But, this could be true, might its possible,

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I guess you’re right, Pal. Would have loved to keep the novelization going!

Wow, I just got on and went to see what was up at the old forum since the last time I was here (I don’t even remember when the last time was). I’m sad to see it gone, but I can understand why.

Myself, and many others, have moved on to other things in life. I still remember the old days and the old friends, and always will.

I have a MySpace account, but rarely use it (about as often as I had been on the forum the last several years). I suppose I need to get a Facebook account one of these days, but somehow, I don’t see myself using it very much either. So many people I know are on it though, so maybe one day, just before it becomes obsolete, lol!

I just want to thank everyone who has ever been a part of the FFF over the years, you all are great friends and advisors! It was a great little corner of the internet we had for ourselves.

Wow, I do miss the old days. Pal, is the archive available online anywhere? I had some stuff on there I wouldn’t mind looking over again. Good times, great forum, great people! Hope you and everyone are doing well!

Wow, this was truly a difficult thing to find. I definitely understand taking the boards down, like so many others I too drifted away as my life changed, and it was always somewhat painful to see the activity decline in recent years. But like many others, this community played a huge part in my life. I couldn’t have been more than 13 or 14 when I joined, and I feel like I’ve grown up knowing a lot of you.

Many thanks to all the awesome people that made the FFF such a special place. I wish you all the very best.

I feel like a dagger was placed into my heart and twisted. Reading these comments is WAY sad as I recall my own experience. I must have joined the forums when I was 14 just a young lad, and I learned so much stuff as I developed into a more professional videographer. It’s crazy how time has passed so fast. I’m 21 now! NUTS! Well thanks FFF.
and I’d like to cordially blame facebook and blogger for the death of this once great empire… Adeuix (however you spell it)

well if anyone wants to contact me. Shoot me an email hardbed34@gmail.com especially my Utah home boys! peice out!

The FFF was the first message board I ever joined! I started reading back in the ezboard days when I was just beginning to explore the world of video. I was just a kid, and it was great to interact with a community of people who all had the same budding interest.

I ended up going to college for Digital Media, and had some great experiences working with video, animation, and compositing for class projects, and on an internship where I helped to start the video program at Philly.com/The Philadelphia Inquirer. I get to create a lot of multimedia at my current job (and do some corporate video, and even some animation).

I owe a lot of who I am as a content designer today to my infancy at the FFF. I don’t think I was ever huge poster, and didn’t really get too far with the projects I was working on at the time, but I certainly learned a lot of basic film making skills, terminology, and a lot about the film making process–and a lot of other knowledge I still use almost daily.

Jason, and everyone else from the old days: Thanks for helping to facilitate such an important part of my upbringing, and for building the foundation of my career!

Not sure how many people here actually remember me. I kind of go way back. Back to even the ezboard days and then over to this forum. But for some reason I just figured I’d drop by and see what everyone was up to and I can honestly say I’m sad to see the board no longer in existence. I was going through my closet the other day, opening boxes of stuff from when I moved many years ago and came across my garb (X-Wing helmet and coveralls) I had purchased for the long planned, but never created Tales from the Holocron project. But anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Hello to those who remember me. Take care.

At home I was able to have a look with web.archive.org and found a bunch of old names I’d forgotten:

Jedi_Rory, Saint Storyteller, Kreve Streak, Jedi Roara, goddess, Darth Brass, Tater, Han_Duet, Jareth Dakk and Tcheb.

Remember ScottMiddlebrook? and Dorkmanscott, and who can forget DMAN. KepowOb, and EdgeofNowhere. There was Anrev, and Bryan, and Crunchy, and sledgeweb.

I remeber Pszabo99, Xecuter666, Andrew Breecher, Jarn Tal and Khyron.

So many names. So many memories.

End of an era for sure Dave.

The enthusiasm of youth must give way to the realities of life.

It was a long ride. It was a good ride. So many laughs. So much creativity. So many dreams, some fulfilled, others not. But it was great to share those dreams with all of you. It made them seem more real.

It brings a smile to my face when I think of all the kids who have now grown up. I think of Sh4rk and Zayn, and DMaul who were mature beyond their years.

I remember the old guard. Names like Movie Maximus, Douz and G’rn, Clay, Hermes, AlanSmithee, NetVudu, Wondernerd, Melvil, SovereignKnight, Jason R.J.M., Jedi2016. (I’m forgetting so many, but google cache won’t show anything from fanfilmsforum.com and my work is blocking wayback machine).

Hats off to Japheth for creating our common home and to Palamedes for safeguarding it until now. I completely understand your decision, as sad as it makes me. (is it available in read-only mode somewhere, there was a wealth of information in those posts).

Cheers to you all. Hope you are well and happy.

I too drifted away. I got busy with life.

But I miss many of the people on here. A big chunk of you were around when I was still high school – and that was a long time ago.

Hit me up on my facebook or send me an email and I’ll let you know what I’ve been up to!
