[*[2]Nekked*]

[*onewaysalcha*]

APRIL 2004 MEMBER 12315
you can refer to my sig too

[BIGBLACK]

Member No. 1, cuz that's what I issssssssssssss, NUMBER ONE. And if anybody says otherwise...

[Just_Dream]

Wait Trish, go to full edit for your post. Can't you change the topic title from there? I remember being able to do that.. Or wait, maybe I was only able to do that because I was a mod.. .. Hmm.. nvm lol


Hm... I think cB became Xangans in January, was it not?

Where the hell am I? College.. Yea that must be it. Used to be at work, but then I quit, so now here I am.

Wish still were true? Um... I wish the arcades were back and the scores weren't all crazzzzzy. I wish Yvonne still came around, I wish my phone party group still had phone parties (do you guys still do?). Man, I remember 7-waying, or something like that. I wish Kim was still admin... Those were the good old days. I wish that there weren't so many forum categories - sometimes it gets confusing! The cB banners were cool too, when Jusun rotated them. :P

Happy changes? The skins having tags, and members being able to save their favorites. It's a neat little system. ;x The evolution from cB1 to cB3 (we're at 3, right? I hope this isn't cB4, otherwise I feel realllllly old)

Annoying changes? - Must be the many forum categories. It does make things more organized, but at the very least, the categories don't have confusing titles, like those anime forums do! There's probably more I can add here but I'm not active enough to remember.

That's just the gist of it. Maybe I'll edit this later, if I feel like it. Eh...

EDIT - HOLY... I'm probably the only one that posted a contributing reply. Who knew?

[Rachel]

^*sigh* That's how most cB topics go nowdays.


Well, like Christina, I too am at college and miss the arcades. :( I also miss the old community. There is somewhat of a disconnect throughtout the current community that just isn't doing it for me. Everything seems so serious and whatnot, this place is intended to be fun ya'll!

Anyway, I do like the evolution of the site itself, and can't wait for cB4 to be up and running. There are also some members that make this site worth coming back to again and again.

[*kryogenix*]

User before it was called xangans.

I am currently in the state of catatonia.

I wish the good posters were still here.

I wish the peanut crew would leave or make an attempt to be better. I wish the mod leadership was better, or at least stop being deceptive.

Wait Trish, go to full edit for your post. Can't you change the topic title from there? I remember being able to do that.. Or wait, maybe I was only able to do that because I was a mod.. .. Hmm.. nvm lol

Official members/designers/promoters can also edit their own topic titles. :3

As far as the old CB goes, I haven't been around for long enough to be able to call myself a veteran.. which is strange considering that I'm coming up on having been registered for two years, and I've been a staff member since December 2005. Still, most of the people who are most remembered around the forums have been here since long before that, which is understandable.

With that said, I suppose it's true about me having nothing to contribute because if I go by the "CB SUCKED AFTER 2004" standards, I've never experienced the "good" CB. And that being the case, I suppose I have no good memories to reflect on, which makes any attempt at contribution basically worthless.

Okay.

Where the hell are you people and what are some different things about createblog from back in the day you wish were still around/true?
I'm here. Again. I quit for a whiiile.
cB is pretty much the same except some different members. I don't talk to anyone from GenF as much as I used to. Which I kind of miss. I wish some people were still active. shrug*

What are some changes that you are happy to see in createblog? Um... I think the people are a lot more open to outsiders.

What are some changes that annoy you? Nothing :)

[misoshiru]

I have to admit, I'm a bit to surprised to see Trish back. I remember you saying that you were never going to come on here again.

Where the hell are you people and what are some different things about createblog from back in the day you wish were still around/true?
I'm now almost done with my freshman year of college. I loved the community feeling back then, and the people. Of course, the loss of older members can't be helped, but I feel that the feeling of the close-knit community is disintegrating and that makes me sad. OH and how a lot of them said, the arcades

What are some changes that you are happy to see in createblog?
The tags, the well-organized forums

What are some changes that annoy you?
Nothing major.

[Saeglopur]

Man, I remember 7-waying, or something like that.

I REMEMBER THAT! Haha, I miss that too!

Hi Trish. It's me, K1m! Haha. Hi. :3

I'm still here in Jersey, unfortunately... I'll be out of this hellhole soon. ( If only soon would come SOONER. >;[ )

But yeah. I miss how I used to know everybody. Now I hardly know anybody.

But what I like though are ... well, just the interest section that's been added too... Yeah that's pretty much it.

