Man, I remember the old days at this place...it's been years since I've been here.....

I remember joining this site when I must have been...oh...I dunno, twelve years old? Maybe eleven? I remember Ringe was 14 at the time...and I thought he (er...she) was soooo old. Now 14 seems like a little kid to me! I was in middle school then. I just recently turned 20. I'm in college now. An ivy league school and doing well for myself, but turning twenty really made me miss these old fun times I had here on DAB - one of the first communities I was ever a part of.

I checked on a whim and was shocked to see the site isn't closed. That the forums are still here. One of my biggest regrets is that the forums were on voyforums that doesn't archive all posts so I can't go back and read the good old days :(

I know nobody here remembers Rugbark (the Masterthief!) anymore. I wasn't really the biggest deal here. But I had a good time. I doubt I can even speak dibbun anymore (I totally forget how :D) I remember names and people but I'm sure they're all gone. I miss my closest friends at the time Ringe, and Cyprus.

I remember making parodies on the laughin place, and then somebody else doing it too (dont remember who) and kind of trying to make the best ones. I remember when the Treehouse forum was gone, and I wanted it back so badly I took over as forum administrator for it in intentions of keeping it as a private board (which of course never happened.) I remember when I took over Sparra Mail from Trubbly Otroot ("Its a grand old job" I believe he said to me) and then being an irresponsible kid and only sending like 1/8 of the messages on and never telling anybody until years later on another little return :D. oops!

And I remember when Cyprus had the idea to meet up with everybody from DAB in New York....when was it? 2010? Maybe. I think it probably was since I knew I was going to be at least 18. I was totally sure it was going to happen. Of course we all should have known it wouldn't but it was fun to imagine that it would have all those years later :D

Now of course, those years have gone by, and the site is only a distant memory to me, and my time as Rugbark. DAB-related items still live on in some of my passwords (no hacking my email now...:D) but I'm sure the site isn't active as it once was. The Fearsome Fiends no longer even exist! And I never actually got an account on the proboards, even though I was around for them (I think.) But when I saw my name on that loooong list in the hall of names, still etched there forever, it really really made me feel nostalgic.

I miss this site, and I know nobody knows who I am anymore (and even if they did they would know kid-me. Well...mostly dibbun-me, but even if we talked OOC :D) but I just wanted to stop in these hallowed halls and say hello :D So hi old site, and if anybody remembers me hi to them too :D

Okay two things. One, I totally didn't realize I visited here as little as two years ago, but the fact that that's still on the main page is kind of sad....and two...BRIAN JACQUES IS DEAD?! WHAT THE HECK?! When in god's name did that happen?! I just saw it on the page here I had no idea I thought he was still alive and writing......this is insane. I literally just looked it up and wikipedia and honestly cried, no kidding.....and I don't do that a lot. His books were like magic and such a good part of my middle school years where I loved them..... (NT)Rugbark23:45:00 02/15/12 Wed
God...more nostalgia. Here's the old treehouse board for you oldies. There's some spam posts in the beginning, but this board is old and the archives go back to like 2004 and have a lot of posts from the old DAB folks from all those years ago so any oldies who come by might want to nostalgia too and check out our old stuff :D www.voy.com/112251/ (NT)Rugbark23:58:05 02/15/12 Wed
Hey Rugbark! I have never talked to you, but I've heard /of/ you. I joined in 07, so just a little bit after the times most oldbies remember. :D Most here probably won't know you. A few old faces around if you look for them though. Yes, DAB is still active. Nothing like it was in the old days, but still around. Brian Jacques is dead. :( Anyway, it's good to hear from/see some older faces. (NT)Riv, DAB Ringleader14:36:54 02/16/12 Thu
Craziness...I just came back for a visit myself. I remember this place when I was just in middle school as well. I had such a good time on here. I may come back more often, but I'm quite busy. It's just awesome that it's still alive. Maybe not as bustling as before, but still here. I'm alive as well! (NT)Sunset14:37:32 02/18/12 Sat
Hey. I don't think anyone remembers me or cares, but I've decided to just fade quietly away. Things are too busy, and to be honest, I'm not as inteested in RPing as I used to be. That's all. Say hi to the others for me. (NT)Firska Firebright (mourning)18:54:36 02/29/12 Wed
Sorry to see you go, Firska. Drop by and say hi if you ever think of it. It's always good to hear from visiting oldies who share the fond memories. :) (NT)Aquamarine15:05:38 03/11/12 Sun
