It is interesting to see where we've all ended up, but attempting to observe myself writing this, I think I say this every time I make a random annual visit... and as years have passed since I felt Battle.net "died," it's nice to know how things are going with some of the people I used to talk to.  After all, we are all humans!

Nice to see people are alive.  After some other searching around, I noticed that the Battle.net wiki I was talking about some time ago actually did get put up, but it doesn't look like people are using it.

Haha I tend to do that often at real parties, no joke.  In fact, I've brought up RaiBot in real conversations within the past three years to talk about my "glory days" online, confusing the hell out of people, and now there's an ongoing joke reference to RaiBot being able to do all sorts of things like kill people and microwave dinner.  I have a good heart!  It's 2pm here, so it looks like being about 12 time zones away from everyone else doesn't help for active discussion

For those who might've remembered the last time I played around on these forums, it's obvious nothing went through with that (the Battle.net wiki).  I was just wondering... since it's been three years since I "left," what in the hell has everyone been doing?  I'm not addressing anyone in particular, but if you knew or knew of me, that helps.  I'm not going to mention people I "know" for you to know who I am because this topic is open for everyone.

I worked on "RaiBot" which I discontinued three years ago for two reasons. 
1. The server crashed while I was *here* (in Bangladesh, visiting relatives and whatnot) in the summer of 2004, and communication via Internet wasn't easy to access. 
2. Fall 2004 came by, and I started going to college.

I'm in Bangladesh this summer, so I've found the time to check in and see what's going on / up / etc.

Anyway, I started rolling back around here since I started working on "RaiBot" again, so reminiscing has been on my list of things to do (not to mention I have a lot of free time now).  So... what's everyone been doing?  I'd really like to know... just for the sake of knowing.  If we ever talked before, that helps more.  If we haven't, that's cool as well.  I guess I'd really like to know what's changed because it's been a long time, and I don't think I asked this the last time I browsed around here.

MF, congrats.  To the rest of you, this thread is hiliarious

yep, i still use aim.  sometimes i log on to msn.

as for the database thing, i was thinking more like a repository that strictly holds certain information like a person ID, his/her organizations on battle.net, his/her awards/developments.  i suppose the 'network' feature of facebook is nice.  as for setting up the way a 'clan' / organization exists, i was thinking about somehow getting in touch with some set of clan/organization leaders and having them post a 'clan history,' and then people could cast an accuracy vote for the entry.  the hardest part about the whole system is getting in touch with people who can contribute, but the purpose of the system is to get in touch-- we have to start small and then expect it to spread.  those are just some ideas.  as for time contribution, i know i wouldn't be able to do this alone, but i figure keeping it in mind is what counts for when people can sort out when to make this.  it's a pretty complex project.

yep, that's what i was thinking about, but it would have to be organized independently.  wikipedia has some details on things with 'battle.net,' but it's way off from what i had in mind.  i'm thinking about something social and something somewhat interactive.  i'll try to think of something soon.  a registry would be a better idea than a wiki.  meh, only like two people responded to my primary question, what's been 'happening' since 2004?

i thought about doing model UN in college, decided against it. cool that you played them.

i guess what is on topic here is discussing where we were and where we're at now.  if anyone's interested in what i proposed above, let me know.

i think this would be a great way for people to get in contact with others they thought were forever lost (those who would want to remain forever lost would be if no one has records of them).

i wish i did-- i have no idea where they went.

i do remember _FF.  yep, ross was very committed, i haven't talked to him in a long time.  i definitely remember iRoN, and i'm sure he'd remember me.  masta looks familiar as well.  it's just so strange to remember these things and to remember that all of these things are part of my life history in some way.

it has been a long while.

same thing as what?

hi everyone,

since i haven't been around, i was wondering what everyone's been up to, what people are doing, etc.  this place seems to be the only existing medium (that i use, i don't use IRC) for communicating with anyone i knew on battle.net.  so, if you'd like, feel free to summarize anything you'd like from your perspective that has happened in the past two years.  normally i'd send a private message, but this seems to be the best way to reach out to most of those people i'd try to contact, and i figured it might be fun for people to discuss some of the past.

i left my response to this question in the thread i made in the aim bot development forum-- the summary of that being that i became uninterested in the battle.net scene once i was getting ready to go off to school.

No, and that's why I'm focusing on (hopefully) Electrical and Computer Engineering.  However, I could easily do well in Computer Science.  I just didn't choose Computer Science.  I would've taken the course in high school just the same if it was named Computer Math.  If you're horrible in mathematics, pursuing in just about anything such as life is a horrible idea </sarcasm>.
