The End of the count down...the beginning of a new and exciting time with the game and forum.

Been waiting SO long for this, I just want to congratulate the team and say a huge well done, words can't express how amazing you all are (but hey you knew that already, right? ;) hehe)

And for all of us Fans...the signatures and petitions were worth it :)  <3 :yes: :smitten: :iluvu:

Well we've come to love that little guy as much as we hate him! It wouldnt be the same without atleast 20 of them on the forum per day! I think they got a bit suffer-happy (which sounds so wrong :P) over the ppast few days but hey, I don't mind, they had their fun and now we can too ...when July 10th finally comes.

It seriously is like counting down to christmas morning  :suffer:

Me neither...it's blocked due to privacy settings.

It's probably because it's on Kimmie's profile...

yeh sorry, it's via facebook as it's the only thing I could upload the video to!

What about YouTube?
In any event, doesn't each video have its own set of privacy rules now? If so, you should be able to set it to be viewable to everyone.

Of course, some uber-vet is probably going to come and talk about how the forum was black and white in THEIR day... XD

oh...my...I love that old picture. Where was that from?  :suffer: :suffer:

See how far everything has come...at the time I remember sitting in school going onto the forum for the first time and being like  :o a new kings quest?  :suffer: time flies when you aren't looking closely!

Well, it's from back when I was a moderator, so...some time in 2006, maybe? And it was after the change from kq9.org to kqix.com...when did that happen again?

2005 was when the name was changed to TSL.

I can't recall the forums were like that Jafar, all blueish. must be before my time *ponders* or my memory is failing me again (highly likely). I do wonder who the oldest active member is that isn't part of the team.
Title: Re: The end of the countdown, the start of the Silver Lining
Post by: koko_99_2001 on June 26, 2010, 03:51:03 PM
Well, I'm active, and didn't start out as part of the team :P But since I am now, I doubt it counts.

I still had a tab open to the old forum so I took a screen shot just for that purpose.

You know what?

Now that I'm seeing the picture....

I am pretty sure I was here for the very end of the "blue" days! All those posts where I was like "I never saw it blue, but I've been here for the whole dark period"... yeah, yeah, I'm full of it. :P
Title: Re: The end of the countdown, the start of the Silver Lining
Post by: koko_99_2001 on June 27, 2010, 05:28:22 AM
I was definitely here for the blue days...a lot of blue days...:P

Post by: Tolin on June 27, 2010, 06:33:23 AM
I joined back in the Days of Blue as well.  Good times.  I joined the forum because I
figured I'd say something on occasion, which has been the case... and then I was a
bit more active after the online auditions went through and I was cast in some roles.

Such fun.  :D

Post by: Kimmie on June 27, 2010, 07:38:32 AM
Hey Nate!

Haha, yeh me too, I loved being a part of the online auditions, I hope my characters are still going to be in the final games (hence my new signature with the winged ones  :suffer:)

It's just so great that fans can be a part of something they love. Thinking back to those days makes me smile...and thinking back to these days makes me smile EVEN more  ;D

I can't remember, Kimmie...who did you voice?
Title: Re: The end of the countdown, the start of the Silver Lining
Post by: Kimmie on June 27, 2010, 07:59:05 AM
well *i think* it's the queen of the Winged ones and maybe Desdemona...but I might have been axed for both ;)

Makes it all the more exciting and intruiguing when the games come out

Post by: copycat on June 27, 2010, 09:13:16 AM
Ah yes, the online auditions. Wasn't cast as anything though, but at least there was the added bonus of everyone on the forum hearing my accent when talking English, as I uploaded everything to my homepage and posted links because OFFICIALLY the online auditions had ended.
Does the fact I was once beta-tester also make me ineligible for oldest active member?
Age-wise, I am, that's why I was grandfather of the KQ9-family.
I'm guessing I'm also in the running for highest ranking active member.
IT-wise, I would be considered ancient.

I feel like I'm too young to be feeling this old. I remember a LOT of blue days as well. It took ages for me to get used to the whole red thing. XD

Post by: crayauchtin on June 27, 2010, 11:17:45 AM
I missed the online auditions, much to my dismay! Think about it -- it could have been my first major voiceover role and then when I'm famous and doing them all the time I could look fondly back on TSL during my interviews. :P

So I just saw this music video and while it has a much deeper meaning as well, it reminded me a lot of The Silver Lining, so I thought I'd share it with all of you. You'll have to go to YouTube to see it though; embedding has been disabled.

Hey, wow, you're right! Wish I had thought of that (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?topic=8529.msg278766#msg278766). ;)

Yes, same here. When they switched to the red, I was still so in love with the blue that it took forever to appreciate the red. And now that I am used to the red...

...it's all clouds and trees!!! :o :stars:
