The MSPAFA Lost & Found
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 4:28 pm
Not sure if this should be merged with this thread but I'll try posting this here anyway.
Ahem.
Everyone knows that the fate of the old MSPA Forums was incredibly tragic, right? That nobody had bothered to archive most of it before its sudden closure in the spring of '16? I'd like to guess that most of us were affected by it in some way, hence why this officially unofficial forum based off the OG forum exists. I, too, have been affected by the closure in a very strong way (in fact, it's probably one of the things I'm still vaguely salty about), so. I'd like to ask all of you a favor, even though it may be a hard one to fulfill:
Can you help me remember what forum adventures the following pictures and/or descriptions are from? I have a backup of my old laptop from somewhere around 2011, and thankfully I was smart enough to save some of the images I really liked from forum adventures I really liked. I'll be posting some images and descriptions from the adventures I remember, and I'm curious if any of you have archives of them, or at the very least if any of you remember them or what they were called.
Feel free to post your own recollections of forum adventures that have been lost in this thread, as well. I won't mind! It'll be like a little 'This Shit Is Why Archive Team Exists' party.
I'll start with three adventures of my own:
1.
Name: Writer's Block
Creator: ??? (maybe stickmasterluke? i don't remember)
Genre: Batshit Crazy
This was basically an adventure about some weirdo being trapped in a weirdo world that bends to the whims of its suggestions. Also there's an almost-naked old wizard in it, too. I remember laughing at this one a fair bit.
2.
Name: ???
Creator: ???
Genre: Canon-adjacent, Adventure
Basically the game ends and all the trolls somehow end up on the human kids' planet. Shenanigans ensue. I thought this adventure was cute, and the art was pretty pleasant, too.
3.
Name: ???
Creator: ???
Genre: Second-person Self-insert, Adventure
An adventure involving Hussie n' North as they try to ransack a nearby Homestuck fan-commune. They get lost along the way and end up at an Olive Garden somehow, I think.
4.
Name: ???
Creator: ???
Genre: UI-based
[no pictures available]
There was this other one I remember that was basically an adventure taking place on someone's OS desktop. Everything was aliased, and at one point the PC opened up a chat client to talk to someone else about werelions. The adventure didn't get very far, if I remember correctly.
===
These are the only adventures I can recollect so far. I may post about a couple other ones I remember that don't have pictures, too. I'm hoping that with the information I've given you all, maybe you can suss out a source for all the missing info on display here. I believe in you, MSPA Forums^2 community!!! I believe in yooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!!!! <DEAD>
