XL1!

Nostalgia. 







Hope they're visible after clicking on them. Tried to dig deeper for 2008 stuff but no luck.

[thehighlord]

Oh, those are very visible. And very nostalgic. 
I love these

[cya6]

Is that what it looked like?

[aelitaxwilliam]

I SEE MY USERNAME!!!
Im going to cry

when i spilled water on my old laptop (I know, I know...), I lost alllll the screenshots I had of the first yay war and then one of the spam sessions where the three of us basically shat over the entirety of XL-good times, good times. so, it's really nice to see these!

(and oh my god, do I see the boathouse? and Kitty's name in green??)

[thehighlord]

way way back in the day. 
legend has screen caps of the forum from back before it was even a whole year old. 
its like, xana's lair version 1.1.2

[Guest]

Some good discussions were going on ^^



Remember your old filthy crimes of stories (jk... they weren't that filthy).



And ofc this lol. Can anyone recall the winners?

[thehighlord]

I see two of m stories!
And April fools 5!

That's awesome.

[Guest]

The april fools series was epicness concealed in epicness.

EDIT: John, those are from August 9/10 2009. I believe it's from more than a year since the forum was established. Some shots are of outdated sections, that may have been why you were confused.

EDIT2:

My awesome sigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look at that forest sector beauty.

Oh my god, I was such an arse back then. *remembers* But there were awesome times.

I declare the anthem for XL1 to be 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables'!

DID SOMEONE SAY THE BOATHOUSE!!!!!

that was where we got like, flurple (??) AND ORKENS! and I think we all had dragons at one point. omgggggg

and UGH THERE'S MY INTRO TOPIC. remember when i was just shadows because my email absolutely hated this site and i literally had to register three times for everything to work and once i did work Rai couldn't see my intro post so it took like, another week and at that point i had almost just given up on the deal

that was also during my characterdeath/angst phase (all the stories are like...gone now)

[aelitaxwilliam]

okay I'm assuming you guys all know the stages of grief right?? like the most referenced one is the one where there's denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance

I'd almost gotten to acceptance before SOMEONE decided to posta bout orkens and flurple and then I got all sad all over again because oh god I miss us

omg, I just went on our old ffn account im going to cry

"After two long and painful wars on XANA's Lair 1, us three now co-own the word yay, and any of its children (yayz, yayful, yayfully). We are the Yay Company - Kae and Shadows are the bosses, and Binary's the shareholder. We also own the colour flurple. We adore spamming on XANA's Lair. You guys should really check it out. It's a great fansite for Code Lyoko fans, friendly, and small. And the mods are accessible. Huge spam sessions so far: October 29 2009, March 21 2010, June 28 2010, July 1 2011 (this one most tragically and depressingly sans Binary), July 29 2011 (a mini one, but the first one we've had in a while) These inspired titles. Spam Empress Kae, Spam Princess Shadows, Spam King Binary. Yayz."

asdfghjkl;

we were the most adorable hands down (okay but today on tumblr, we had a mini thing going with six replies and i just go really  nostalgic- can we please have a 100 reply thing going on and lose all of our followers?)

[Guest]

Despite it not being the best way to organize, I miss infinite pages of general chat. Infinite pages of pretty much any topic.

[juejue]

Whoaa it looked so different back then, I can hardly believe it! Is that really what it looked like? ^-^ wowww!

[Coto524]

XL1 was awesome, but it was admittedly a lot less organised and the amount of chaos that went down there was unbelievable. YayCo were responsible for a large portion of that, although I'd like to point out that we joined quite late compared to lots of the others.

Also, back then I believe you could customise it to one of many themes when you were logged in.

[memoire-blanche]

Whoa, that brings memories. D:
Those screenshots are from before my time... I don't even remember that theme. I used to be much more active member back then. The forum was smaller and easier to follow. I kinda miss that. At the same time I don't say I do not appreciate the progress this community made since back then ^^'

[Guest]

Memo, you are ordered to be more active. NOW!

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

meeeeemmmmooooooo

~hi~

the theme I had was like super dark, I think. I just feel like I remember that. Maybe a dark blue?

[Guest]

Can't remember using anything other than the theme in the screenshots on the first page.
