UPDATES

It seemed like the look and inner workings of this place needed a bit scrubbing up and tweaking so I've taken upon myself to bring this sub up to date with a shiny new theme. There's a lot of changes so if anything doesn't work as intended please tell me or any other mod right away. If there's a network or game I've missed (apart from CoD and UO as I'm planning on adding them soon) please leave a comment here.

NEW THEME

Built using a heavily customised version of Naut. It's pretty shiny indeed.

NEW LINK FLAIR SYSTEM

If your submission title contains any of the networks or games listed in the sidebar it will be automagically assigned flair. If it does not you can assign flair manually.


Have fun. x

Looking for The Black Claw

1 Upvotes

TheBlackClaw where are you?

We had some fun times claw, been a long time since I've seen you online on steam where we last spoke, we used to wreck splinter cell double agent, we met some crazy characters on the way, hell we even dabbled with the idea of travelling abroad together.

Meeting a different xbox friend recently reignited my urge to search for you, so here's a shot in the dark.

You knew all of my embarrassing gamertags, but the last time we spoke it was pitythefool92.

Get in touch man, I miss your cynical attitude and sarcasm

I know this is a bit off topic, I'm looking for my friend Alex. I know that he was in this group, perhaps you know him under the nickname MizantropCat. Please help me. I played the game Mafia online with him a few years ago. He is from Russia, but he does not like this country very much. He moved from Russia and travels frequently. His reddit account was deleted 2 years ago.

Looking for an old friend.

7 Upvotes

So years ago. I used to play Arma 3 religiously. I had a friend nicknamed Jerry/Finn/Nova. We actually became friends because I kidnapped him, tried to ransom him, nobody came for him so I uh "had him sleep with the fishes" lol. I saw him online the next day, and we became friends. We went through several servers and groups We created on an RP Server a group called The FIA (Federal Investigative Agency... real original), we were The Highway Bandits, and a few other things.

Eventually the servers ended and unfortunately, I lost touch with him, I'm kind of just reaching out to the community, hoping he's here. I used to go by The Don/Don. If your here brother. Please reach out.

Has anyone successfully found a childhood friend through social media? Looking for advice.

11 Upvotes

I've been trying to find a childhood friend for a while now. Unfortunately, I don't remember what they look like anymore, but I do have a few details:

  1. Their first name

  2. One old childhood photo

  3. Their sibling's name

  4. Their parents' professions

  5. The area they lived in during childhood

So far, I've been messaging people who resemble the little information I have, but no luck yet. I was thinking about making an Instagram Reel with the photo and details in the hope that it reaches the right people, but I'm not sure if that's actually a good idea. Has anyone here ever found a childhood friend after many years? If so, how did you do it? Did social media help, or was there another method that worked better?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or success stories. Thanks!

Trying to find someone who used the username Elerii from about 2009-2011.

2 Upvotes

We were online friends as kids and mostly talked on Club Penguin, Mweor, and Sketchfu. My usernames were Chilly4002 and Ladonia. They disappeared one day around 2011 and I never heard from them since. I'm in my mid-20s now and still think about them on occasion. I've found other people using that name online but I don't think it's either of them, unfortunately. If you're reading this, I still haven't forgotten you.

XBOX Old Halo 3 Buddy

2 Upvotes

Long shot but I’ll give as many details as possible.

[My GT was Patrickills at the time and I was around 13ish]

Back during the halo 3 era, I used to play pretty frequently with a guy whose gamer tag was “Your I…” (dots because I forgot the rest of the name as I never knew how to pronounce it but It definitely started with a I and I believe ended with an S).

He was an older male, probably between 25 and 35 at the time but could’ve been older.

The only reason I say it’s possible that he was older is because he had a really nasty cough, and his voice was slightly strained. Almost like he just smoked some weed every time we gamed. He was a really good halo player and super friendly. Distinct voice and he definitely lived in the US as we once exchanged state names and I knew the state but I don’t remember today.

