Hey there everyone. This is a post for all of the 'olbies' who are still alive!

Ok, so this is how it works. If you're ever feeling nostalgic about times from the JA, come to this post and, well, write them down. For everyone to see! Just as a fun-time.

Everyone welcome, but the old-time memories are most welcome.
enjoy.

You know you're an oldbie when you have to find DJ Sith on Discord to let you back into your account because you forgot the password several years ago.

Thanks DJ :D

You know you're an olbie when you feel Nostalgic, load up this forums map, then realize some Jawas and Scoundrels still inhabit the forums.

I only seem to log here once every couple of years but I will never forget this place.

The people here at the time were so incredibly welcoming and helpful, even when I was being a nuisance for which I paid by receiving multiple bans. I remember it was never anything serious, plus the older, wiser members seemed to deal with me as one would with any unruly child. I was always welcomed back with no grudges and the punishment felt like a timeout more than anything.

Why am I rambling about disciplinary actions taken against me? Well, for me this place and the people here represented a code of conduct, a type of focused discipline, a level of maturity unrivaled anywhere else in my life both on- and offline. As sad as it sounds I needed a place like this in my life. A place where I respected how others carried themselves but at the same time they weren't my parents and I had to figure me out on my own.

Despite - or perhaps because of - the discipline this community practiced, we managed to have tons of fun and enjoy so much more than just the games that brought us here. This place was a level playing field and it encouraged a lot of creative projects by its members, for its members. The sum total content that's been produced here - the holocron project, events, articles, radio shows, maps&mods&skins just to name a few - is an astonishing accomplishment everyone should feel very proud of.

I'm now 31 but to be honest, 2003 doesn't seem that long ago. I suppose the countless memories this place holds will make sure it never will.

Thank you, you're all incredible.

Hey guys, fun fact: The guild that we started when SWTOR first launched is very active and has a whole bunch of members. I'm pretty sure most of them don't know anything at all about this site or our community, but I still think of it as sort of a spiritual successor to the JA.

I couldn't escape the nostalgia and was trying to google the old [JO] clan and ended up here. Would like to get back into contact with some of you guys to catch up and game.
