Hey, guys. Kenso here. I know this is totally lame, posting on a dead site. But I don't care. At all. This place was the birthplace of my RP lifestyle. There are so many memories here. I made a lot of good friends here, and I'll always have you guys' backs. Just like I know you guys will always have my back, hopefully. I may not have shown it, but deep down, I loved each and every one of you. You guys were....... awesome, to say the least. I figured I would make this thread, so we could all reminisce and enjoy each others' company one last time. Who knows. Maybe we'll exchange Facebooks or something. I realize practically no one gets on here anymore. Hell, I see DJ and I were the only ones on in the past 24 hours. However, if anyone does happen to pop in, please post in here. Your memories make this thread. Our memories make this thread. But before we reminisce, I need to let everyone know something. It's incredibly important. I've been lying to you guys for 5 years now. Yeah. You see. There was no "Seth Wheeler." Seth was just some alter ego I put on because he seemed so much cooler than the real me. Seth was this badass, 19-year-old stud with blonde hair and blue eyes, that was sarcastic and douchey, yet somehow loveable. Seth never existed. Honesty time. I found this site when I watched the English dubbed pilot episode of GX. I came around as a guest for a while, disguising my Cbox name under "Inuyasha." That went on for about a month, and on February 2006, I joined this site as "Kenso Troxin." So, seeing as "Seth" is 19 this year, that would've made him 14, right? Well, to tell the truth, I, the real me, was actually 11. Yeah. Mind-blowing, I know. I turn 16 this year, and I'm going into my junior year of high school. Which means I joined this site when I was in the 6th grade. I never intended for this lie to live as long as it did, but you guys all knew me as "Seth." I couldn't disappoint you guys at such a lively stage for the site and for me. So yeah. I'm sorry to crash the world on you guys, but I just had to. I couldn't live it any longer. Anyway. Please, if any member of this site comes on, please post in here. Let's leave this site with one final BANG! Let the sparks fly!

I didn't get my start in RP here, but another site. However, here is where I achieved my (childish) dream of being popular, however brief it was. Despite that, I learned being 'That Person' wasn't all it was cracked up to be and I became content to mostly stay behind the scenes.
I did a lot of stupid things, but hopefully a lot of good as well, because I had fun here despite it all. In a way I grew up here, from a cocky teenager to a slightly-less cocky adult.
I first discovered the site when someone from my first RP site gave me the link, then said he would 'meet me there'. Of course, he never did but I had become so fond of the people here I stayed anyway, and what started as a hobby became something much more important. Made a lot of friends, and just as many enemies, but I'll never look back on the time here with regret.
Unlike many other people, like Mr. Kenso above, I was never creative enough to create my own character. I was probably the most uncreative person ever at the time, so I based Ashley Fox off of myself, for the most part, including name. (My first RP site I played Asuka Tenjoin, so no creativity needed).
When I first came to this site, I was 17, I'm now 22, but it feels like it's been a decade since I wandered onto the Cbox here, so much has happened and I'm sure everyone here has grown up in their own ways since coming here.
I loved every minute here, through all the good and bad, and I'd do it all again without hesitation if I could.
While I don't have a facebook, I do have MSN messenger (akusa_fox@live.ca), so if anyone did want to say hi there, feel free.
As for the thread itself, I'll sticky and make it an announcement. If anyone does happen to stop by, I want them to see this thread. This site was important to me, and I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for it and all the shenanigans that happened here.

Well damn. July 3rd, 2006. That's when I made my first account on here, Sancuro. I was on that account for a year or so, probably longer, until something went down and I couldn't post with him anymore.
So I made this account. And this is the account on which I've made many of the memories that make me check up on this site every once in a while. I did today, and I see this thread. It's a shame only two of you have posted, but it's better than none at all.
I've lost communication with most on this site, barring Umbra, Pierce, and Anubis thanks to a similar interest in hobbies. Some people on here were very close to me, some I barely even knew. I find myself wishing I could go back in time every now and then, and experience it again.
Alas, it is not possible. So here I am, reminiscing on the golden days of GX.
How corny. Yet, it makes me feel good.

