Do you remember LWS?

http://i.imgur.com/o0TOp.jpg

Cool and not so cool things that have happened to me since I found LWS in 2004:

* Worked on 4 PC and Xbox 360 titles throughout 2004-2008, including two AAA titles: Pirates Vikings and Knights 2 and Galactic Bowling

* Got a DUI while 19 years old, blowing a .03, hungover from the night before

* Helped start Oriku Inc., which hosted one of the headlining presentations at Siggraph 2009, and while on the side also started building a new online image service, currently boasting over 500,000 registered users. http://fotofuze.com

* Failed community college twice, and am currently taking English 2 (business writing) for the third time

* Recently got possession charges for weed and am currently the only pothead in my group therapy sessions which are filled with crackheads, heroin addicts, and 4-5 time DUI offenders.

* Am currently one of the hottest upcoming dubstep artists for 2011, http://soundcloud.com/retrotation


Oldfags from LWS, where has your life gone?

I've posted several thousand more times on Internet forums.

Oh come on scarf, you also did a baby.



yeah i said it.

and i mean it the way you think i mean it.

I don't 'get' dubstep.

Dubstep is awesome. I am, however, far too lazy to click on that link.

So....So.....So White....

I love dubstep.

I'm engaged to be married, have an Actuary job lined up for when I graduate college in May, and have achieved much academic and personal success.

Also, like Scarf, I posted thousands of more times on an Internet forum.

I stopped being emo and am in third year Uni... no big deal :)

I am also Batman

i had several thousand wanks and took many steps towards my inevitable death
(but not as many as atmosfear)

atmosfear had several million wanks (it doesn't count as actual sex if she's a genuine BBoR)

I killed a few more black people.

Guys what's LWS?

I keep seeing it mentioned on this site

Yes, but I like this site better. One of the mods in lws banned me for a reason I didn't agree with.
But to answer the question, I didn"t do much since lws, but I wasn't doing much other than posting while on lws either.

things i've done or have happened to me since finding LWS in 2004:

-travelled overseas twice
-graduated high school
-graduated university
-lost my virginity
-got better at watching tv
-mum diagnosed with cancer (fine now)
-wrote some things
-...

I found LWS about... a year and a half before it imploded?


How long ago was that, late 2006/2007? It died in May 2008?

Assuming it was late 2006...

Mom, the accountant, got cataracts right before tax season, worked through it even blinder than she is normally (she has astigmatism)

Mom broke her ankle complete right before tax season, worked through it unable to walk and on pain killers

Mom got breast cancer right before tax season, worked through it sick on chemo and barely able to eat

I told my advisor I'm quitting, then I didn't

I whined a lot about grad school

I went to a couple physics conferences and presented in front of a bunch of nerdy self-important physicists, one in New Orleans and the other in Pittsburgh, where the fancy hotel room I stayed in with 2 Evangelical Christian colleagues became a... hot thingy for some sex.

Half of my lab was moved out to another building far away. Pain in the ass.

I had disappointing dates, short-term flings, and some good or mediocre hookups.

Nothing else exciting.

:dint:

since I found LWS in ... ugh.. 2005?

I started working as a freelance sysadmin (because of TGO)

I helped build THE KILLER APP OF THE INTERNET and ironically still maintain it (also because of TGO)

I got a couple large forums to hire me as their sysadmin (once again, with TGO's assistance)

Due to my massive increase in both income, and girth I:

Bought a new house that's literally 3 times the size of the old one.
Spent tens of thousands of dollars on toys (TVs, computers, consoles, HTPC parts, etc.)

Other events that happened:

A lot of my pets died :(

I got a lot of new pets! :)

I met a lot of new internet friends and we hang out a few times a year.

Oh, and I had a hand in making LWS go out with a huge bang instead of a slow, drawn out whimper.

Also, I started CD, so it can continue LWS's slide into obscurity.

you did pretty good then from meeting tgo

i was, and remain, very proud of you for this

This thread is starting to make me believe that you guys/ people in general have more exiting lives/accomplish more stuff/ have more goals than me or something like that.

Satori, you forgot to mention that since LWS you have been the most prolific and successful troll known to man.

