Lance Masayoshi Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Pretty much the same only louder. Less discussions about peoples hatred of Shadow Dragon, Binding Blade and Micaiah We got more cool people. We got more people who irritate the living hell out of me. ^This. I was lurking around the good time when Serenes was still a good place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) it was less awful also people maybe had better spelling and grammar. Edited March 16, 2014 by Jack Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 it was less awful also people maybe had good spelling and grammar. They also used capital letters! Unless your name was dondon of course! Generally quieter with fewer animoo teenagers, kids these days and their new fangled moonspeak attempts. Back in my day, they tried harder and actually learned the language for their fictional dancing wives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Awakening basically amplified (as in, made louder) everything that could be considered "the essence of sf," and brought a wash of new faces alongside, additionally swelling the number of people of a certain set of tastes which was already well-represented Shit's basically the same as it ever was. More or less. This forum's userbase was always weeb, but the levels of weeb just got...amplified. This is the best answer. Back in my day, it was tiering wars and whatnot. *points and laughs* YES! The tiering wars....oh gods the tiering wars.... I've heard FE7 (actually, Elibe as a whole) was downright nasty for shipping wars. Can anybody confirm this? Yeah but this wasnt just an SF thing. The Elibian Shipping Wars were a HUGE thing in the fandom around the time i joined the online fandom. (so about around 2005 or so) When i joined SF, it was the Tellius Shipping Wars. Omg. I actually like SF better now. More variety and most of the nonsense is contained in the Awakening board anyway. Theres been some really great newblets. And the veteran members arent 16 anymore. This is nice. Edited March 16, 2014 by Loki Laufeyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Non-LA drafts were better. I don't know if Awakening killed them, or they just died out due to inactivity naturally, or the novelty simply wore off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Try FE9/10. FE10, the death of shipping. Everyone could support each other but there were only something like 9 special endings. Micaiah X Oliver A support best.

Loki Laufeyson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Great times. Speak for yourself. I don't remember too much, but I do remember tiering discussions and RTUs. Omg RTU. That feels like it was only a year ago or less...har! Didnt someone try to do that with FE13 and it got killed? FE10, the death of shipping. Everyone could support each other but there were only something like 9 special endings. Micaiah X Oliver A support best. Yet there was still squabbling over those 9 special endings...

Original Alear Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yet there was still squabbling over those 9 special endings... I'm guessing that the most squabbling was over the special ending that didn't explicitly pair the characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 A lot of the activity in the Awakening forum died down quite a bit. It used to be insanely fast in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Pretty similar. NO Waifu wars broke out less often. Less often? It hardly ever haappened. After FE13, whoars like Jprebs came along and waifuism started becoming "the shit" here. This is the best answer. Back in my day, it was tiering wars and whatnot. Tiering is an infinity amount of times better and actually stimulating to the mind. This FE13 thing isn't, never was , either.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Rey loves Olivia now. Shamefur dispray. Someone isn't with the times Tiering is an infinity amount of times better and actually stimulating to the mind. This FE13 thing isn't, never was , either. The arguments that resulted from the tiering were sometimes just as bad as waifuing/husbandoing/daughteruing/whatever else. But there were some hilarious stuff that also resulted from the tiering wars. The same can't be said about the whole waifuing thing (maybe except when Rey was the only one here doing it).
