    So I haven't been on this website in a long time and every time that I come here I always think of when we had Duptopian Review back in 2013. Does anyone that was there for that remember? Anyway, so like I always do when I come here I went down the rabbit hole to see if I could find remnants of the website and I did and it is called Dubtopian Review refuge. I will post the link later, I want to know more about why it failed and ended up getting taken down. I also have a challenge for some of you OG's out there, can you log on to the website. I tried to do it with my current stuff because I know that's what got transferred here so it shouldn't have been no problem but it could not find me. Here is the link; http://justdubsrefuge.forumotion.com/t991-dubtopian-review-grand-opening-time-to-pack-your-bags

    I also want to know that I m not the only OG person who thinks of this from time to time. Please share your story of how you came about in Dubtopian Review; were you someone like me and had an original account or where you someone that got invited (you could register as an outsider if a member sent you an invite) and you stood with us for the one and I think half year that that site was up. Lastly, if you were there what do you remember from that site? I remember watching the full thing of Tiger and Bunny on that website.

    @Animeguru716 Haha wow, talk about unusual to hear. You don't usually see people brag about being from DTR, that was more of a dark part of our history. Right after the original Just Dubs closure, The Refuge was opened quickly to keep us together. DTR was the next attempt at reclaiming what we had but by being limited to invites the site never grew. The acronym was also a lot worse and the idea of focussing on reviews in general seems foolish now.
    It did its purpose but it had a lot of issues.

    So to say I'm an OG sounds very weird to me since there are names that I consider OG that are completely gone from this site. Narutoengdub people are the true OG, not a title many can hold.
    Here I think @Noobs @Metazoxan @Timekeeper are much more appropriate to ask about OG membership.

    Needless to say I've been around since October 2011 so I've got some of the fun memories of what it use to be like. I've also got some of the stories over the years. I'm most definitely on the Refuge but I can't remember my log in now, I tried a few of the variations but no luck.
    I mostly remember everyone complain that it wasn't the same forum, how stupid invite only streams were, the necessary addition of a Skype chat for everyone since bitching about the forum was far too common place, and the general disinterest of that site resulting in slowly losing members.

    First off, I don't want to brag. It's just that I come to this website for a while and then I stop coming for years only to think about coming back again. Then when I come back the first thing that think about is are those people who were here since the beginning. I would love to hear your stories. I mean Just Dubs was my second website that I used for anime right after Anime Ratio. Thank you for clearing some things up, I knew some of what you already said and some of it I figured out myself. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and responding. If you know anyone else that has a story please tell them that they are more than welcome to drop by and open up about this weird past that we all seem to forget at times but still remember.

    @Animeguru716 what I mean by bragging was just that it was your positive experience that you remember fondly. Not that it is a bad thing, but for DTR to be the positive experience that you had with this community sounds unusual.
    Unfortunately our resident site historian is now one of those lost users, Shogun has seemingly vanished from the site over the more recent years. He had a wealth of site history to tell, it was always his history lessons being posted on Skype. So I think that part now falls to @Sporadic for obvious reasons.
    Wasn't @Walshy and @Vapen also Narutoengdub people? Or were you two early Just Dubs members?

    Oh and bonus points to me, after posting last night I thought hard about my previous passwords. And guess what, I can still log into The Refuge. Hell yeah.

    Ah yeah im from back in those days .I was on a different user name back then . I went by Jrwalsh_2004 when i was apart narutoengdub. I was supper hard into forums back then because thats just how allot of the old guys did things back then. We did not have Facebook and Myspace was just coming out . So most people back then looked for chatroom's and forums to talk to others socially. I've been around for over 10 years now .There are a few others still kicking around. If you would like to hear my story i am more then gladly willing to tell of the tales of the old times but right now im typing this on my phone. Lol.

    just want to let you guys know that the company's system im working at found a malware when i visited the site.

    now thats out of the way, it would be safe to say that im part of the the 2nd gen of members of the site. as for the story of how i ended up here when mrYosos901 invited me to join JD back in 2009 when he saw me browsing at another forum site thats more basically dead at that time so i figured why not. back then, threads in every section get updated by the minute (its surprising yeah). at that time, i noticed that the asylum had the least activity (because post counts are not counted) so i decided to get a low profile and frequent that section the most. it was a good start to get to know the members and how wacky they could be. so fast forward to 2011 and somebody created the "The last person to post win" thread and i decided to spam the heck out of it just to be the last one to post then @Supernatural-Knight came along with Lexal/lunar and thats how, as SK put it, i managed to get him to stay in this site. then fast forward 2012 and the apocalypse happened. then refuge was created with all the bugs/confusion/fights/compromises then DTR was made. then some hierarchy trouble happened then JAO was created. all was well we lost some active members up to that point but hey we also managed to retain some good ones as well. and then here we are now called JDO.

    I've been to Narutoengdub, but I never joined any part of the site until it was Justdubs. I ended up being one of the top posters at the time, but that was when I was in school and not working as much and wanting to just sleep after work all the time.

    @Walshy @Vapen You guys are still around? Man nice to see you guys are still.... well alive. Might sound weird to say that but you never know what might happen after you stop seeing someone for a while. :p

    I'm sorry. I know what you mean, I don't want to say that this was a good time or a bad time, it was more of a weird time. Awesome that you were able to log back. Did you go exploring on the site or was it too weird to be there and you got out quick?

    Please do tell me your story. I know that my story is brief since I only watched one anime on there because the other ones were still in the process of getting their episodes uploaded. I remember what it was too; it was Tiger and Bunny oddly enough.

    Ha! nice and totally understandable. The reason why I barely come now is because I work and go to school.

    Same here, When I learned about it I quickly came and signed up, but they didn't have a lot of anime up at the time so I din't go on for a while.
