Remember the days when we were all hurrying to read the latest installment of so-and-so's poorly written FFXI journal? I recall, way back when, going through page after page of some importer's journal, my eyes blank and glazed-over and my jaw hanging wide. At one point I had thousands of saved screenshots from entries that were just too good lose; I was sure they'd disappear if I didn't save them. While I can't really remember any of those specifically now, does anyone else have similar memories? Did you have any favortie adventurers, or were you one of the first to write about it?
Sure, many of us have got our current ones (advertisement:

I'd love to hear about this from others' perspectives. It'd be great if anyone had old links to tales of adventure in Vana'diel with the original entries intact.
