Talk:Alt.games.final-fantasy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zetawoof,

While I'm sure the cleanup is appreciated, I kind of criticized the usefulness of the page when RamenJunkie pointed it out to me but I see that he included some of the relevant info as to where the folks of AGFF went nowadays. Perhaps they aren't important enough to be wikilinks, but I think these notes should be here in *some* form. (Yes, I was on this group at one time) 72.192.237.134 16:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Ismail

If you can point out a specific place on LJ where they went, that'd certainly make a good link. Simply stating that they all moved to LJ, though, is hard to verify. Zetawoof^(ζ) 20:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it wasn't just Livejournal. For one thing, AGFF folks went to alt.current-events.blizzard-of-93, which acted as a major AGFF in-exile for a while and now... even though you won't usually see posts if you go there... is watched by old AGFF folks where if you post someone else WILL come along and reply, and talk for maybe a few days. If you look back in the last couple months on Google Groups you'll see this happen, even if you don't find any posts right now. That sort of "ocassional blip" of AGFF folks there happens very infrequently but it happens. There's a livejournal group that a few of the folks look at, reachable at http://agff.livejournal.com, and some of the other subgroups that you cut from the article are notable to the subject of AGFF for anyone who would actually be looking it up. I'm embarrassed to say that AGFF folks at its peak jokingly treated it like a world or town or something where the subgroups were part of the location (such as the hentai group being off in some desert on the world)... I'm not suggesting that the subgroups need pages of their own but that they should be mentioned on the AGFF page. I, RamenJunkie, and other folks from AGFF are talking about this article together on what we can bring to it to help it be worthwhile enough to not just delete and especially how to be more neutral about it (initial creation being at 2 am and all). Oh and for full disclosure if you start hunting old google groups, I went (still go) by the nickname of Slipgate there. 72.192.237.134 22:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Ismail

Also, I just got permission from the admin to to share a link. http://forums.thefurryone.net is where a decent number of us spend time in contact with each other. The aforementioned "discuss this Wikipedia page" discussion has been going on over there, but in terms of showing that this is a haunt of old AGFF folks, I point to this thread: http://forums.thefurryone.net/index.php?topic=52.0 which if you look at the memberlist has the majority of the active members on the forum posting in it. 72.192.237.134 22:48, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Ismail
