A lot of things have happened on this board, good and bad. Lets forget about the bad and work on the good. Post here something good you remember about when you first started. Or remember the people who have been here, but left. Lets take a trip down memory lane.

I remember a lot. Seeing as I've been here since the beginning. I remember when it first started,
It was Nick, then I asked to help out and he said yes. Then Emii joined up, and she wanted to help. So basically it was me, Nick and Emii. I dont think any of us had ever been admins before. I THINK. Anyways, I remember Nick had well, Nick Black. His brother was Adam, and I was Pacy. And we thought, well, Nicks good, and Adams bad, so Pacy might as well be Company. I just put him there to even it out. Then Danny joined, and then I think it was Jack. I remember RPing with the three of them I think they were like the first RP posts on the board. And I still have them in Pacys tracker thing.
Look how we have grown... There will probably be more stories from me. Hopefully more interesting ones.
I remember bringing a character I created from another site here, Zoey, a really inadapted girl with a shitload of potential.
Then remember getting here and RPing with all of y'all and then Travis got here around the same time I did, and we were like "I know who you are!"
Then I also remember other 9thers joining, cause you know, once upon a time 9th used to be cool. But the most cool of them has certainly been BG. Cause she was like "Hey, 9th blows, where are you RPGing?"
And since then she's just been amazing to the site, I think she has clones that woman, no way she can do all she does O.o.
Remember, remember the fifth of November! The gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!
It's V BISHES!
I must go watch that now.
I remember arriving and polluting the Cbox with my presence. Which some enjoyed but others clearly did not! Pacy and TP were the first people I RPed with, setting Jaina up for some villainous activity. Moon pointed me in the right direction plot-wise and Snow and I bonded over a shared love for futbol. I think I knew him five minutes before I was offering him my couch should he ever come to Ireland to visit the Guinness storehouse.

I remember being the 7th or 8th person to join Eclipse. A whole lot of things had happened but the one thing i mostly remember was the Odessa storyline where my character Jack and other Specials Heroes, Neutrals, and Company as well as civilians fought against Algernon Crowe in order stop him from turning Odessa into a wasteland.
I remember when I first joined; there weren’t many players 10 or so. I remember that I made friends and got along with the majority of the site. I remember being happy and looking forward to logging in. I was optimistic and full of ideas that I wanted to share and help make the site better. My first month people liked me enough to make me member of the month, I had never won anything like that on a site before or since. I didn’t even think I would win that first month. I was even made into a staff member right after winning. Something that I had never been offered before. I guess I felt like it was a place that would really listen to people and be really supportive. A place where you could really immerse yourself and make friends.
I did leave, and I tried to find rpg groups like this one, the way it was when I first joined. The way I was when I first joined. It was really a stroke of luck that I found this place, and met these people. So when I came back, I wanted to be a stranger again, to try to recapture the way I was when I first joined. I was so happy when people accepted me again, and liked me again. I wish to god I could be that new person that everyone liked, and then maybe I could make my friends back. This place is still a great place to go and make friends and they are still a great bunch of people that I feel lucky to have known, I just wish the same could be said about me.
I remember joining back in July 2008, during the longest summer of my life. It saved my sanity, and that is no lie. It was in a time when there were less than 10 of us, and, I swear that I was either the 5th or 6th character to join up, as me & Jack joined at around the same time. In a perfect world, I'd like to think he was signed up later than me, but he probably did beat me.
I also remember the bomb plot fondly. Last time we saw Danny Wallace as a do-gooder dedicated to being a Hero. Since then, his judgment has been flawed at best.
I remember what it was like way back when, even before we had a sidebar! AND the cbox was at the bottom of the boards. I had only tried to create a site once before and i only had like two members on that. I only chose to create eclipse because I couldn't find any other heroes sites and the one I was on before (the original eclipse) had mysteriously vanished. It was just me and my brother in the beginning, well mostly me. I did find the other original eclipsers, and sent out a plea for help with a new site. Lo and behold a mister Pacy McNeil answered that plea. Emii came and we made Eclipse happen. The original members and everything, it was great. I remeber not even opening up a thread until a month after the site officially started. times have changed and Eclipse has grown, members and plots have come and gone, hopefully we'll still be around for time to come.
I remember back in the good old days where my limited English skills made me search for rp I found this place, and attempted to join twice... First stopped by Moon I think... second time stopped by Pacy (Evil Pacy, no get cookies from me at that time)
But then i came back the third time! And ding ding ding, I was accepted, my English had finally gotten to a level that Pacy could understand And for that I will give him cookies. I also remember being the first one to attempt to steal Conall's meat... A feat so far unsurpassed by anyone But that's another story.
