Chao Island nostalgia
Chao Island nostalgia
I've been on this site and its various iterations (on and off) since 2003-2004 I think. That's 13-14 years? Crazy to think about... Back "in my day" the big users were Me (duh), Mooncow, Fusion, Torro, Russian Chao Lover, Shining Chaos Chao, Uber Chaos Chao (this was a popular honorific) and then a few years later came Ghost the Chao, Blade Sayain who became Blade Genexis etc, among others
I don't really post a lot these days but I still come back from time to time to check things out. This site sort of started my interest in forums and stuff like that, way back before the internet was mainstream and everybody used social media. I don't think I even used myspace or anything until 2006-2007. Back when everyone used AIM and MSN instead of facebook and steam (granted I think steam is one of the few good things to come from the new internet). I mainly used chao island, some phpBB zelda forum that I can't find anymore, GameFAQs, and some others. CI and Gamefaqs were probably my most used back in those days. I was in middle school (7th or 8th grade) when I first started using this site, now I'm a few years out of college and working a career in web security. Crazy how fast things go by.
The internet is boring these days and I'm old.
I'm not really sure what the point of this topic is other than saying hi. share your chao island nostalgia here and post about stuff.

Re: Chao Island nostalgia
It's strange to think that I was still a kid when I first joined CI. All the friends I made here have all grown up, and I grew up alongside them. I honestly think my life today would be very different if it wasn't for CI. I don't claim to have seen eye to eye with every aspect of this website, but I won't deny that I have very fond memories of this place.
Re: Chao Island nostalgia
so many memories of sitting up all night in the chatbox on the wii browser lmao

CI was the reason i stayed up after midnight and i'm just now fixing it 4 years later
Re: Chao Island nostalgia
Honestly the nostalgia makes me wonder how I had so much free time compared to now. Maybe I was just better at time management. I'm not really sure.
Also remember all the people that have come and gone. But that's a different thread.

Why did I not see that coming when I saw the topic title?Nano wrote:Remember that one time Crazo stole Torro's car?

rainbow force was some 2011 ride
would start it up again but my ideas for it involve me having server space with mysql databases and servlet pages for automatic color/title buying transactions based on a fictional currency
a year or two from now i should have it started, waiting to finish my current degree and then get a job so i can afford server space and domain names

I'd delete everything I ever wrote here if I could, but I know you and eboy like looking at our history here so all I can do is funpost harder.

If you shot me you'd have a good 85% chance of hitting my eyes, since they're 85% of my face, and I'd be the new Jeff.
Re: Chao Island nostalgia
I also miss how every thread wasn't derailed by the same two people (neither of which is Triert) trying to make dumb jokes.

Re: Chao Island nostalgia
I am curious, are there any notable older users that were banned then unbanned, like Twili, that just haven't come back? Even BUSHNAK popped in every now and then.
