The History
The Friendly Neighborhood Tournament has an epic and unforgettable history. It began with a simple Meet and Greet thread named "Heartz, The Femme Fatale Brawler", a thread created by yours truly on May 18, 2008. This was no ordinary introduction. The title surprisingly brought hundreds of curious members, and became one of the greatest and most active threads on all of Smash World Forums.
I spit that hot fire back then. I was noble as hell.
WROOOOOOOOOONGGGG!!!
He wasn't lying.
The thread became so massive that everyone suggested an online tournament, so I made one. The thread was then moved to OTL forums, without any notice.
This was true. It was all the rage back then, but now we have female Smash Elitists, so it isn't so great anymore.
It was a haven for those who wished to hang and chill with like-minded individuals looking to talk about Smash, shows, and life in general.

Hell, we've even had special guest appearances.
Despite all this, the thread was constantly attacked by trolls and other nuisances.
Fortunately, most of the veterans were extremely defensive and initiative. We held the fort quite well. I was always the one that tried to subside the flame wars with sugar-coated comments, but then I learned that being nice all the time was not the answer. This explains my current "e-disposition".
The Meet and Greet was spam. Everybody in it knew it, but it didn't stop us. We were having so much fun, and people really took it to heart, because it is where it all began. We weren't a bunch of newbies looking for post plus. We actually held conversations and got to know each other on a personal level, but not TOO personal.
But what mattered is that we had something. I was quite the rapist back then, and me being a chick made it even more special.
My innocence was a mindgame itself.
Logic meant nothing to me back then. It still doesn't. lol
I've met very great people in this thread, and most of them I still talk to, though not as much. I won't be able to mention you all. The thread is too huge for me to seek posts.
Karina used to be so sweet.
Luke. I never did know why they thought he was a girl. haha.
"Quality" time? What a perv.... jk. Adam should never had changed...
Kyle was such a noob. rofl
I even stood up to the mighty G&W of Penta.
I reminded people of their family members. How awesome is THAT?
I started thinking my Zelda was cheap, and that is when I began using others like Pit and Peach.
..Then I started failing using other characters. lololol
But the point is, there were a lot of people who took this thread the wrong way, which eventually led to its closure. But much happened before that.
Everybody thought it would be a great idea for us to make a website for FNT. I specialized in graphic and web design, so they wanted me to have a go. So...I did...
Lester (DarkLeviathan89) decided it should be "Next Wonder", after a brainstorming session. We then proceeded to call it "Next Wonder Gaming" to give it a gaming feel to it. We called it "NeW" for short, because it was something "new" for us.
We made it a clan for Brawl, so we battled other clans for fame and glory. Our first match was "Honors Wrath", a gaming clan I used to play for. I was their "top player", and the reason I left is because some of the members were really rude, racist, and sexist. The clan now is owned by former NeW clan member, Super_sonic8677 or some numbers along that line... lol
NeW had really good players, but this was pretty much the beginning of the "end".
FNT was indeed a tournament, but it wasn't focused on competition. We barely dealt with tournaments. We kind of did it whenever we felt like it. Basically, an excuse to keep the thread moving.
The point is, what made the thread so great and special was its "friendly" atmosphere, not who was better than what. Basically, competition and elitism is what destroyed us. NeW was a great site, and everyone was excited for its creation, but then personal problems began further trouble for it.
I lost access to a computer, so I was unable to make modifications to the site, or perform maintenance. The site was having database errors left and right, and there wasn't anything we could do about it.
Our activity on Smashboards died down, and the thread's hustling and bustling nature was put to an end. I still blame myself for it all, because that striked the end of FNT. We hated to see the thread like that, so we attempted to revive it:
FAILURE.
It was subject to happen. We knew it, just not when we were beginning to revive the thread.
Furthermore, I was having a few life issues, and I had to sell my Wii, and everything I had. I then forced myself to leave the web for 6 months. I had asked my boyfriend Morris (~Cruxis~) to keep watch everyone, so that he can let them know how I am doing. I really needed to focus on alot of things besides the web.
But I have returned last February, and a lot has changed. Everyone tried to keep NeW going when I was gone, but apparently a lot of drama occured. I couldn't believe the story...
FNT has come a mighty long way, but now, it is just a memory. I will never forget the times I spent with these magnificent people. And no, I won't be making another shoutout blog. lol
The Celebration
Well, that time is near. 3 hours from now is the anniversary of FNT. Please take the time to express your feelings and reminisce along with me as we countdown.
