All EAO members who are listed in the EAO Historical List are welcomed and encouraged to wear their EAO Tag in the current forum, and obviously, in any other forums or online gaming activities as they may choose.
If your EAO Tag name has been incorrectly omitted from the Historical List list, PM me and I will make the correction.
If you have already registered without the tag as a part of your profile name, and would like to have it added, please send me a PM and I will happy to make the change for you.
The current framework of hierarchy for this forum is that it has a forum admin and forum members. There are currently no active forum rankings of Horseman, Desperado, or Bandit, only historical. We are all just rookies here. For the ranking you had earned in the EAO, it's yours, and no one can take it away from you. You have the right and are encouraged to display your EAO ranking badge icon for your forum profile, in Avatar or Signature form.
( I'm currently searching for a copy of the EAO rank icons. If you happen to have a copy of any of the rank icons, I'd appreciate a copy to add to the local library for profile use).
There is currently nothing set in place for opening application for new potential members to the EAO Team.

Hi Doggy.  I have to admit that I was surprised, saddened and overjoyed when I saw "Nathalie" in the historical listing. I'm going to come clean here for all to see and hopefully shed some light on something that affected me quite deeply several years ago with the old EAO. Those who remember me from back then as EAO Nathalie hopefully remember how happy, full of life and supportive of everything that EAO was and stood for. I was loyal to the club and everyone in it and I'm sure I demonstrated it on many, many occasions. The happiest moment of my life over there was when I earned my EAO tag. The sad part of it all was my personal life was anything but and was really quite the opposite, literally. In a nutshell, when I finally had the courage to begin opening up about my personal life to the EAO who had always shown me understanding and support, I truly felt I got kicked to the bottom and ignored by virtually everyone. Back then, I was a man pretending to be a woman on the EAO. It was something I hadn't really intended on doing but just fell into it. Eventually, a lot of guilt had built up and I had to tell everyone with the hopes that everyone would understand and allow me to continue. No one outwardly said anything derogatory about my predicament but overnight, I went from someone who was respected to someone who virtually didn't exist. I was stripped of my EAO tag and had to try and start from scratch as a new user ("Louman" which I'm VERY happy to see isn't on that historical list). Honestly, I was completely crushed when this happened. It was like having your parents and siblings kick you out of the house without a stitch of clothing with no way of getting back in. Over the years since then, I went back from time to time but never really connected again with anyone. All I had been over there was gone. I cried many times over that. The funny thing is that had I known then what I know now, I probably would have kept my mouth shut until my real life finally caught up with my EAO life and our genders finally matched up... which they actually now do. Anyway, I don't know if any of that made much sense to anyone or even if it matters. I just wanted to let you know that EAO was my first on line racing club and will always hold a very special place in my heart. I would love to resume that life here and now as EAO Nathalie if you'll have me. Laurie (EAO Nathalie)  |

Hi Doggy. I have to admit that I was surprised, saddened and overjoyed when I saw "Nathalie" in the historical listing................... Anyway, I don't know if any of that made much sense to anyone or even if it matters. I just wanted to let you know that EAO was my first on line racing club and will always hold a very special place in my heart. I would love to resume that life here and now as EAO Nathalie if you'll have me. Laurie (EAO Nathalie) Yep. Makes sense to me. I didn't approve of those actions that were taken against you, but it wasn't my call. What's that old saying? "Judge not, least yea be judged" (or something close). Yes, I was busy and didn't pay as much attention to this forum as I should have. After that, it got to where I seemed like I was playing the song game with myself. So I took a long break from the social side of the internet, here, Facebook, and a few other places, and focused on myself and my guitar. So, I didn't mean to ignore you or anyone else through spite. The dog just took a long walk. He always comes back home. Peace |