Well... I'm nowhere near a veteran as Kenso, Ashee or Kyono. I've been here since 2008 and I was a bit confused. To be honest, I only really liked the original Yugioh and thought GX was a poor imitation and the newest one... an embarrassment.
But anyway.... I delayed a year in starting since... <.<" Well, I'm actually a shy and quiet person and I was a bit nervous showing any of my favorite characters ---- Anubis in particular (that I created personally) seeing that they probably aren't fit for PG-13 society >.>
Dueling isn't my thing and I'm easily deflated so I tend to stall a bit. Explains why I avoid duels like the plague huh? I kinda suck at it but, with the friends I made here (Umbra, Ken-ken, Ashee, Kyo-kyo and a whole bunch of other people) I kinda got over it and just roleplay with everyone else.
I adore role-playing but this was honestly my first and only forum I have ever been on and will remain that way, I suppose. I do like to stop by every now and again though simply because: A) I like to get the last word :3 B) I like to look through the archives at a lot of the threads just to reminisce.
Catch me sometime or add my MSN or something and maybe we can chat or roleplay. :3
So.... for now, so long GX and may peace be with you~ <3

It's no secret that over the past five years that I've been on this site, I was never the most respected, or liked person for that matter.
Hell, I came in, started s--t all over the place, got banned, came back, and ran amuck for at least three years. A looooot of people quit because of me, and even more so (the lesbians in particular) glare at me in ire over what I've done here. I've broken rules, I've started fights, I've been the fight, but looking back, I've realized how much I've grown.
To be honest, this last year here has been different. I'm not as annoying as I was, I'm not as prone to arguments, and to be honest, I take most things here with a grain of salt now-a-days.
I owe this site for making me realize, right up close and personal, what the real world has to offer.
Over the past year, I've made amends with somebody on this I've always had a disliking for, I've made amends with other people who I always annoyed for the lol's, and I think I've made peace with this place.
As somebody who's been here since damn near this place started...it makes me sad to see it go.
But you know what? It was all worth it in a way.
RIP GX.....may your memory serve us with nostalgic happiness forever and ever.

Oh you guys. You guys really don't believe in miracles, do you? ='(

PS: You guys need to stop being so sad and RIP. Come onn, this place was the best! Cheer up. =D
And wow, even Mr. Kindo grew up. You guys are going to make me cry here...=(

Lando I'm gonna slap you with my Don't Even Try it Stick!
OMG you are all going to have me crying soon. I haven't been back to this forum in about a year now because I decided that once and for all I was officially going to stop beating around the bush, there wasn't going to be any way of reviving things fully as they had once been. But Lando got me over here again for something else and I just saw this and wow...
You know, I can honestly say that GX wasn't something I really intended on doing back in the day, I had the original yugioh forum and like Anu well I kinda thought GX was cheesy and a pathetic way for them to try and keep the card game selling.
I mean if no one noticed it, it'd be a miracle, but I couldn't play the card game, I sucked at it... and honestly I had no idea what I was doing with this place, but like everyone else I jsut kinda came to love all the people here and I loved RPing with everyone and seeing how people changed over the years.... Feeling sad when people would leave but then doing a little happy dance in my head whenever people would return =P (Yes I was/am a dork)
I can't believe it's been 6 years since this all started... I was 18 at the time and just getting out of high school, though i don't think anyone really believed I was so old at the time and now here I am at almost 25 and I still have stacks of cards in my room which I take out now and then just to see how rusty I've gotten =) I am still in contact with quite a few people from here, but there are still plenty of people that I miss and don't get to see as much =(
I really did love everyone here, no matter what crazy drama ever went down or how insane I might have gotten in trying to keep order about this place =P You know I'd still love to talk to everybody if anyone does want to stay in contact (In case I'm not talking to you out of here already.)
You can catch me on Facebook (look up Brandi Gouran) or on MSN - shaman_girl1986@hotmail.com
I'm sorry that I haven't been around before now, I feel really bad about that, but hopefully we get to talk soon outside of here also. ^_^
~ I love you Guys!!!!!! -Raven/Callista/Miyuki

