I haven't been on FR long, less than 2 years, but my daughter's been a committed player since 2014. Occasionally we'll talk about FR older days, you know, when there were far fewer colors and trades went by the honor system. I love it when she shares these memories and it got me wondering about other players. What stories are out there about the early years of FR, the good ones, I mean. We all know there are goofs and glitches in the online world, but I'd like to hear some of the older players' best memories if anyone cares to share.
I'll start with one I remember well. I can't remember the year, but there was an epic battle between light and nature flight (my daughter's) for dominance. Light flight was bigger with more members, but small nature flight put up an amazing battle. I would get updated several times a day as dominance shifted from one to the other, light ahead then nature snatching the lead, back and forth for days. Then, on the last day it was a razor's edge changing literally by the second. When it was finally over and the status updated, I heard this loud, "I can't believe it!! We won!!" from her bedroom. Congratulations were flying over the forums, and even light flight, much to their credit, chimed in. What a great moment for the players and the site. I remember it clearly, and it's one of my daughter's favorite FR moments, as well.
What are some other great FR moments? I'd love folks to share these golden nuggets of memories.

Probably the gods interacting with the site. Like when the Arcanist accidentally took over Greenskeepers and made the 'Festival of 1' and the Stormcatcher yelling at people to be more productive.
Light's triple dom effort was certainly a heck of a time too.

the answer is in my signature.
I remember when my family also played, and I would make lair graphics for my mom. We're older, and I've been out of the house for more than 15 years. So it was really nice to have a game to play with my sisters and my mom. I still check their lairs occasionally.
I like talking to them about the game now and try to convince them to play again. [emoji=nocturne winking]

There were some very epic dom battles, for sure. Plague vs. Water for one.
The Naomi incident is the most memorable for me. Just suddenly getting this random dragon delivering my stuff instead of the courier dragons.

The fun chaos of the first NotN probably? That sure was a fun time. And as someone else said, the deities interacting with players was nice :')

Hmm... well I got a lot of good memories! I have that one time I accidentally started a war between Noggles and Phytocats, I remember the Meatheat incident. I loved BotE, it was a great lore event. Ooh, there was also Baldwin turning into a bogsneak!
My favorite memory though? The same as yours, LvN! Not sure if it's the same one though, lol. All of them though always turn into a fantastic fight, because we of the nature flight aren't active dommers, but we sure as heck can pack a punch! All of them are so intense and I love dom battles <3
The one I remember best and the one I enjoyed most was the Impromptu battle what, 3 years ago now? where Light was going for triple dom and nature was just chilling, and then in the middle of the week a full fledged battle just broke out between the two of us. That was the best Dom battle I've ever taken part in, and is one of the reasons why I love Dom so much!

Definitely the colorwheel expansion teaser. The thread quickly devolved into memes. It was so chaotic but so much fun to follow.

Not that old, but I loved the swiftwing silhouette in the old lair slots.

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream, separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