[dahding]

What are some changes that annoy you?

as for where am i, i'm graduating high school in a few months and will be going to SUNY Buffalo to major in architecture.

what has changed? mods changed, i miss the old mods, they were a lot better. the people in the chatroom changed a lot. i miss the old chatroom people. a lot of old members left/barely go on cb anymore. everyone's not as closeknit as they used to be. it's a lot more spaced out now.

good changes? much more organized forums, tags, new people.
annoying changes? nothing in general really. just how a lot of people who go on cb now are younger, and they tend to be real pricks when it comes to spamming.

I miss you!

and Cliff. Although, I did see him at the Galleria once. hahahahahah

[dahding]

miss u too mishyy. <3

[SarahxJoy]

WHERE? I'm never on as long as I used to be. I've been busting my arse this year in school (11th grade) and am out a lot more I suppose. Busy, busy.

I MISS... the arcade too, like some of the other members have mentioned. I remember when I came back after half a month's absence and saw that it was gone. I also miss the actual forum game topics, where it's more than just posting to reach a certain page. It was fun in the beginning with that one, but now it's just spam. IMO, anyway.

GOOD CHANGES? The growth of CB and the new forums and all that. Pretty nice.

[moorepocket]

i think cb is now more organized than before. It's easy to look for things now. More forums were added. We expand out resources, and more people are contributing.

[misoshiru]

miss u too mishyy. <3

dustin! i miss you, and ariel.

[dahding]

yanners! <3 facebook = excellence. talk to me sometimeee.

[*stephinika*]

Yeah, I've been here awhile too I guess.

But anyways, I used to be a lot more active, as I certainly am not now...I still come on a lot but I'm not as active when it comes to posting and everything like I used to. I miss a lot of the older members too that I used to talk to more...

The topics seem to have changed too but oh well. I like the upgrades and whatnot around the site though.

I can't believe I've been here since 2004 and it's 2007. Haha...it seems so long ago now!

[Mireh]

hurr.

what do i find most annoying?: some of these new mods' nazi-like behavior. And the superior complexes of some members. I remember when CB used to be a lot more friendly.

[*Azarel*]

mods changed, i miss the old mods, they were a lot better. the people in the chatroom changed a lot. i miss the old chatroom people. a lot of old members left/barely go on cb anymore. everyone's not as closeknit as they used to be.

.. butthole.

Can't be bothered to list what has changed, but simply put: a lot.

[minioligo]

march (or was it april?) '04 :) obviously not with this username, though.
i went from i_am_shoe > jooleeah.

good times. i'll fill out the questions when i have time and don't procrastinate.

[Gypsy Eyes]

hurr.

what do i find most annoying?: some of these new mods' nazi-like behavior. And the superior complexes of some members. I remember when CB used to be a lot more friendly.

I agree. Everyone was always really nice and welcoming. Not so much anymore.

The CBC went bad too, it used to be so much fun in there (summer '04? wow I feel old). Again, not so much anymore.

[misoshiru]

I never went on CBC because I never found the appeal of AIM. :(

[SKDMNLE]

I'll edit this after I see when I joined.

I posted on GenF like a month ago. This is Andrea by the way. =]

Where the hell are you people and what are some different things about createblog from back in the day you wish were still around/true?
Most people are saying they're in college now...but here I am, in 8th grade. How pathetic. So that makes me a member since..2003. Not with this account, obviously. I was never a real poster here anyways, so not many people know I even exist. I think I miss the old members too. Oh yeah, then the old cb chat. I learned MANY thing in there.

What are some changes that you are happy to see in createblog?
As much as I miss the old members, it's good to see some new faces around here. I like the new way of showcasing the layouts and what not too.

What are some changes that annoy you?
Spamming is getting kinda bad here. I'm not sure about bashing, but that was a big deal last year. Eh, that's about it. I don't post much anyways, so it doesn't really matter to me.

[misoshiru]

OMG ANDREA.


what's the link to genf again? i can't find it.

[Mireh]

theres CB generations?

[SarahxJoy]

I can't believe I've been here since 2004 and it's 2007. Haha...it seems so long ago now!

Same here, though I kind of wish I was more active in the beginning. Or something.
There are so many new people and whatnot, I kinda' feel left out.

[dahding]

^^same here. i feel like a new member all of a sudden...

[misoshiru]

theres CB generations?

No, Generation Forums, is something Ariel created...2005 I believe? There were just a few of us, and we were "the cool kids" hahah.

[*[2]Nekked*]

i dont even know some of you. the people i'd consider real veterans that have posted here are kyro and christina. and POSSIBLY tainted and steph.

[HakunaMatata]

Not even Yanlin?

Aw, I remember GenF. I was active for maybe a week or 2.

