History of Ecorey (Part 4) - Actually it's My Own History pfffft!

Banana costume - always in the right time, place and occasion. Versatile Costume!

So the times finally bring us back to the time I joined Kakus. Why I joined Kakus? There's no solid reason for this, but I want to sell my batik dress at that time. Kakus was just a great forum for me back then and bring a lot of potential to pull out my selling idea. Soo...I just left a little hesitation when I registered Kakus (I already knew that Kakus was swarmed by pornographic contents). I just lurked around some forums and became a silent reader there. My favourite forums were Lounge and English forum. From then, you guys can predict it easily why I was granted with the ability to write some non-chalant essays (?) just like this.

My next strategy for reinforced my English skill is of course...dominating English Forum khehehe~

Off the record: My first encounter with Lounge forum gained my post count rather quickly. Un...for noob, Lounge is the best place for leveling and is overwhelmed by various degree of threads. I wouldn't tell you the varieties, you guys shall check them out yourselves. You can do junk posts in Lounge; the other top three forums for leveling and executed junk posts are Donatur Lounge, Regional Forum and Jokes Forum. Trust me, if your aim is posting like you will break or bleed your fingers, those top four forums will serve you well. But, if you choose quality over quantity, hmm...I think we talk about different thing. One thing to remember, Ecorey serves both of that aims, whether you want to get quality and quantity posts, you can just hop on the thread. Do I sound exaggerate thing? Hmm...you can say that way, but you who haven't even post in Ecorey, I demand your attention to take a peek about our lively and dynamic thread once a little while.

English Forum, I feel like home for the first time I joined Kakus. Maybe the posters there are more civilized than the other forum. Hahaha! It must be my first time join such a free forum. Once they know I'm a girl, the users are like Bowtruckle hogging doxy's eggs. They even didn't verifiy whether I'm a real girl or not. Pffft! They also didn't verify whether I'm a nice or hot girl. Pfffffft! In English Forum, most of the posters are English gurus and masters. Ambrosiana, is a nice and friendly girl. I started to love her. I met with others too, including the regulars, enthusiasts, and moderators. Of course, for the first time, I learned about troll and trolling a forum. It wasn't nice experience but once it was finished, we could laugh at it.

During my lurking time in English Forum, I found out that there's an effective method to fortify, improve and hone our English skill, especially in speaking department. It was called offline meeting or gathering - those two word are exchangeable anyway. Ooohhh...my body shiver in ecstasy. How cool was that! Congregating in designated time and place with some special English posters in English Forum, enjoying some quality time with virtual but going to be real friends, and finally, establishing good speaking skill - my speaking skill was rather dull and need some improvements. I'm lack of practicing. And then, I asked the thread starter of English Gathering in English Forum - his ID is Orthanc - when the next gathering would be held. He was sooooo busy. I could understand that and told me if I wanted to make the gathering myself and he would support me technically and morally.

So saaaad...

All of English gathering were hold in Jakarta, which would render me impossible to attend, due to distance and fare issues. Sigh...but Orthanc Kuma (that's my nickname for him, no disrespect intended) told me that several posters in the thread were originally from Yogyakarta and encouraged me if I wanted to hold the gathering in Yogyakarta. So, after had some warm discussion via YM with Mod Orthanc, the previous English Enthusiast, I started to get my butt up searching potential participants from Yogyakarta. I also strategically registered to Regional Yogyakarta, since that was the prerequisites to be allowed to become the regular there. I skimmed those 100 pages thread (at that time) one post by another to find anyone - any remnant of them. I got several of them. You want to know the list? What you don't want it? I will post it anyway:

mr_dorapong | retnodenok | badaklipet2 | Agusetia | Jibril | milkaholic88 | agpower | niaks | SpartanGreen | andyk02 | writer.seal | adeedz | BarBitch | jchristie |  PO.Budiman | xfakexbloodx | orang_dongo | adeedz | dikanewbie93 | divineloveless | ihsan30954 | viendetta | AyaConDioz | creamypuff | masnyo2
   

Wow! Plenty of potential participants <3!

Hmmm...that will make long vertical list, don't you think? I sent PM to all of them. Several of them replied me, several others didn't. Those who replied were enthusiastic about the idea, several apologized they wouldn't be able to participate since they already moved to other places or cities. To make a long story short, the first batch who was willing to participate were mr_dorapong, Agusetia, jchristie, jibril, PO.Budiman, xfakexbloodx, and Yukikawaii. Funny thing then happened when the D-day of the offline meeting was launched, xfakexbloodx (I will refer him as FB for future reference) forgot about the first date huahuahua! Instead he had a fun time with his family. Hmm...at least if he didn't have fun with us, he had fun with his family. Ohh....another thing, I met Jibril (I will refer him as J for future reference) for the first time when he accompanied me meeting with the regional leader (RL) of Regional Yogyakarta, his ID is FNF. My mission was to get RL permission to establish brand new English thread in Regional Yogyakarta - of course, with me as the thread starter. The previous thread starter, J, said that there should be regeneration and I was okay with that.

So we returned to the D-day of the destined offline meeting, one by one emerged from the darkness, from the thin air, from the panzer tank and from the moving platform (what on earth I was talking and writing about). Oh, for you who wanted to know the detail about the story of our first resurrection gathering, you can check my next post. See you there!
