Nostalgia moment

Post by bloodbane » Wed Jan 25, 2017 3:03 pm

I was having a nostalgia moment and ran across this copy of the BBA clan roster from July of '07! Where has the time gone?!?!
I know a lot of the folks on here are gone but some are still members or on the forums occasionally. Just wanted to post this up so folks can share stories, memories, etc. Maybe something to share from '07, maybe something about one of the folks on the roster, whatever works!

For me, I remember '07 as the year I joined BBA. I had just got my 1st house and dog. I still have the house, the dog passed away last month (RIP Benny. Those of you who were on TS should remember his bark and howl!) , I've since added a wife, and most recently a baby. While I still love ET & ET:QW and do not believe there has been a game with better play released. I just don't have the play time anymore. I do 99% administrative work to keep the clan up and going and an occasional 1% of play.
All that aside, I do miss spending time in game and on TS with my BBA pals.

I would invite any of my BBA friends (old or new) and acquaintances to zip me an email or add me on Facebook.

I recognize every name on that list and see a handful missing from earlier times. I keep finding that my BBA timeline in memory is extremely fuzzy. I watched a lot of names come and go over the years which played a role in my lack of interest in joining or being a "community member." Through several different games, lots of different clans and even more pub servers, I'd been through a lot of online friends dropping off the face of the earth and I wasn't too interested in adding more to the list. Somewhere along the way though BBA kind of forcefully adopted me and I didn't realize it until it was too late.

07 was I guess the start of a series of life changing years, or perhaps just growing up. I never would have guessed that a simple IM conversation with Bloodbane would spark a friendship that has lasted roughly 10 years now.

Member since 2008 on the ETQW side. It was quite lonely on that front for while. But I've made a few friends and recruited a few members since. We keeping it going!

Hard to believe but I remember when ETQW would be almost empty in the US evening hours and our ET servers would have 100 people on them between the 2 servers. How the tables have turned!

Hard to believe we had 3 full servers with overflow and wait times. I miss NQ! lol
I still have bunch of roster lists, recruiting lists, emails etc. that I run across every once in awhile and check out. Brings back a lot of memories. Getting to play with Lt. Mack, Mutt, TJ Hooker, Venze and now Bohack in the last week has really brought back a ton of memories too! Great to see some of you!

No doubt... Great to see the clan active again! I was bummed at the beginning of the fall when there were bots and a few real players. I was glad to see a fire team again! ET Legacy rocks, if you haven't downloaded it already, https://www.etlegacy.com/ So much easier than the old install.

I dug around in the old files on the computer and came across this list which based on the date of the file is from February, 2009. I think it is a little older than that however. Some good times and I too remember the days of waiting to get on and multiple servers. The gameplay was insane!!!!! :hail: :wave: :insane:

I have to agree with Mono about striking up conversations. I started chatting in Teamspeak or whatever it was we used in the early days and have been friends with Elite Digger ever since. I think we figure it's about 10 years now. Crazy!

Hi :wave:

The community we had in BBA was something special and it seems to be preferable to what outside is ten years later. I really do miss the intense action, challenging game play (your skills), the light hearted and welcoming friends we were and of course KrispyKriter :wtg:

How are you all doing?

... Those were the days.

(what's with the join dates 1970? don't change it, it's funny... my new cheap phone to take pictures of the network inciting me also had a default date of Jan. 1 1970) Weird.
