If you're like me, you miss those great olden days of CT. In those days, the wars were going on and CT was free.
Do you remember those days with the nice plaza with the weird "AOL Symbol" (as I called it) and it was daytime outside! You may also recall that City Hall didn't look like it does today. Back then, City Hall was bigger.
Have you ever seen this sight? If your answer is "No." then it's because you're not old enough, Child! Back in my day we had to walk 30 miles over a old dial up connection just to get to the flea! Then Again, perhaps you haven't snooped around City Hall like I have.
Yes folks, the old City Hall is still attached to the part we see today.
Perhaps you've seen this image. These are "The doors that do not open" in the City Hall's main hallway. Most people don't see these too often as they're usually pre-occupied with town meetings. Fascinating things happen there and those meetings are always interesting
What most people don't know is, there's something on the other side of those doors... something big... what is it? It's a living piece of Cytonian History we are showing you right here!
Adorned with the historic NeoLoyalist/Loyalist army's logo trimmed in gold, you see revealed the old City Hall attached quietly to the new City Hall!
It amazes me that it has been almost 6 years since those doors were barred during the Wars, yet this piece of history still remains!
It comes complete with two additional pieces of history as we see below!
As can see the pre- trial plaza is captured in a picture here and the original Cybertown Pledge still stands!
It Reads:
"AS A CITIZEN OF CYBERTOWN
I PLEDGE TO UPHOLD EACH
OF THE PRINCIPLES OF CYBER-
ETIQUETTE AND TO
ENCOURAGE MY FELLOW
CITIZENS TO DO THE SAME
I WILL STRIVE TO MAINTAIN
A FAMILY-ORIENTED
COMMUNITY FOR ALL
FELLOW CITIZENS AND
NEWCOMERS ALIKE"
amazing, isn't it?
Yes with all good memories, there are also sad ones, some of which are quite sobering.
"What's sobering to you, fj?"
There's also one reminder of someone,
Someone I never had the chance to meet.
Someone who was a hero of Cybertown.
Someone who passed away to join the good Lord sooner than we had expected...
Someone... many people loved...
I nearly came to tears upon seeing that one picture we know so well... The only picture I've seen of him...
In City Hall... This picture still remains...
A picture... of... Flyby...
May you rest in peace Flyby...