I probably wouldn't be considered a Veteran. Oh well.
I've been here since 2004, thats all that matters. hahahaha

[Just_Dream]

Man I remember there was a thread about what we missed from cB a while back... I think it was during the time when cB2 was launched? Can't remember, but I remember posting in it. :P

Val, you're like, THE VETERAN in this thread, besides Jame (kryo). YOU were a mod before me! <3

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ I remember seeing you somewhat.

Yeah! Because we were "teh cool kids".

[*disco infiltrator*]

Do I count even though I'm not on my old username?

[*Podomaht*]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the mod leadership is lacking, and we need moderators who aren't cocks.

Other than that, where's jjajeeng, mireh, micron, krnxswat, eunice, blah blah?

[*kryogenix*]

micron is living it up

jjajeeng quit a while ago

mireh was here yesterday

krnxswat got banned

youngeun quit

gina quit

etc.

[*Podomaht*]

damn, i bet micron is living it up. jesus christ.

krnxswat deleted my other acc so now i haz a n00b acc.

i think i'll call up jjajeeng, last time i talked to her she was going out of country or something.

[phoenixpyre]

i believe i made my first account the month AFTER cb was made... does that count?

[*Podomaht*]

i believe i made my first account the month AFTER cb was made... does that count?

No. Get out.

[*kryogenix*]

unless someone unregistered/banned you, why would you make a new account?

[*Podomaht*]

unless someone unregistered/banned you, why would you make a new account?

krnxswat deleted it on accident or whatever, so he remade it again.

i don't even know.

i think it was after i stepped down from being a moderator he accidentally banned me.

[*kryogenix*]

krnxswat deleted it on accident or whatever, so he remade it again.

i don't even know.

yeah i know, i was talking about all the other people

[phoenixpyre]

unless someone unregistered/banned you, why would you make a new account?

oh

goddamn

lmao my first account's sn was so noob-like, and when i decided i hated it, there was a STRICT no sn change rule in effect

[Mireh]

why did seon ho get banned?

podomaht: wow it's been a looooooooonnnnnnngggg time.

[*kryogenix*]

why did seon ho get banned?

podomaht: wow it's been a looooooooonnnnnnngggg time.

he didn't like how some people looked in personal pictures, people complained because he was being honest that they weren't good looking, mods took action, and it escalated from there until he got banned.

[phoenixpyre]

I'm a veteran wanna-be i guess ah well


THIS IS SPARTA

[*Podomaht*]

why did seon ho get banned?

podomaht: wow it's been a looooooooonnnnnnngggg time.

don't mind me, i'm being a jerk at the moment.

[Mireh]

he didn't like how some people looked in personal pictures, people complained because he was being honest that they weren't good looking, mods took action, and it escalated from there until he got banned.

what a shame. that kid WAS cb.

[*kryogenix*]

it was funny too, because the community in general supported his honesty, but when they got made fun of, it was suddenly not acceptable anymore.

talk about hypocrisy.

[*Podomaht*]

We should throw some D's on that bitch.

[fameONE]

I joined in January of 2005 and lurked for a few months before that, I guess I don't count.

[*Podomaht*]

Do you honestly believe that's why Seon Ho got banned?

Get out.

[*I Viddy Horrorshow*]

Do you honestly believe that's why Seon Ho got banned?

Suzzette, why even invite it?

[KissMe2408]

ya know who i miss these days. . . Gigi and Teesa

[*kryogenix*]

Do you honestly believe that's why Seon Ho got banned?

That's pretty much how it started.

PS you still haven't banned him

[Mireh]

Do you honestly believe that's why Seon Ho got banned?

then why did he?

[*kryogenix*]

The best part is, it wouldn't have gotten that far if you guys didn't get offended at the small stuff. You made the problem worse. That was the last recourse for him. You asked for a reason to ban him and he gave it to you.

[*kryogenix*]

Well, I think the "removal" of seon ho was an annoying change.

Let's talk about it.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ I think that's been discussed enough.

(Jan 2004 Member #:1,806)

I'm sad that cB isn't about Xanga as much as it used too. After all, cB was born from interest in xanga.

Obviously it hasn't if there are still questions.

Me too. No one really wants help in the Xanga area as much as they used too. Now everyone is into myspace I guess.

I lurked around in the Summer of 04, then I finally joined in February of 05.

Obviously it hasn't if there are still questions.

But this topic isn't about Seon Ho now is it? And like Rachael said, it's been discussed enough already.

[*kryogenix*]

We're talking about annoying changes here. That was an annoying change.

