Sooooo, basically I put these boards up because I am a nostalgia addict, and I miss the PPN days like whoa. Now, my organizational skills are pretty much zero, so what I'm hoping is that if we get enough former citizens of PPN to join the People's Republic of New Papen, we can organize a good-old-fashioned reunion. Like a super special chat weekend, or something. I don't know. Let's just roll with that. Rolling is fun.
Anyone with any ideas more developed than mine, puh-leez say so.

I think an organized chat at some point sounds good. I'm sort of insanely busy right now with working two jobs and applying for new jobs since my full-time one ends at the end of October, but if I'm back in the underemployed club after the end of the month, I'd be up for helping out then. Until then, I'm happy with the boards... I'm really old-school, I guess, and my favorite PPN times were in the pre-chat era.

Most of my fond memories are of pre-chat board-spamming too, I think. (I actually found some of the saved chats, read over them, and was astounded by my own obnoxiousness.) It looks like it may take a while for the boards to grow, anyway, so I guess a chat-reunion can be safely postponed.

Heh, you are so not alone there... I look at some of the saved chats and wonder why anyone put up with me. I guess I can't expect too much of my 18/19 years old self.

What's hilarious to me is that, when I was on PPN, I was still pretty shy and quiet in RL. It's... well, it's a bit of a contrast, innit? Haha. Give me a keyboard and you won't be able to shut me up.

Since I don't have any chat logs, all I can go on is what I remember and I hope my memories are worse than the reality. Otherwise, I'd really have to wonder why some put up with me and my ridiculous self.

Sadly, in my case, I think the reality was actually worse than I remembered... but oh well! Gotta put your behind in your past.
....no, wait...

I didn't venture into the chat very often. I was a socially awkward penguin.
*still is a socially awkward penguin*

BUT WE LOVE SOCIALLY AWKWARD PENGUINS!
Actually, "socially awkward penguin" is pretty much the definition of people on the internet. Which is why we're all socially awkward. And dressed in tuxedos.

I'm thinking maybe sometime in January, after the holidays, we could try organizing a scheduled reunion. People will probably be less busy then. We could set up a poll here for people to select the time of the week that would be most convenient for them, let people know about the poll and upcoming reunion through other channels (LJ, FB, etc.), and then let people know when the reunion is actually scheduled (again through other channels... maybe with some kind of catchy little invitation).
I'd definitely be interested in this, but I know I won't have any time to devote to it until after New Years Day.

Sounds like a good plan, Eppie. I'm going to leave the FaceBook stalking advertising to people who actually have FB accounts, but I can attack via LJ again.
