No, I actually tried earlier and couldn't.

:c

Which is probably for the best, but still.

For the people who want to go on the forums, that sucks. :c

Haha yeah most people on there probably needs a break anyway lmao. Still, I wonder what's going on

No idea. :'D

I actually remember my first year there, it was down so often that you had backup forums. xD Tales of Reservia? xD

But then it didn't go down and hasn't for so long...xD

Haha yup. It's been more stable lately. Maybe they're actually updating yeah probably not

Haha probably not. xD

Can you imagine if Namco actually decided to do that? Or get rid of it?

HOW COULD WE EXIST ROFL

Maybe I'd actually do something with my life

lol nope, because plurk is here when ToSF isn't, and there are a million other sites.
And someone would probably just make another reserve forum, hurhur

Have you checked recently? xD
I haven't bothered. I really don't want to go there for my own reasons.

Nope.

It still isn't working. And I was in the middle of editing a post too. >=(

Man, I hate being terrible but I cannot wait to see how this plays out if the forums are gone for more than 24 hours.

Someday, Namco will remember us.

But for now, we are the Lost People.

The Forgotten Ones.

But we will survive. We always have.

Like cockroaches, that's what we are.

Annoying, disgusting, and tenacious.

Well, even sprays and exterminators won't get rid of you.

They'll have to cut off your food supply.

Stop releasing Tales and burn all unowned (and therefore unprotected) copies of any Tales games.

NO MORE FOR YOU

After several years of Tales starvation, all of you will move on.

Find someplace else to dwell.

Disperse. Leave the Namco nest.

Never!

We'll be homeless. ;-;

I actually was kind of thinking, "Where will Tales forum be in ten years" because everyone will pretty much be adults so they'd either stop coming or whatever?

Most of the regulars have been there for years. GD fills up with wedding discussions, children, etc.

sob

Or people going, "I wish that was me" like me? xD

Except the wedding thing, I don't know about that.

Not sure I'm jealous of MARRIED PEOPLE

Is TosF even still down? :'D

Some of us are phasing out, yes.

Lunar has a life too. I can't imagine what the forums are going to be like when he starts living his.

Namco has forgotten us, so no replacement admins or mods.

Haha. Well.

I'm sure some people will stick around. I don't know how many people on the forums have left after getting married/having children already.

Probably very few at this point, but give it five or ten years, and you'll see a huge difference if the forums are still around by that point in time.

Yup...

Well, everyone will still be in contact with each other I'm sure.

Well, some might be. I'm sure people fall out of contact in that amount of time, but you and me and Moonie had better still be talking, along with others. xD

Yes xD

Roadie's disappearing again, but I still better be in contact with her and Xic as well.

You lot are never going to escape.

OH NOES

lol

Apparently they're doing a cleanup so it'll be back up \o/ Don't know when though.

oooh. Cleanup? Namco themselves? or the mods? I didn't think the mods could take down the forums xD

Namco themselves XD The forum is kind of ancient by now so I wouldn't mind something more modern. I'd miss that blue old box, thouugh

Oh haha
I would love if Namco finally updated the place. It seems stale and could use some freshening up. \o/

Indeed. I'd hate to lose my post count though. Although I*m not sure if it's something to be proud of haha

Namco's actually cleaning up?

Doing work?

GIVING US ATTENTION?

Nah, I don't think that they would take that away. :c

Supposedly. Not sure what they'll actually do though

Huh

At most, make the forums look tidy, put some security measures in place.

Probably something we can't see.

Yeah

Update it that way. Not delete existing accounts. :c

Hopefully :3

Though I wouldn't mine having my post count disappear. :')

Why?

I look back and cringe at my old self.

I cringe very hard.

aww ^^; well, I do too haha

Oh. :c

at my stuff I mean

I think everyone does that...

I was such a dorky fangirl when I first joined

Has anyone ever seen Ryke's early posts?

Haha, I didn't know how to interact with people. ):

THAT is a hoot

LOL

never checked haha

I haven't either. But I can imagine.

I think he mentioned it once...?

I only know because someone linked him in GD to his intro post

ah lol

It was ^__^ and giddiness and...well, nothing like the same Ryke we know...

I never made an intro post.

But I like ^__^

Lunar keeps it in style.

I like it too, but imagine overusage of it by Ryke

IIRC

He was super giddy and silly and I think he threw in fangirl Japanese

I think it was generally overused back then. Internet iteslf has matured somehow XD

All I remember was SHOCK at seeing it

Oh man. xD

"lol that can't be the same Ryke"

Well, most of us were children or older teens when we joined.

I was 16 going on 17.

...That song.

which song?

Sound of Music I think. My brother's girlfriend is into it.

Yup

ah XD

ugh I need to do homeowrk so I better close my browser ;w; I get distracted too easily. See you later <3

Okay. Bye!

See you later! Take care <3
