The days before Echani became the man he is now... such innocence. S’what he wanted you to think.

I remember getting a PM about joining the NR a few years back because I had "gained favor" with those there or something like that lol
Never really posted much there though, since most of the topics I could discuss there were also here. Plus the games were still going on, so I eventually forgot about that place. Honestly, I feel like our forum is almost too bizarre and random for people on JCF to want to join, and there was a more mature vibe on NR, so they might have looked down on this site in general.

So I did not find any screenshots... But I did find this... umh... interesting video from back when I first discovered Photo editing and Windows moviemaker...
This actually predates the first use of Pinda in any of my usernames... so I guess it's part of my username origin story...

It was a little weird to look through the thread about me and my brother joining and see all the "I'll allow it" posts from people I never talked to. I remember that one kiddo who claimed he was in a mental health clinic and stole his phone back to keep posting didn't want me to be able to join.

I think his name was... idk he was weird and pretty toxic but the mature guys like FB and Nam insisted we give him a chance, so they must have believed there was something going on with him in real life. I mean he shouldn't be allowed to vote on membership choices and ultimately his denial didn't stop you from getting accepted. But yeah one of the other members of the forum met him in real life and they were dating for awhile but I think she got out because he actually had problems or something. Honestly I never really fit in much on the NR I don't think, if it wasn't for Zuma and I both having a strong interest in the NHL discussions I might have abdandoned the place as well. But he's a cool guy.

I feel like I remember that kron dude was perving on some 13 year old or something... idk what exactly happened but it was pervy Nah, I think he was a teen at the time too. It felt more like some naïve online dating stuff that, naturally, did not last. Wasn't Kron on the Nexus Route at one point? I'm sure if Kron was making advances Firebird wouldn't have added him. Although I never saw the posts so maybe he did or it was before my time before Septmeber 2012. Yeah I was pretty sure he was pretty trusted and respected. Are we having our own #MeToo movement? He was a pretty good friend during the time I knew him. Like I said, I think it was just the one time he paired off with that girl, Eloise I think her name was, which ended as quickly as it began and that was it. And given the standards FB set for NR users, I highly doubt Kron was ever any pervy fellow and was the one person who slipped through the net (okay, second, if you count Jodo ). To be honest I wish we still had him around. He had a really good novel idea going on and I wanted to know more about it Oh btw if anyone didn't notice... Tater has logged on in the last 24 hours. I reached out to him in SWGOH saying we were wondering where he's been. Guess he just wanted to let us know hes alive lol. That divine potato continues his epic quest for total control and immortality... Potato is Zaros. He is the ruler of this forum but he is slowly withdrawing, leaving the moderatores to rule in his place. He is still watching, but his post history is empty. All hail the Empty Admin. Yeah to be honest we actually know very little about Tater. A very mysterious fellow indeed. Although we know he lives or used to live in Denver, Colorado. Now he is in South Park. NR was too elitist. That's probably why they are dead now. But yeah, I think most older SW.com users joined NR, while the younger people went here mostly. Dang I had just turned 14 when we started this place. Damn. Yeah, but you were one surprisingly mature 14 year old at that

I believe the guys there figured out he was lying about some of his personal circumstances. He tried defending himself, but in the end he wound up banned. EDIT: Joupena, I mean, like Newan said

The sympathetic side of me hopes he's doing better, but you can't ever be certain, heck, even know of these sorts of things.

I was wondering the same thing, so I looked his name up on Google and it seems like he did not jump off a tower. Joupena does not seem to be a commonly used username based on the amount of results I got, and I got a few results related to Star Wars, the most recent being from December 2017. So I guess that may be him.

At least that's what I'm guessing happened unless they had different IP's on NR.

Her user name was Ahsoka or Tano with numbers or something
