Old thread revivals for new EAB members!
After seeing Rattus's post asking who Marz was, I thought that some of the new(ish) members to EAB should see some of the history of EAB & about the longtime members & "infamous" members of this board. However, I really have to give credit to Fred & Bloodwych who've discussed this topic before, so rather than take any credit,I suggest you look here instead....
For Fred's "The History of EAB" http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5621 And Bloodwych's great "Threads you considered Gems" http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4017 And another short though historical thread.... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=505 And last but no least, although not done by Marz himself, I think anyone who remembers him will appreciate this classic thread by Codetapper!!   http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ght=Robot+Wars Maybe we should give thought to a "History of EAB"....-revive Fred's post & discuss it!! |

Sadly, many early Cody threads have been lost forever, due to deletion by barbarians!
The discovery of the very first carved-in-stone EAB message thread. The news that New Zealand Story's Tiki The Kiwi was not a kiwi thread. And the more recent Cody's Amazing News Stories 1. They exist now only in the memories of all who were there!  |

Here's a couple more threads to add....
"Game Endings" by Tim... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...0&pagenumber=1 And another classic topic thread by Fred.... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...0&pagenumber=1 @Cody. Don't tell me that classic "1st posting" got deleted! That backdrop to it was so funky-surely RCK must have it somewhere! EDIT: Just found an example from the archives of Akira & Marz engaged in another witty,intellectual debate! C'mon Akira,you miss him don't you?! http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1525 And Marz calmly reacting to a possible Miggy fault.... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1568 And here's a classic Akira thread "How does your game room look like?" http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1726 Last edited by 7-Zark-7; 12 November 2002 at 07:18. |

This is when Marz tried to return as RentACoke, after being banned, and Cody The White had to sacrifice his life for the good of the EAB Fellowship:
Nick Faldo's Golf - Ministry crack (It all got nasty at the end, but it was all sorted out and everyone lived happily ever after! Er, except Marz) |

felt like a right idiot after jumping to Marz's aide without first getting all the facts, like his IP address and hostname, which the Moderators had before exposing who Rent-a-coke really was.I wonder if we shall ever see Rapman again?? His reaction was extremely funny (to me anyway). And this should be a lesson to us all, ALWAYS have the full facts before making an ass of yourself Last edited by Ian; 12 November 2002 at 12:03. |

@Ian. Everytime I read that thread, I think of The Simpsons episode where Homer's been banned from Moe's tavern & a well-dressed Homer-a-like character goes into Moe's the night after..
"Homer, who is theeese Homer?" Thanks for that thread Cody, any further one's from the archives mods? Search your old threads/replies & see what's survived! Found 3 more threads.... Steve's "The Amiga's most Bizarre games... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1551 Another great Bloodwych thread "The EAB oldtimers thread" http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5628 And Twistin' talks about the "Birds 'N Bees"!!! http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2634 EDIT: Also thought to add what must still rank as the most requested Amiga game to this day.... Riempe's "A tiny bit of Putty Squad news"... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...0&pagenumber=1 John Twiddy, I'm sure there's some members here who'll happily volunteer to try & find your sourcecode files/disks etc.!

Oh yeah, of course the MSX Thread! Half of my posts here in EAB were there
The MSX is the best 8 bits machine ever, the C64 couldn't stand a chance, etc etc, continues my usual rant against every 8 bits system and defending the MSX |

Yep, the C64 couldn't stand a chance-only sold million's worldwide made Commodore a success, & produced classics like Creatures, Creatures 2, Turrican, Turrican 2, Last Ninja triology, Stunt Car Racer, Paradroid, Nebulus, Pitstop 2, Summer Games, etc. & the list goes on....okay never saw an MSX system personally here in Oz, but happy to back the C64 anyday!! |

This was quite an interesting thread:
CAPS appearing at Extreme Computing 2002 ! It featured a link to a terrible photo of me and this cool photo of some of my rare games. |

I think he learned how to spell the name properly and is feeling very proud of himself. We should all support him on this. It's a big step when someone's able to finally spell thier name right.

I just read the following old thread with one of the first (the first?) mentions of CAPS (now SPS) on EAB: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=1701. The reception was rather, shall we say... cautious?
I thought it was an interesting read, so I hereby revive this thread once again.
