Holy shit.
Let's face it, Noggin Fogger isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Today, two years ago, me, Thor, Dncn, and Loki casually created a forum. We were bored high school kids in multimedia class, and thought it might be a cool idea to create a forum so we could goof around on it during class instead of during work. We thought we'd get just a few kicks and giggles out of it here and there, and it would prolly fade into infinite obscurity afterwards.
It did exactly the opposite.
Winter of 2008 saw the slack of Dncn and Loki from power, but in their steads rose Sass, Phill, and Ceasar. It exploded for the first time. It was great, it was active, it was new. We had so many good times and laughs during school. The end of high school brought what we all thought was the end of this forum. I thought Noggin Fogger would die with 13k posts, and the summer was confirming it. Then along came first semester of college, and holy fucking shit.
First semester of college, circa a year ago, was arguably its peak. We'd spend hours at a time here, wasting time when we should have been doing homework/having a life/etc. We've all even skipped classes to have foggerfests! Me and sass jumped from the 4k area to in the teen k's, an utterly ridiculous amount. This was ultimately when the Triumvirate was formed; Phill stopped, and Ceasar went to the Navy, and Dncn was preoccupied with high school and kinda just forgot about it I guess.
First semester reached its peak with the advent of the epic questing (such as the traditional quest for the Golden Turkey Anus, Battle of Titans Shore, etc.). From there, honestly, the questing has become a staple. Any thread is game.
As first semester dwindled, the future of Noggin Fogger was looking good - or so we thought at the time. As it were, 2009 brought some changes. Up til February it was as strong as ever, making up for lost time during the xmas break. But then came the loss of the Sass' source of internet: college. Much shit befell him, and with his absence, Noggin Fogger suffered a terrible blow.
Dncn returned at around this time, but it was not enough to save it.
As that semester ended, I thought Noggin Fogger was surely doomed. But lo! me, Dncn, and Ceasar (who returned during this summer time!) held the threads of the Fogger together until this semester started.
And now? Well, Noggin Fogger had it's moments, its foggerfests, and the Sass has done what he can. It has never been the same since the first semester of college ended, though.
With that said, here we are now. The Triumvirate still remains partially intact, but Noggin Fogger is weakened. But, lads, it will prevail through the ages!! I have every intention of having Noggin Fogger in an alternate browser tab whilst in my boring cubicle job after college! I have every intention of ignoring the wife and kids while foggerfesting with the gang!
NOGGIN FOGGER WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!!
