So, 10 days from now, f13 turns five. While the official birthday is really like, February 12th or something, the first day people actually started posting was March 18th. So, 5 years later, who thought we'd still be around? I think me and Joe were the only ones. Maybe Ookii! And of course, Signe, mostly because if I don't mention her, she'll bring attention the fact I didn't.  why so serious?

Anyway, yea, Happy Birthday f13!

P.S.
Any one else feel scared and slightly disturbed that schild is an admin?

Look what I've got!

I think this was the first batch of avatars uploaded to our server, back in the day when people didn't understand things like "compression" and "photoshop." Back when Paint was enough for everyone. Back when I was "Eldin 2."

A look back at the first set of banners on f13!

I should really get around to updating the current ones with stuff that doesn't look so 2006!

Edit: As a bonus, I've added the banners for our failed WoW blog section! Still trying to dig up even older banners and the ones from the middle! Will keep adding!

Edit 2: Found 'em! Also added Gamerdiaries.com ones, another failed thing that was supposed to be like The Radicalthon, only its own blog. I don't know when SA started let's play, but these are dated 7/5/2005.

Edit 3: Oh, and for those that never found out. Banner o08.png is actually Tara Reid's grotesque nipple all warped through photoshop. Gross, but true. I did not like working with "that."

Someone should make a t-shirt, or maybe even a line of f13 t-shirts, that we could buy.

Well, happy birthday then. After what happened with the last few boards in the legacy, I'll admit I didn't really expect much out of you five years ago.

The banner gallery is now updated with every single banner f13 has ever had.

Good work schild et al. I'm glad some remnants of early MMO crazy have managed to stay huddled around the f13 community campfire :)

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Honestly.

This is something I've always wanted to do if I could make it crazy. I think this might be worth looking into. Of all the things I've wanted to do, I've wanted to turn the forums into a grindy web game.

I wish I was kidding.

Considering they were both banished by GM intervention, I wouldn't really consider that "vanquished."

Don't ask why, but I know his father's phone number...

Honestly though, I think that is a door best left closed. Lets bring back Bruce instead.