Post by Tori Kyoakuhan on Jul 28, 2011 10:46:24 GMT -5
Well snap! I'm not longer under the rules of my mothers house so, by the spirits, I will share ALL my contact information! Well, maybe not ALL. Hit up my newest e-mail redicuolousregulations@gmail.com or my old MSN and AIM Yahoo! is just... it was hacked. So it died and I don't use it. For Facebook, Amanda Brown or Ame Engle. Track me there. There is as always DeviantART as well www.amedono.deviantart.com. At Jul 20, 2006, 10:01pm, my very first RP character was born. Tori Kyoakuhan. I hardly dueled and when I did, I normally lost despite my best effort. Though each loss made me smile anyway (ok so at first I was raging behind the scene. Details details...)! It was through here that I actually got the courage to talk in the real world. It got me to be a social butterfly and a die-hard friend. (You can ask some of the peeps I'm still friends with--I go above and beyond for them!) I have most of them on facebook already, and some not as much. I know I quit a lot, and probably spammed the crapadoodle out of the forms when I was here, but I couldn't help it. I loved this place. My life more or less revolved around you all at the time. Then, in 2009, I went to basic training. And failed. When I came home, I didn't see as many friends as I had, or everyone was already off to do their own thing. Now, in 2011, I'm married. But once again, I'm sitting at home, job searching, and thinking back to how things use to be. I miss it. I honestly do. If I could go back in time just to relive it, I could. But I can't. All I can do is sort through the old threads and reread or chat about it with someone who remembers it better. Every character I made, I had fun with or just... slowly died off. Eventually, people grow, and people change. The past--unlike for Tori--will always live strong in me. I mean, I can't tell you how many times I just sit down and through the signatures and pictures I did and smile as memories flooded into me. I guess I need to stop rambling and wrap this up. To everyone, though I have been absent for ever and a day (or two), you are the people who changed me for the better. I love you all and I hope I can see you all in the future--either in person or online. They work the same for me. ~Tori - One of A Kind! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

My god, It's still here. That's a shock. I don't even know where to begin, most of you probably don't even know, or remember, me. I joined in 2007, seems like an eternity ago now, and had an awesome time. I was so young at the time and reading some of my old posts really makes me want to tear my eyes out because of how bad they were. It's a shame, an absolute shame, that this place had to slowly decline and die like it has/is countless hours were spent here typing like mad and having fun, I haven't roleplayed since, I haven't found a place that had as great a community or feel to it since I left all that time ago. I kind of regret leaving, even now. This place was awesome.
I don't even know what to say, This place holds to so many memories, friendships, everything. It's impossible to describe it properly, I find it sad that I can't even remember some of my best friends on here or even my first characters name. The plots were epic, the roleplaying was epic, There's just no other word than epic.
This is where I started to roleplay and where I stopped, which I find so, so depressing. Looking at the cbox and seeing five days between posts really is a blow to the heart, I remember when you couldn't get a word in edge-ways because of how active the thing was. Dead bawx is dead.
My last roleplay was with Anubis, one of the last remaining active people on here and I don't know why I didn't finish it, maybe I should. I can't even say how this site changed me, I'm not even sure it did. But either way, it was special to me and to a lot of others aswell.
There's is really nothing else I can put into words, I doubt I'll ever find a place like this and even If I did, It still wouldn't be here which, as I said before, is depressing. Half the people in this thread I never got the chance to roleplay with but I had seen you around and you all played a greater part in making this place what it was, and in some ways, still is. This site is a roleplaying legend, one that will be sorely missed.

Its been a long time hasn't it? So long since I came here looking to do some dueling with a little attached RPing by creating a pie obsessed duelist who eventually somehow channeled the powers of circumstance and inexplicable probability to mess with people. To those who've been here a long time, perhaps you share my memory of the absolutely magnificent shitstorms both in and our of RP that we had back in the day, good times in my book, back when the internet felt so young. I stuck with "Geo" here until the end(for me at least, a couple years ago), though i can hardly claim any sort of proficiency in writing, i had a lot of fun with the change from 'normal guy' into a 'master of absurdity' and then finally into a 'cranky old man'. I dont think i can make any grandiose claims about the site affecting how i turned out or it making me a better person, but i defiantly had my share of fun, and thats about all you can really ask for from a hobby , i hope you all can say the same. My contact info remains the same, please feel free to get a hold of me via AIM(Geomanthemaster) or MSN(GTzathas@gmail.com), I still enjoy the game and would love to just mess around on dueling network or whatever, or even just talk about anime or life or whatever. May your lives take you all the places you wished to go. -George T. "The Geomaster"

Wow, guys, this is weird. I joined this site in February of 2006. That's a little more than 7 years. At that time, I was in the fifth grade, and I'm now about to venture into life as a full-time college student. Do you know how weird it is to think about that? I've known you guys for most of my pubescent life. You all shaped me and made me who I am today. The writer I am today thanks you all for the experience. I love you all so much. Anyone and everyone, please, reply back. If you feel comfortable, again feel free to drop your Facebook or some social network on here so we can all keep in touch. I love you all so much, and I hope to hear from you again.