[misoshiru]

They should start trying to hack into facebook.

hi andrea. i posted.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

well i joined at 2005 but im not a hardcore blogger through this . i feel the scene though . cb isn`t as thrilling as before during the 2004 and 2005 with the fights and the much more interesting stimulating conversations , the drama , etc . i guess there is drama still going on but i believe it got back its reputation in 2007 with the new members .

[misoshiru]

^ That would be hilarious!

Imagine facebook layouts.

[Just_Dream]

Other than that, where's jjajeeng, mireh, micron, krnxswat, eunice, blah blah?

About them..

A more thorough explanation from James' post:

jjajeeng - Grace was busy with school and I guess she just never came back. But I see her on aim occasionally.

Mireh - she's here. I see Val in Interests > Fashion quite a bit.

Micron - Don't know if he told you guys, but he said he was working on something big. The last personal contact I had with him was like, sometime last summer. I miss him. :/ I'm guessing he pops up back stage every now and then?

Seon Ho - Facebook. 'nuff said.

Eunice - I swear, I saw her on the anime forum sometime last year. Was it the Nana thread? Ah I forget. She made a thread though.

GinaDaQueen - She goes to Cornell. The reason she left was because of school. I saw her on aim a few times as well. I see her more than jjajeeng.

Lookitskim Kim Sr. - I see her on myspace. Last I talked to her was sometime last year. She has a new job, but I forgot what it was. I think I was the only one that was close to her besides Yvonne.

tofumonzter - ah gosh, Don't even know what happened to him. I remember I WAS THE ONE who demodded him. So sad, but I had to do it.

nas - I'm not even sure what happened to her. :/

There were others I forgot their usernames but if anyone else wants detailed explanations, maybe I'll put more up.


Wow, if the original moderating team from back in February 2004 actually reunited, it might be a little shocking. Just like if Sechskies (Jekkies) reunited. Possible, but shocking. I think at that time there was only about 15 of us at most, including Jusun.

[*kryogenix*]

nas is alive and kickin. saw her a month ago at a party.

I talked to tofu last month as well. He was actually considering reapplying for staff along with myself and mipadi.

[Just_Dream]

?! I miss Long. T_T I remember calling him one and he hardly talked, even though we were like, buddies on cB! I assumed that he partially was inactive because of all the drama at that time. He was also busy with school. Man, then things I know...

How is nas? Oh yea that's right, you and Seon Ho and went to school together. :D


I'm kind of glad that facebook doesn't have layouts. AUGH the horror I have to go through whenever I log on myspace and it would lag my compy I can't read the text sometimes. Although, there are the cool ones with awesome layouts on them. eep don't hurt me.

[lovescream]

yaay.. i joined in 04.
And holy crap, I just realized that steph has a buttload of posts. >.<

Man, throughout the time I was browsing, I was wondering how people's accounts were deleted. x_x;

Yea well, at least you have more than me. I joined earlier and you would think that I would have more, despite my long leave of absence/hiatus/death.......

I wonder if Jusun goes backstage at all anymore.. Hm...

[*Azarel*]

He's on once in a while.

[*[2]Nekked*]

has anyone heard from nerdish and tal_dara?



Ok who here is a veteren MOD? Meaning, if you were a mod before or WHILE CB2 was in development.

I wassss. Those were the days, man. Back then the staff was actually exclusive to people who were helpful.

[Mireh]

nas is alive and kickin. saw her a month ago at a party.

wtf i tried to add long on myspace and he DECLINED.

whatever happened to nick (waccoon) and jackie (f00LisH_h3aRt63)

<-- vet mod.

its sad going on the boards now because i literally know NOBODY, and vice versa

[*kryogenix*]

nerdish and tal_dara were awesome. tal_dara said he was too busy one day and left, I have no idea where nerdish went.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Uhh..again, me! :D Started out as Design Staff. Back when I was good at designing. Haha.

[*Libertie*]

its sad going on the boards now because i literally know NOBODY, and vice versa

Actually, whether you remember me or not, I do know who you are. :P

It's like this if I go away for a few weeks or my activity drops even the slightest bit over a couple of months - when I'm back in full swing, I feel out of the loop and need to get settled back in. It's awkward feeling out of place when you haven't been around for a while, but to be fair, those who weren't around when you were an active member of the community feel awkward when they come across topics like this. Then again, it could be just me feeling like that, so maybe I shouldn't speak for the rest of the community.

Anyway, I've heard a lot about many of you and even gotten to know a couple, so I can see why the "old times" for this community are looked back upon as being so great. My problem is that if we keep comparing it to the past, we're pretty much gonna be stuck there, and nobody will ever be satisfied with the community. I dunno, again, not my place.
