We've had to endure much, you and I... Forum Appreciation Thread

[Viktoria]

"It's not the end of our world, but you can see it from here...".



That's right... Deus Ex Human Revolution will release August 2011... and for many of us, it marks the end of an era - four long years of living inside each other's posts!
We've seen it all, haven't we. The laughter, the tears, the camaraderie and the bickering. It's been truly wonderful!

Of course, it's far from over. The next chapter of our lives on this forum will be after the game is released, we've played... and we return here to discuss it. Good or bad... we know it's coming.

But before we get to that stage, let's share our fondest memories of the last four years.
What has been your favourite moment? The funniest, the saddest, the maddest and the most outrageous!

Also, feel free to take this opportunity to pay tribute to any members here.
New members - you are also welcome in this thread. Hopefully you'll be sticking around and will soon feel at home.

Here's my contribution:

Fave Thread (reference): Copy Pasta - so simple, yet so useful, it's genius!
Fave Thread (fun): The Hive/Chat thread - love the randomness in there.
Fave Thread (serious): Transhumanism (H+) -Politics/Philosophy/Religion/Prejudice/"Sentient"? Rights - interesting discussions.
Fave Thread (outrageous): DXHR - Will the future be vegetarian? - the best drama ever. We all ate too much popcorn back in the early days!



Tribute to members: My tribute goes out to every single one of you. To those who love me, and to those who don't much care for me (who are really just playing hard-to-get ). I love you all!

Special thanks to Tecman for keeping us up-to-date on the latest images and tidbits.... and to Pinky for making me grin - so much, the Cheshire Cat would be jealous.


A special mention goes out to my fellow mods, a great bunch of guys in all ways; DXeXodus who checks in regularly, Jerion who has given so much of his time here to help out and entertain us, and Romeo who is always around to offer me protection when he thinks I am in need of it, even though I keep telling him to back off because I can look after myself.
I kid.

Another shout-out goes to Rene, miss him and hope he'll come back sometime and say hello.

Finally, my thanks to Kyle, our Community Manager. Fairly new here, and what with settling into his new post and having to learn the ropes, he's still continued to work his butt off to keep us in the loop.
We appreciate it so much.

I'm sure I'll think of more to say... but for now, I'll let you guys do the rest of the talking.
Funny or serious, it doesn't matter. Express yourself!

Psssst... hey, (insert no0b poster nick)...MyImmortal is a female/dudette/woman

[Ninjerk]

Double Denton face palm is probably my favorite thing from this forum.

In close second is the general attitude of reasoned discussion exchanged between the longtime posters in this community (RIP thomasaquinas).

Third, the other games thread.

[pha]

This looks a lot like a depressing farewell thread, and we are far from August, are you leaving us or something? Anyway...

Favorite moment: When I heard about DX3 project, Eidos Montréal, and their enthusiasm.
The maddest: Every piece of new information about DX:HR is a mixture of great news and terrible news, very destructive for human psychology.
The most outrageous: Deleting my old posts one by one, and ragequitting, only to come back later.

Fave Thread (reference):The FAQ, with Copy and Paste as a close second.
Fave Thread (fun): Deus Ex trivia thread which has shown there are still things unknown for many people in a decade old game, like JC's laugh. Vid uploaded to YouTube by yours truly. And the fascinating fan art.
Fave Thread (serious): Nothing is even close to the neverending health regen topics and polls.
Fave Thread (outrageous):Impossible to pick only one.

Honorable mentions:

1. These images:








2. Polls about polls asking if there should be more polls about polls asking about polls.

3. Banned members and members who stopped posting.

4. All moderators, Coyotegrey, regulars, newcomers, lurkers, roleplayers.

5. René.

Oh man, this is really setting the bar high, MyImmortal - you ask so much of us!

There have been so many off-beat, utterly useless threads over the years...even just remembering what each of them were called is going to be a challenge.

