The shadows of those who came before.

[Ghvinge_Nvda]

Shadows are before us friends. Great men and women whom once stood tall and proud with deck of power. Now but an empty shell words on their post the only evidence that these heros did once exist. In the year 2012 many people had chosen darkness and stood proud before we were battered and broken by war and role play and fancy forum posts. And so i ask you this for those accounts who have drifted people who have quit or been removed from our place what happens to their accounts? how many of these people are still alive and just never came back? and even more the post that were useful to people in many ways from battle to personal trial can we find such post within these archives and perhaps piece these together in the elements player archives in a way that show the greatest moments from nearly every thread even if we cant highlight every topic or even the entirety of said topics.

Ooh, a story? We have a literary arts board for it, if it is. Otherwise, cool, good job:)

Well no not a story not really was more talking about cleaning of the forums old post and members who either quit, died, or just were never heard from and highlighting very useful posts that these legendary members gave to us before they left and making an archives of post for former players like a hall of fame so to speak.

I see, interesting. If I'm not mistaken though, admins wont delete members, and I'd have to disagree with getting rid of old posts, because it's all part of the history of the forum, that and people enjoy going back to these things every so often to reflect or share memories. I like your idea, but I don't really see it ^^"

[Ghvinge_Nvda]

hmmmmm true true well this is just the stage one of my thoughts and i would agree with you on that it wouldnt be very nice to delete i still have my old account most people know me as cisco but if it were to be deleted idk how i would feel but still i might see about using quotes from these members to create the hall of fame thread......

As one of the old voices referenced:

There is too much wisdom in these pages for you to be able to condense it into one hall of fame. Consider the words of the past not as empty shells devoid of the speaker, but instead as seeds or paintings gifted to the forum we have all shared at one point or another. A pearl of wisdom, like all pearls, is a treasure independent from its creator.

I do agree that these are vast pages full of wisdom friends but allow me to explain it like this.Lets say i am a brand new player to forums i find a thread well go with introduce your self or even the card nerf / buff i personally would not think to go through older pages to find things from years past i would only consider looking at newer posts and i wouldnt pay attention to cards that are now nerfed/ buffed already but ones that concern cards that are currently being focused on. Its my idea to choose quotes or short topics from years before myself and have those highlighted of course it would have to be very useful and specific to what that person has given to the community. For example the darkness thread had not been posted in since my last account cisco had posted for those who remember me i started the sith role playing and was very young then. Here i am years later rejoinging Elements and i see that that there were no newer posts since three to four years ago. What of the first masters? the first wars? what about before the buffs and nerfs these are a larger part of Elements history my idea is to bring it back to the top so newer people can learn and experience these times and older members can relive great times

ScaredGirl was a huge presence in the community back in the day.  Very helpful and friendly poster (an Admin as well, IIRC), cool avatar, came up with decks that became the must-have decks for everybody.  Then one day, she simply disappeared.  As far as I know, nobody has a clue what happened to her.  Hope she's okay.

There also used to be this guy called Zanzarino who was connected to this game who seems to have been AWOL for quite a long time.

Are their disappearance related to each other?
