those typical nostalgic moments

This is very weird, since I normally am not the type to be writing blogs like this ;;;

 

but I'm just stuck with those old memories in the past through aff - only about a year ago, but something abnormally far away now XDD

 

like those wallposts boxes that were absolutely tiny, stuck on the very right of the  screen and the absolutely miniscule fonts that I used to loathe, seeing I couldn't actually read a lot of it :L and the word limit of something like 50? and and the continuous check of each story and wall to check for new notifications - and the refresh button (it was almost becoming a habit for me to press it then :L) and knowing almost all the members - familiar with each of their IDs, almost everyone was a complete newbie :L

 

and the karma rankings then XDDDDD I still remember ime unnie, being the top all the way (still is now) but I remember thinking --> WHOA 0_____0 IME UNNIE HAS OVER 500 KARMA POINTS!!....... look at ours now.....

 

and it's strange to know that I can't actually remember meeting half these people - a lot of the original users that I kenw since the very beginning has long been missing (T__T) which is pretty annoying, since they were all amazing (y)

 

the first fic for me has to be ...... pink_melody's??? I can't really remember, but that was my first EVER fanfic - which is really cool :) and yesss - in those days, if you had 30 subscribers or more, you were an extremely high flyer in the website XDD even 10 subscribers were very good, since the amount of users were relatively small :) and yep - when I first wrote my first ever fic ---? noona is so pretty, and was so happy to have the first ever reader after my 4th chapter..... Chloebobs? Someone who left loong ago, but I still remember her -- something that I won't forget in a loong time.... and the second was ime.....

 

that's so weird :L

 

do you remmeber anything from those nostalgic days? :)

haha yeah i remember and i miss the old aff where everyone knew each others except this stupid competition of the subscribers or karma ranks omg it got on my nerves so much XD i was always wondering 'wtf O.O why is it so shocking to have so many karma points, i'm just talkative =.=' but now i don't care anymore ^^<br />
and yeah now all the newbies.. aff changed too much LOL that's why i'll disappear again when i'll have my studies ^^ and why do u think im more using fb or msn XD cause my friends r active there specially msn cause it's better to talk to the person online to really know her thoughts..<br />
<br />
and MERRY CHRISTMAS to u if u're celebrating it ^^

ah, when we were like a tiny close-knit group and where almost every user knew everyone on the site. it was like a little town that i loved being in XD<br />
but now it's changed completely, the amount of new users rocketed high up to the skies and hardly any new users come up to talk to me, i think they're scared of me :L<br />
LOL yeah, i remember the times when 30 subscribers were like the most popular fics ever.<br />
and when everyone was battling for the high spots in the karma rankings XD<br />
but now it seems like no one's bothered about that particular ranking anymore.<br />
but i'd like it to stay that way~<br />
merry christmas youjin unnie! <3<br />
have a nice day (:

yes... it´s like the site turned from a cozy living room full of people into a whole stadium of pushing girls (and guys?).<br />
the relations of numbers have changed so much ...as you said...like before it was: yay I´ve done it! 50 subscribers, I´m the queen of the world...<br />
and now the leading subscribed story has 1225 ... O_O<br />
it´s...overwhelming,....<br />
HOWEVER!! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT PLACE TO MAKE FRIENDS!^^<br />
