I've been feeling nostalgic for the past few days and looking through old posts on TEFc, and after a conversation with AA, we started to wonder if people would still remember aspects of the 'old' TEF, the way it was before roughly halfway through 2009, before things started to change. So we pretty much decided to make a blog with 'An old TEFer would remember these...' and then a list. It'd be awesome if people could help out with that, maybe share some of your old times.
Remember these?
- Drupal. Goddamn DRUPAL. Don't even talk to me about Drupal. |8
- Walter and 21
- Her, Fayne, Sarie, Raku, Fenqua, Trinket...
- Lieka and her many, many deer
- The old TEFc layout
- Deer didn't have to be realistic, and there were almost no 'feral' deer
- When gay stags were a serious minority and not all over the place
- The start of a flow of 'aggressive' deer, which many didn't take kindly to
- When the skulldeer started to creep up
- Artistic appearances were much simpler and more Endless Forest-y, mostly just what you saw inforest with a few original quirks
- There were very few canine or non-cervine characters, and those that were made were usually frowned upon at first
- Relationships between deer were much simpler. There was a lot less roleplaying involved; you could spend a week inforest with someone and just know your character loved them.
- Mates having fawns was very rare
- The Rut didn't exist
- There was less drama really, but when there was drama, it was blown out of proportion every time, and it was usually about things we accept as normal now
- The community site had 'dead hours', where you'd literally spend about 3 hours just waiting for a new post
- Everyone pretty much knew eachother
- Having more than two deer was quite rare for a while
- People would write stories involving other people's characters, if they requested
- If you posted something about sex, you'd be LYNCHED. If I (Dannii) had posted 'kid's games' three years ago, I would have been murdered for it.
- When the update blogs started, oh god.
- Everyone used to post memes and quizzes all the time
- You could post whatever the hell you liked. The front page wasn't full of biographies/roleplays/etc.
- There was no CSS
- Sluggs and his glitches!
- Sometimes you'd log on and there would be about five deer inforest, all of them asleep
- Minis were very rare
But falling in the pond was
I played look a like not so
And we made some huge Deerpiles too .

I remember a time when Walter was a womaniser and noone had a problem with it, lol. And he used to literally be a Gazelle.

I only have this one tiny thing of fawn Hal in the window:
Draak; Yes, I figured you
Yes, I figured you talked about an earlier year, which is why I'd let you know the house had appeared again. :'b

You could be right, I honestly don't remember which year it was. :')

Pfft, no worries, I probably worded myself in a strange way. cx

The file says I edited this
The file says I edited this screenshot in 2013. So it was definitley there that year.
I joined TEF in 2012. I loved it back then. Those first years must have been beautiful. They sound like the TEF I like the most.
