    I got this idea while reading Kurono's engagement thread, after seeing barely anyone know him even though it sounded like he was relatively popular, that made me think about the generations of NUF, like how there are a bunch of generations in real life; gen x, millennials, and gen z.

    I feel like there are constantly about or at least, or rather, I'm guessing at this number, I'll say a dozen active people on NUF at a time, and when their time is done, I.E., when they get bored, they pass the torch on to the next generation.

    Like I recall Bobasis spamming general chat, then it was Raven Evernight.

    But since the internet is a far faster time than real life, each generation would be only a year rather than the usual 15 (or maybe less), so, here is my question today, if no NUF historians can name the various people of the generations, which I admit would be a difficult task, what would you call each generation?

    I imagine you would base it on the popular novels or media of the time. I am not sure of this, but I feel that/am guessing that the most popular novels at the start of NUF were Japanese ones, then it became Chinese ones, and then Korean. And I feel as if there was a rise in the tragedy tag at some point, and then the MMORPG tag. Oh, and the adventurer's league, that was quite the time, though I only just came around at the downswing of it. Please, someone, a NUF historian, lend my your assistance!

    Well...you'd be wrong. NUF was made during the high point on CN. JP LN's were being dmca'ed hard and people whined about "beta" mc and dug into CN's.

    there's a lot of role-playing...everyone seems to suffer from Flanderization where we become extreme versions of our personas...people eventually burn out and leave.

    Well, you could go many ways with this, by year joined, popular series at the time, tag, LN, WN, Cn, Kr, Jp... most people could just lurk too... or use alts.

    Also, there's discords too... Just saying...

    You know i just lurk here and there, and suddenly i have followers and 3000$+ NUF money that i can't spend in real life....

    And i still don't understand why there is a "like limit" and why i can't spend my hard-earned NUF money in real life to buy a New Yacht, daddy needs a new hobby

    In the beginning, there was only darkness. Then, our lord and savior @Tony arrived from another world to deliver upon us the light known as Novel Updates. @Tony received a vision of Baka Updates being deleted, and he transmigrated into another world where he could preserve his teachings. Novel Updates Forum was where @Tony held the most power.

    Unfortunately, not all was well. The Dark Lords of @NUF sprung from the shadows to wreak havoc upon hollow nuffians. To fight the chaos, @Tony bestowed upon his followers, @remy911, @Electromaster, and @holyshin the powers of a demi-god. Many nuffians were slain in the ensuing battles. @Tony kept @Das alive as a trophy to remind everyone of his power.

    Thus, the Age of NUF had begun.

    It's incomplete, but it holds some of the important events from the early days to now.
