According to the timestamp on the screenshot, this was taken on October 11th, 2005, well before the invasion and ruining of Grotto:

Oh, and about FH.. dunno 'bout how long we ([afk]) will be there. Having the same problems with random haters just 'cause of the guild tag as when some of us were in [xD] in Grotto. >.>

It's a shame that people need to shed some hate due to the act of being afk or a guild tag [afk].. jeez. Very petty. I personally don't mind any of you afk's in there at all. Kind of adds to the peace.

I do remember some really fun times in ye' ol' Grotto.. I was not directly involved, more just enjoying the festivities and coming back and fro' for some idle time or chat.

Sometimes I'm at FH, sometimes not.

Although, i'm not involved enough to put a finger on what exactly changed Grotto from great to mediocre. Probably was a busy time for me, or I just simply wasn't paying enough attention. My apologies, I'm usually caught up in PVE or whatnot. It's nice to see some shots from people who had some good times there.

Here's to more, somewhere, some time!

Eh... you got your share of good/bad people in there. First time I popped in, there were around 5-10 people making "fun" of anyone who didn't have 15k armor. Saying how we felt inadequate or w/e because we were around all these "leet" people with their armor. I did meet up with a few other rangers and we started dancing though

i still find it a pretty nice place, my ignore list is full of people from there, but if it gets too much with people flashing rank 3 "in my face" and saying "nice ebay armor", i just leave :3

I don't know how it is these days, but I heard it's still pretty bad. :| That made me lol ^_^

I don't have much personal experience about the "golden days" of grotto since I had quit for a while but I did hear that it was a nice haven for a while. As from what I experienced now....let's just say that I prefer going to intnl grotto just to make my 15k armors =p (Yes I find Grotto chat to be that bad)
