digl Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Right after it was canned I posted something that gave me some problems with the mods... sorry again for that thread I started, I was immature back then, and really angry and pissed of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I think I kept my cool pretty well when the announcement was made. I found out the day after they let us know, Nov. 22, which was my birthday. Very annoying. I'd still enjoy going back and reading our responses in the forums, especially everyone who vowed to never buy another LEC game. BTW, who here has that Crotch Shot pic from UT? That was funny as hell. Star Wars Gamers killed LucasArts. LucasArts will never have children. Or somehting like that. That was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 [copy url, open new browser window, paste in address bar] http://www.geocities.com/starwarsgamer/crotchblastlucasarts.jpg better view it quick before my geo****ties bandwidth gets sucked up. I also have a shot of the forums the day they canceled Obi-Wan- however- it doesn't exactly represent either LEC or our proudest moment, so I'm not sure if I should post it. Besides this is a happy thread right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Haha, I love that pic. You can save yourself some trouble by dragging the link into your address bar, that should work. And yeah, I'm pretty sure it was pretty ugly that first week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 The Pokemon thing was a joke, but because I don't use smilies since they're the equivilent of girls dotting their i's with little hearts, I should have mentioned that it was a joke. Oh well, at last some people found it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 man, i been thinking, that web archive must take up a lotta space, i'd love to have those servers dropped (well, set) on my door step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 The forum contents WEREN'T saved ufortunetely. I tried to get them saved for a rainy day, but it wasn't to be I'm afraid. Btw, wasn't the Galactic Plumberman eulogy posted on some virtual eulogy website? I remember that..... Ahhh.... that's a little piece of history that. I remeber wandering into that place not knowing anyone.. fun days. By the way....... do you all remeber that big argument we had with that gundamwing site about flogging our site design, and we were so sure they had, but then we learned out site design (like theirs) had been made by a professional web site design making site. Fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 lol thats a great pic Krayt I remember that The pic had been bought by both sites, but they edited it terribly!It was crap compared to the owk.net one [edit]here they are!

wardz Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I remember on April 1st I managed to trick several of you that JediKnightII had been announced. How I laughed.. I remember the last post we all gave, saying goodbye. I could swear Zero said it didn't matter because he had archived them. I am sure. Perhaps my mind is playing tricks with me..... anyway, back to self imposed exile.... wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Actually, I thought Z said he'd archived the forums as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Well Zero, did you? =) Heh, there sure are some memories in this thread. Gotta love that Crotchshot pic. That also reminds me of the OWK.Net Championships. Hopefully we'll get that one started again when JKII finally comes out. digl, didn't we all e-mail those guys about stealing the OWK.Net design? I remember it caused quite a fuzz on the forums at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternity Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 LOL, the most recent news post from gundamwing.org: "This is an IMPORTANT clarification on the status of GundamWing.ORG. GW.ORG had recently been accused of copying the graphics from a different site. I had gone ahead to checked out the site and yes indeed, we DO have the same interface graphics. However, I can rightfully say that the graphics for GundamWing.ORG was NOT copied or ripped off from that site as the graphics was obtained from http://www.eyewire.com (formerly known as NavWorks). I had paid a fee toward Eyewire in order to be able to use the graphics for designing GundamWing.ORG. For anyone who wanted proof, you can go to the URL: http://www.eyewire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/View.woa/wa/viewProduct?product=228950 and see for yourself that the graphics for GundamWing.ORG (as well as many other great interface layout) can be obtained from Eyewire.com provided that you pay a fee."

OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I really hope he archived them. I'd love to go back and read some of it. And yes, I remember us all getting mad about them "stealing" the graphics, but turns out both sites bought it from some web designer or something.

Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Yes, I do remember the gundamwing thing, for it 'twas I who spearheaded that operation against them after seeing a link to their site on TFN's forums. I pushed that thing far after I was assured by higher-ups that a graphic artist was brought in to make it for us. As things pressed on we were forced to look more closely at this supposed 'artist' who had done a graphic just for owk.net. The fact that they did such a hackjob on their 'version' originally made things much worse then they would have been, had their final version been as professional as the original artists'. It was all very suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbuckeye21 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Heh hey... someone should find the infamous post by Darth Lunatic (I think) that talked about him putting Simon Jeffery's head on a spear. Wow, some people got ticked alright! Oh, and who coined "Force Long Post"? I know it happened somewhere close to Kurgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Force Long Post originally involved a comment (don't remember from who) regarding the lengthyness and effectiveness of Kurgan's posts. It was eventually used to describe the action of anyone posting a really long message, and since I probably have done more of those than anyone on JKII.Net since its birth, I've taken the title up as my own. I would be honored, however, to share that title with Kurgan. He still has it. I'm a self-proclaimed Force Long Post Master, but plenty of other people are strong in that particular Force power. The difference is that I, above all, specialize in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
