Hello folks, hope everyone is doing great today…

This is one of them “back in my day” posts, reader be warned.

Just like many others, I used to be very active in the old forum between 2012 and 2016, and I just wonder if anybody is still around and well.

In case anyone from back then is here and remembers, I am the guy that had printed two custom t-shirts with drawings someone had created digitally and uploaded on the forum, one of Duvessa putting Dowan in a headlock and one of Gastrodon. I wish I could find the person that drew those and thank them again. I believe I still have the one with the Elf twins, though it’s very worn out.

Last week I had a kidney surgery and I am going to be off work for a while now. So I have been asking chatgpt about dcss a lot today and it even referenced minmay, which made me laugh. That guy was truly iconic. Then I started looking for our old forum.

As you can see in the image, fragments of our old threads can be found on archive.org, but the posts I have tried to load snapshots of are inaccessible, sadly. I’d love to see our old content!

And I miss our custom titles!!! Mine was “Eringya’s Employee”. Thank you, Grimm, for bestowing that title to me. It’s been ten years, hope our dear Mountain Dwarf is still kicking.

The old Tavern sure brings back memories. I used to be active there as well back in the day…

Gosh I feel like every game I end up playing I missed the golden age of. I only got into DCSS in 2021 or so. And didn’t get on a forum until last year.

Yeah, I believe I remember your username. Were you using a mangrove sprite?

some usernames I vividly remember were:

@tasonir the Naga of Chei transmutations specialist (very fond of statue form)

myothehedgefox the super wholesome friendly Russian dude who told me about obscure games like Space Rangers and Eador, and brought chiptune music to my attention

Cerebovssquire - very passionate about game mechanics

Grimm - MDFi enthusiast, later became a mod, great dude in general

Were you using a mangrove sprite?

I believe I had the same sprite as here.

Well, that was a different user then, but it’s good to hear from other players. Man, my first games of dcss were on 0.6 and all I remember is… tons of bees.

My first version was Linley’s Dungeon Crawl 3.2.0 :)
