We all know that the forums have been dying a slow death here at psx2central. So what is going to happen? Are these forums going to be moved to a new location or are they just going to fizzle out after we move our separate ways?
What ever happened to that other site you guys came up with? VGN? I remember that there was a lot of work going into it but it just fell off the map.
Whats going on?
-
the forums will die out... psx3c may be born.... but with there being no main site.. doubtful.
-
psx3central.com is already taken by SCEA
-
With all due respect to Bjorn, and whatever head honchos there are left... This is just a really shitty way to run a forum... This place would literally be nothing if regulars didn\'t bother stopping by frequently... I keep posting more and more over at offtopic.com, and just come back here from time to time and am always disappointed. Gradually I\'m probably gonna drift away from this place... its been on a decline for awhile, and is bound to hit rock bottom soon.
No main site. No new members.
These forums suck.
-
don\'t let the door hit your ass on the way out..
no wait, let it.
personally this is my main "hang out" forum. I post at a few others but this one is like the pub where everyone knows your name....

Yeah, same here. At OT nobody gives a shit who you are, therefore it\'s no fun to post there. Sure there\'s more action making it more fun to lurk, but bothering to post? No thanks.
-
i think someone should just make another god forsaken site.

Same for me. This is my home on the internets.
-
me too. If this place closes, I will be lost.
-
Happened to me once at a Bjorn owned site, no reason why it won\'t happen again.
This is the only message board I go to, so it\'ll be a sad day when it dies.
-
This is the only place I really post on, my home away from home on the internet.
-
Well, I enjoy the forums.. although I\'m a regular at 3+ other boards too.. so..
Lemme just put it out there that I\'d be interested in contributing if there were to be a multi-platform sequel to PSX2C. (i.e. write IGN-esque reviews for games, likely PS3/Rev)
-
Just a matter of time before this site is gone all the way and none of us see each other again. i\'m sure someone will start another forum and try to relive the glory days, but it\'ll be a failed attempt.
-
post counts are pretty level per month over the last year
nothing can compare to the n64universe forum, anyways
-
Despite my lack of posts, I actually visit and enjoy this forum more regularly than any other. I might just shed a tear if psx2central forums died.
Or...I\'d have 30 mins of my life back every day.
I wub you guys.

The place is just loaded with so many funny and ridiculous threads... The more I post in it, the smaller it seems to get.
-
this is my favorite forum, everything from mm\'s charm to racer\'s smell keeps me coming
-
I must admit,if this place were to close down, I would definately miss mm\'s musk.
Oh well, I\'m sure when it dies someone will find another small forum with dedicated but regular members, and we could mesh into their cojmmunity nicely.
Of course, not everyone would be able to make it, but it\'s bound to happen.

Same here. I post at another forum but not regularly since it is extremely dead (and I go to GISN like once a month). If this forum goes, I\'ll be lost. Actually, I\'ll find another forum but it won\'t be the same since this is my online family and has been for 4 years.
-
I\'ve basically been through this same thing before, as I already said. I was a regular poster on the n64cc message boards before that site shut down. It was bjorn\'s previous site. No new site came when Gamecube came out. We wanted to try to get the members to mesh somewhere else, and tried a lot of things. We even tried to "mesh" in here, the way you\'re suggesting. The ultimate result of that mesh...myself and Jamas are about the only ones left.
-
yea this is about the only site i post on...if this site were to go i\'d be lost as well. i agree with others here, it\'s like a small family we got here...
-
<---- O.G.
-
I come here to hang out so to speak. To have some nice postings with some people I\'ve become accustom to seeing. It\'s all good from my stand point. I don\'t care about any new members, not even the lack of actual videogame material here. OT is where it is at anyway.
-
If this place goes to hell then wtf would I do? Build my post count on another forum then proceed to make fun of them? It just wouldn\'t be the same. :(

Don\'t forget about me I was a regular at n64cc for awhile!
-
I visit other forums, and other places on the net, so I\'ll always have some place to hover around if these forums shut down.
It will be sad though if/when it should happen. I\'ve been here for over 3 years now, and for me, it\'s the members that make the forums, not the site/console/game they were set up for.
I\'d be most sad about losing contact with the people here, this place has got a very unique sense of humour, and some quirky characters of the sort that is lacking on all the other boards I frequent.
I just hope this place doesn\'t die, but if it does, maybe we should all go and invade some other forum and turn it into PSX2C v2.0.
-
It\'s been tried before, anyone remember GameTrigger? Ginko, where are you buddy. Some of us tried to form up over there. Didn\'t work. If this forum dies, I probably won\'t take the time to post anywhere else. I swear, I think the only reason i still frequent here is out of habit.
-
haha, 2010 when the PS4 comes out, this place will still be alive. >_<. 20 years later when everyone is old and hurting all over, we\'ll look back at old posts and grave dig a few threads and talk about how kids today are useless piles of poo.

I know how it is. When i first started coming here, it took me almost 2 years to actually sign up and star posting.
..................................
But yeah. This is my main spot. I post on some other forums but some are so impersonal that its just not the same. Sometimes i wont post here for a while but i always come back. I dont know what it is really. Theres not too too much else that i do on the net that takes up my time like this place.
Whatever happens, happens though i guess.
-
GameTrigger was great while it lasted. Then people stopped showing up.
-
Yeah I miss GT. I think I was a mod for one of the forums! That might just be my wishful thinking working up though.
I liked the music forum. Was leet.

