I like that positivity in you fred97!
Though, I think, like the most, HC isn't really great as it used to be. I thought when I moved here with the others from CH, HC was in the peak of its greatness. I had a fun time (especially at the Bards-my favorite place) and the forum was very rich and active. There were contests and other stuff that would encourage members to make quality posts.
I was probably wrong. I've been told that HC wasn't that great even before I joined here. Although, I really can't tell. I really enjoyed my stay here with my friends. I just noticed it wasn't fun anymore when they left.

Blast from the past
You could say I've been around for quite some time, though it has been more than a decade since I posted here last.
Maybe I'll start doing so again, this place was fun and, at some point, a place I almost considered home.
(ah, to be young and naive...)

It ain't easy being green...
I was reminded of this place from some comment on 9gag. I have to admit I was surprised it's still up and running but not nearly as surprised as I was to see it has not changed one bit.

Where's the rest of the elderly HC population? They should know that they need to show up every day for their drug cocktail, otherwise they'll start screaming at squirrels and demanding mod-squad donuts again.

How about if we just show up once in awhile and give the OSM a good thrashing?

As long as it's for medicinal purposes, I suppose it's allowable.

You’ve been part of this community for years? Please share your HC experience to newcomers so they get a gist of where they put their feet. 
What can you share about your HOMM discussions within this community?
What are your favorite subforums and why?
What annoys you in HC? What do you think could improve?
Can you explain why you keep hanging around even though there is no promising future for the Heroes series as of now?
Share funny or interesting anecdotes, things that got your feelings, memorable experiences, as much great than terrible moments...
Get out of lurk-mode for once and tell us all about your relationship with HC!
Make it great. 
Yeah I'll keep this in mind.

Man was I surprised when I saw this forum was still alive and kicking, but indescribably happy. I was just 12 when I found this forum back in the day, and it honestly meant a lot to me during my teenage years. I'd spend most of my freetime browsing these forums, even long after I stopped playing HoMM.
I originally found this place cause I was really into Heroes 3 & 5, and knew no one else who enjoyed the games. I very quickly realized that the actual heroes discussion wasn't for me, and I ended up spending most of my time in the Tavern and the Wasteland. Recently I picked up Heroes 5 again to play with my brother, and got reminded of this place, very happy it's still up and around, and quite amazed I managed to figure out my own password again. I've been reading around a bit over the past couple days, and been reminded of all the old names I used to see just about every day.
Alci, Mvass, Kareeah, Geny, Azzie, Noob, Xerox, Veco and a bunch more were some of the more common people who hung around the same quarters I did, many good times with all of you.
Some special mentions that stuck out of the crowd for me:
JoonasTo, one of my closer friends from here back in the day, and honestly a person I remember I looked up to a lot. We'd talk a crapton over MSN back in the day. I remember thinking of you as that cool kid who always had everything figured out, and viewed you as a real role model and inspiration in my day to day life.
JoonasTo said:
It was with him and my two other fellow heroes, Azagal and Keksimaton that we had A Magical Journey. These things are worth all your money, time, energy and more. There's nothing quite like it. If you ever get the chance, don't turn one down. I'm still bummed that in the end Carcity couldn't make it.
Gosh I remember this. I was 15 at the time and was so incredibly angry at my parents for not letting me go. "What do you mean I can't go on a roadtrip through Europe with some random men I've never met and you've never heard of?" Sensible decision by them, but back then I think I didn't speak to them for like two weeks because of it. I remember reading the updates in your roadtrip thread constantly and being so happy for you guys to meet up.
DagothGares, also one of my closest friends from here. The Belgian philosopher who seemed to always speak in riddles, but by God one of the friendliest people I've ever met. You were up there with Joonas with the pages and pages of msn history. The two of you were people I could talk to non-stop, and open up to with just about anything. That meant a huge deal for teenage me and I think you've genuinelly helped make me who I am today. Though I'm not sure if all your melo-drama was always helpful, it sure as hell was always entertaining.
William, William William. The crazy aussie snow who was always angry about one thing or another. Also someone I spoke to a lot over DMs. Often less in-depth and philosophical conversations, but a lot more general talk about everything. Lots of fun evenings chatting with you mate, hope you're doing alright now.
Elvin, never one I talked to a lot outside HC, but always one I enjoyed speaking with on the board. Always, and I really mean every single time, ready with a sassy comeback. I remember back when you became mod andI'd try so hard to impress you to get that first QP. Looking back now at my attempts I see why you never gave me one. Jesus Christ I was a dramatic sob.
Elvin said:
Or that time carcity wanted to have an emo haircut and I messaged everyone I could think of to put an emo carcity pic(sadly I cannot remember who made it) in their signatures. The next day half the forum had that signature and no doubt many heads were scratched in confusion.
That was you? I don't think I ever figured out why everyone did that (other than I looked like an idiot) but snow me it was entertaining. How did you manage to get so many in on it?
Adrius, man love this guy. Always had great remarks, and very fun person. Surprisingly I remember talking to you through HC Messenger a bunch. Got me into Berserk and similar manga work, stuff I still read today.
There were many of you who made my evenings back then, but I guess these are the ones who stuck out the most, and who without exaggeration helped me a lot through my teenage years, despite how annoying I seemed to have been.
So much has happened since back then. I remember towards the end of high school I stopped frequenting the forums as much, and last post I made I'd moved out for college and I guess I just didn't have time or too much interest to drop by, and eventually more or less forgot about it. I've since graduated, been working in soft dev since. I'm not pushing onto 30, got a house with my partner and two lil cats. Can't promise I'll be too active again, but it's been extremely nostalgic and fun to read around here and catch up on what's going on. Heroes Community will always be special to me, and so many lovely memories from this place.

Hey, City! How you doing, kiddo?
It is nice to see you come by.
Unfortunately, out of everyone you mentioned only Elvin is still here. Things have changed in... snow... over a decade now I guess.
But the forum is still here. Waiting patiently for a new Heroes revival.

Also is it just me or isn't it a bit absurd that it took 15 years before you got your first qp? Even more so that in principle, it first happened after you left this place.
I mean you were a one of the regulars 10+ years ago, so it's not as if you were a lurker striking from the shadows or anything like that back then.
I was like 13-14 when I joined, and the things I posted back then are pretty cringe to even think about right now . But I do remember many of the "old" people from back in the days that probably don't even know me. With me myself lurking here very much on-and-off since like 2011, it's always nice to see some of the OGs come back for even a moment.
But this thing about quality points, I remember like 10 years ago people were saying that qps are rarely even awarded compared to the olden days, and I would say compared to that time, they are now awarded even less .
Also, get back in the pit Ohforf.
