YGOL Forums: What Ygol Meant... Means... To Me - YGOL Forums

Hey guys. I know there probably aren't alot of people online like there used to. Its been years since I've been here. I can only guess at the number of original members here.

This site is archaic really. I am profoundly intrigued by how I still remembered that my password was...

*echem*

Anyways, without further adieu, I'd like to share a "rant" or so about YGOL.

Its been a while since I've even heard the name, "Yu-gi-oh!", let alone the greatest forum dedicated to it.

This was my FIRST FORUM... well... the first one I was actively involved in. The only one forum before that was a Code Lyoko Forum hosted by Cartoon Network (I think). Even then, I was only a guest there.

What brought me to the forum? Why my friend... the answer is SIMPLE!

Google magic baby... google magic.

I was scared it was a scam site because there were so many pop-ups, but my little 13-year-old wit got enough nerve to click on "Forum".
From there, I saw an array of beautifully written articles. An introductory place? A duelist center? A place for people to show off their decklists and exchange ideas?! I was in a maddened frenzy just looking at this. I believe I started to drool a little bit.

The ART WORK! The signatures were beautiful as the conversations were (or just as hilarious) XD.

Who was my first friend on YGOL? My first online friend whom I have known to this day... haven't heard from her in about a year, but nonetheless, a true friend in my heart.

Her username was Dakura Daemon (pronounced Day-man).

She was witty, sharp, and always up for a challenge. No one could scare her.
I then met duelists like XYZDragonCannon (a.k.a. Stant), RaphaelIV, Ace (can't remember the rest of his username... I think it was 24), and others who I've shared many a hearty battle. In the chat rooms I had many a laugh and spectated public duels. I even remember a time where a mod stepped into a room and accidentally kicked one of the duelists out for typing in all CAPS! lmao!

Ah... good times... but this grandfather-like-rant has got to come to a conclusion!

My point:

My memories were good.
They were great!
Excellent if you ask me!

I met so many nice people here who in turn introduced me to great friends. This was my escape from stress. This was my paradise. This was my home away from home...

This was YGOL.

I remember even celebrating people's birthday's here! I had international friends for the first time in my life! I had some of the most groundbreaking, though-provoking conversations here!

This place rocked!

I don't know about it now. I'm just trying to pick up some branches snapped underfoot and imagine what the tree looked like.

Take care all.

Ah!

I almost forgot! What does/did YGOL mean to you?

P.S. (SORRY IF I BROKE RULES OR POSTED IN WRONG PLACE... ITS BEEN A FEW YEARS SO I'M STILL A BIT RUSTY AT THIS) xD

First of all welcome back Master of Legends.
Don't mind me not dedicating the whole post in the place where you created a room for but giving this little shortage.
Forgive me also that I will not pay respectively for my decision of appearance in your topic by answering your question;
because while intentions for this kind of share exist the time for it hasn't come yet.
Coming to calm your apparently shattered nerves (seriously...) at the sound of the words "rules" and implication "illogical" is a hypersensitivity.
As much as I seem running out of reasons I will simply say the answer to it is on the second second page of the General Chat section in relation to a particular part in your post. You deserve the right to be informed as all the others did and although now, knowing you haven't been there certainly would be someone to do so I think you haven't known long enough.
After familiarization with the topic please continue with what you originally intended in this one (I hope you will understand reason, the main one on the scale of significance).

Thank you Immortality...

it appears alot has changed since I've been gone. (R.I.P. Dakura...)

I'm not sure as to what else to add to the topic. I'm not even sure if other users log on often enough to notice it.

Hey dude...it's been a long while since I've dropped in for a visit too... I should more often...
Nice to see you and thanks for wishing me a happy birthday =)

no problem... I'm guessing that the site is unofficially dying/deceased?

Its shocking to think about still... it used to be infested with people. xD
