I hope this can be a similar thread where we can talk specifically about those forumites who have impacted our lives or one point or another, including those who sadly are no longer among us. The ones that kinda stuck in our heads, the ones that always made us laugh, etc. But please - no insults.

Generalities: I remember Four-Sided Triangles because they called me a "Poe" my first day on the forum. I learned what the word "Poe" was that day!

Hippostania (spelling?) always made me laugh. So did the Truth and the Light (Lies and Ignorance). Funniest avatar goes to Franklin Bluth. Try debating seriously with a muppet. Of course, debating seriously with Richard Nixon - a la Mike the Progressive - was equally funny, especially when Mike was drunk. I miss Nightkill and South Asia Minor too for some reason because they both had the unique distinction of making me spray my drink over my keyboard. I forgot what it was?, but I've never laughed so hard at something on an online forum.

Other forums: Jenrak, Junkyland, and Of the Quendi introduced me to RPing. I have nothing but fond memories of Jenrak, but is it true they had cancer at one point?

Oh well, these are some of the people I can recollect from my time on NS. Sadly, others I cannot remember their names just their avatars. Like pink flash animation of a gas mask girl.

What about you? Who were the most memorable characters in your colorful past on this forum? Anybody who made a difference?

To paraphrase Rick and Morty;

And I honestly can't even tell most of you apart half the time because I don't go by post count or flag, I go by amount of pain in my ass, which makes you all identical.

At least you still feel something, and have not drank yourself to death in this war.

There was once a gay racist who wanted to invade Nigeria.

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Literally, when I search for that in my posts... The Memorable NSers thread does not come up.

The search function is having a real fucking problem even separating the name from keywords in posts.


Something tells me that they were one of those posters that pops up out of the blue for a little while, but doesn't stick around. I think what makes American Freedom unique is that CFS is probably them.

Ah, but seriously... I do feel sometimes that if I don't log back in every single day, people will indeed forget about me.

It would be nice to be remembered, to know that I meant something to somebody, but I honestly don't know how one does that.


To be honest, you were one of the first posters I saw when I first came on here, so I'll probably remember you. The only reason I didn't list you was because I never really interacted with you.

Appreciate anonymity, at least you don't get messages things like "die terrorist".


A while ago, I got a TG from some DOS guy who was swiftly v&, trying to troll me for my status as nonbinary trans. There were a lot of other people listed, and I'm pretty sure they all got it, too. I just laughed at it, honestly. I know not everybody can do that, but it was just hilarious to see somebody waste their time trying to break me.

2. Luveria is trans and bi/pan, not gay.

3. I've never heard her say anything racist.

That might be about right, even though we had a few others who were quite capable of generating hundreds of posts each day. Mind you, many of those were masters of one word posts, which is not exactly the kind of behaviour you want to encourage in an online community.

posting pics of a really hot girl in what do you look like and making your flag a picture of that girl and going "yeah that's totes me"
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

more than that

they also got another pic of a hot girl on the internet and said she was their sister

then she and her sister would constantly be posting on ns

but when one was posting the other would be temporarily offline lol (i think)

plus i think they were always online at the same time maybe

except we found that picture elsewhere on the internet and she turned out to be some model

i think she had actually been in the midst of introducing another character by the time people found out her sister at least was def fake

that's when she suddenly stopped logging in

she said she was taiwanese but lived in japan but she wrote english and used emojis like a typical north american teen on the internet and was unlike e. asian young girls on the internet (though ill admit my experience is largely limited to korean girls)

plus she had perfect casual english, although i think she said she had not lived in the west before (not sure about this)

also she did not know there was a "ng" sound in japanese

she said she had some corporate job iirc but she was posting 24/7 on nsg

For lianhua I think she messed up when her "friends" also joined NS. IIRC someone found one of the pictures of the friend was stolen from somewhere.

In terms of of people using photos to pretend they're someone they aren't, the Award for Best Choice in Photo Source goes to Avalar, for choosing the twitter feed of a gay pornstar as his source of "pictures of himself".
