Reporting in :thumbsup:

Vampyre, I'm sure I remember you, from many a morrowind disscusion. A true golden oldie, '01...

My profile says im new but ive been around here since morrowind. before i consolidated my usernames and password rule set, i had so many accounts everywhere i couldnt keep track. skyrim came out and i decided...no more lurking, lets create a new account....its ES time!!!!! :tes:

Om not an oldie either, but I have been here since the announcement of Skyrim

Been around since Morrowind. Pretty sure this is a "omg they just announced skyrim i cant believe it" account though. I lost track.

I'm only 28, does that still make me an oldie?

I am here, since Jan '04

I first became a member in '02 or '03. I was here pretty much every day during the last couple of months leading up to the release of Oblivion. After that, I only visited the mod forums over at Nexus.
When I came back to these boards a few weeks ago, my old account was gone. :violin: I have no idea why. Inactivity?

I've frequented these forums for around 10 years in one form or another.

My old account got deleted for inactivity but was first here in 2003.

I joined the forums in 2007, but I've been lurking since.... I don't know, sometime after Morrowind I guess.

I joined during the pre-Fallout 3 madness...but I was an Elder Scrolls fan before that, just never came around these parts. Still, I'm older than most

Also, most of you old people never seem to post, I don't recognize any of your names! Grant us your wisdom, vets!

Well, I've lurked since Morrowind but didn't join until much later. Hung out for Oblivion's coming, had all my expectations met when it released (still love it!) and now wander between here the Lore area. Mostly here at the moment.

I had been gone for a few years, but when Skyrim came close, I returned. Been a member since I got Morrowind, back in 2002, as you can see.

Hell yes, I'm 28 too...

I am an "old timer", but not a big poster until lately. I am more of a lurker, as I am in my life. I love to listen to others observations and outlook on gaming and life in general.

Personally, I've had half a dozen accounts, both within the Bethesda forums' world, and different eMail / 'net providers since I logged onto the old dial-up system they had for Daggerfall, probably four accounts with Bethesda since Morrowind. I never remember my passwords when I'm not dropping in regularly. I've used just plain Gorath, and Grumpy, and Old Grouch, and Gorath Alpha, and one other -- can't be sure, though -- Gorath Wolf, maybe.

But things were different in the early days, with most accounts having limits if you stayed online a lot, so it got very expensive to remain connected, and we all logged off after quickly scanning the message titles. There were a number of utilities for gathering up copies rapidly and answering offline, then uploading later. Before the WWW revolutionized the Internet, about 1966 or 67, one of the popular ways for Gamers to communicate was "Store and Forward" systems based in local PC bulletin board systems. FIDO was the most popular, and there were forums on there for all of the popular games of the early 1990s. I was active on FIDO, also.

Meep? ^_^


(Ready willing and able to mod the hell out of yet another TES title)

Give me back my legions VARUS!

Most of us have been staying away because the new "fans" are rabid. If you say anything at all negative about the game they go berzerk and try to chase you out of the thread. Many of us have been around since Morrowind and occasionally we see something we don't like, features that are returning that we hated in Oblivion (compass) or certain things getting axed, or the changes (or lack of big changes) between Oblivion and Skyrim (that we can see so far). If we mention any of these things, its nothing but flames. The new players, who are fans of the more casual direction the game has taken since it started to be built primarily on the console, do NOT accept different opinions, by and large.

My old account from the oblivion days was erased... I was previously UniformXII. I frequented the modding forums mostly, but I suppose I never posted too much, really. I think I made it to diviner. Regardless of all that... I do wonder about some of our veteran modders.

I always did a fair bit of modding for my own game(s). I do plan on being more active with the community this time around... Hope to see some more of the old schools

Still around. :wave:

To think, I joined way back because I was foaming over Oblivion... or was it even announced? I can't remember.

I've been wainting for this moment so long!

Do any others of you "oldies" remember this pearl Richie Truxillo posted on the forums prior to Oblivion's release?