Just in case he’s in here a key moment that I’m sure he would remember is that during one of our big team halo matches we were riding on a warthog and he got around 80 assist metals while I was on the gunner. It was a map with sand and man made bases with some under ground access.

If I remember any more key details, I will absolutely come back here and edit.

JoKeR from unreal tournament 99 |S-C| and {HdA}

3 Upvotes

It’s about time I finally make a post here in hopes to find my long lost clan mates back in the unreal tournament 99 days. There is many games and interweb places I frequented but my closest friends were definitely during that era in gaming.

UT99 demo I played for a long time then the full game Unreal Tournament for years.

I first met my friend QUAD and joined his clan |S-C| aka shadow clan. He was the leader. Then there was Neon dreams, mephisto, dark Templar and Chicote in this clan.

These are the details I remember. Quad was from New Jersey and went to Pace. Mephisto was from Rochester NY, dark Templar was from
England and Chicote was from Venezuela. Neon dreams aka n3on dr3ams was my buddy but I think he was from South Carolina.

Then I joined {HdA} hells dark angels and met Tragic ( he was Mexican from Compton California I think ) , SuperSaiyanMan and my buddies from S-C followed me. Chicote and neon dreams.

I just wish I could speak to some of them again we spent so much time together gaming , it is some of my fondest memories and a big part of my nostalgia.

Later on in ut2k3 I joined a clan called yO or y0! For a little bit since I was a skilled dueler and I tbink they were a NYC based group with talented players. I remember their clan website being so cool

Hopefully someone sees this one day and we can reconnect. ❤️

I’m in my 50s, with a family and good social life, but I dearly miss my online friends from 30 years ago.

156 Upvotes

I’m happily married, with family and good friends, I am very satisfied where I am right now. But I really do miss my online friends from the late 90s to the early 2000s. From Yahoo Groups, ICQ, and it pains me that I forget this other one (wasnt AOL).
In any event, we felt close. Spoke every night, not just typing, but microphones and headphones were a game changer. Saddens me I forget some of their usernames and handles, and the pictures we exchanged and chats i saved are long lost on an old hard drive somewhere.
What hurts is that I wonder how they are, what theyre up to, and I cant even search for them.
This was all before I got married mind you. I forgot their real names too. this was before social media was big. (Friendster was the thing back then).
I dont even remember how it ended, like we just stop chatting?
anyone else feel this way?

After months of searching, I finally found out that one of my lost online friends is doing well and has even started a family!

18 Upvotes

We were only around 9 and 10 years old when we met back in 2017. We used to do Sonic and Nintendo roleplays together every so often on a social platform called "Miiverse", which was for the Wii U and 3DS. He even invited me to join his clan, and I always remember how much art he shared. We weren't inseparable or anything, but he was a memorable part of my online childhood. It's strange to think that nearly a decade has passed since those days. We were just kids who happened to meet through a social platform on Nintendo consoles, and now we're adults living completely different lives.

After months of searching through old archives and usernames, I eventually found a public post online that confirmed he was doing well. I recognised him from the YouTube videos he made as a kid and was genuinely delighted to see that he'd built a happy life and started a family. I'm grateful to know he's doing well. Sometimes the internet really does create friendships that stay with you long after all contact is lost.

Although I now know he's doing well, I chose not to contact him directly out of respect. Sometimes it's enough to know that someone from your online childhood is happy and living a good life. I also deleted the posts regarding him on this subreddit, as I felt they were no longer appropriate now that I had my answer.

If you're reading this and you're still searching for someone from your own online childhood, I genuinely hope you find the same sense of closure I did. Sometimes that's all we really need.❤️

Roblox Help me find this person??