A few others were, mm and Eik for example, but the collective group effort to move most of us here didn\'t involve you guys, you were already here.
-
One day we\'re all gonna go on our pc\'s to visit the forum and it will be gone, I see this happening soon. I have got to agree with samurai, this forum is a dead horse, doesn\'t even have a site anymore :(.
I love you guys.
-
Yeah, tried it all before at the CC\'s...actually had some people go there just because it was there for about a year, then it officially died out and nobody paid for it anymore. Tried another site, didn\'t work, people separated, and Shocky\'s just about the only one I talk to from back in the day.
It\'s a shame to say, but it\'ll probably happen here as well...meh.
See Yuz.
-
I post over at Penny Arcade.
Losing these forums would suck though. Fond, dumb ass memories that still entertain me.
-
You\'re just about the only one I talk to anymore too James. That, and occasionally Derek. You should see that kid...he has so much hair...it\'s like bizzaro orphy or something.
-
When the forums seem like they are going under, we should make a Screen Name/contact data base so we can all keep in contact.
-
Say your goodbye\'s, it\'s on its way to being phased out.

Thats not what Björn said a few months back.
This forum and the league sites will stay up and running as long as there are members coming visiting the site (and as long as we have the people who everybody here loves, yea, the mods! )
this forum is going nowhere.... it will be up for a long time, as long as the members are here (and the mods for that sake). the BW is cheap and I like this place
You got owned back then, you said the site would be down within three months.
Björn > You
:)
-
Dont let this place die out. Even if people don\'t post here as often anymore (hell, I haven\'t been here in ages) they should still keep the forums running.
They have been alive for well over 5 years, and there are alot of regulars.
-
5 years for me, wow.
-
Hehe, I\'ve been coming here for 5 years, why should I stop now? I\'ll stop coming when there\'s only me and Jumpman left. ;)
-
Yeah, I don\'t see why this place should die or why some of you are anticipating its death now more then ever. When it comes to the Internet, about the only sure fire thing that will always exist is search engines. Forums and just about every other site will die for one reason or another. Remember Daily Radar? When this place does eventually go, I will miss the conversations, but I\'m not going to anticipate or think about it just yet. I come here twice a day to check on things and although I don\'t post, I definitely enjoy reading the quips. :)
-
Yeah this place use to be the shit. I remember when I first actually decided to sign up and actually post.
I remember my first actual screen name I had here that got banned.:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
I was given one of those stupid avatars
After that I quit joking and signed up with a legit name and have been here ever since. It will be 5 years. Wow those were great times.
Now the place is like a ghost town.
-
It\'s surprising how many 4+ year regulars are still here. My account says sometime in 2002 but I registered the first time in Sept 2000.
I miss the glory days of console discussion. Where there would be debates, and I\'d flip out and throw every insult in the book mixed in with arguments.
-
I miss clyde and the times when trolls were given their special avatar.
-
I\'ll be going on 4 years here in September, that seems like a long time for some reason.

Oh come on Sammy. I have such little of a life that I\'ll still be around.
-
This is leterally the only site i go to for "fun" for want of a better word, been her about 4 years...woohoo

:laughing:
-
Almost 6 years here...if this site closed down...that would suck ass. The members here are like family. We all know each other, so that\'s really cool. You guys rock!
psx3central.com is already taken by SCEA
That doesn\'t have to be the only choice. I\'m sure we could think of something.

That rules...
-
howabout gaysx3central! :D
-
Or how about gays3xcentral. ;)
That pouting pic rocks too. :D
-
hey gays. I mean guys.
-
No lets have gays3xcentral
we can combine a PS3 forum ...with a forum used to plan world wide Gay pride marches.
-
Damnit, I dont want to lose all the members here. This is the first forum I ever joined. Id like to make another site, but no one (with the exception of a few) seem to care for the idea.
I am working on a site now that will have a main page with lots of interviews and weekly columns. Everyone is more than welcome to join once its up and running. Its more or less graphic / multimedia / video based, but none the less, it could work as a new home.. if you bastards weren\'t so damned lazy, and moved your asses over. :)
Kisses

I\'ll leave if someone doesn\'t fucking clean my house already.

No homo.

Oh, and random numbers over here...I guess I talk to him, too...
...FORGIVE ME!
See Yuz.
-
I\'d say you don\'t count cause you never post her, but your avatar is too cool to be held down.
Change your name to CD. Now.
-
Fayded... dang kid I haven\'t spoken to you in ages and forever!
<3
-
How the hell do you change your name? I\'m not making a new account, i\'m too damn lazy.
Didair! How\'ve you been dude?
-
lol that troll pic brings back memories
-
Bonus points: what was my first name on the cc?

*forgot what it was*
Probably had something to do with Mallow, though.
See Yuz.

That was my 2nd :p
Only needed it after the ROL related powers that be saw fit to ban me. Assholes.

I remember your Vivi avvy, that was cool.