There was a discussion about the giant HOLE in the middle of the ocean that we saw in one of the first trailers that comes to mind -

the very first photoshopping competition was pretty good too - with the cadaver

The caption fun thread is "legendarily epic" as the tag says - too many good laughs in that one

I'm going to have to get back to you on this one. SHEEEEEEESH

I know! Old threads will be wiped, new forums will be fully integrated with social sites, and we will have unnecessary bloat like Facebook and Twitter icons under each post.

It's a conspiracy!

[Jerion]

The attitude here is a marvelous breath of fresh air from the craziness you find elsewhere on the net. As game forums go, this is one of the most mature. Some of you guys and girls I actually quite like after this mad run. Some I can't help but (grudgingly?) respect. In any case, this place has always been a true community. As much as I'm afraid of what's coming in August, It'll be a treat nonetheless.

I have to give a pat on the back to my fellow mods. DXe is a pleasure to be around, even though he's not always here. MyImmortal, you've given a tremendous effort here over the years. Romeo, brotha, you're the man. If we were characters on Lost, MyImmortal would probably be Juliet, DXe would be either Jack or Boone...Romeo would be Desmond. I haven't got a clue who I would be. Pinky would be Sawyer...Erm. Topic!

I think special mention has to go out to Ashpolt, Pinky_Powers, and Tecman. Ash: Dammit man, even when I utterly disagree with you I can't come up with a reason to not respect or like you. Pinky: You always make my day creepy and fun. Tecman: You've really stepped up to the plate with keeping track of DXHR resources, and generally being a helluva guy.

Also to Spyhopping and Semi_Anonymous for hanging out in the IRC Channel and generally being awesome. The other guy in there who eats pants and puppies: Not awesome.

There's you others out there too, POM, K^2, Maxx...Where to end the list? Some of you guys are quite the characters.

We miss you here René!

Kyle, you've been invaluable, busting your butt to handle everything- especially in a place like this where fans are equal parts ravenous and comprehensive.

My favorite images to grace this forum:



To all you lurkers out there: Make an account, join the fray!

Best thread: copypasta
Pinky for president ofcourse
Tecman for being the most useful forummember. After the Nixes news, he actually checked almost every game nixxes helped put on the pc, with positive result. Always keeps us up to date as well.

But yeah there aremany members here which posts I enjoy reading... POM, I_I, don't know where to end but I sure had my laughs.

Oh and special thanks to Kyle of course!

Yes, I am a girl. But so is Federova... so watch your back!

My favourite moment was in 2007 when the DXMP community suddenly realized, no-one on this forums was interested in their internal problems and they would have to quit whining to Eidos and sort their own problems out. DXMP began to grow up. 4 years later and partly thanks to DXHR's PR and people from EM like Kyle helping us, DXMP is having a huge revival, 3 months in and I've seen 12 major mods hatching or being released.

I thought I was a pretty cool dude when I posted an upside down Sarif hand, but I think the best is yet to come from Eidos posts and from community posts.

Fave Thread (fun): Deus Ex meme thread/ Deus Ex Human Revolution caption thread (What happened to that anyway??









Peak times huh.

It's still around, but has dropped back a few pages due to lack of activity.
Go find it again if you want...

I think My immortal is a pretty cool guy. Eh makes up references from games that don't exist and doesn't afraid anything.

[Pretentious Old Man.]

OMG YOU TOTALLY STOLE MY IDEA!!!!!

I think we should merge this totally unnecessary thread with the old one, and take the creator of the new thread to a correctional facility. After all, the Omar can help her.

That thread was great! Where is the "I love you guys" thread ? MERGE EVERYTHING

How could I forget CoDElite? Cracks me up every time.

Also: That time when the e3 demo was leaked and we saw the first gameplay. I was spreading it around with PM's. Remember that? Probably me at my most excited on this forum.

There is nothing going on. Those black helicopters you see? If somebody was actually using those to conduct covert raids, they must be doing a poor job of it. Keep calm and carry on.

[JCpie]

Damn you people! His name is Codellite, not Codelite!!
