I started posting around 2012, mainly in the forum games. I got into some arguments with people back then because I was an immature teenager, I'm not sure why people put up with me honestly. I cringe looking back on my old posts.

The main thing I loved doing was making ascii art for people in the form of signatures. Unfortunately, I lost my drive to do so after the font change from Verdana to Museo Sans, and many others lost interest as well. Forum activity gradually just tapered off around then.

My last period of activity was around 2017 ish I believe. Recently, I decided to look at the forums again because I was feeling nostalgic. I have been posting a bit, but I am disheartened to see how inactive the forums are nowadays, and the ascii community is pretty much dead :(

RSOF back then was a great place to be. At times, it'd be more enjoyable than the game. It'd be the first place I'd log into. Browsing Rants, seeing all the crazy threads and even engaging with them myself was crazy. I messed around a lot back then as I was a lot younger. I'd say I just trolled for the most part. Trolling, or at least trying to cleverly troll, was a big part of Rants and honestly what made it so good to frequent. Posting back then was just "fun".

I met a few people from the forums that helped keep me interested in the game. The friends I had were decent at the time, but like most things, it did not last. Throughout my entire playing time, all friends I've made have come from the RSOF, never in-game. I barely publicly spoke in-game, but would always be extremely vocal on the forums. I've always found that a bit weird.

I vague remember some thing about the Dragon Medium Helmet. I cannot remember exactly what it was, but it was a thing among the Rants community.

I got permanently banned from the forums on this account twice. That's how crazy bans were back in the day. I was always fearful of bans because I knew the way I posted provoked constant bans. It really didn't take much to find yourself removed from the forums.

I don't have strong memories of my time back on RSOF like some do, but I do miss the activity. I wished it still had it to this day. It sucks the RSOF will never see such life ever again. When you think of RSOF, it's always going to be "what was" rather than "what is" or "what will be".

I still can't quite leave the forums even though I do not play the game any more. It just shows that there's still that forumer in me. It doesn't quite want to let go completely. .

Rants was certainly a dumpster-fire of toxicity and poorly created memes :P . This isn't to say the board hasn't improved too far, nowadays. To be expected, though!
