- galvatron fancies the idea of opening his own gallery, but then quickly loses interest.
- instituting the worst rule ever; by this i mean the 50 character filename limit on pics uploaded to the UG. This rule has greatly diminished the amount of evil artistic impact that is meant to be conveyed through the morphs. (i call this the "we hate Galvatron's filenames rule")    




Pity on the first one there, it would have been very easy for you to maintain and of course no file name limit I do believe

As to the second one, well unfortunatly your rather entertaining yet wordy titles were really messing up the gallery layout so they had to be changed. Bummer that there was no way to really get the long names to just wrap.

Also there were others who were being abusive of the comments area and this came about at the same time. was not directly targeted at you

BTW offer of a gallery still stands Oh Mighty Galvatron.

Actually.....two things that coincided with Imaginos taking control....the late 2002 influx of some new and very talented artists that contribute terrific galleries here......and the 2003 "princess parade". It seems that (and we think its largly because of Imaginos and his moderators) this forum has become a place that women fell comfortable with....and we added Vixen, Sofia, and Keisha....to go along with our own Melonie and Christine (now if we can just get Sable and Harmony back)....

Granted...these "events" happened over time...but they happened non-the-less.

This place rocks

Thank you. We (myself and the moderators and really the more unified forum goers) have tried to make this a more friendly place for everyone.

We all have this fetish and should enjoy the fact that others do too and not deride them but welcome them and we have seen a LOT of new ladies showing up here. RandomX, Dusk, Pink, The ladies mentioned above, Debbie, Ryee, and many more.

As Bruce would say "Its Guuuuddddd"

Not sure if it was the forum crash in '97 referred to, but some years ago during an upgrade of the site software, ALL of the hundreds of thousands of forum posts were wiped clean and we had to start over. Still bothers me. The end of BEhavior http://www.bearchive.com/~behavior/ also is one of our community's darker events IMHO. I miss Judge Oaf, Franz (of F&K) and many other of our early brethren who have parted ways with our community.


Positive highlights: Imaginos' commencement of curatorial duties, hundreds of interesting and entertaining conversations here, and dozens of great folks met and enjoyed. And also, the Halloween '99 issue of BEhavior: http://www.bearchive.com/~behavior/v2n17/


A few of the archive links from the wayback machine that I clicked to see bits of BEA preserved as if in amber were blocked, reportedly by the site owner's request. Didn't know if that was the case or not... just curious in case Imaginos knows something about this or if it predates his management?


From 1998:

   




Hmmm that one has to predate me as to the blocking and is news to me.

Heh the original site was a sea foam green / teal type of color Then we moved to a mostly black listing with dk blue, then to a few more blues and a slightly lighter background and then to the current design. On the horizon is the new members look once the bugs are worked out.

I too miss Behavior

I think we should do a 2003 Halloween event like we had in BeHavior. I can set up an upload script for people to donate images to and can supply some women who can be morphed from our image collection. Say maybe 10-20 images that people can choose from. Of course our lovely ladies here are welcome to donate images in costumes or just for morphing.

Actually I was strangely able (for a while) to access a working version of "Bet for B.E." from the archive.org site.

When did Subbie disappear?  I remember her still posting as late as this winter holiday season and well into Valentines (around the time when I dissappeared).

Subbie is still around .. but she has her own site (and I think forum .. it went away, but may have come back) ... her last post here was in May ...

Note, she still does her twice a week chat/webcam (I think)

I got this e - mail from Judge Oaf

  Well hello there, gOOber,
 
Just a note to let you know that I'm still around
My company's got a very restrictive email policy, especially since 9-11.
If you remember my last few columns for gonZo's "BeHavior" webzine, and in the "Forum," you might recall that my company was doing some contract work in communications for the Defense Dept.
We are still at it; a goodly portion of what we designed was used in Iraq. We are currently making modifications and upgrades using the field-tested data feedback data we received. Nothing like real battlefield conditions to see if something works the way it should.
Say hello to all the gang there in the Forum; especially my fellow jurists, Judge Alicia and Judge Melonie.
I do so miss our, umm, "judicial review" sessions in chambers.
 
Judge Oaf
Senior Judge Emeritus of the Superior Court of the BeArchive  
 
....rejoicing in the fullness thereof....

Good to see the His Honor Judge Oaf is still around and kickin', dispensing justice in his own fashion.

How about these two momentous occasions:

Negative: The Departure of Corrine Meadowlark. A columnist in R&D, she left when someone used her name to post in the Forum. During the subsequent brouhaha, she decided that participation wasn't worth it anymore. It stunned a lot of us here at the time. I miss her.

Positive: The Addventure arrives at the BEA. Don't know when this happened, but it's definitely one of the key features here. A tip of the hat to Adama & the gang for keeping it going.

With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head.
