I was in 8th grade I think when I first made an account here, so late '09/early '10. Was just a shithead middle schooler who couldn't rp a coherent paragraph back then. Now I'm just a normal shithead. Been on and off since college but always glad to come back and see the same people.

Way back in the summer of '09 going into my sophomore year of high school. Jill creamed all over my join app and shit was smooth sailing from there.

Back in 2010. I knew Digu from a BYOND game. He saw me writing roleplay like responses in the chat and decided to recruit me.

Saw the site in 2004 or so, made a really cringy and extremely bad King Cold join app, took it serious in 2007 and joined as Chill...while not being a chill person to write with (sorry folks), changed into Halcyon and well...ragequit after a rather..."at the time at least" example of what a shitfest some battles turned out to be. Though I did attempt to rejoin a few times afterwards, I couldn't keep my attention and thus kinda faded away into obscurity.

I first joined March 17th 2008. A bit of a rocky start as I didn't use the join form hahaha. I was part of another RPG and found this one through a google search. I think I was trying to find an old DBZ Javascript game a friend of mine had turned me onto years before, but I came across a few rpgs. I decided to give this one a go since the other site I was on was real time based, giving me a ton of time to do other stuff. I am still friends with someone on there.
Anyway, I joined as Tasuda, and if I remember correctly, I think I was the only Namekian at the time, I know there was a Nail, but can't remember if they started before or after me. I joined an Alliance and we became the Ascended Knight. We had Chrono, Future Gohan, and Yamcha. All of whom I'm friends with to this day. I had a ton of fun back in the day and even became staff and a co-admin at one point. Looking at the archive, I had about 1,778 posts hahaha. I eventually added a 2nd character, Jynx to my list of characters, who was a Changeling/Alien back when customer races and 2nd characters were just getting going.
I also created an AMV for a saga. So many memories.

Hi, everyone. It feels like I found this place a decade ago. Lots of good times. Happy to be back and happy to collab with other writers for some great stories!

Ten years ago, in 2011. My long time play-by-email RPG shut down, so I was looking for somewhere to write. I even wrote the RP portion of my join form in first person, given that's what I was used to. I played a few different characters before taking up an original around 2013, "Elemento". Activity was hit or miss for lots of reasons until 2017. Been as active as I can since then, took up Tien as well in 2018. Infrequent poster, but stories going strong.

15 years ago. Seems it's always March/April when I'm doing a vibe check on this place and deciding whether or not rejoining is finally safe to do lol
My story is an uncomfortable but typical one for the DBZ RP fandom.
I kept joining forums run by toxic clowns. I was new to the DBZ fandom, and I thought this foul behavior was the norm and would mirror the behavior that the popular/well-respected players exhibited, but it would usually see me banned in short order, often followed by the site/forum itself shutting down maybe a month or two later. Communities treated their players like shit, in spite of players being the lifeblood of a roleplay community. In return, players would act like toxic little shits *BACK*, staff would kneejerk like crazy, and the sites would implode not that long after conception. I played on Chubbs before Alex's, and they were about that toxicity and assholery, yet another site whose staff could dish it out, but couldn't take even a fraction of what they doled out. After being gaslighted into believing I was the problem, and "being given multiple chances", I finally declined probably the 5th offer I had to come back to Chubbs for much of the same. Because Alex's was doing this whole trashy rap game-style feud with Chubbs, I figured that *surely* Chubbs' competitors MUST be a better option than Chubbs was.
As others have said, this community was pretty vile in the days when I was a member. Staff could be exceedingly petty, and they could totally fuck up your entire ADBZ experience if you so much as brought it up in conversation, let alone complained about it. I was constantly having my Trainings/Updates and Alliance Transactions illegally hijacked by staff for dumb racist shit (because dumb people think dumb shit is funny). People like to say racists don't have internet connections, but I respectfully agree to disagree.
I finally ended up quitting, after which I was banned, in the trashy but typical "YOU CAN'T QUIT, YER FIIIIRRREEED!" fashion. At least until I rejoined in April 2020 and was trying to get through my damage from my LAST stint on Alex's, when Azazel (not Alex, the creep with the Hellsing avatars/signatures) went full retard and banned me from the forums for lulz. Which he apparently was making a reputation for himself for doing, while crying that "I never ban or kick for no reason", even as he's doing exactly that.
I have played Fangs the Vampire, Tottepo (the one who was actually played WELL), and my current character Maximillion. I'm still a straightshooter, but I don't mirror the behavior of malignant narcissistic types anymore. My block/leave game is on fleek, and I am at an age now where I just don't have the mental/emotional capital for internet retardation anymore.
I've heard Alex's is finally entering a new and peaceful era, and hopefully I'm not just being a gullible idiot and setting myself up for more of the same of what I experienced before. But if I never try, if this old dog never learns new tricks, well... that's how people get stuck in their heads, complacent and their ideologies become stagnant and obsolete.

I was Papa Bush. Itachi got me to join. Then I rejoined as Cell Jr and tried a different approach to rp Razak invited me to rejoin (Deadpool).
Just setting the intention here - Looking to take collab with other players for some good times. I don't care about being the best. I care about having a good time and contributing to the environment here.
Presently I work very demanding work hours (70 hours a week, every other weekend off).
I recognize some old names, especially Max.

I originally joined in 2007 while in Iraq haha. My roommate found the site and joined (for like a month). I joined and have played on and off ever since then.

Back in 2008 I was googling to find a DBZ game to play. Stumbled across this place, and like many people, I wasn't sure if it was a game like DB online. Once I got to grips with it, I joined as Garlic Jr.
I was only 15 at the time, and didn't get on with some people as they were fairly critical and I didn't take it well.
Been off an on over the years. I think I was Android 14 in 2009. Valentil, King Piccolo, Cell, Goten in 2012. King Cold and Ginyu briefly in 2018 too. May have missed some but that's about it. Most of the time life gets a bit hectic and I end up having to put this place on the back burner, but it's always nice to come back to, with the hope of staying around a little more permanently.

So, like, the forums I checked out are pretty much either ghost towns or run by these super uptight mods who cared more about banning folks than making everyone feel welcome. Like, they didn't want anyone setting boundaries or responding to their baits, which always ended in a ban. It was pretty sad seeing these supposedly grown adults not knowing how to just chill and communicate. And then, like, some people would come back on different accounts, trying to find some fair fun, but they just couldn't find it, man.
