Poll of the Day > 17 years later and I'm still seeing some of the same posters here

(+) Yeah! (+)

AdvertedFingers/Rotojai here. I was active from like 2005 - 2009 and god, I was so cringe.

How y'all doing?

I haven't been here in a long time either, and it's semicool seeing some of the same people.

Have your fingers gotten better or worse

I took a long hiatus and have been back for the past year or so.

The board has gotten a lot smaller but a lot of the riff raff weeded themselves out

I'm still kicking.

Hi

I recognize the name

Hey I changed my name but I remember you from back then

Heya. \o

don't recognize you, but welcome back.

Everyone was cringe between 2005 and 2009.

I don't recognize you but I didn't start posting on PotD regularly until 2009 or 2010. I mostly stayed on the Ocarina of Time and Runescape general boards before that.

I had a PotDpedia page, is that thing still around? Are any of the spin off boards still active?

Is BTB still drunk?

It's not 24/7, and he rarely ever appears here. In the past few years, I think there's been more talk of farting in his gf's face than of alcohol.

well shit i recognized rotojai

Whoa, what the Hellshark?

If you don't cringe at your past self, you probably haven't grown.

..It doesn't necessarily mean you HAVE grown, but at least you recognize the problem.

Lots of familiar usernames in this thread. Wow.

i remember your suicide lol

also i remember your name was actually rotojai

cool

'member chewbacca?

It's been a while since I've been back to potd. I don't really check gamefaqs anymore. I logged in today to see about a ps5 controller lag issue. Figured I'd stop by potd but didn't think I'd post but then I saw this thread.

I was on here everyday about 20 years ago... just some dumb kid :-p

you don't know me

y halo thar

If you're perpetually cringing on your past then you're prophesizing cringe in your future. Break the cycle.

I mostly lurk these days. Sure was wild here back in 05-10. My username hasnt changed. In fact, I insisted on keeping it back when they were trying to get long usernames to conform to the new character limit.

Most active GameFAQs board users that are still here are OGs

Doubt anyone remembers my old username asddffff around 2003-2004. It wasn't in service for long...I suicided by saying I was 12 years old (I think I was 13 at the time but had made that account when I was 11).

Also, nothing is as cringe as this flight sim review I did in 2003 at 11 years old: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/589619-microsoft-flight-simulator-2004-a-century-of-flight/reviews/60289

Goddam that was 20 years ago. I can't believe I wrote that lmaooo

Oof. I think it's just hard to rein in your enthusiasm and stay professional when you're younger. Most of us are guilty of it.

Doing good thanks, yourself?

I used to post quite a bit back in the day but now only lurk. Most of the time I was on game dedicated boards. I only remember a few names, controversies, and epic rants from then.

I remember people getting banned for the I'm 12 meme.

I used to lurk here and in a couple of other places. Some of the usernames seem familiar to me, but I can't quite tell.

Its kinda nostalgic seeing some of these usernames.

Im still here

is omgarm or chocoboslayer still around?

I'm surprised gamefaqs is even still active at all 15 years later

Same here OP. Been a long time since I've been on here. PO still here? And that dude obsessed with 7-11? And that one dude who posted sensationalized news headlines and said his girlfriend lost their baby by a frisbee or something? BTB and his Hurricane outage. That's about all I remember at the moment.

I'll update as I remember.

Oh yeah, and Funsize, who I quizzed on Metallica and he didn't know hardly anything about them despite claiming he was an expert or somesuch.

Edited: Zangulus- beard and cats? Am I remembering that right?

I also remember Melon Master IIRC. Nice dude if I remember right.

Good times.
