Greetings.
This is weird and I'm not sure of the timeline but I have no memories of Tendo City or Ramble City. Please bare with me, because I might be going senile but I remember a Blast City and Random City which seems to be an alternate Sega variant.
According to my fuzzy memory it started for me when I was checking out virtuafighter.com and discovering the Blast City forums owned by Ice-9. That grew to be a wonderful place of general gaming forums. I was mostly a lurker, until Ice-9 decided to shut down those forums. Luckily for most of the users there was another set of forums setup by another member of the forums. I want to say that the guy who set up the new forums name was Jared(?) but my memories fail me. And that's where we gathered just talking about random things, honestly it was a awesome time and some of the best online gaming community experiences I've had were during those years. I've never really found another online community like it.
User names I think I can recall...
Jared(maybe?) who owned the forums
Anais Nin/Abstractica/Anafaery who was the main moderator
Imashroom
DCwhizz (was he a troll or not? I guess we'll never know)
Mustafa
AnimeJoe
Cyrus
Armory
Welltall
Qoxvii (spelling?)
Demona
Kitten or kitty something
Dirty Sanchez
I did continue to play games with some these players during and after the forums went down I'm sure. I played with Abstractica, Armory and Cyrus on the Dreamcast Quake III and PSO and they even helped me start in WoW afterwards. But social media wasn't really a thing and I was pretty gaurded as far as getting too close to anyone, which is my own fault. Regrettably I lost contact with them as one by one people moved on from the games we were playing for various reasons.
Do these names ring a bell? Am I in the right place? or did I stumble into a parallel universe? However, if these names jog any memories I would love to have updates of where the "children of the city" ended up. I know some left for Console City which seems defunct now as well.
How embararssing would it be if I just stumbled into coincidence and everyone here has no clue of what I'm talking about. Btw, this is the thread that brought me here. It's the only "hit" I've ever found that had names I recognized. https://www.tendocity.net/showthread.php...&pid=96693
It seems weird to say considering I only really knew people by their online usernames with only a few exceptions, but I hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times.
