Thread: Old Ironguards
Pun towards the USS Constitution. 
Since the departure of another man of the "old guard", Kagemusha, I'm wondering which members of the old guard are still around. By old guard I mean the ones who registered before 2007 and who were around in 2005 and 2006 and posted extensively.
Couple of names
Kraxis
BKS
Gawain of Orkeny
Solypsist
Kraellin
Teutonic Knight
Psychonaut
Kaiser of Arabia
Red Harvest
GoreBag
Mikaeus Ceasar
Ian_of_Smeg
Tachikaze
AntiochusIII (my birthday brother)
Voigtkampf (I remember this guy when he was posting in 2005)
Red Peasant
Definitely not all of them and not in that specific order.
Any ideas?

Rythmic (Now Psychonaut correct?) is still around.
I swear I saw GoreBag and Mikaeus (Curry Wurry now?) recently.
Gawain...not since a post milestone. No idea how long ago that was.
Kraellin, not sure. Last 6 months I believe.

Man, those names really bring back memories. I especially miss BKS, Mikeus Caesar, and Voigtkampf; I don't think I've seen the "Anger Shaman" in years.
Psychonaut (Rythmic) is still around, though -- for which I am glad.
I also seem to recall seeing Kraxis here fairly recently (probably a month or two back?), although I'm not sure he actually posted anything.
I've not seen any of the others for a good while, though. I could've sworn Gawain paid a visit to the Backroom not too long ago, but I must be mistaken as his profile says he hasn't been here since January.

I think I fit that rather lax criterion, and I'm certainly not part of any old guard. :P

Voigtkampf is a member whose name I always spelt wrong. Always. I've not seen him since before 06 Man, those names really bring back memories. I especially miss BKS, Mikeus Caesar, and Voigtkampf; I don't think I've seen the "Anger Shaman" in years.

As you've seen from my list, people who are still active haven't been included. I think I fit that rather lax criterion, and I'm certainly not part of any old guard. :P
You're part of the "Old Orgah Ironguards" list too.
I'd say that Panzer was one of them.

Heh, I thought the starting post said ones who were still here.As you've seen from my list, people who are still active haven't been included.

I'd submit Pindar but then again he might've checked in in the Backroom and I missed it.
Didn't Panzer come around recently?
Oh yeah true, Pindar. Another Old Orgah Ironguard.

Gore only goes in the chat. Best not to venture their though. Horrible place. 
Has JAG been around?

Just wondering, when do people actually admit something has improved? If extraterrestrials were to take surveys every year for about ten years, I am certain they would project us devolving into the Palaeolithic Age in thirty years... :PNo. I miss the old guard. Things were looser and more fun. Now everythings so uptight and serious in the backroom.
Keep in mind everything in the past is heavily romanticised, unless the past was so lousy you actually recollect it with loathing...
Gah, reactionaries
.Australian Government has improved.
Improved its *insert witty line I cant think of*

Ah, you younglings... Speaking of aging. Did you know that people who were born after Toy Story came out will be 14 this year? Yep. Gentle reminder of your age.
:( That is the scariest XKCD ever.

Wasn't it? I feel like I've done nothing with my life ever since. Need to buy me a Ferrari...:( That is the scariest XKCD ever.
I think the backroom needs to find a new Devastatin' Dave. Tribesman has been filling both his original position, as well as Dave's, but he's just not as wholesome.
Its hard to believe I've been about for the better part of five years, but I've never been a terribly active member.

I'm in more-or-less regular contact with Solypsist. He's doin fine.

So what do you look for in a potential Devastatin' Dave?I think the backroom needs to find a new Devastatin' Dave. Tribesman has been filling both his original position, as well as Dave's, but he's just not as wholesome.
^ well seeing as how tribes fills the spot, you must use the term bollocks, so much so that it becomes your trademark. Oh and post about conservatives idiocy. i assume devastating dave was gentler

Emphasis on "pure" - not just any filth will do.
And it must be served with a certain style and verve, combined with the willingness to endure regular little chats with the mods

Aaahh...Dave! God how I miss him!
The guy was a poet! Everybody had a weak spot for him. What a class act.
Lists like these make me sad. So many people, so many memories. You know, I do get attached to people here. That whole collection of the weird, wonderful and bizarre.
Good times.

A lot of posters dont post much here anymore but still go to chat (fiz, disco, Spartakus, even Prole to an extent).
doc_bean and Sir Moody from Mafia and more
Sjakihata was one of my favorite Backroom posters.

Everytime I think of Dave I see this picture in my mind. Aaahh...Dave! God how I miss him!

Dave was funny, irreverent, and meant well most of the time. You had to read his best stuff quickly because more than likely it needed a bit of moderator editing. I wonder who he's mooning now?

I remember his classic thread "How long is your shlong", which had all of us getting our tape measures out. After that was zapped after less than a day, he followed up with a list of all his recorded infractions. Someone observed that Dave was like a puppy sitting proudly next to a pile of poo.Everytime I think of Dave I see this picture in my mind.
