It's theoretical question thing time! Again!

[Ziegfried]

Yeah. So, let's say you were to leave the entire Emuparadise network - meaning forums, IRC, everything - tomorrow. You also wouldn't be able to talk to anyone you met through Emuparadise ever again, for reasons unspecified. Five or ten years from now, who would you remember?

*Nods*

[SA-X]

Hum, probably you Ziegfried, and probably Master Vivi and Winged, dont know why though. Knowitman too probably, but im not likely to remember the names, just fragments of posts which make up what i think of them. Oh, and Elmdor of course

[crusher]

Tonberry, Ed and Cyber.

[SA-X]

Oh yeh, cant forget good old Cyber, i think i would remember you too a little Crusher (maybe only because there was like 5 of you )

[Elmdor]

Hmm.....CCDART probably......

[Ifrit]

Cyberxion

[Hangman]

Tonberry, Jimton, Johnny, Dave, Dark Magician and Toto. Definatly.

[Norgus]

I am 100% certain I would remember Norgus (being him and all...)

Its hard to tell who I would remember, but likely cyber, skinner8/ziegfried, nek_ and gospel (alot of IRC'rs would be remembered).

But I dunno... 5 - 10 years and my memmory is pretty bad..

No one.
I would block the memory from my mind, for remembering EP and it's fine, fine members would only bring me horrible, horrible pain.. If I were to remember such people, I would be in constant grief, knowing I can never see their screen names, nor talk to them on a petty messenger service ever again..
It pains me to even think about such a scenerio.. I'm all alone, in the darkness of my basement somewhere in the future, laughing at somesort of crude joke made by some internet veteran.. when suddenly, an image comes to my mind.. yes, the image of what? ..the.. the image of Victory?
My mind would be blown, for just alittle while.. where was this image conceived? where.. did it come from? and my mind would suddenly know.. EP, the place where all the internet losers go and chat up a raging storm!
I would think for awhile, what has happened to my dear EP? was it taken down a number of years ago? I would type the address, if I remember the address, into the bar thing at the top of the screen.. assuming it's still on top of the screen in the future, and that I need a keyboard aswell in the future.
I would come across a "LOL NOT FOUND LOL" and I would sit there, attempting to recall what had happened there..
At first I would attempt to remember my screen name, thinking for many minutes.. what could it possibly have been? what was it!? I know it started with an S.. and it was something weird, and in a foreign language.
I would ponder over this for many a day, thinking.. who? what? when? where? .. and possibly how?
Finally, the image.. not of victory, but of justice, would be there.. strangling my mind, making me remember who it was that helped conceive of such a glorious thing, and lo, I would remember Mr. Smith- that frightful little demon from some place I can't remember at the moment, but who was justice in the making!
And a flood of memories would suddenly hit me, I would remember the wackiness of Skinner, or whatever his name was, and I would shudder at the thought of his webcam.. and my mind would wonder, I would recall Gospel and that other guy who did stuff and the other guy! I would remember that the majority of that forum was all men, aswell.. and again, I would shudder.
My mind would suddenly stop, "where were these people?" and a wave of sorrow would hit me, I would sit there.. in the darkness of my basement, my head hanging in despair.. knowing I would, and never have, seen them again on the Internet.. I would sigh and block the memory from my mind once more, never to do it again until I was truly able to conquer such a horrid sadness..

I would crawl back into the gaping maw that is the Internet.

[Cyberxion]

Wow. Makes sence, in a twisted way.

I think I'd remember alot of you people if we were talking about a week or two from now. But I have such a shitty memory that I'd can't say with any certainty who I'd remember.

EDIT: Really though, I don't think there's a person I wouldn't remember. And while a few stand out, I don't wanna come across as either an ass kisser by posting a list, or a thankless bastard for posting a list and missing someone who deserved to be on it.

[Solidus Joe]

cyberxion, ifrit, mason, masj, knowitman, zorlon, crusher, and uh.... I guess that's all I'd really remember.

I believe I would since I can recall all the friends I've ever had in my life.

EDIT: and knightofnachoes and jimmy. that's all.

[Clive]

I'd probably remember most of you, as this board dominated my free time a while back. Its the newer members whom Ive had little interaction with that I would unfortunately struggle to remember.

[Chaos]

Ziegfried, Master vivi, winged, gospel

[Gospel]

I'd remember Spectral and Kentachi.

Their names at least.

[SA-X]

OMG!!! no one is going to remember me?!?!? You gotta be kidding, fine then, be that way.

Id probably remember MasJ too, as well as Gospel and Elin
