http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2nMwMOUIosAs you have all been informed now... the omni-mod has said that what has been lost cannot be restored. Over four years of this guild's history and the stories that were made... the time spent to make them can never be brought back. We cannot let this attack though ruin this guild and the memories that we have of the stories and threads that were lost. I ask all of you to post your memories, your stories, your art. Anything that comes to mind when you think of the four stories that have been lost. Honor the memories, cherish them and share them. For as long as we remember what has been lost, it will not die. This guild will go on... Do not forget what has been lost... First Generation Second Generation Viscus Universus Heartfelt Adventure.

Unfortunately not, at least the one responsible was brought to justice and it is for the best that we do not know who did it. What matters is that justice has been served now we can focus on rebuilding.
Though I have only been a member of the guild for the past 2 years of it's grand history... I felt as though my heart had been ripped out when the threads were deleted. Though I was not part of the great majority of the history that occurred. To me Heartfelt Adventure was and still is a whole new world of rping... It has permanently and irrevocably altered my rping style I think for the better and I look forward to it's continuation in the near future. I am thankful that my memory is as good as it is because I can still remember a great majority of the action of the posts that I made. Though I know that is not the case for everyone. Which is why I made this thread... share the memories so that others can have them to...

Thanks for doing this JK I do have a few things to say I think.
I've been a member of this guild for around five yearsish, maybe more. Of course those years have been plagued with a certain amount of inactivity, but there were always times (especially whenever I replayed Kingdom Hearts) that I thought of this guild and going back.
I've got a lot of memories, probably too many to recollect, but there are a few important things. The whole reason I joined Gaia in the first place was to RP Kingdom Hearts, and I'm not sure if FG was at the top of the list for KHRP guilds at the time but something made me join this guild in particular. If anyone couldn't tell FG was my first RPing experience. I like to believe that creating Karn, making a Hero that I thought fit the KH series, and taking him on all these adventures has improved my RP and general writing skills immensley, so I am beyond grateful for that.
Looking back on things now, I know that Karn and my other characters were not very stellar, I mean Karn barely had an ounce of originality in him, I mean his weapon is a pretty bland sword and his defining power was every magic and white wings... yeah I know xD. But ya know, somehow RPing with many of you here, and many who have moved on, made him my favorite, and I think a few others probably liked him to ;D. A pretty bland character really managed to grow thanks to not just me but a lot of people here, so thanks FG for making my first RP experience a thriving one.
Which brings me to the next point, the community *points* yes you. I have RARELY seen a fandom WITHIN a fandom before that has flourished so much. It's not everyday that you find a group of people that are as crazy about our own stories as the games they're inspired by. It's really amazing to see such a huge store of media (art, short stories, fan fics what have you) and looking at it, recognizing all the characters and how they look, their mannerisms. I mean, its so great when there's just always this talk about "that was really cool!" "They are so cute together!" "Karn is definitely the hottest!" (xD I love that memory, I wonder if he'd still hold the title for hottest FG male?). It's just such a positive atmosphere, and this encouraged a great comfort level for me, which I believe shows for many in the way ideas and thoughts built off of each other in FG. Stuff like that always made me wanna come back, SG never really got off the ground, but admittedly I regret not sticking with it now. It's not so bad now, there are tons of new stories to share currently, so that makes it easy to not fret about the old stuff.
I have tons of individual memories from FG as well that hopefully people can share in. One of my favorites is still when Karn and Ryoko met for the first time, that chase through Traverse Town after the pretty thief, ending with Karn dropping her in the water around Merlin house was just so much fun to do, it wasn't drawn out or anything it just felt like a really good chase sequence. Who knew that it would lead to love eh? <3 I also remember after a big battle on an asteroid in space Karn dissapeared only to meet up exhausted with the group at Beasts Castle, collapsing on the floor, don't know why I remember that one but I do. I remember in Narnia, a huge behemoth heartless was charging down the hill towards the heroes encampment and the action from everyone was amazing, some were on the behemoths back fighting wyverns while still stabbing the giant trying to take it down, while some were on the ground and used powers like Vines to snare the creature, and then the heroes prevailed! Just in the nick of time, inches from the camp! That and situations like it admittedly got my blood pumping. You know what else there characters weren't just memorable for me, they were iconic. Even though Kyou had a sort of 'bigger' role than everyone else I really strongly felt like EVERYONE was a main character, if Kyou was the main then it was one helluva supporting cast. I also remember crying at the end of FG, when Kyou faded into nothing after everyone had hugely contributed to the battle I shed some tears o.0 I still can't believe that. One thing I'll always regret, is not making KarnxRyoko more concrete, true I essentially made my final post Karn going to be with her, in the end she decided it couldn't be! NOOOO THEY BELONG TOGETHER, another reason i wish SG should have succeeded (cries on Fuu's shoulder).
Well, I think that's all for now, I hope this doesn't make some people mad but, I meant what i said in the OOC forum, I'm not actually THAT bummed about losing all my hard work (I believe I was around for a good 1200 pages of FG? probably more... huh) because now, in a way, I get to do it all again with all of you guys... but your probably tired of all this sap and text xD sorry maybe I'm venting or something.

Ah, I still remember when FG was just a little thread in the Guild forum. It was the early days of Gaia, when you knew who the site oldbies were and they were just beginning to complain about the growing number of preteens. I stumbled upon the FG thread while wandering the forums, still humming the 30 second preview of Simple and Clean that I must have listened to a hundred times since it was the only way I could relive the Kingdom Hearts experience; without a PS2 or the game, I was hungry for more. (YouTube wasn't big yet, or at least I didn't know about it, and I didn't own the game until a few months later though I had already played a lot on a friend's PS2.) Haha, I still recall the semi-literate rp beginnings, mostly between Kyou and Reki. They started off on the islands...ah, it was so n00bish.
I read the entire thread, but I was so afraid to jump in. It was all so new--Kingdom Hearts, the rp world--but when I got the invite to the guild, I was totally in. I still remember one of the first things was Neverland. Wow, I made such a bad character. [I was probably one of those Mary Sues.] The name still stuck, though, and now I use it for everything. FG let me explore the world of rping, and I have never regretted it, even for a minute. (Despite the numerous homework assignments that didn't get done because of it.) In the heyday of FG, it was really hard to keep up, since people would get through 10 pages a day. (Thanks a lot to you Kyou, Reki, Moon, Rae, Wak, Tao, Sig, Zazie, Tenshi, Rish, Volt, and more.) My only regret is that I couldn't have been here to see its end. However, I hope to watch and help create its future.
Maybe we could have a thread where we try and compile basic plotlines as best as we can?
