• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Love coming here when I'm feeling a little down or hit by a boredom I can't shake, even if there's not much going on. It's just comforting being here and it makes me regret not being a little more active back in the day. Thanks for the good times everyone. I hope we have a chance to make more.

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    Looked up some info about a guy who used to host a Magic podcast I listened to and found his personal blog on WordPress. The blog has been deleted and the last entry was 2016 which I found on the Wayback Machine. I specifically was looking for the entry where he talks about getting and leaving a...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    Along a similar vein, Cartoon Network had Cartoon Cartoons around the same time featuring a lineup of all-time greats. That got me thinking about watching Adult Swim in the early 2000s. They're still around and still doing well, but I can't believe they put together such a good mix of Western...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    I had a copy of Lego Island from a book fair. It's an ambitious game thinking back on it. I'm not sure there were open world adventure games aimed at children back then. It ran pretty badly on the family computer though (it did not run well on most computers in 1997) so I never finished it...

    Is there anyone else still here?

    Nah vBulletin is still around, the other forum I mentioned uses it. The difference is that you have to host it yourself since vBulletin is just the software. InvisionFree handled hosting and software. I assume that's why they went out of business, because I'm not sure how they made money. Ads I...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    Saw another video that got me thinking again: Tech kinda stopped being exciting at some point and I may have touched on it earlier here. At some point the Consumer Electronics Show stopped being exciting. Last thing I remember was thinking the foldable OLEDs were cool. Consoles stopped being...

    invisionfree.com is now a hentai website so be careful if you try and go there. I would love to meet whoever ran that service because it was so important to us. Low key miss the drama of power struggles and going off onto your own forum on a whim.

    Is there anyone else still here?

    Great to see familiar faces around! It's wild to see the messages on my profile from 10-12 years ago. I look at my join date and think about just how much I've changed and how much internet communities have changed. I didn't participate much on Himeuta so I don't have any real memories, just...

    Is there anyone else still here?

    Funny to read all this after I found out a few days ago another forum I used is going to shut down on February 1st unless people step in to help maintain it due to the owner being unable to afford to continue hosting it, having little interest in the forum, and not being interested in donations...

    Who's your favourite human character?

    The people who make the human characters in Pokemon need to make a dating sim or something because they seriously throw out banger after banger. Even the normal trainers are terrific

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    This video came across my Twitter feed, more good stuff that makes you pine for the old internet It was weird to watch because my old roommate did some games journalism and wrote for some Gamurs Group sites, most notably Destructoid. Well, he eventually got laid off from Gamurs after the...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    Okay so some of my friends and some people on Facebook started talking about it recently so I'd like to see if anyone here has some thoughts. There's was a great Facebook post last month after E3 died. Here's a screenshot of it. There's definitely something missing about games culture nowadays...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    A MtG cosplayer asked for 5 video games that changed your life on Twitter, and aside from my other 4 (RollerCoaster Tycoon, Football Manager, Dance Dance Revolution, and Street Fighter IV), I wasn't sure if I wanted to list Pokemon Blue or Pokemon Silver. It's like, yeah Blue launched me on a...

    Would you be into Pokémon if it came out today?

    The modern games hold your hand for a little too long and the anime, I mean, I like some of the later generations but I don't know if I could really get into it without that lifelong attachment. The trading card game is still good but I find it hard to actually support playing a TCG besides...

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    There's probably a lot of peculiar reasons the American market just went differently. I was born in 1991, I can't say for sure aside from what I hear from older people. For one, when you're a cultural juggernaut yourself I can imagine it being harder to bring in foreign shows. We have Disney...

    Probably gonna continuously drop some thoughts here that I'm too shy to post on socials about (hey a callback to an earlier post) A long time ago I watched hazel's video about America's Greatest Otaku, Tokyopop's goofy reality show. It's great, I recommend it (the actual show maybe less so)...

    One of my friends got a bunch of recommendations for video essayists and one of them is hazel, who mostly does anime videos. She has a video about video game and anime fansites if you want more Web 1.0 goodness: She shouts out TRsRockin at the end

    What are you currently feeling nostalgic about?

    Doing some necro because someone on twitter shared a screenshot of Pokemon Crater, where I frequented a forum for the first time ever. Truly a life changing experience that sent me down a path that led me here. Funny thing, Magic: the Gathering has kind of the opposite problem. The magicTCG...
