The History Of LucasForums

With the DMUK leaving, I'm the last original representative of the old SWGB portion still alive. Except Muffin I guess.

 

Honestly, I didn't even know there was a Lucasforums when I first joined. It was the era when I still had a 28.8K modem (yeah...the dark ages). I just looked around the official site for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds to look for cheats and strategy and I fell upon these forums.

 

I hung around SWGB, along with a handful of other fanatics and we devated every day on the stupidest possible subjects, always related to the game of course. The site "died" when the Off-topic members decided to leave.

 

Of course, I also remember the months before JA came out. I was lurking around their part of the forum and was amazed at how..."macho" some members were. "I will never play a female Jaden Korr!" "Girl characters are weak!" "Testosterone!" "If I play a female character, people will think I'm gay!"

Dark ages indeed.

Too many people think im gay already without playing as a woman in a game. My house in Galaxies was once reknown as being a ****pad in the Gallo mountains as several players at a campsite saw 12 known female characters coming out of my house. They enter the house, find me sat on a plush divan, boom Herbie's a stud. Those were the days. Now im homeless. Hell... I'm Galaxyless.

I remember the days in the Cantina with lightbulba who I believe was posting from the library of an insane asylum. When they found out he was posting they drugged him and put him in a rubber rooma and he was never heard from again.

 

Also, the JPB forums and the "Un-Council" (of which I was a member).

Aye, DMUK was the awesomness, to a scale of which no one here matches to this day.

 

 

Hmm, my invitation must have been lost in the mail. :D

 

Yeah...

 

many years ago :xp:

 

That's because my 29-year-old hawtness was too much for them. ;P

Lucasforums used to be jediknight.net, roguesquadron.net, and xwingalliance.net, and the monkey island/grim forums. This was back in 98-99, then games like galactic battlegrounds, jedi outcast, starfighter, and knights of the old republic came about, and I decided, with the help of my good friends over at the rogue squadron community forum (downtime) to connect the forums all together, to make it easier for one person to post at another forum without logging out, as well as being able to track the posts they make, and I even added the avatar feature so everybody could have their own custom picture below their name, as well as having ability to customize their usertitle after 1,000 posts. :) All thanks is greatly appreciated...

 

Actually you can all thank Boba Rhett, it was mostly his inspiration that led me to spark the flames of forum merger through invasions and midnight covert operation postings...

Strange, I'm male but I usually play with a female char in JA or KotOR, because I think female chars are a bit underrated in SW, and it's just cool to see a female kick some male ass (have you noticed all the baddies in JA are male? Besides Tavion and Alora)

 

It's interesting to know how this forum got to be...

 

PS: You're all flippin' mad