Wow, LWS and ZOINTS reminded me of a good time gone by, since 2005/6 holy shit have things changed...

moved across 3 continents, got engaged, finished uni, started my own company....(not selling webhosting) and now hope to live happily ever after

Since joining FCS in '04(and whenever it's very first incarnation was) I have;

Done massive amounts of drugs that would kill the entire user base this site has 5 times over.
Picked up, and Kicked, numerous addictions.
Went to jail, and probably will go back to jail(March 7th)
Been a waste of space, breath, life since 1988.
Turned 21, got drunk with my mom while running up a $300 bar tab, bruised my ribs, and sliced a gash in my side(where I bruised my ribs)(I still have a semi-gnarly scar there)
Fucked your mom.

You are a fucking pathetic excuse for a human being. You've accomplished nothing and you're stupidly proud. I think you probably fucked your own mother if you drank $300 of booze with her.

whoa VS is a human?

i thought it was a whitetrashbot we all agreed to keep as a forum pet

As much as you try to deny it, the story about you going for an interview at a warehouse is so bad, even an autistic person would down's syndrome would call it retarded.

After that story with the interview for a warehouse, Ray Charles can see you're a troll.

since discovering LWS in 2005 I have had a lot of sex with one person then masturbated while thinking about it after she leaves

i'm a romantic

In all seriousness, this has probably been asked before, did that crazy guy that everybody hated REALLY spend heaps of money buying LWS and then canned it immediately?

Which is dumber:

Selling a company to someone else. Note that you're making enough money off of this to pay your users...
Just shutting it down. Now if he wasn't really making money off of it and lying to us then ok sure.

Joined the navy and saw the world. While there, got drunk and terrorized the native populace, and berated them for not loving and worshipping the one Lord and true Savior, Jesus H "fucking" Christ. Started a Casual Discourse photo database at www.madpinorage.com which I'm currently updating right now as I go through all these horrible Satori threads. About to get out the Navy and go to college.

I want to fund and help build a new LWS. $$$$ I also want to be the new TGO... no... a new and improved TGO.

My dad died
Smoked weed the first time
Continued smoking weed
Had my first (4real) kiss

Moved to austin, lived there for a while

When you said "and a lot of other crazy stuff along the way", Atmosfear inferred that your opinion was the rest of the list was 'crazy stuff' too.

No, you inferred that. It equally implies that the other stuff is crazy.

if i say "x, y, z and other numbers", it implies x y and z are numbers.

if he had said "and a lot of other, crazy stuff", with the comma, the other and crazy would have been separate modifiers and therefore only applicable to the "other stuff", but he said "a lot of other crazy stuff", so i agree with faesce

and it is faesce by the way not atmosfear

I stand by everything faesce said by the way

I just don't think you should apply strict grammatical rules to a post that shows no attempt at even basic grammar.

I don't think we should stand idly by witnessing the decay of articulate communication in order to meet the needs of arvitrary 140 character limits.

People I know on Twitter are better at using correct grammar and spelling than people I know on Facebook.

3 year addiction

3-4 hours a week

am i missing something?

<-- waiting for retarded rationalization

How much is a wow subscription because he didn't even cover sunk costs i dont think.

They worked. They're the reason I bought Rift.

That, and some friends who play it.

Aw I'm getting all nostalgic over a freaking forum! Lol, I'm so lame. I recognize a lot of names here, I've missed you guys. I didn't miss you Satori...

Since lws died a horrible death, I got married, I found a decent career that I can live with, I quit smoking and I've traveled off the continent for the first time to spend a week in Hedo (effin awesome and highly recommended) Seems spending all those hours in a more productive way was beneficial to me. Here's hoping finding all you doesn't lead to my eventual deterioration.

I've also continued to uphold the strict child labor in my household (but I had to get a bigger cage) ;)

Love you guys!

I guess it was fairly predictable that having a thread with LWS in the title would bring back some old names.

I remember LWS. It was pretty cool. There were all these people of different backgrounds who were all open minded and awesome, then there were these people who I swear must've been Magic: the Gathering players in a bunch of the other forums, but that was all right.

Then LWS died and the style died with it. CD appeared and only the M:tG-esque type people who were up their own arse and would rather discuss one poster's use of the word 'crazy' instead of continuing threads and being friendly and welcoming followed it. Alas, there's not much that can be done about that.

I think you mean only people from flames came here.

mount jee had

yeah, this is pretty much Flames 4.0 and not LWS 2.0

I didn't miss you either. But then again I don't know/ remember who you are. This one post doesn't help me remember you much.

fucked bitches, got money