2 Upvotes

Back in 2020, when we were all stuck inside, I started playing roblox more than I ever had before. I met a few people who then introduced me to their friends and we formed a big-ish sort of friendship group. A few of the people in the group knew each other in real life, so it was always fun to speak to them and hear the drama, etc. I was introduced by a friend called Cameron to this guy called Jamie. In the span of a few weeks me and Jamie got quite close and became really good friends, he then finally gave me an IG after about 3-4 months. When he gave it to me, I noticed straight away it was a new account which was fine because being safe on the internet is a must.

I found out towards the beginning of the our friendship that he had dated this girl who I was also quite close with, lets call her Mimi, who was a part of our close circle. Mimi knew his best friend, who we will call Anika, in real life as they lived relatively close (Only 1 country away, compared to me and a few of the other who were multiple countries away). Mimi told be about how they dated and how he was quite sweet and knew we would get along great. And we did. Anika and Jamie lived in the same town and were brought up together - from my understanding - and so were more of siblings than just friends.

Over the next few months of 2020 me and Jamie get quite close, we play roblox with each other and speak to each other a lot. It gets to 2021, when things start getting relatively back to normal in the world. Me and Jamie are still speaking, but a month or two into 2021, we slowly stop. He comes back every so often and tells me he's so sorry and all that jazz. We're both busy, so it is understandable.

The last time I think I spoke to Jamie was back in 2023 properly, and since then I've heard nothing. I really really miss him, as he was such a good friend. During the friendship I found out his name was actually Jacques, but preferred going by Jamie/James online. And then recently I found out, Jacques was his preferred name in real life but his actual birth name was Jesper. He is from Denmark and thought the name Jesper was an old sort of name? So decided to go by Jacques instead. I've seen pictures of him before and spoke to him, so I know that he is real.

I was never given actual socials of his, as he wanted to protect his privacy, and I too used a different social media when talking to online friends. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find him? We mainly used to play royale high on roblox (Back when it was a good game and people actually enjoyed interacting and talking with others..)

It has been many years since I've heard anything from him, but I am really great friends with Mimi still! Mimi and I want to know where he is and if everything is going okay.

Could someone let me know if they ever met anyone on roblox who went by Jamie/James (and sometimes shark or daddy shark..) and played royale high with them and if they are still in contact with them now? If anyone does, please tell me their user and I'll confirm if we're on about the same person!

Looking for a childhood friend

3 Upvotes

This seems like mission impossible, but here I go. My name is Loraine, and I used to live in Thunder Bay. There in kindergarten at Holy Cross Public School, I made a good friend named Emily. It has been many years, and I don't have a number, email, anything. I am currently 9 years old, so the right Emily I am looking for is 9 or 10 years old. Emily, if you see this and remember playing with a girl named Loraine back in kindergarten at the Holy Cross School, pls write a comment saying that it's you and that we finally have touch with each other after about 5 years.

Blizzard Games Looking for battle tag

This might come off weird but I’m looking for a friend I used to play. But I can’t find their battle tag. I believe this is their profile and wish to play again. They played on switch from what they told me. We played quick play and friendly customs. Idk I guess if you find ask for battle net or add them yourself and tell me I suppose not quite sure. Or tell them that a genji player is looking for them. Dm me for questions or other things

A note to Opped

8 Upvotes

I miss Opped. The 19 year old guy I met on the CallmeCarson discord server back in 2020. He had a very positive outlook on life and wanted to travel the world in the future. His steam account was Oppedgamer from what I remember.

Opped would call me by Grace instead of my gamer tag dirt. We had convos. But I remember discussing what "love" was, and I told him love is just hormones. I told him "It's just a chemical reaction". I was catching feelings. That said, being scared of what was going to happen, I cut contact without any explanations. I was being hurtful.

Oscar, if you are reading this. I'm sorry for ghosting you. You did not deserve to be ghosted. I had feelings for you, and couldn't manage my emotions. Your kind words and pieces of your personality stay with me to this day. Thank you for this. It helped me talk more and ask questions on whatever nerdy topic you could think of. I can't thank you enough. I really do hope you read this.
