Throughout the years, we've had a number of instrumental writers on the site who have moved on to bigger and brighter things. Althanas is continually changing (especially this year with the introduction of AP) and I think it's a good time to invite those folks back to check things out (or possibly rejoin us if they're interested). Here's how the game works:

For every oldbie that you "find" you will receive points. The contest will last through the end of February or until all oldbies on the list have dropped by. To "find" an oldbie, they must post in this thread and indicate that you "found" them. Basically saying something to "Hey everyone, _____ found me!" is sufficient. Most of these people still have accounts on the site, but some do not. Accordingly, I will be watching IP addresses carefully for new registrations, so don't cheat. I've also kept in contact with many of the people on the list and can easily verify!

There are prizes, of course. 1st prize will be a coveted Althanas aesthetics package complete with a larger PM box (250!), a colored username (not white), a larger avatar & a custom user title! 2nd prize will earn you a custom user title. 3rd prize will net you 250 GP. For every oldbie you get to check in, you'll also get AP which can be used for judgments. I'll give you 200 extra EXP if you complete a thread with them this month! All claims should be made in this thread.
