Meet the Former Staff of PSU

[Blacksite]

Does anyone remember Byoushinn? He literally ran the Final Fantasy sub-forum.

Yeah, I remember him. Never got to know him, though.

[Blacksite]

Byoushinn and Sieghardt seemed to know the most about JRPG titles anyway. I think he was upset when the staff decided to do away with the Final Fantasy sub-forum because he spent a lot of time there.

I'm not sure if that was back when Dave was still running the show.

Nah, we removed the FF sub-forum after Byoushinn was already gone. That was when we had those epic conversations about this forum having too many unvisited sub-forums, and the FF sub-forum was hardly getting any activity. But it looks like we've gone back to our old strategy of having a shit load of forums lol. I also tried bringing in activity with THE FINAL FANTASY WARS, but that was only a temporary spike.

The FF sub-forum might return very soon though, since there's a lot of entries coming out this year.

F34R should be on the list. He was a moderator back in 2009 or 10' I think.

[Blu-Ray]

Im actually kinda relevant haha. Yay! I miss the old days :/

[Behemoko]

What a bunch of nobodies, look at all those geezers :P

[Cuguy]

a ghost!

[T0PGUN]

Lets all blow each other

[Nuvian]

Wish I could have gotten some of the lists from other time periods. There are a lot of great staffers that were completely left out. I remember you being a moderator, though. I think you were staffing when I joined.

Would have been cool

What a bunch of nobodies, look at all those geezers :P

/wave

Lets all blow each other

Me first!

We try our hardest to forget that dark, dark part of PSU history...

F34R was our greatest staff member. But he retired prematurely, similar to Michael Jordan in the early 90s. It was a huge blow to our community and we're all hoping he will moderate once again.

Nah, that's not what happened at all. lol

[XMW]

This was staff sometime in 2006/2007?

[Ixion]

Yeah, that looks like 2006 to me. Maybe even 2005.

[Cuguy]

I think it is 2005... hella old

[F34R]

Lol. The real story of my "departure" is filled with so much irony, it would be interesting if everyone knew the real story, the entire story.

Write a book and then make a thread about it!

[Tom1525]

Christ I remember everyone of these its crazy.

Or he can just be a mod again. Hes certainly here enough.

Okay this isn't technically the staff you were referencing, but there's also been a lot of people who have come and gone on the content side of things on PSU in the past few years too.

I've been here for five years nearly, and the turnover has been pretty big. Anyone remember Bhav? Justin Pinter? Usman? I've worked with all of those guys, Bhav in particular really showed me the ropes when I first joined, and again when I became an editor. Eric Blattberg was another guy I enjoyed working with.

We've also had many freelancers like Edwin Evans-Thirwell, who is now working with OXM UK. Amazing writer, and a nice chap to boot. And then there's Dave Wales, that was a fun time.

But yeah, sorry to hijack this in some respect, I just figured it was worth having something from the content staff's point of view.

Yeah, I totally still lurk, just don't have time to post or engage in discussion all that much. Full college course load + job + girlfriend + sleep = less time for interwebz.

In case anyone's curious, I left PSU to write for Wired.com, and now work for Crowdsourcing.org.

Hahahaha, that one made me crack a smile.
