I banned (for lols) Aaron (The Man) from our site about two weeks ago, he still hasn't come back. Think he's taken the hump.

Exactly how do you know LastFF?

Wait, is that an archive of an archive? Crazy. Sadly, the BetaFF news piece on Aura seems to be missing. Shame.

I don't know lastFF, I just know this because I used to belong to FFAlpha and FFBeta.

I thought those articles were gone for good.

Aaron stole a load of databases, which included ours, which included those two.

I don't remember 90% of this...
and I'm unsure about the other 10.

not time well spent.

One of the stories about FFInsider (which is now my main posting forum) went into a full blown scandal. It was hilarious.

It was kind of a one note joke, it wasn't all that great to begin with and stemed from our old 'raids' on other forums just to get a reaction and troll, the idea of making a site totally about this was kinda doomed to failure from the get go.

It literally could only work if the person responded like a fucking dipshit and didn't notice the fact they where totally making shit up.

Like the story they did on us, shit, cause we didn't care.

I kinda liked our one because he took something I said and totally took it out of context in a way I really wasn't expecting. And it was just about the only one that wasn't some gay porn scandal.

It's good memories but I don't find them particularly funny.

As Chewi said, the stories themselves weren't particularly funny, it was the reactions caused because, yes, a lot of those people completely freaked out, threated us with non existent lawyers, and it was just overall a good time... I was never under any impression that anyone enjoyed reading that stuff outside of those of us writing it, and those who it was written about.

Most FF sites in general were doomed to failure anyway. That whole little forum culture is quite dead. Even this site isn't about FF anymore. People grew up and moved on. I used to love those games, but i can't say I've touched one in like 5 years.... which coincided with my PS2 kicking the bucket and me not bothering to replace it.

Though admit to googling BetaFF from time to time, and i must say I'm touched every few months to still find people talking about it :D I can only hope that years after I stop doing internet radio people still talk about that too.

One that didn't actually die. Hilarious that Garamond recently was banned from there. For spamming, of course.
