HP Drama and Nostalgia

[deralte]

You know you've been out of a fandom too long when you can look at this fictionalley thread and feel nostalgic. Of course, the thread also makes me feel really old since this girl keeps pointing out how much of an 'oldie' she is, when she registered over eight months after me. Her fixtation on post count is hilarious though. I probably shouldn't even mention that I hadn't noticed the site had been changed over to a new format or that there were new icons available etc...

Even more nostalgic was looking through the 'Help! I'm Looking for...' forum. Time was I used to know a fic for nearly every request there and I had to hand type the url of each one of them after walking seven miles uphill, through the snow, to find an internet connection. Now, I'm just pleased to see that Uric is still being recced. *smiles happily at friendslist*

I love the fact that actual oldbies (some who have been around since FA was founded or before) are being put down because they don't have a high enough post count. Heck, I doubt if my post count is even high enough to get me on that thread. *snorts*

Aeryn is such a pain in the butt. But so fun to laugh at.

Man, I look at that thread and remember why I'm not nostalgic. Hmmm. *wry gryn* Though what I'd really love is a section of FA where you get all of an authors' fics listed on one page, instead of having to hop from house to house.

Oh lordy. How clueless can some people be?

I'd be tempted to flaunt my oldbie status to this doof, but I seem to have a) forgotten my FAP password and b) forgot what email I signed up for it with.

Most of my postcount came from the ezBoard, which is scary in itself...

(there's icons? ...which shows you how much I've been over there in the past 3 years)
