Ah, yes... the good old days.
As I remember, there was a lot of in-fighting among the regulars and another FReeper who did not care for our sense of humor. Then came the great banning.
I still keep up with some of the old crew on FB. I do miss the old days, but you are doing a great job of keeping the OFST alive. I just wish I had more time to play.
Ah, now THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about !!!
THAT is the OFST ‘era’ that got me hooked.
I DO remember guerrilla wars with the Mods and certain prissy, humorless, decidedly UN-silly folks who couldn’t stay away or simply MYOB when the OFST lamp was lit. Then, there were the test pilots whose whole mission is life was always to push ( through ? ) the outside of the envelope ...
Perhaps this Noob wasn’t aware of the ‘Great Banning’ as an explicit event, but I saw many of the worst UN-sillies did go away for one reason or another. Unfortunately, some really BOSS Sillies drifted away, too, for one reason or another.
Todays OFST seems to have taken a more pronounced ‘silly walk’ than I have come to expect recently. A small step but perhaps, over time, we can figure out how to ‘pump up the volume’.
Cowbell, anyone ?
