...night, must be because it's past my bedtime.)
