FFWA flame war

Can somebody enlist Paulo?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Feb 14, 2018 2:13 pm

Maybe the L in PauLo stands for Lethal Weapon.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 12:59 am

His 1337 karate moves make him a lethal weapon.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 1:22 am

He's been preemptively banned from the rest of the Internet. FFWA is the only site he can go to.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 1:40 am

This would explain some things.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Fri Feb 16, 2018 2:57 pm

It's probably true.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 9:19 am

FFWA is actually gone

Was I the last person to post? Did I win FFWA?
Any FFWA refugees are still welcome here btw. Email DAMIEN AT SQUAREGAMER DOT COM and I'll repurpose a bot account.

Wow. Plot twist.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:02 am

I messaged Man of TXT to see if he had any idea how this worked.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:04 am

Site is still there but forums are gone.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:10 am

Eagerly awaiting a news story on their homepage.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:32 pm

They're even worse with news stories than us. It's been like 3 years for them. Meanwhile we're putting out great articles every day.

I hope Paulo is okay

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Mar 10, 2018 3:03 am

You'd think they would at least get around to updating the main page to say something about the end of their forums. How did these guys even last this long? It doesn't seem like they care at all. I'm almost surprised the one guy even bothered to make a thread about their impending doom.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sat Mar 10, 2018 4:55 am

So... does this mean we won the flame war?

Paulo will never be okay. He has a black belt.

Surreal to come here and see a discussion of PauLo, a person I remember well from my FFWA days. Is FFWA really dead? Wow. You post at a place for over 15 years and they don't even say goodbye.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sat May 05, 2018 2:11 pm

It's gone. Forum crashed or something due to something about technology. All very sad.

Undine · Post by **Undine** » Sat May 05, 2018 4:30 pm

Way back in the day I found FFWA on the internet first, but then I didn't have the internet for a while and found squaregamer and registered. I think I made a good choice

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat May 05, 2018 5:24 pm

Yeah FFWA just has Paulo, no forum and no spirit to fight back in a flame war.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat May 05, 2018 5:40 pm

I just realized I have been confusing FF:WA with squaresource the entire duration of this thread.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat May 05, 2018 6:29 pm

That puts a very different spin on it. Pretty sure SS died well over a decade before FFWA.

Wait, when did that happen? Q1 I assume?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat May 05, 2018 11:01 pm

Yes it was Q1. PHP was not satisfied with their quarterly earnings, so the forums had to go.

I still don’t understand why their forum broke when ours is also old and didn’t.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun May 06, 2018 10:35 am

Ours is older. Clearly cut from sturdier stock.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun May 06, 2018 11:13 am

They don’t make em like they used to!

Digging the Flame War threads for Reiji

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jun 30, 2020 12:50 pm

Wsa there no thread for the FFO flame war?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Jun 30, 2020 10:36 pm

Is FFO still around

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 7:50 am

What was their URL? I just found another forum! https://www.finalfantasyforums.net/forums/

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 12:42 pm

Im down for a flame war with them

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 2:12 pm

I can't even work out what their main forum is, but they have a "Hi I'm new" one.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:58 pm

God bless Stefan and that site. Saved my ass in FFVI multiple times because the guide was godlike.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 11:02 pm

Is SG the last Square fansite of the 90's alive still in some capacity? It's like an island surrounded by nothing but ocean. End of an era, officially this time.

FFVIII source turned into Square Source. FFWA was OUR (As in Square Source's) affiliate.

Stef! Years old but how are you doing? Still listening to hip hop?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:04 am

Anyone knows what happened to SquareRealm?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 6:44 am

I only remember the name and nothing else about it.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 11:00 am

It was a utopic forum where everything went well.

Clearly if we want to reach forum utopia like this I need to be made admins like I was there. I don’t remember why or when I was made an admin tho, but clearly it was the best move they’ve ever made.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:11 pm

SG would have gone the same way if you were admin!

Last I checked, yes, but it's very inactive.

Time for an FFO FLAME WAR

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Aug 23, 2020 8:24 pm

We already had one of those though.

Time for an “Eyes on Final Fantasy”

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Aug 24, 2020 6:18 am

Yeah. We were gonna do that one, and it ended up taking so long I became a regular member.

Now it's going to be hard to pivot back to invading flame warmonger, but I'll manage.
