What did you miss most about RSBANDB?

The Killer · **Posted:** August 9th, 2007, 11:05 am

We have several regulars leaving and returning, and of course some moments here in RSBANDB, so what are the most memorable and you miss most about?

Mine is when I just joined and immediately got pranked by Woodequalsgp's fake 'I got hacked' April Fools joke.

Or more recently, my red name when I was on probation.

The old community, which, weirdly was smaller than this one. XD

There's still quiet a few oldies about but ya, a lot of people long gone that i didn't really know to well but wish now I'd gotten to know them better, cause there presence is missed.

Community in general was better back then too in my book, much more relaxed and fun, now some people (and it's increasing tbh) just take advantage of the relaxed environment and act like jerks. Which only means we have to be more strict.

Community is still good but it was better in the past, i guess this is the price you pay when things grow and get more popular, even if we aren't huge. Hell maybe it's just me, i was only a normal member during that time anyway, fairly carefree.

How RSBANDB was.. 18 months ago, those were the best times. I miss the old mod line up we had (no offense to any new mods) People like Kulla.

Or perhaps pika? Though some things about him I didn't like, he was still cool.

I can agree with you on that Creepy. When it was smaller it was a lot of fun, not that it isn't now though.

I remember when I first joined the community was fairly small. I liked that. I could have just as easily chosen to go to Rune HQ or Tip It or another very large community, but I happened to come across this site. With it being a smaller site, I found it to be a lot easier to make friends, and unlike some of the bigger fansites, the staff actually gets to know people and make friends also. The other big sites actually say "Don't pm the staff or we will warn you."

At the smaller stages of rsbandb, I just found it to be a lot more welcoming and a lot of fun. I am not as active in posting as I used to be, but I still have chats with friends I made here on msn almost daily.

King Kulla was cool. Whatever happened to him? Haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't really remember him specifically posting saying he was leaving.

If i remember right he moved over to another fansite that was used a lot more by the clan he leads + he didn't feel like he had enough time to do his job here properly and maintain his clan and stuff.

Don't quote me on it though, it was awhile ago and i don't remember exactly but i think those where his reasons.

Enkiddy. Say hello to Mr. flaming.
He's prolly the reason I flame alot of people on the official forums... and I'm glad I do. Like a life skill huh?
We need some open flaming discussions here...lol j/k.
But the best part of rsbandb were the sandbox glory days of 2006. We've just gotta move on though.
One of the downside to this community is the lack of forum population. Most members are active 1-4 hours a day, but at most, only 20 or so are online, at average. We also have a lack of a**holes and spammers. which is good, but like Creepy said, an occasional piece of **** comes along and stomps the **** out of the fun. (TBH I kinda enjoy these people and their stupidity because I can FLAME [Muahaha])

Mushroom Queen · **Posted:** August 9th, 2007, 10:35 pm

I miss people just being nice and helpful to each other. Doesn't happen as much now.

The Killer · **Posted:** August 9th, 2007, 10:43 pm

Runescape Questions section is always a place people help each other. But other than that I can't really say. :/

My god I loved Enkidutorix. I actually miss him and his flaming.

I must say that I remember being surprised at a fansite that was not the usual drab blue and white skin. The black just surprised me.

I also remember spamming my way being Dragon Member. I regret it now when I look back at my old posts, they seem so immature.

Probably the best thing I remember about Rsbandb was the helpful and kind ambience despite the dark background. The people were wonderful and respectful even if you were immature and annoying as ****.

2nd post, lol

I miss weekly mod pk trips, back quite a while ago when the staff was bigger we used to go pking together sometimes. The staff is smaller now and not as many play rs either. Though, people in RS are much higher combat levels now in the wild so i doubt it would be as much fun now anyways.

Brandt · **Posted:** August 10th, 2007, 8:33 pm

I miss all the old people who left

Some of them were awsome..and the old mods who were here were cool...and PIKA since he was awsome and from my neck o' the woods.

Yeah. I miss pika, Enkid, King Kulla, Dan(during the lobbywarz days), and Crysala(before I read Brad's blog).

The Killer · **Posted:** August 11th, 2007, 1:30 am
