A message board created by Sydney, the founder of the Oddworld Forums, for her and her friends to chat once they decided to leave the Oddworld Forums en masse.

If you’re so interested in the Oddworld Forums’ history, why don’t you read all the past threads properly instead of picking out key words and phrases and asking us about them?

Used to be (or still is, I dunno, I'm effectively banned from all of them ^_^) a secret place for the elite of this forum where they gossip about members ect.

No. You’re thinking of The Glass Prison, my dear. Later renamed The Glass Farce.

Actually, we do talk about it, quite regularly.

We don't talk about The Mausoleum.

Glass Asylum was an awesome message board. Sometimes it's good to re-start a community with just a few select people, even when the circumstances for the original splitting up of the community were very controversial. But we really did have something briliant going with the spirit of the formally united OWF, and I still think it could've evolved into something great.

But then again maybe it'd of simply died of it's own death in the end, 'cause the only thing that united us was friendship. And as we all know, internet friendships are all-too easily broken as people and thier lives change. After all, OWF still stands because it's a forum to talk about the activities of Oddworld Inhabitants. And they still do things from time to time, which gives everyone here something to talk about.

TGA's fate was that it was shut down a few months, maybe even a year (I can't remember) after its creation because Sydney couldn't be bothered to look after it anymore. She said she'd rather shut it down then to give control of it to someone else, which made everyone angry.

We didn't have anywhere to talk to each other anymore, so everyone who didn't keep in touch with each other by other means all lost contact. Hence the end of a sub community. :P

Fortunately for me and a few others, MSN helped us stay in touch. I'm still friends with many people I met here on OWF who also fled to TGA, even after all these years. Part of the early OWF & TGA community still lives on.

fuck I can't even remember the difference between Mausoleum and TGP. Was Mausoleum 2.0 or 0.5 of TGP?

I actually re-read that entire topic a few hours ago, in hind sight it was a stupid thing of most of us to get THAT mad about it I guess. Still, some people had their feelings hurt.

Well, having read the classics thread multiple times, it seems like a pivotal point of OWF history. Sydney, a male admin who wanted a vagina (or something like that) was evil. He/She banned people left and right with no warnings. So our friendly neighborhood Alcar saved the day and revoked her admin status. Then gave it back because a large percentage of the forums started whining. Sydney got mad and brought a bunch of people to stampede out of the forums, then dance in their own little grassy meadow. Then Sydney burnt it to the ground.

He half reads them, gets over-excited and asks us about the other half.

All of that Forum Schism stuff feels like it happened a century ago, I mean it was a long time ago and I was only here for like a year and much younger for that matter when everything went down (2002?). I really don't think people could still be bitter about it by this point though...

Why the fuck is Sydney Palkia?

And you missed out Pilot.

EDIT: That is not an aggressive 'fuck', that is an amused 'fuck'. *Resists urge to make inappropriate joke*

I had no idea what to potray her as, besides it was a joke, chill out.
If I've upset anyway, pm me and I'll take it down.
Oh, and I wasn't there, I just made from what I knew.
I never said it was funny, I was just bored. *runs into a corner and hides*

I remember the upproar that caused this forum to split and TGA was created. Sydney was furious about something or someone here. But once TGA shut down I never bothered returning. Though because of Dark Hood I decided to poke my head in and see what's going on. Hello. =)

Wow, that stuff happened forever ago.

Pilot's still an idiot though.

And Mudling's pic made me LOLZ.

OMG Abe Babe, when I first say your post I thought you'd come to unleash your wrath on me for dishonouring you name or something.
Glad to see that someone liked it however.
It took me for ever to find out which was the final fantasy character you were obsessed with, I'm not a big fan of FF myself, so I hope I got the right one.
Oh, and I have no idea in pilot's part in all of this, hence he is not depicted in the picture.
